Fine by me.
Let's do this!
The cartoon/filmation will be in brick & motar stores with origins online in 2024 right?
So, if that is the case who will be seeing online first and when?
Wasn’t it January? With the first wave at least. I can’t remember. I have them all preordered but will pick up extras if I see them in stores
The Origins Vintage Collection (VC) will be on Mattel Creations. The Origins Cartoon Collection (CC), Fan Favorites (FF) and Turtles of Grayskull (ToG) will all be at retail. The CC and FF might be hitting shelves this month while ToG has shipping scheduled for this month but an embargo until January 1st.

I just cleaned out the last Walmart that still carries Origins of 9 wave 7 figures to donate to Toys for Tots. Who knows in 10 or 14 years we could have a new member with memories of getting Jitsu or Party Boy Stratos for Christmas.

@smitty-81 thats awesome Smitty. I'd do the same if I had the money, so i'm glad people are. Nothing better than sharing the MOTU love!
Good thinking. Team player.
And did a nice thing.
HA! Party boy Stratos. I just call him Nekkid Stratos.

The gift that keeps on giving.
Also Walmart and target must be allergic to putting that wave on clearance….What are they waiting for
My honest and sincere answer err guess is Christmas.

That wave has been on shelves for over a year though. I’ve seen masterverse get clearanced out only to have the same figures put back on pegs a few weeks later at regular price. Just weird
I'm lucky one of my 2 walmarts stopped carrying origins in jan, i say lucky cause they just started carrying them again so at least one store near me has different figures lol.

I've seen a lot of funny nicknames for him, Chip and Dale's, plucked, fun time, Bachelorette party.

I got my CC Skeletor last night and he's great. He's got that same sparkle in his armor as CC He-Man. That VeeFriends Skeletor may not make it into my Skeletor display.

Anyone had an origins arm just break off? Was playing with my son the other day and our battle armor Skeletors arm just snapped right off. Wasn't tight or stuck at all. I just tried to move it like he had his hands up and pop off it came. Ordered a new one already, just wondering if this is a known problem or just a one off
@ravewayneboo It hasn't happened to me but I heard that happened to other people. Hopefully it wasn't an exclusive bro!
Did this ever happen to you @alexisskrull or @smitty-81 ?

Twice, but with the knees on the legs of Andre the Giant and He-Skeletor. They were tight though so I'm sure that was a factor.

Thankfully no, though my Evil Lynn's arm is loose and pops out all the time but no breaks on any yet. Though I tend to let tight legs/arms on my toys just stay put and not force them as I can't afford to replace even a 15 (now 18) dollar figure!

No wasn't an exclusive thankfully. It was Battle Armor Skeletor. Grabbed new one off Ebay loose for 7.99. We popped all the parts off of him to reuse later on a custom. We play so much that I think little guy might have been a little to rough. He had him right before I tried to pose Skeletor so it's either that or was just a faulty figure
Idk if anyone saw yet but toy habits has an anonymous source saying Bow and She-ra are coming to the cartoon collection. Are his sources legit?
@brasco Mattel's aversion to the vintage Princess of Power designs is really frustrating. We only ever get Filmation versions of She-Ra characters it seems.
Do you guys think it’s bc POP is considered a “girls” toy and they figure they won’t sell? Our whole community is over 90% male and they are the ones that want it

I think so bud. I also think we who want them are in the minority. What I mean is a bunch of people were seeing Masterverse She-Ra figures hit clearance shelves after 2 months of release. I saw it too at my own Target. And that is the POP title character we are talking about. And if your title character has trouble selling than how are the lesser characters gonna sell? So what I am saying is I don't think She-Ra sells as much as we hoped she would. It's the same reason we don't get more Masterverse CG characters.

They should sell 2 packs with a PoP hero and a Horde member in each. Most Horde members would sell a lot more readily and they could jack the price since its 2 packs. Best of both worlds for us fans who want both.
I have to believe there is a bigger fan base for PoP than ROTS, and they managed to get through those figures. Maybe I'm wrong I guess since ROTS didn't really get any exposure over in Ireland where I grew up.
