Why be excited for this. This is just using creations site with a fee. What is the difference of them offering a figure on there regularly like Rio blast, and then offering a figure like he-ro to buy on the same site but with a fee you had to pay in advance? They are offering nothing different other than putting figuers behind a pay wall. Voting? They proved that was a scam. Oh boy, you can talk to other people who spent the 10 bucks, guess what? We can do that here. You can buy mod shits, bags mugs, guess what? You can do that now, and no one wants it.
They really need to come out and say how it works and what you get from this. Not the “ITS HERE” and nothing. Whats here, no one asked for this? There is no difference in what we get now. So how desperate are they if they need to ask each of us for 10 bucks, its odd. Just raise figures up 5 or 10 bucks. They need to make up money for shitty snake lair proto? How much would they actually make from this. If the figures aren’t selling out anymore, i guess not to much.
They have a movie coming out, they should be advertising (real advertising, not the goofs who get them for free on youtube) all over the place for their merch. Get people excited. Look at these updated retro figures we have, remember them?, well we have a movie coming out. Think if kids see this stuff and want it, then parents look at site and say nope, you have to pay for a membership, why cant these be in stores.
I just had delivery guys in the house last week. And they seen my collection, and we started talking. The one guy was into batman, and other guy loved motu as a kid. At first he thought it was all original stuff. Then quickly got disappointed that he never knew that they did the origins line and its too late to get into it. Those are the people you need to go after, not the regular and beg 10 bucks from. Mattel, your loser friend who needs to borrow 10 bucks for smokes.
And if you really are excited for this, go to a monster high board or reddit, and see how excited you will be.
Thought about it and honestly, I am out. Origins has been such a pain to collect these past 1-2 years - particularily as an international collector who has to pay a pretty hefty "tax" in form of international FedEx shipping. Additionally putting that behind a (albeit small) pay wall just feels plain wrong. What's the f'ing point, I wonder. Mattel keeps making it more annoying to buy their stuff, I really don't get it. They are probably paranoid that some internet conspiracy highjacked their questionnaire about that ill-conceived Snake lair set evidently no one wanted. And the best solution they could come up with is making their fans pay an extra 10 bucks for the privilige of giving Mattel their money. If that is your worry, limit voting/feedback access to accounts that actually ordered a figure from you, problem solved.
Here is hoping Loyal Subjects does a good job with their MASK relaunch; that's where I'll be taking my money moving forward.
It may not be for everyone but I'm more than happy to pay about 83 cents a month for access to exclusive figures and whatever else they offer. I like being able to vote on character/vehicle/playset polls and if priority sale access helps me get a figure like Origins Two Bad who could sell out quickly, then that's awesome. Would it be great to get the figures and everything else without a $9.99 fee? Sure it would. But having something like this may be an avenue to get certain obscure characters like Keclar, Tug-O-War, and others who might not be made otherwise. If so, that's well worth the price for me.

I'd have bought all of these but somehow they've made Lion-O yellow and not even consistent with his team! So far I only need He-Man for parts.

Cartoon Collection looks good, but those Masterverse are gonna peg warm hard. Wtf are they thinking with that line? 😣
I know it's the anniversary, but is that supposed to be like a live action She-Ra or something? I'm not quite getting it.https://toynewsi.com/241-56817

While I really like that they've upgraded the back of the Zone the front looks kinda cheap... the creature I'd have preferred to have been a sculpted piece, his large neck sitting flat instead of him looking way too small for the gap!
Is it me or do the vines look like bendy wire? Hope so.
Plussed up retro leads by the look of it
@sketchyskeletor LOL! 5 POA in 2025 - are they stealing a page from Super7's playbook? Lame.

They're really shocking, aren't they? Like if you are going old school put out the old figures with the half painted boots and the wrist guard. Or cardback versions. Not ones with countless influences but on a buck from the 80s. That's some Hasbro shit. Though that isn't surprising I suppose, look at the desperation in Masterverse.
Ah, the Fright Zone was revealed, looks to hit the mark for me. I will say that I am not super excited by the monster. I mean, turning the puppet into an actual figure is a good idea, but what they came up with here looks a little..odd. I always imagined the monster as a giant snake. Not a spindly legged gecko.

It's basically an upscaled Moaty, and by the look of it, not upscaled enough! We'll find out on the 6th I guess!

The descriptions there are interesting, are we to assume that the 2 pack is some attempt at representing the Star/Marvel comics? Even that's a stretch...
Edit - especially at 45 bucks, sheesh.
Fright Zone...
They gave the creature an actual body with six legs... hmmm, I dig it.
However, I would have loved an updated sock-puppet type creature as well... maybe included alongside the figure.
Also, I wish that Mattel combined the Slime Pit with this playset. I always imagined them being a part of the same freakish area of the Fright Zone.
