@disneyboy 

Stay tough DB... Mattel is running out of vintage options from the MOTU waves, so PoP (hopefully) is their next stop.

It sounds silly, but I'd actually like the crossover lines to continue with the PoP brand... maybe a PoP x Jem line?

Or, even better, a Princess of Power x Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones sub line!

@ornclown maybe the MOTU x Transformers could become a line like the GI Joe x Transformers line.

Hasbro struggle with even small wheels so I'm thinking Attak Trak lol.

@sketchyskeletor whatever hasbro does with the crossover, I hope it's not MOTU characters turning into Transformers. I want an alternate reality where the Transformers crash on Eternia and they have Eternian alt modes or a story similar to ToG where the Transformers go to Eternia.

  2. Ninjor
  3. Orko
  4. Fisto
  5. Jitsu
  6. Kobra Khan
  7. Spikor

13 did not have a gimmick in the vintage line.
  1. Beast Man
  2. He-Man
  3. Hordak
  4. Man-at-Arms
  5. Mer-Man
  6. She-Ra
  7. Skeletor
  8. Stratos
  9. Teela
  10. Zodac
  11. Faker
  12. King Randor
  13. Whiplash
 
10 had their gimmick changed or they only got one of two gimmicks they had before.
  1. Clamp Champ
  2. Ram Man
  3. Mantena
  4. Leech
  5. Ratlor
  6. He-Man, Thunder Punch
  7. King Hiss
  8. Extendar
  9. Sy-Klon
  10. Sorceress
 
25 have the same gimmick
  1. Man-E-Faces
  2. Roboto
  3. Scare Glow
  4. Trap Jaw
  5. Tri-Klops
  6. Stinkor
  7. Webstor
  8. He-Man, Battle Armor
  9. Hordak, Buzz Saw
  10. Mosquitor
  11. Skeletor, Battle Armor
  12. Clawful
  13. Horde Trooper
  14. Grizlor
  15. Skeletor, Terror Claws
  16. Snout Spout
  17. Zoar & Teela
  18. Sssqueeze
  19. Moss Man
  20. Skeletor, Dragon Blaster
  21. Screech & Skeletor
  22. Rio Blast
  23. Modulok
  24. Buzz-Off
  25. He-Man, Flying Fists

 

I was mostly going by memory so if you see any mistakes let me know.

Flying Fists He-Man kept his gimmick. 

Also, what gimmick did Vintage Evil-Lyn have?

Looks like i let Flying Fists He-Man off the list completely. 

Evil-Lyn had a glow in the dark wand.

Just FYI, the Elite Horde Hover Bot stand fits Orko too if you wanna lessen his shelf footprint.

So, what are the chances we'll see NA characters in Origins? Aside from Jetlag He-Man as part of that silly 4-pack, there's been no representation at all, which is pathetic 5 years into the line, yet we got all 10 Sun Man characters 😆 

In Masterverse they released 3 NA guys, but nothing for a long time now.

And they need to rerelease NA He-Man in Masterverse, probably Skeletor too.

@durendal I hope we get some in Origins, or at least more in Masterverse!

@durendal it's a question of what healthier for the brand. Mix different eras of the brand or do as much as possible from one before moving on to the next. Mattel seems to think they should do one at a time. I hope they do move on to POP VC after they finish MOTU VC then NA VC or CC. I don't care how they do NA as long as we get Battle Blade Skeletor.

@smitty-81 I dunno man, if Mattel were to concentrate on releasing a lot of NA characters in succession, I think a lot of fans would jump off...

In an ideal world (in my terms), drop altogether or rebrand New Eternia for things like cartoons, and since we've only got three figures per wave now make them 

 

Vintage

PoP

NA

 

Realistically New Eternia is what's doing the damage.

Toyhabits is reporting that the Sy-Klone Spikor sketchbook figures are confirmed from a retailer listing. And then to keep you scrolling they go over some other possible sketchbook figures.
https://toyhabits.com/future-motu-origins-sketch-book-series-figures-part-1

I'll post some here so you don't have to go to their site if you don't want to.

Mech-a-Neck
?resize=675%2C1200&ssl=1

Extendar
?resize=675%2C1200&ssl=1

Kobra Khan (Snake-Man)
?resize=675%2C1200&ssl=1

Early "Skeletor" and Vykron
?w=2000&ssl=1

Personally I'd like to get what we got from Masterverse Vykron in Origins, and the early "Skeletor" the rest I can pass on.

@durendal As much as I love New Adventures, I agree. It's one of those factions that need to be sprinkled into waves.

WANTED IN MASTERVERSE:
Masks of Power Demons, Prince Dakon, Kobolds, Demons (The Terror of Tri-Klops!), Lodar, New Eternia Ninjor, New Eternia Dragon Blaster Skeletor, Lizorr, Hoove, '87 Movie Man-At-Arms, '87 Movie Skeletor Trooper.

So, a thought about Blade, what if they used the Flying Fists gimmick for him rather than his original "Fisto" arm? He's probably going to get a name change too.

Hoping he has a gimmick but I'm really not expecting one.

For those who have the Cartoon Collection Catra, does her red MOTUC mask fit on her head nicely?

That one at least looks correct in the "up" position she's most often seen in. The CC one only looks okay in the "down" position and looks too small when sitting on her forehead.
