@ornclown Yeah I wanted to get him just to have him accompany CC (Fake) He-Man but I think for now Hordak, the other big baddie of the franchise, is good enough. Are there any other early CC wave figures that aren't up to snuff?

Of course I'm not getting every character but out of the early Blue cardback waves, I'm interested in getting CC Teela, Man-at-Arms, Stratos, Trap Jaw and maybe Evil-Lyn. I wanna know which ones are good and which to avoid. 

Need to watch more Filmation She-Ra but definitely have my eyes on the upcoming Shadow Weaver. She-Ra looks great until I see her height compared to her brother.

Cartoon Mantenna straight up looks beautiful compared to his OG ugly toy look. All I want is a CC Entrapta even if it's Filmmation just to stand her next to Hordak.

Bias? Me? Noooooooooo

 🧐 Could this be this big if Mattel ever made it ?! https://toyhabits.com/doom-tower-masters-of-the-universe-motu-origins-concept/

@onlyoneskeletor I'd probably sooner give my money to a customizer tbh!

@sketchyskeletor Not that I don't like it, but considering the remaining space at the top of my shelves, I'd rather wait and see how imposing the upcoming Fright Zone will be. Not to mention the now resurrected Snake Lair ... Lord have mercy! 😱

@onlyoneskeletor I hear that, I've two each of Grayskull and 'Mountain already, and will hopefully get 2 of 'Zone. My Funko Pop collection has already been sacrificed lol.

@sketchyskeletor (R.I.P) On a positive note, this reflex can be of great help in such a context. As for playsets, I have the same references as you, but on the Motuc scale. So you can imagine the tricky situation I'm in when it comes to expanding various domains of Eternia...

@onlyoneskeletor An extension on both our houses! Lol.

Can you imagine if Classics had gotten Eternia...

@sketchyskeletor The more space we have, the more we need to fill it, dangerously tempting (lol) !
Oh no, please don't get me started on Eterniaaaaa ...! I was really disappointed by Mattel's strategy when they finally announced that they would go ahead with the crowdfunding project. Personally, I would have made the excuse that it first appeared on screen via the Revelation cartoon to give the Masterverse its very first playset, which would have been slightly larger and, more importantly, richer in detail. I was furious when the first reviews hit the web and the Youtubers tried to convince Masterverse collectors that this figure could potentially be thrown into the Donjon without causing any confusion: "See guys, it fits perfectly!" 😖 But in the end, I have to confess that the situation being what it was somehow helped me not to support the project, mainly because, despite the mystification swirling around these towers, my own personal space wasn't equipped to welcome such a beast, it needs so much depth, I can't face this challenge. To cut a long story short, the shopping list doesn't go beyond the Fright Zone and a possible Slime Pit as far as I'm concerned. PS: Motuc Eternia would have been majestic, no doubt.

@onlyoneskeletor Sadly whether or not I wanted Eternia became irrelevant as an international buyer when the price got announced!

@onlyoneskeletor As a kid who grew up in the late 00s and early 10s, I see big evil tower, first image that pops into my head

 

 

If you can hear the jingle in your head, you are a real one.

@sketchyskeletor is photography allowed at this event? I remember someone reporting that Slime Pit He-Man and Bashasaurus were at a German toy event and I think it was actually Demo-Man and the Collector.

@smitty-81 Wow ... How can we get decently confused with these two emblematic vehicles! I mean, plain and simple: their distinctive colors.

@onlyoneskeletor apparently the information came from someone who didn't know MOTU very well.

It's quite annoying that Faker is a more useful He-Man than the He-Man we got!

The sword, harness (no stupid straps!) and boots are closer to what they should be. The sword sheath while not as accurate doesn't look anywhere near as daft either, and he might be paler but he's more than passable. 

Urgh, now I need more Fakers to replace all the He-Men I bought! At least I can use the second headsculpt on those...

@sketchyskeletor I literally just got CC Faker along with Hordak and did basically a mass unboxing with CC Man-at-Arms, Stratos (Thank god he ain't in a speedo) and the Adam and Cringer 2-pack and they are all great. 

May buy another Faker because why not? a REAL Faker and a "real" He-Man. Also I'm a Sonic fan, this is double reference (Metal Sonic and Sonic iconically calling Shadow a faker) for me way before that franchise even existed.

 

Got the new Hordak because yeah I knew CC Skel isn't up to standard but he's great just wish he came with a better accessory, preferably his arm canon. 

Can I have any recommendations for other really good CC figures I should get?

@slycooperastroboy51 See, I really like Vultak but he's on Cretins... the recent waves have great looking stuff but I only have Faker so far. I'm awaiting Invisible Skeletor, Frosta and Buzz Off.

I am loving Invisible Skeletor!  But I’m a sucker for most transparent type figures.

New figure news feels light lately. I wonder if the tariffs have something to do with it.

@samuel London Comic Con will have a Mattel presence right before the upcoming Cretins drop.
