>>10628494for all the talk about wanting a MOTU beat em up Im surprised by how obscure that fan game still is
Now that Fangor and Slither out of the way, do you think we will get our next exclusive next month? Or do you think we're in for a one or two month hiatus like we had between Frog Monger and Skeletor?And which one do you think will be next?
Say something nice about him
>>10630264If Mighty Spector can time travel, why doesn't he travel back to 1939 and destroy some German railway lines?
>>10630264Need Origins NOW
>>10630273No germans on Eternia innit
>>10630274At this point I'm sure mattel has thought of it, and I wouldn't be shocked if we got a spector before despara. Has anyone got any movement on lady slither? Seems like it'll be a bulk shipment that takes weeks for fed ex to break down given how quickly it 'shipped'.
>>10630320He-man wears an iron cross and is clearly an übermensch. His enemy was voiced by a guy named Oppenheimer.
>>10630419He-Man's mom is American and the Oppenheimer voice guy never wins!
>>10630264No, stop spamming and samefagging the threads Scott no one cares about your shit Deadpool ripoff OC or your desperate youtube channel, move on ya sad sack.
>>10630154There has got to be more for this year. I thought the previous rumors of Lord Grasp and Terroar might have some substance, but its hard to say right. Do they still do a online skeletor showcase type reveal late in the year ? Cant remember if they do.
>>10630644They only did that last year and it's because they were doing weekly reveals to bridge the gap between SDCC and MotU's anniversary in Oct.
>>10630780Looks better with just a touch of armor when glowing imo
>>10630419>His enemy was voiced by a guy named Oppenheimer.So was his best friend.

Why does the captin of the guard and royal bodyguard hang around in a swimsuit?
>>10631007It's an action battle-suit anon, if she was wearing pants it would restrict her kicks range of motion and impact, not to mention grip when shes choking out villains with a leg lock.
>>10631007Show dominance over the guard. Keep,them simping and show them they protect the sexy ladys of Eternia.
>>10631007Because if you had legs like that you'd want every one to see them too
>>10631007She's a slut with no capacity to think about the consequences of her actions, hence her behavior in Revelation
>>10631132And this is why Teela should be scrapped and Sorceress given a more active role as the female MC of this franchise
>Saw two Moss-Man at a Wal-Mart before I knew how shit the distribution was.>Now can’t find any.>Saw one was left at local Walmart so I bought it online for pickup.>Just got a notification that they had to substitute it for another item because they don’t actually have it.
>>10631007Same reason the legendary hero wears fur undies.>>10631132One of the few things consistent from Filmation to Revelation.
The madman broke apart 3 Lady Slithers and combined the tail into one long one.https://youtu.be/cj-XGManpAQ?si=UY75KTpUPEraJ8Ze
>>10631302Love freak of nature Rattlor with 2 tails.
Some poor guy got his Lady Slither without a tail...and without Lady Slither herself.
>>10631000 Now with centaur-sucking action
>>10631319So, like...he got a box with a sword, a staff and a skirt?
>>10631323These two didn't even get Classics figures... are they eternally doomed?
>>10631330And a comic, yes.
>>10631345The frog chick probably is...she's a single episode cartoon only character that only even gets mentioned by like one guy in these threads, most likely for monster girl cooming reasons. She's never getting a toy
Why the fuck is Target suddenly restocking battlearmor skeletor and Buzzsaw Hordak?
>>10631345I've been going over New Adventures and I'm more lenient on it than most and I'll tell you every time I see Sagitar I'm just like "nope that design is hideous".

How bad would it go if they got him to talk at Pulsecon?
>>10632236>Harmony Gold and Bandai have the rights to Transformers characters, so the brand will die in 2025 as the rights return to them.
>>10632236He would just spend his alloted time begging for a job by telling them how he'd run the Star Wars line, which he knows about from his experience with the Jakks Pacific Star Wars bigfigs.
>>10631733Really? NA has a lot of hideous characters, it's weird to imagine Sagitar standing out. Especially when centaur that can turn into four-armed giant seems like exactly the kind of spark of creativity that most of that line is just missing.
>>10631007>swimsuitBehead all zoomers.
Australians, Big W has the new Origins figures. I bought Spikor yesterday.
>>10631302I wonder if this guy regrets creating that strained character voice for his reviews, must give himself a fucking headache. It's a real pain to listen to, cool modification though and his custom KIng Serpent actually looks much better than Lady Slither, I just can't get over her derpy face sculpt.
>>10632236Go to bed scott it's past (you)'re bed time.
>>10632740I don't get why he does.The voice was funny when he's playing Drunk He-Man, but when you're at Hobby Lobby buying leaves to stick in a diorama I don't need to hear it.
>>10632211I like that!
