I just want Bashasaurus.

I want all the vintage vehicles, plus concept vehicles that were never made. Really frustrated by the glacial pace, but hey, if Mattel doesn't want my guaranteed money, there are many other toy lines that will get it instead  

@durendal again, when they stated they would complete the vintage line they never specified if that included vehicles. To us “complete” means everything.

@brasco they've said many time that they plan on completing the vintage figures.

@smitty-81 id feel better if they actually said it included vehicles. That’s why I’m skeptical

I wouldn't hold my breath on the vehicles. I'll eat my hat if we get an Origins Fright Fighter or Laser Bolt.

Thing is Laser Bolt is relatively simplistic. And there's loads of ways to make vehicles work like packing in a figure or making a bundle of them. Nobody dreamed we'd get a Collector.

To be fair, the Collector to mee seems like a very deliberate attempt to get people to switch over to the Cartoon Collection. Which is obviously where Mattel sees the future of the line. Vintage Origins is probably more of a "burden" at this point, seeing how very un-enthusiastic the timetable has become. 

I will admit, I was very very tempted to start the Cartoon Collection, but I just couldn't bring myself to collect Masterverse NE, "vintage" Origins and CC in parallel. At some point it just is...enough 😀

I'd agree but then we got that expensive MV Skeletor set too and that line has been running for years. And here in the UK at least the Collector sold out just about everywhere. It's worth noting that the vehicles mostly aren't that complicated and if they know they're doing a limited run... or do them made to order.

Wait until they flood the cartoon line with Snakemen. I dont know whats up with Mattel’s hard on for snakemen. 

@banthafett Well luckily there were hardly any Snake Men in Filmation - only Rattlor and Tung Lashor appeared.

@durendal mattel seems to make up their own rules when it comes to snakemen. It will be a line called, “ the cartoon line of episodes you didnt know existed “

@banthafett I'd buy a Faker from that sub-line.

And Kobra Khan if we're actually counting him. The show didn't know or didn't care what was happening with the toys lol.

I always thought Filmation Tung Lashor looked weird even by Filmation standards!

A look at the back packaging artwork for the upcoming Masters of the Universe: Origins MODULOK action figure by artists Axel Gimenez and David de la Cal Alonso 🎨 (and courtesy of packaging designer Roy Juarez).

Nice to see some She-Ra characters back on the artwork, albeit a She-Ra missing her tiara and holding a blaster instead of her sword.

But who the heck are those scorpion people and why do I feel we'll see them in the line before my boy Dragstor?

Recently, at Mattel HQ

PR: Right, guys, please tell me we are done with Snakemen. People are getting annoyed!

Product manager: Oh, totally, no more Snakemen, I promise. On an unrelated note, have you met the ...Scorpion people *mad cackle*

I'm all for new characters, and these 2 guys look pretty cool, but c'mon - we're still a long way from even finishing the remaining vintage characters at the glacial pace they're going at, and on top of that, there are still a lot of new characters that were shown on box art going back 4 years now without a sign of them getting a figure (purple cyclops anyone???). What's the point in continually adding new ones that are prominent in official art if there's no intention of even releasing ones that were previously shown?? It's just cruel blue-balling of the fandom.

@durendal The same way Classics fans were blue balled over mini-comics Tri-Klops appearing on the back of the Power-con Trap Jaw/Prince Adam/Stratos 3-pack release ... we'd been waiting years for that in Classics and Mattel gave it to us in Origins ... with a MOTUC glow-in-the-dark warrior ring, no less.
