Sssomething is not right. When "Eternia’s Choice" winner, the Snake Lair playset, was selected by fans last year as the next large-scale Masters of the Universe item to go up for crowdfunding... many were surprised that the new Snake Lair playset revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con hardly resembled the actual art fans voted on. The fan disappointment seemed substantial, enough for Mattel to launch a surprising new survey five days ago asking (among other things) what Snake Lair features were fans the least excited about. (Lean more about that survey HERE.) It was a move that appeared irregular at…

The bait and switch offered by Mattel has not been appreciated

Mattel forgot the point of what the ORIGINS line is supposed to be. And it has bit them in the butt.

I love the playset! It will be unfortunate if it is altered to match a concept design or price point. Mattel should just move forward and let fans vote with their wallets. Fandom knows what happens when producers make knee-jerk reaction to online discourse.

@mrhootiedean I hear what you're saying but there's so much anecdotal evidence this crowdfund would bomb that Mattel took the unprecedented anywhere step of polling fans for hints. Go into any comment section on social media and the negative vastly outweighs the positive. 

Also, October 12th 2023 was when the fan vote result was announced, and here we are with a fully produced Lair that looks radically different to what fans voted on? In well under a year? That's beyond fishy.

How will I ever survive without Bone Lady Slither. Let it die. I'm tired of all the snake shit anyway.

I've collected the whole Origins line (except Eternia) and even I want them to give the Snakes a break. They're so bloody boring after 2 years and we're not even done! Just put them into packs and finish them altogether! But no, what if we put them into the ToG line...

Why did you pass on Eternia?