Roton is kinda weird when you consider its marketing in media vs what it actually is:>designed to be played with as a ground vehicle, pushing it around the floor is how you activate the feature>even the box art portrays it as such, Skeletor uses to to cut grass I guess?>but every cartoon and comic uses it as a flying vehicle>if you play with it that way, the feature won't activate
>>10630264I can’t think of a single nice thing to say…
>>10632488Yeah but they're intentionally hideous. Meanwhile Sagitar is meant to be "heroic" and his power is to be a discount human centipede.
>>10632854Spinwit, Artilla, Missile Armor Flipshot.
>>10630264He wouldn't be that expensive to make.He was part of cool project that gave us new cool characters...other than him. Like, even Laser-Lot or Cy-Chop are kinda cool.
>>10632873>He was part of cool project that gave us new cool characters...other than him.That's the difference between creatives inventing new characters to fit into an existing universe and a marketing guy forcing his childhood OC donut steal into the universe because he has no imagination. Most of the anons in these threads that have come up with characters have been more inventive than Scotty and his Purple Deadpool Mary Sue.
>>10632873>>10632889I think that whole project kind of reveals that this fandom as an entity is pretty devoid of imagination or creativity>do a create a character contest>actually get some fun ideas submitted like 3 monsters fused into one, or a guy using his head as a flail>The fandom votes for "Castle Grayskull ..but a person"It's not just uncreative people making up dull ideas, there's a multitude of people that only want dull ideas when offered a choice
>>10632889Yeah, I still can't get over the pure ego of it. He just took a drawing he made when he was a kid and as project manager had Mattel actually produce it. They easily could of given that slot to one of the worthy contest runner ups like Ra-Jar or Major Header.>>10632896>I think that whole project kind of reveals that this fandom as an entity is pretty devoid of imagination or creativityWhat? You must be bitter about something specific not making production, because MOTU fans create all kinds of great customs, original characters and fan art. Just check out the fan sites forums or even insta.>The fandom votes for "Castle Grayskull ..but a person"No, anon Scott and a panel of Mattel employees picked the winner, there was was no fandom vote.
>>10632908>fandom votes for "Castle Grayskull ..but a person">No, anon Scott and a panel of Mattel employees picked the winner, there was was no fandom vote.Oh. Well, I'm an idiot then. Disregard my entire post.
>>10632842>even the box art portrays it as such, Skeletor uses to to cut grass I guess?I need a MotU sitcom where Skeletor is the main character.He-Man is that guy from Castle Grayskull he hates, so he's always scheming to take it from the Sorceress.
>>10632914If Mattel picked that guy that makes sense. They couldn't just pick creative fun idea, they had to pick someone who feels big like he will special enough to deserve victory. It's af if DC comics made top of their best recent characters and picked as a no. 1 Batman Who Laughs aka mashup of their 2 biggest characters.
>>10630264Great for bullying and putting through torture and trap playset features.
Does anyone know where I can find the timeline / family tree of Wun Dar, Vikor, He-Ro Oo-lar and so forth?

Scott tried to wedge this in 20 years "before present" with Man-At-Arms being a 20-years-younger Duncan and Skeletor forgetting that he was Keldor when he claims to be an interdimensional demon, but no official source has accepted that since.Wun-Darhttps://thefwoosh.com/2010/02/first-look-masters-of-the-universe-classics-wun-dar/100 years before Prince Adam was born.

When that was has fluctuated between 500 and 5,000 years before Adam. Castle Grayskull existed in his time and not before. In one telling (Revelation prequel comic), he lived in the Hall of Wisdom and Castle Grayskull's look is an illusion cast to trick villains looking for it.He-RoTreated as a contemporary of King Grayskull since Classics (I think the 2010s DC comic completely ignored his existence, though). The original intent for the 1987 Powers of Grayskull refresh starring He-Ro was that he predated Castle Grayskull, living alongside the Ancients or Elders when the Three Towers stood.
Those are getting ridiculous.
>>10633471Lmao, that one is actually funny. At least nothing's missing
>>10633471Jfc, no wonder they are shipping so quick. I'm scheduled for a Sat delivery next week. I wonder what I'll end up with.

Loving Snake Mountain
>>10634393I wish there was more clearance on the designated bone throne area tho.
>>10633196Thank you for the effort post.I'm not really sure how I feel about a lot of the post-Classics Motu canon. It's a nice thought that they tried so hard to account for everything and make it all fit together but the end result is kind of a mess.
>>10633992That looks awesome!
I can't confirm myself because I'm not on Facebook, but apparently Yla Easton has said in an interview for a fan group that she is in talks with Mattel to get figures of Pig-Head's henchmen made.
>>10634469meh... Pig-Head is really the only villain worth picking up. Really IMHO he's the only character in the entire Sun line worth picking up. Great news for those of you looking to complete the set though, enjoy.I know Mattel was desperate for some more diversity but they would have been better off designing some new characters themselves rather than digging up this almost completely forgotten off-shoot. They could of easily set up Fuerza-T as an alternate universe which is all the rage and expanded the line by creating some original ethnically diverse characters with cool new designs and gimmicks.
