Was able to pre-order everything except for cartoon Whiplash and Bow and Thundercats Tygra, He-Man and Panthro.

Same, I wonder if anybody was able to order those. 

@grayskullguardsman @deep76 I don't think any of this were up for pre-order, yet. Amazon may have listed them, but EE & BBTS don't have them listed.

@smitty-81 It's a real shame that at this stage, vehicles prove to be much more questionable regarding their potential releases than they were much earlier...

@onlyoneskeletor the only reason I think will get an SB Two-Bad is because mattel wants to reuse that torso as much as possible.

A MOTU x Sonic crossover is just a terrible, TERRIBLE idea. Just no. Never. My god - just proposing it alone is asinine.

 

I do really want a Negator CC figure though! C'mon Mattel - he was a memorable villain who appeared in 2 episodes and has never gotten a figure. Make it happen.

I want the Game Master lol.

And I still want a cartoon accurate Count Marzo...

@grayskullguardsman I don't think they're listed anywhere.

In the case of Panthro and Tygra, Mattel might be holding them for wave 2 of the TC x MOTU line...

Hard pass.

@smitty-81 Wait, didn't you make this reply to another user?

@sketchyskeletor it's not an attitude. I'm calling you out. You literally came here just to dump on.It's something that people actually like.

At least explain why you pass on this figure.

I have wanted Marzo since I was 8 years old.

I want a CC Game Master and I want a CC Marzo!

@ornclown that's fair. Filmation Marzo is a fantastic villain. It's a drug dealer and possibly a cho-mo, always out for himself. But he dressed like a dork. His look is so boring compared to almost anyone else in all of MOTU.

Yeah, he is definitely a dork! But, I think that's what makes him so unique.

He is almost like a Shakespearean stage actor, lol!

Although, as far as badguys go, Marzo makes a pretty convincing villain.

I would love a CC Count Marzo. I was bummed we didn’t get one in Classics. 

So I just got Buzzsaw Hordak. He's a great figure but still may get normal Hordak one day because there are a few design aspects I think are superior, mainly the chest symbol and cleaner back. @Smitty-81 gave me the good suggestion of combining the two into the perfect Origins Hordak for me when I kinda don't do the whole swapping parts gimmick for Origins but this'll be an exception for me.

Saw all of him in She-Ra '18 (Entrapdak forever) but to be real I haven't been exposed much to Filmation Hordak yet, only the Secret of Sword movie. I'm still a blooming MOTU fan okay! 😩 Still wanna watch a bunch more Filmation He-Man before moving onto their She-Ra. 

I am bringing up this because on the surface level, as a lifelong Toy Story fan, he gives off real Evil Emperor Zurg vibes.

Also a question I have for you guys? Does anyone know any good Origins figure stands for sale?

Most of my figures stand on top of my clothes dresser 'cuz my various shelves are dedicated to figures of other franchises and needless to say one or a lot keep toppling over whenever I bump into it. I do have a ton of small figure stands, but they work with smaller figure lines I own like Star Wars Vintage Collection and Jakks Pacific Sonic.

Origins figures obviously have larger peg holes. I'm sure there are some good stand sets for them. Could I please have any good recommendations if you have any?

I'm just a new guy to these forums who tries to be nice and reasonable when it comes to discussion and debates.

Anyone think a CC Lizard Man is inevitable?

I know they're releasing a CC Whiplash (the character who he basically was the prototype of), but I mean really the one or two episodes out of the three he appears him with how they're written makes him feel like a prominent recurring character on the level of Ram Man you can 100% tell was supposed to have a figure in the 80s.

His first appearance is in the 5th episode of Filmation before many of the iconic recurring heroic warriors which must mean something.

I know he eventually did a figure.........32 years after the fact.

Taking a closer look at Masters of the Universe: Origins "Cartoon Collection" WHIPLASH Action Figure that is coming out later this year.

@admin I sure hope that's not the final figure because that just ain't it lol.

Yup, handy comparison 

@slycooperastroboy51 i don't think anybody in these forums has anything personal against Sonic, the Hedgehog. It's just not a good fit with masters of the universe The two franchises don't have a whole lot in common other than basic character archetypes. And the type of storytelling done in video games versus cartoons and comics is very, very different, which is why most video game adaptations, whether they be tv shows, movies or comics aren't really that good.

There probably are exceptions for video games that would work better with Masters of the Universe.But yeah, that's not really worth discussing at this time. Sonic is a great game. And the shows are very popular, but they just don't work with Masters of the Universe.

okay I’ll admit I’m new to these forums, shared my cool idea for a crossover, some of you had fair counter arguments for why it really wouldn’t work but someone framed it as if it was the worst idea ever and I just got slightly ticked off. I’m a nice guy and tried to respond in a civil manner other than a last sentence snark.

The subject of He-Hedghog is over in this forum now…….

 

but Shadow vs. Hordak……. that would be kicka- SORRY! SORRY! Last time I swear. 😅

 

That being said I do have an idea for another MOTU crossover comic. One that’s one of those rare weird outlandish joke crossovers akin to Archie/Punisher, Spider-Man/Ren and Stimpy, My Little Pony/Transformers and the many, many, many Scooby-Doo ones. But y’all ain’t ready to hear it. Would require a bit of a lengthy explanation. Again y’all ain’t ready to hear it. 😉

Sorry I was typing this on my phone and complications with trying to copy and paste these things. 😅

@slycooperastroboy51 the thing with crossovers is you don't necessarily need corresponding characters, but that probably happens naturally anyways. What you need is two unique types of story that can fit together somehow. The ninja turtle crossover is a perfect example. They don't really fit together. They're not similar in a whole lot of ways, but the idea of the turtles traveling through time and space and other dimensions isn't unusual and the idea of people coming from other people, worlds and realities to masters of the universe also isn't unusual. When you put the bad guys together and they become friends and start sharing notes, you get all these crazy ideas like mutant He-Man and Megator Krang.

I might be biased, but I think Masters of the Universe and Transformers would make for a good crossover, you could do a retelling of the original Transformers story where they crashed land on Eternia instead of Earth and take on forms of Eternian animals and vehicles and tell a story from there. As the story goes on and you have Megatron, trying to make eneergon cubes out of ha'voc and end up with crazy powerful Decepticons that Skeletor can somehow control...

I could go on, but I don't want to derail this thread any further.

@smitty-81 yeah as a huge Transformers fan also that sounds amazing and probably quite inevitable due to a few recent Mattel-Hasbro collabs like the Hot wheels Optimus

ALRIGHT! I think that’s crossover talk in this forum for a while.
