A two-headed evil warrior is coming to this year's San Diego International Comic-Con! Mattel has just announced one of their exclusive offerings that will be made available at the San Diego International Comic-Con 2024 next month: The Masters of the Universe: Origins "Cartoon Collection" Two Bad combo set! Featuring individual figures of both Tuvar and Baddrah, this combo set includes an extra body component to merge both villians into one being! Tuvar and Baddrah come with the ancient Mirror of Avathar, specialty packaging and will include a double-sided mini-comic! Official Details Update: Ready for a real double header? Finally, the…
We have the Power! 
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cartoon Collection is what I collect! I am so happy. I hope they make a Panthor next!
I'm here for the Cartoon Collection Two Bad! Is Mattel adding new modularity to the CC? It seems like we might start being able to remove their legs now and that would be awesome!
This is an epic release! I’m not really collecting CC but I will be getting this. They solved the “merging” in the best and simplest way! Packaging design is top notch as usual!
Two-Bad has always been one of my absolute favorite characters in MOTU. I’m ok getting him as CC first, since the vintage version will probably be not a combining set.
It seems like we might start being able to remove their legs now and that would be awesome!
I'm curious about the leg swapping myself. I'm not sure they'll make it a permanent feature going forward or if just this set will have the ability to remove the legs or if they'll include instructions telling us to heat up the legs to remove them.

I don't remember seeing Tuvar & Baddrah separated in the old cartoon.
Because they weren't, which makes this a rather strange choice by Mattel, unless it's their odd way of demonstrating that they intend to make Filmation figures of characters that never actually appeared in Filmation, which I've mentioned here in the past as a possibility.
I really hope they also make an additional set in VC where you can combine Tuvar and Baddrah into Two-Bad, but I have a feeling they'll cheap out on that one...
Also, while it's great that they've added a swappable leg feature, it's also frustrating that they've only done so a full 4 years into the line, after they've already released what, at least a hundred figures? Will they use that as an excuse to start releasing "updated" versions of all the figures we already have?? 
I really don't think it's fair how people say I complain too much when the toy companies keep doing this shit. I mean really? They release a Cartoon Collection Two-Bad when we still don't have him in the Vintage Collection? They've been teasing this character for years now & we still don't have him. I thought the 2024 SDCC Two-Bad was going to be Vintage Collection. This is some of the DUMBEST FUCKING BULLSHIT I have ever seen.
But I complain too much! I'm the "bad guy" here. 🙄
With that out of my system, are we still going to get a Vintage Collection Two-Bad? Do I buy this piece of crap just to make sure I have some kind of representation of this character in my Origins collection? Even if Mattel says they will make a Vintage version, now when will it be released? 2025? 2026? 3087??? And will the Vintage version have the same split figure feature?
See? THIS is exactly why I wanted them to finish the Vintage Collection first. So this shit wouldn't happen & I could put this behind me & move on with my life. I could've had this fucking collection COMPLETED by now if Mattel would just stop this dumbfuckery.
There shouldn't even be a "Cartoon Collection". The cartoon should have looked like the toys we played with. I'll never understand why Filmation felt the need to change things so drastically. Especially making Clawful look exactly like a Snakeman.

Do you legit not understand why he looks the way he did? Or is this more of an "angry at the reality we all experience" thing? I need to know if I should just give you space or post a link to the Battle Ram Blog.

Who? Two-Bad or Clawful?
I don't know why they changed the characters so much & it doesn't really matter. I hate all the changes. They ruined Clawful & my favorite character Spikor. The way I see it, there is no way in hell they would mess with He-Man, Skeletor, Teela or Man-At-Arms like that so they didn't need to mess with any of the characters.
@sci-fitsunami Hyperbolic rant aside, it may seem like "dumbassery" to you that Mattel does things like this, but that's exactly how they keep their greedy, filthy claws (dicks?) in us, and we all know it. The harsh truth is that it's not in their interest to cater to the wishes of diehards of "vintage, and VINTAGE ONLY!!!!" who loudly moan about how intensely eager they are to stop collecting MOTU and move on to something else. No, their interest is to keep as many of us hooked for as long as possible like the MOTU-crack addicts that we are. So, they'll be more than content to pad out the remaining VC characters, while offering plenty of alternative styled MOTU products in between that they know you'll be tempted to buy even as nothing more than placeholders because they'll keep you guessing as to when, or even if, they'll ever get around to releasing the stuff that you actually want. And to make the cruelty complete, they simply won't provide any explanations or answer any fan questions to boot, ultimately keeping us fans totally in the dark as to their intentions. What better way than to keep us buying everything in sight out of panic that if we don't, MOTU will disappear again and our collections will be forever incomplete.
And so the torturous cycle continues...

I can understand hating changes like Clawful but I don't think that one was Filmation's fault. A lot of the characters in that show were drawn before the toys were decided upon. Some of their character designs were pure gold like He-Man and Skeletor. I don't know how anyone can complain with those.

If you like Orko you can thank the Filmation cartoon.

I think this qualifies as a rant too. I'm not complaining though. Shit, I come here for the rants. Bring em on!