So how bad is Moss-man's distro? Ive been banking on him being like Rise of Evil where everyone has meltdown while it's trickling out, then it's absolutely everywhere. But Moss Man being Walmart and not Target makes me worry that won't be the case.
>>10633196Extremely cute Sorceress
>>10634469Are these characters real? Mean are they official and did some prototypes or concepts exist?>>10634501Snizzler is ok too. But i agree that they are just standard bodies in new color and new head.
>>10634594Yes they are real. They all feature in Sun Man mini comicsBut no protos or concepts of toys exist. They solely existed in the comic to give Pig Head someone to boss around
>>10634594>>10634605
>>10634608
>>10634501>meh... Pig-Head is really the only villain worth picking up. Really IMHO he's the only character in the entire Sun line worth picking up.Among the MotU knockoff figures, I'd put Rulers after Warrior Beasts and Galaxy Warriors, but easily ahead of Galaxy Fighters, which released like 6 different white guys with different heads but the same harness and boot/bracer/belt color.
>>10634469CUBE FACE
>>10634644>CUBE FACEIf the character description on his packaging isn't "You Bimbo" or "Wicked Bimbo", it will have been for naught.
>>10630058Yeah
>>10634529I've only ever seen the one case at the store I work at. Haven't seen it at the the stores I sometimes shop at either. It may be panthor 2.0 but I'm not seeing duplico show up at all so who knows. Target and martmart are wildly different in terms of volume on exclusive figures.
>>10634639>I'd put Rulers after Warrior Beasts and Galaxy Warriors, but easily ahead of Galaxy FightersTo each his own, but I'd put all of them over Rulers of the Sun, Galaxy Fighters at least had Iguana and Mace Ape, and Pegasaurus.
>Snake Mountain used to belong to King Hiss before he was trapped in other dimension.TFW you realise Skeletor is a squatter.
No offence but I have 0 interest in another guest-line in Origins. Not in Galaxy Warriors, not in anything. I might allow Fuerza-T as exception but this should be MOTU Origins, not toy version of Smash Bros. Just give them their own line, like with wrestlers if you have to.
>>10634469Yes yes yes! If we've gotten all the rulers then it's only far that we complete the crew. Hopefully she's talking with hasbro to get the bronze bombers into classified.
>>10634605>>10634608>>10634609What a weird comic. Sun-Man is a cowboy?
Get kek'd, Hiss.
>>10634971I love sneks.

>>10634980>*SLAP*>The fuck you say, you little bitch?>SCAREGLOW IS THE SCARIEST, IM JUST THE UGLIEST> That's right, don't have me tell you twice
>>10634962>What a weird comic. Sun-Man is a cowboy?"Introducing the hero as one thing, then dressing him up as another in his first comic" is really weird and amateurish.
>>10634393>TFW still not available in my country
>>10635009He's allowed to have a job outside of being a super hero
>>10634962I see you have never interacted with someone who owns a horse
>>10634971>>10634973Ha! Now I'm curious who would win in a one on one fight between serpentor and king hiss
>>10635045In-universe power levels? Probably Hiss. I love Serpentor, but he's Captain America tier at best. King Hiss has actual primordial snake man magic.
>>10635027If you are in Europe, I just noticed last night that Tradeinn/Kidinn has snake mountain in stock. Priced a bit higher than bbts.
What key opens all doors?
>>10635117The Cosmic Key
>>10635034Sorry, i dont live near a rural site that enables horses nor i am a lesbian.
>>10634109Re-ment Petit Sample Fantasy Item Shop (the helmet too)
>>10635057True true true, serpentor is a clone after all. But serpentor may have a slight edge since he rarely backs down from a fight. But yeah, snake magic and all that seals the deal.
>>10635253Now, if Serpentor can bring all of Cobra and Cobra-La to a fight against Hiss and the Snake Men, I'm giving it to the ruthless worldwide terrorist organization.
>>10635034what did he mean by this?
>>10630154Don't like the Asian look they gave to Sy-clones face, more woke crap being forced down our throats.
>>10630058The only huge playset ive ever owned was the Jakks Pacific Battle Tower and im already impressed by the CG-man Grayskull set. It's just so big to me, and the front removable turrets means I can pretend it's a mobile fortress. Then there's that slowly opening mouth bridge. The only other reason i have it is because bbts has it for $50
>>10635888He took the horse dick!
>>10635987I'm more pissed off about them giving him an open hand, he's supposed to have two fists for punching as he spins.
>>10636054
>>10635987It's 2002 woke crap.
>>10636056Now he can pimp-slap his hoes.
>>10634394>> designated bone throne-That's what I used to call the couch. Fuck. I cleared it by mistake..
