@slycooperastroboy51 no, they've actually managed to keep a lot of Earth pop culture influences out of Masters of the Universe, as I think they should.

The thing is I do like the new head, it's just not Hordak, just like sketch series Hordak isn't really Hordak to me.

The only reason I will buy this is for that new head. Well played, Mattel. 

Me too.

@grayskullguardsman am I the only one that likes Huricane Hordak?

I think Kraken likes the original or he doesn't think it's silly at least. I like the original too but my focus is the cartoon collection but that new head is neat looking.

1. He’s okay. I have his Classics version. I just only buy Origins if I can fit characters or pieces into Classics or Masterverse. That new head would be great to have for other Hordaks!!!

You know what? I don't get for months. I've been seeing people say that Mattel needs to hurry up and finch the Vintage Collection.Where's the actual vintage collection figures?

Now, here's an actual Vintage Collection figure, a toy that was in the vintage line, and what did my reading? "I only want him for the head."

I don't get you people.

Dude I'm in without the extra head but who cares why they are buying it as long as people buy it and Mattel makes more. Damn it Mattel I need my vintage Two Bad already!

I bring this up because I think one of these new types of characters should be a punk rocker warrior, preferably on Skeletor's side. They haven't done a character like that have they?

In the MOTU Classics comics, they had Skeletor's son Skeleteen who had a punk aesthetic. He was based on concept art for an unrealized MOTU show.

@chrisa Okay, as a still blooming MOTU fan, Skeleteen and Skeletor having a son in general just sounds lame. 

I now him and Lyn have things for each other in certain incarnations, but he doesn't seem like the type of villain to me who would want a future heritage.

From what I read he had a wife and daughter who were killed in a Revelation prequel comic am I not correct? If that's the case I guess that works because it's part of a villain's obligatory tragic backstory.

Here is a picture of Skeleteen... which, I personally think is pretty cool.

I really wish we had gotten a figure of him.

@ornclown k I will admit the design looks cool

That's both correct and wrong. Watch the show.

Gimmick has been modified!

Ooo, look at those box art teases - Dragstor, Despara, FILMATION FRIGHT ZONE (!!!) and those 2 new scorpion-style unnamed characters again that previously appeared on Modulok's box.

Smitty 81 is right it is not a straight answer. Read the Revelation prequel comics then watch Revelation and then watch Revolution. It will all make sense honey.

Huricane Hordak now on the US site.

Okay I'll be the one to come out and explain it to you. Those turned out to be false memories Hordak planted in his mind. Giving him a fake backstory to remember instead of his true origin as Keldor.

@lordofdestruction dude! Not cool.

@lordofdestruction 'K thanks. I'm not one to read comics unless it's Skybound's new amazing Transformers series and classic Osamu Tezuka manga that never gets enough recognition in the west. What? You knew I was a Tezuka fanboy? How could you tell?

IF true this is presumably how the cartoon collection continues past the 80s. IF that's the case, I'd be more hopeful for NA then.

"According to an anonymous source..." says Toyhabits. Granted their anonymous source is usually good. I don't like that they skipped over NA to move right in to 200X but maybe NA will be what replaces the VC on MC.
