@onlyoneskeletor I was wondering if it could be Choloh as well, but Axel's design is better.

@durendal Haha! Tell me, would you honestly snub this character if it were released as is? Personally, I tend to find this kind of creation irresistibly valid. Smarter versions of well-known characters, in a way. Besides, since it requires more than 90% of the existing tools, added to this brand philosophy so far, the odds seem pretty good. 😉

@mighty-thanos Miro being bald doesn't automatically mean Randor (or Adam) will be. Baldness is passed on through the mother, so if Randor's grandfather on his mother's side (do we even know the name of that character?) wasn't bald, then he won't be.

Could be he shaved his noggin. Maybe he wanted to look more "hard boiled". LOL (eh. Sorry)

The queen likes the feel of stubble. That's my head canon.  

@mighty-thanos LOL. That's it!

Would anyone else be interested in a weapons pack? 

@thedoctor absolutely bro

Found NE Fisto and Lyn at Walmart yesterday morning. A totally unexpected and welcome find.

Don't know if anyone else has tried it but some of the NE heads work on the Horde Trooper body.

@abaddon we all hit a wall and go my gods what have I done and take a break. Alas we get sucked back in generally then have to play catch up. I’m on my no buy phase. I have unopened boxes plus moving.

Not picking, but I cannot for the life of me see what comment I made that you're responding to! 😆 I agree with your points, though!

I'm currently in my 'buying way more than I should' phase! 😆

I'd love for some Classics weapons and accessories in different colours to be put in a weapons pack for Masterverse.

If you like MASTERVERSE, be sure to check out our "Year in Review" video ON YOUTUBE where we touch upon every Masters of the Universe: Masterverse figure released this year!

Been enjoying Masterverse New Eternia lately, they really hit their stride with the past 2-3 waves. 

I was a little surprised that Fisto was my least favorite figure this year, just because the idea with the full metal arm just doesn't work for me in practice. The articulation is severely hindered and I would have preferred a vintage-style sword instead of the sabre. 

But all in all, minor complaints. 

What also surprises me is that there isn't more information concerning upcoming waves. I think the only two figures I have on the radar still and that have not yet been released (here) are the Skelecon army builder and NE Roboto. I refuse to count the new Beastman, it just seems unnecessary to release yet another NE Beastman....

Makes me wonder what their plans are for 2025. Looking over my collection, there aren't that many "core" characters left that I feel are "must haves". I am getting a bit of a sense that Mattel is switching to a strategy with more lines that go a little less deep to keep product moving. Case in point, "Masterverse Vintage Collection". 

I guess we'll have to wait and see. 

@lasastard Lately, I'm leaning more and more towards that suspicion as well, fortunately I wasn't as impulsive this time around in slowly replacing my Motuc figures with their Masterverse counterparts. In a way, the moral of the story could be: "Don't put too much hope in the development of this brand as a whole. Which encourages me to gently back away as the excitement wanes year after year. It's already complicated to even expect to get back a few mounts and vintage vehicles via the Origins line and thus only barely cover what Classics could not reach to, but if we add the unlikely of refreshing the B - C characters' category, well, what the point in that?!

I stepped away from Masters stuff for a while due to a combination of factors.  I'm not happy with the new media and I was a Classics guy, and .org dying.  I really don't like the sculpting on the new smaller figures.  The Mondu stuff is great, but out of my price range.  I still don't understand why they killed classics outright.  I get putting it on the backburning as convention exclusives, but just ending it and making the new lines which have such inferior sculpting?  But I missed MOTU and I started looking looking again and found this site.  Some of the New Eternia figures look good and I ordered a couple off Ebay.  Are they planning on doing more characters in the future, or is this going to be a rehash line with mostly variants?  I would love to see the Great Black Wizard, or some SOH things, or more Pretenia.  

@zodacs-new-shoes A little of both. Masterverse is offering their first King Randor in the same wave they are offering their third Beast Man. Their first Skelcon is out too and soon we'll see another Skeletor. I lost count at what number we are at.

While I feel you about the Org and Classics, there is a big block of fans out there that have no attachment to either. Blame Netflix MotU and the new kidult craze. In 10 years if this site closes and Masterverse and Origins stop that will be the pain they feel. 

@onlyoneskeletor Mondo is going to price us out again with their 200X line. $80-100 is just too much for a 6 inch.

So I got Snout Spout for Christmas, and in grand Mattel tradition, his biceps parts are switched! I haven’t seen any discussion about this problem since his release. Did I get a lemon, or does every figure have this problem and we’re all so used to it that we stopped talking about it?

@sword-of-grayskull Ask for an exchange because mine doesn't have that problem.