Do you think Rotar and Twistoid will have waist articulation? I mean, what's even the point. Their "legs" look all the same under any angle, less room for gimmick and their bodies are too wide to swap with other figs.
I will not be buying any of the filmation stuff coming out
>>10636189Same
>>10630154Just the idea of jumping through the creations hoop once a month is repellent, really really hoping I'm just picturing the worst case scenario though and it's not a drop everything at 10:58 cst and wait for the figures to go live just to sell out by 11:00.
>>10636234I don't think there is a "good" option, then.If it's not "one MC drop every month", the alternate is "three figures spaced out over an entire year probably", and I dont think any of us want to have vintage completion drip fed over 4 or 5 years
>>10636112>Do you think Rotar and Twistoid will have waist articulation? I mean, what's even the point. Their "legs" look all the same under any angle, less room for gimmick and their bodies are too wide to swap with other figs.I think the bottom piece they spin on will be removable, with a system to attach legs. The designers probably think no one will want them unless they have optional legs like Classics.
>>10636252>If it's not "one MC drop every month", the alternate is "three figures spaced out over an entire year probably", and I dont think any of us want to have vintage completion drip fed over 4 or 5 yearsThis. If Sy-Klone, Extendar and Rokkon are the only vintage figures added to Origins next year, that implies something horrible like:2025: Two Bad, Blast-Attak, Stonedar2026: Rio Blast, Dragstor, Hurricane Hordak2027: Saurod, Blade, Gwildor2028: Modulok, Multi-Bot, Twistoid, Rotar
>>10636317>The designers probably know they can charge more if they have optional legs like Classics.Id say this is more likely and accurate>We got away with charging over $30 for Slither because of the tail, if we include legs, we can jack up the cost even more on Energy Zoids
>>10636326God, I'd hope at the least that Modulok would come earlier. The torso and maybe some other stuff was already pretooled (see: Frog Monger).I'm really hoping some vintage stuff will make its way through "fan channels" like BBTS. I dunno, give us some variants or deep cuts that way.
>>10636361I think Modulok WILL come earlier because I'm convinced that there will be at least a 1year gap between him and Multi Bot. I can't see the two boxes of body parts coming in rapid succession.
>>10636326What kinda bugs me is how vehicles like Night Stalker might throw this off. I'm not a huge vehicle fan, but like, will they take MC release dates away from figures?So, like, to compare it to this year's releases of Frog in Jan, He-Skeletor in April, and snakes in Aug and Sept, would next year pull something like Sy-klone in Jan, Stalker in April and the Extendar in Aug? 6 to 8 months between figures because a vehicle snatches a release date in between sounds annoying
>>10636326God no, drop every month definitely sounds better. Especially if they're still planning to do non-vintage releases too every now and then.And there is embrarassingly simple solution: subscription for all vintage figures. Or maybe have them made to order like Grizzzlor.
Lol, King Hiss is a comedy villain now.The idea of him as just a regular snake in a manskin suit comically slithering away every time his suit gets tore up or chopped up is hilarious
Dual wielding bitches
>>10635993the cg-man stuff is getting to be so cheap it almost feels like a waste not to buy some of it. The trapjaw, panthor, and stridor vehicle sets are tempting me around the clock.
>>10636326Now you're just making me wonder when we'll start to see wave refreshers and the turtle crossovers
Winner to be announced next month
>>10636252Once a month sounds OK, don't like the $30 price tag I'm assuming will be attached, but if the order window stays at like an hour or so then it's just feels like I'm doing too much. Once again, I'm just thinking of the worst outcomes. I've stuck it out with origins since the ride started so I'd like to be here, with new origins figures, when the ride stops. Just really thinking mattel should partner with say bbts or entertainment earth for these figures.

>>10637526
>>10637526>welcome to the collection. I hope you like standing around for months at a time and staring off into the void.
>>10637526lol they're completely oblivious that Spector got out of the chains
>>10636893I wonder if any GI Joe fans backed the snake lair to have a Cobra hideout.
>>10637756Why? It's not the style of Cobra.
>>10635993I bet it will hit Ollie's, stores were already done with the CGI line before this even came out and I bet they're sitting on a shitload of them. If it's $30 or less I'm sold.
>>10636893Come on Scooby ApocMachine!
>>10637530 Are the after the taco?
>>10636893I voted Snake Shack and Fright Zone, and although I really like Snakemen, I hope Fright Zone wins. And then I hope they rethink the Doom Tower so that it can combine with FZ to make something akin to pic related with FZ acting as the subterranean crevices.
>>10637756Nah, that's why I picked doom mountain.
>>10637760It isn't?
>>10638129The Snake Lair is the EXACT type of shit Cobra Commander would sign off on
>>10638156Cobra and Evil Warriora/Snakemen had very similar aesthetics.
>>10637903Yes.I wish sssqueeze was same color as eternian guard just to swap arms.
>>10638261Do you have Whiplash? He's the closest to a perfect match
>>10637756I did. I live stuff that can pull double duty.>>10638060I also voted Doom Tower because it gives me Secret Wars playset vibes.
>>10638285I do and forgot about Whiplash. My sssqueeze has one arm loose than the other due to the arm weight and trying to reinforce the shoulder joint. Hope it works.
Non-Americans, has your Lady Slither shipped?
>>10638559Negative.Well at least they havent provided any notification.My made to order Wun-Dar showed up without notification. They need to get their shit together.
>>10636742This is pretty cool.Surprised he's sturdy enough to hold up those hoes.
>>10638575It was a real balancing act, lemme tell ya
Who are the Horde/Universal Monster equivalents? I'm slumped, even expanding past just Universal.>Hordak-Dracula>Mantenna-Metaluna>Leech-Creature from the Black Lagoon>Grizzlor-The Wolf Man>Modulok-Frankenstein?>Catra>Shadow Weaver-The Bride of Frankenstein>Scorpia>Dylamug>Mosquitor-The Fly>Entrapta>Octavia>Wrap-Trap-The Mummy>Despara-Phantom of the Opera>Nosferatu?>Invisible Man?
>>10638559Not yet.
>>10638782Think in less rigid terms and more in pastiches.Mantenna is the bug-eyed alien, Dylamug is the saturday morning serial robot.
>>10638120That's an expensive custom anon. Should have just waited until next year. When they make the 2 pack exclusive.
Mother fucking.....My target restocked 2 year old figures!They cleared out the Shadow Weaver wave a few weeks after getting it in, along with the Space He-Man, but they kept naked Stratos wave, and just put out more Battle Armors.They did have Point Dread set, but that's the only new thing they have now.
>>10638250Well,ehe was once a man...
>>10638782Cgi Hordak seems like Nosferatu to me.
pain.... This is ofc after my brittle armed fangor...... not having good luck with MC lately
>>10639317for those that missed it last time.Im now 2 for 2 bad luck with creationsThis isnt counting the last monster high that my girlfriend bought from MC also had damage to the box so really its 3 for 3 back to back
>>10638782I agree with >>10638897. For example Shadow Weaver is more the Witch or old Hag. Modulok is more the radioactive animal or alien. And Dylamug is more like Re-animator monster that is stitched together.

>>10639318Why didn't you heat him up after people told you last time you broke it? It's just a part of collector life now.
>>10639318Yikes, is Fagnor the only Origins figure with this problem?
>>10639563Pretty sure Scareglow had reports of elbow/knee joint breaks
>>10639516No, he's posting it again for those who missed it along with his crushed Lady Slither to show how he's having shit luck with MC at the moment.
>>10639594My slither has been sitting at a warehouse for almost a week now, guess I'm at the bottom of the pallet? Are they shipping in alphabetical order?
>>10639641I haven't even gotten a shipping notice for my two. The joys of being an international buyer.
>>10639577Wew, I guess it was the right call to put mine in hot water and a hairdryer.
>>10639655Well, now that usps has it, my delivery went from this Sat to next Wed. Let's just hope the toys are in good shape and complete when they do arrive.
>>10639932It's a good precaution for anything that's transparent or GITD thess days, or anything exclusive. I haven't had any issues but let's not start tempting fate.
Let's check in at Castle Grayskull tonight
>>10640449You can't just have these people here! They're Evil Warriors!Naw, it's cool, cuz I'm Adam, Prince of Eternia and shit
>>10640456How's this for a whiplash?
>>10640460Hey, Lyn, how about a quick poke? Wink wink
>>10640462Goddamn, get some deodorant or put your arms down!
>>10640469Nyehheheh! Do it, Clawful! Do it!Nooo, you'll hurt my friend!
>>10640474Godspeed, Missile Toad!We love you, Missile Toad!
>>10640476This party sucks...I miss Blast-AttakOh, cheer up, he'll show up eventually
>>10640480F-fuck you guys...I didn't wanna come to your shitty party anyways
>>10640476>ducktails moon theme>>10640482Has anyone seen that vintage Manny commercial? I remember Skeletor is thinking about attacking, but Manny uses his 3 faces to peak out the windows and trick Skeeter into thinking the castle is full of warriors so he fucks off. It was such a creative use of the figure...
>>10640476God speed missle toad. May your journeys be well, spread your love my friend. >>10640482Big mad..
>>10640482>>10640728
>>10640476:)
>>10640449Real medieval painting energy here.
>>10640476Missile Toad is such a better name than Frog Monger.>>10640460Those LoP paint jobs are so much better than what we got a retail.
Hey are there any shots of how cards of Cartoon Collection figures look from the back? I mean whole shot not just the artwork.
Basically did anyone took better shot at this, because Pixel Dan's video doesn't shows shit.
>>10641307show what exactly?
>>10641343I can make out Masterverse NE Trapjaw and Movie Lyn, so I'm guessing the other Masterverse are on the table too.
>>10641343Cardback to Cartoon Collection toys.
Q: Is Orko compatible with other figures? Meaning you can in theory attach him to a pair of legs or attach somebody's torso to his stand?
>>10642574I don't think so. I've only seen one review where they did that, putting Orko on He-Man legs, and he appeared to just loosely sit there, not snapped in secure.
when he
>>10639641>Are they shipping in alphabetical order?Nope, my first and last name start with R so unless yours start with Z..
Mer-Man's first day of baby sitting isn't going well.
>>10643547HAHA!
"Brr Stibidi Dop Dop Dop Dop DopYes Yes Yes Yes Shtib Shtibidi Dip Dibidi"
Lady Slither 's dagger looks phallic...
>>10644350
>>10644357Oh okay, from this end. I was worried.
>>10644259Is this Ghoulies or Hard Ticket to Hawaii?
>>10643547Lol
Check your TRUs, leaflanders. I just saw a slew of Slush Heads in the wild. Dunno if it's just mine or if he's popping up all over the country
>>10644357
>>10644920
>>10636503Honestly, the comedy version of King Hiss being like ten normal snakes in a trenchcoat who have somehow convinced everyone that they're in charge, it makes me want to buy him. (sold out sadly)
>>10645086
>>10645321Hot. Now we need a Evil-Lyn and Teela face to lick her face!
>>10644357>>10644920>>10645086>>10645321Ctg is drinking early today lol
>>10640460I'm so jealous of that LOP Beast Man.
>>10645321oh no I hope she's immune to venom!
>>10644770>Check your TRUs, leaflandersThanks, have any other Canucks heard where/when were supposed to find Moss Man yet?
>>10645516A protein drink.
>>10644500 Aids Snek. (I love you man.)
>>10642881>when heAfter they, not before
>>10646825>Terroar before Multi-BotYeah, that'd be my luck.
So I went to Target looking for the GI Joe Classified Series Shadow Tracker, and all they had was a bunch of Tigerforce Dusties that are going to be clearance bin fodder. Surprisingly though I found Whiplash on clearance. I am new to MOTU collecting and only have a couple figures but this guy really stood out to me because I love that classic Orc look he has.I was curious, is it a MOTU faux pas to use Whiplash as an army builder? They had one more and I was tempted to pick up both but I decided to hold off for now, especially since I was picking up my Target's last Fisto too, and I didn't want to blow all my toy money for the rest of the month on one trip.
>>10630264
>>10647495>is it a MOTU faux pas to use Whiplash as an army builderNaw, it's fine.I dunno about how anyone else feels, but I think Whiplash has the most "generic" energy out of all Skeletor's named henchmen...the only one that might possibly give him a run for his money is Ninjor.
>>10647495There is a race of them so its likely they have an army
>>10647495it's your toy, you can do whatever you want. Just swap some parts around or some alterations and you got some new characters.
>>10647526Fans use a lot of guys as army biluilders (like Rattlor) but yeah Whippy with his lack of clothes, troll look, simple colors and generic spear as a weapon really feels like something you kill to grind for XP.
I've heard people say Classics heads can fit on Origins neck pegs if you heat them. Is this true?And if you can fit a Classics head on an Origins body, will it actually be able to move, or will it he too tight? Will the head look out of place on the Origins buck, like sitting too high on the neck or something?Thinking of doing a kitbash, but if the heads won't fit, it's not worth buying thr Classics I'll need
>>10648286you can always make it fit with sanding (hole too small) and sticky tack (hole too big). muh scale will be off. so if you cry about that; you can't really mix and match
>>10648292If I was going to cry about scale, I wouldn't be asking in the first place. I'm only concerned with will it fit, will it still be able to turn and articulate if I do make it fit, and will it sit awkwardly on the buck (like, as I said, if it sits too high on the neck)I don't think Classics heads are that much bigger than Origins heads anyway, and most Origins figures have oversized heads anyway
>>10647495Dammit anon, I don't wanna drive to target....
>>10648388It's very YMMV... I've been to 12 in the last two days. None of them had MV on clearance when scanning, some had the reg Joes on clearance, exclusive Python CG was but not Dusty... fucking mess between stores. Oh but everyone had the Cobra Kai figs marked because every store was missing the Putty figure suddenly
>>10647495>Clearance Shadow Weaver wave a few weeks after getting it in.>Clearance next wave before most people even get it.>Still have that fucking naked Stratos and Jitsu wave at full price, and just put out the Battle Armor deluxes for full priceWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
>>10648774I wonder the same thing anon, it's like mattel or retail is sabotaging the line.
>>10647495Why are they going on clearance so fast? I just got this one like a month ago
>>10649280I have no idea. I went back to Target today and grabbed the other one though, so at least they both have a home now.
>>10649280New stuff for christmas reset. Target has some deal with mattel because the WWE figures go on sale constantly and gets refreshed same with JP stuff. I got most of my amber collection on clearances. not sure what's going on with origins though. They use to be good at putting the new waves out but once the Pig Face and 200X wave, they haven't put any origins figures on pegs.
>>10648403It's just the drive for me, the only one near by is like a 40 min round trip. I've been wanting to check there anyway so maybe I'll go by this week. I'd love a new masterverse figure, or a spate pp trooper, a wwe elite wouldn't hurt my feelings. Just so long as the trip wasn't a total bust.
>>10649381>plays CoDwow, my brain is all over the place[spoiler]fuck, karma got me straight away[/spoiler]>>10649379>plays with He-Man toys
>>10636326I'd actually be okay with this since it would give my wallet a bit of a breather between each drop, especially when you consider they're all going to be way overpriced.
>>10649280>>10649287>>10649289I should also mention, when I went to pick up the first Whiplash they had one of those shelf cart things out with a two Snake Mountain boxes on it. They were huge.As much as I'd love to finally own Castle Grayskull after 30 years of not having it, I can't really bring myself to given that the only figures I own right now are 7" scale, and Super 7's Grayskull has been out of produciton for years. Even when it was new $300 would be a hard ask for me.
Bit out of left field but I'd say it's better than the previous artist collaborations https://creations.mattel.com/products/masters-of-the-universe-skeletor-x-veefriends-skilled-skeleton-2-pack-hrl14
>>10650122>>10650128Oh no, it's awesome!
>>10650128Please oh please let the new Filmation Origins Skeletor have these faceplates.I like it, but not enough for $50.
>>10650122I was there until the $50 price tag
>>10650128The faces everyone wants locked in with some Funko thing
>Artist collab >Artist asked for Skeletor to have these faces >Only exisit because of that >>>10650296
>>10650128Kinda neat really. Hopefully it sells out so I'm not tempted
Am I the only one who doesn't like the new body buck? I think I might be skipping this line entirely.Actually, I'd really like the Origins I have to be my He-Man figures forever. They seem sturdy enough to last for a long time, and I'd like to grow attached to these guys over the years instead of just buying the new Skeletor and He-Man each year.
>>10650967>instead of just buying the new Skeletor and He-Man each yearI doubt anybody was planning on this anyway. Personally I find moving actual vintage roster into exclusives and replacing the retail line with toonerbait kind of a dick move but wtf can you do
>>10651054It's a dick move, I mean, I can see why on matters part they'd do this. But as an ardent origins supporter through the bad and good its like a slap to the hand. I'll give it a chance but I'm afraid mattel just killed my interest.
>>10651109matters>mattels
>>10651109>>10651054Not like it wasn't an online exclusive already, but fuck tooners. I'm counting on you TF fags to bring that mind set over to this general.
>>10651113>I need my toys to look exactly like a poorly animated half hour commercial from the 80s.It infects nearly every nostalgiabait toyline that had a cartoon in the 80s. It ruined Masterpiece Transformers which used to be a nice blend of cartoon, package art and vintage toy. The animated Turtles line has similar issues with April's disproportionate neck that is cartoon accurate for a fraction of her screen time. Thankfully she's an easy fix.That said, I do prefer animated Merman's head over the vintage toy. But I think the LOP Origins figure is better than both of them.
>>10651229Who could say no to that face!
>>10651306you make me want to go find mine and post silly shit
>>10651345Do it!
>>10651384>a mcdonald's stretch screamerextremely based.
>>10651229I mean, I can't blame people who think Shredder or She-Ra look better in cartoon design.In the end, the reason Origins releases figures in basically one to one is to satisfy people's nostalgia and to many cartoon is that.
>>10650967I agree with you. It looks shit. If they had at least continued to use the normal buck, they might have at least gotten me to buy 1 or 2 of the better cartoon OCs (assuming they get made) to flesh out my existing collection. But as is, I won't even buy those now. Even if I didn't hate the new buck and didn't hate the cartoon's aesthetic, I'm not starting over from scratch with a whole new collection. I wouldn't even hate on this as much if it was just a new subline like they've done previously. Like 1 or 2 Filmation figures paired with a couple regular figures in a wave. Filmation shit is actually WORSE than what most folks try to say Sun Man was. At least his crew only took 1 slot per wave and I could still get the likes of Clawful, Mantenna and Randor during his run. Filmation is taking all fucking slots and getting everything nor pandering to tooners shunted to fucking MC. Not even getting BBTS, EE or Amazon as options anymore.>>10651054>but wtf can you doStop support of Origins at retail completely. If they're not gonna sell stuff I want at retail, I'm not gonna buy what they do offer. >>10651113Yeah, but Mattel Creations online exclusivity is a different beast than BBTS, EE and whatever other shops you can get it from
>>10651306>>10651384Such a cutie!>>10651663>I can't blame people who think Shredder or She-Ra look better in cartoon designThat's totally reasonable and I agree, but should Shredder have a metallic helmet and armour, or be a flat grey? It was obviously supposed to be a "chrome dome" as the Turtles called him, but due to the limitations of animation at the time it was done with grey ink. That's my issue with being a slave to the cartoon designs. Like did we really need an Optimus Prime that takes over an hour to transform just so it could be perfectly on model to the cartoon which couldn't even stay on model half the time?Of course, Super7 do the same sort of thing but are slaves to the toy design and print Shredders eyebrows on his helmet ridge, but at least that is an alternate head and more of an Easter egg than anything.
>>10650128So is this Filmation Skeletor? I'm trying to decide if I want it or not. I don't really have a proper Origins Skeletor...never did find the "toy face" figure. And I want the opening jaw of that recent figure, but I don't know if they'll repaint it.
I noticed this at the bottom of the Veefriends page, so there's more to come between now and Oct 13. Granted, it's doesn't just say "product drops", so I don't think it's anything worth getting carried away over, but we could get another figure out of it
>>10640357Ditto, I didn't do it at the beginning cause I still have the fear of the gitd gimmick being ruined if I put it in water. Though I guess plastic gitd should not have that problem, that only happens to paint in the figure.
>>10651663>In the end, the reason Origins releases figures in basically one to one is to satisfy people's nostalgia and to many cartoon is that.Yeah, that's fair. It's not for everyone though, and I suspect Mattel and retailers who are sick of Origins but willing to put the Cartoon Collection on pegs will find the nostalgia well running dry.Personally the only thing remotely tempting me is the alt faces on that exclusive toon Skeletor.
>>10650122>>10650128>>10650298Ahh damn, I really, really like this but the price just made my pockets cry. Plus I don't think I'll even be able to be on time to order it.
>>10651671Funny thing is that I basically predicted those developments. I saw that they were runinng out of minicomic or 200X repaints or Sun-Man guys so I assumed that Filmation will dominate non-vintage part of Origins. I just didn't thought it will mean kicking out vintage to MC.But in the end, there is one most important question to me: at what rate we'll be getting vintages now. This is decide how I feel about this. Much faster? Much slower? So far we were getting more-less at least 10 per year meaning we should be finishing by end of 2025. But how things will look now?And yeah, I'm likely done with retail Origins.>>10651691Well but as you said, being slave to toy design might be as bad. That's why we have lines like Classics or Masteverse which have more creative freedom and don't just repeat slavishly.
>>10652095>being slave to toy design might be as bad.It is. Nobody wants headless Ironhide and Ratchet, or Megatron with his original trigger placement in robot mode. On second thought, maybe I do want well hung Megatron.But that's why I loved the Masterpiece Transformers from around MP-10. They were the perfect blend of toy, cartoon, and packaging illustration designs with involved Transformations that weren't engineering nightmares. But fans demanded more toon accuracy and ruined it.I like New Eternia for the same reason. I had most of the vintage figs growing up. I didn't want to collect the exact same thing again, but I've been sucked into Origins because of the Snakemen. Fuck I'm weak willed.
>>10652095Toy accuracy is a double edged sword.Buzz-off is more or less toy accurate and he's one of the best figures as a result...But then Leech is not completely toy accurate (with alt head) and he's also one of the best figures as a result.But then you reverse that, Kobra Khan (retail without the option of althead) is vintage accurate to the detriment of the figure and he sucks for it because they wouldn't make a necessary update...And the famous example of wave 1 He-Man sucking by NOT being vintage accurate (where wave 1 Skeletor actually pulled it off)
Found a duplico at work, wonder how long he stays on the peg.
>>10652163>still never seen this wave;_;
>>10652134I used to love misting myself with Kobra Khan on a hot day when I was a kid. The water always had a distinct sweet smell. I don't even care if it turns out he was carcinogenic. It was worth it.
So how do we feel about Revolution Scareglow having a metal fist that launches, Champ's clamp and extra legs that glow in the dark?
>>10652221That sounds very excessive. Are they doing that do that the heroes can "exorcise" Fisto and Clamp Champ from Scareglow and undo one of their giant fuck ups from Revelation?
>>10650296Nah, the mini skellie has articulation and swappable hands, he's already leagues better than fuknos.
>>10652230>That sounds very excessive. Are they doing that do that the heroes can "exorcise" Fisto and Clamp Champ from Scareglow and undo one of their giant fuck ups from Revelation?Yes indeed.
>>10652221Lmao, give me an alternate Scare Glow broken face
>>10652221>and extra legs that glow in the darkReally? That's kind of cool but a Revolution Scare Glow should've been chosen as that's his gimmick.
