I'm just curious how many collectors missed out on Origins figures? I'm still missing a few. This line is hard as hell to complete. Mattel made sure that I would have holes in my collection.
And then I see some Youtubers sitting on multiples of every figure & they won't part with them. The toy hoarders. They'll sit on 20 of the rarest figures while others couldn't even get 1.
I still need to get:
She-Ra
Dragon Blaster Skeletor
Screech
Snake Horde Trooper
Camo Khan
Thunder Punch He-Man
Duplico
Digitino
Kol-Darr
I don't want comic Trap-Jaw at all. And I will never get the Power-Con exclusives because of the prices. And I won't be getting King Grayskull because I didn't order Eternia.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm only talking about the Vintage Collection. Not the Cartoon Collection or Turtles Of Grayskull. I consider them 3 separate/different lines.
I originally missed out on Kol-darr but traded a kobra Kahn and King Hiss for him.
Duplico but a fellow member sold me one for regular retail and picked up another when he went back up on MC.
Wundar but was able to get him when they put him back up for pre order
I'm missing a good few but still working on getting them.
He-Man (Battle Armor)(single carded)
He-Man (Thunder Punch)
Hordak (Buzz Saw)
Leech
Skeletor (Dragon Blaster)
Snout Spout
Eternian Palace Guard
Lords of Power 5-Pack (PowerCon)
Prince Adam / He-Man (SDCC)
She-Ra (PowerCon)
Teela & Zoar
Evil-Lyn
He-Man (200X)
Skeletor (200X)
He-Man (Snake Armor)
Roboto (Mini Comic)
Skeletor (Snake Armor)
Slamurai,
Snake Trooper,
Eternian Guard (Infiltrator),
Man-at-Arms (Snake Armour),
Man-e-Faces mini comic
I have managed to pick up most of the Power con exclusives but damn is cost me a lot.
I also haven't picked up the Sun Man characters. I just had no connection to those characters so they didn't grab me.

The only thing I'm missing is the second Sun-Man three pack that stupid Target cancelled on everyone and for some reason won't put online when they are supposedly in store everywhere. But I don't have Target stores where I live and I refuse to pay $100 for it on eBay. And I fear this is going to be the same story with Terroar, Lord Gr'asp, Snake Wraith, and Stranger Things Skeletor set. Otherwise I have everything else that has been released in the Origins line so far.
@depp76 awesome. I have a way to go before I catch up with you. When you say everything, are you including CC and ToG?

WelI I didn't really take into account that technically the CC and ToG are Origins too lol, so within the whole universe of Origins I don't have everything then. I have everything so far from the vintage line and the CC, but I decided not to partake in collecting the ToG. 😁@depp76 awesome. I have a way to go before I catch up with you.

@depp76 I've tried not to indulge this urge to get into collecting tmnt toys but the motutmnt line is making it difficult because it looks pretty cool. 😅

I just edited the original post. this is only about the Vintage Collection. I consider them 3 separate/different lines. I'm only interested in the main line we've been working on for the past 3 years. The one that just got totally screwed & thrown over to Mattel Creations as yesterday's trash.
Okay cool then in that case I'm only missing the newest Sun-Man three pack. 👍I just edited the original post. this is only about the Vintage Collection. I consider them 3 separate/different lines.

@depp76 ha, I nearly had you dragged down to my level of incompleteness 😅

Since i over paid for 2 comic MEF figures. We have 2 complete sets of everything released, loose and carded/boxed. All creation, power con, sdcc exclusives. We have been pretty lucky with being to get everything at regular prices, except the MEF figures.
Im actually happy about it, because I usually get burned out, or tired of how hard these are to acquire, where i say hell with it. And now loving the cartoon line. I just cant get into the turtle line. Doesnt click with me.
Ah, this is a sore spot topic for me 😀
I sadly missed a few, plus the one I deliberately skipped (like RoTS).
Figures that never made it to my neck of the woods (as far as I can tell):
- Origins Leech
- Origins Snout Spout
Figures that were released here but that I missed anyway:
- Origins Mantenna
- Origins Buzz-saw Hordak
At least there are the figures that I am annoyed not having in my collection...
@banthafett wow, 2 complete sets. Amazing.

I totally forgot that I also didn't get the Mattel Creations exclusive deluxe Sun-Man figure. So for giggles I jumped on eBay which I haven't been on in quite a while, and it turned out that I had a little bit of credit points to use. So I actually scored the deluxe Sun-Man figure for $15 and the newest Sun-Man three pack that I'm missing for $30. So now I am 100% complete with vintage Origins, that is until these stupid Walmart and Target exclusive figures drop that will be nearly impossible to get lol.
@depp76 I'm only visiting this thread to feel bad about what I don't have lol.
Good job rounding out the collection!

yeah its been a fun ride so far. Favorite boxed item is clear skeletor, favorite loose is blue adam from the first origins release because of cloth vest. Really wish they would rerelease regular adam with cloth vest and new head sculpt.
Also have 2 complete sets if the mega masters line. I can’t believe how much battle bones goes for and they havent released a different version. But im thinking that line is dead now.
i never go gaga over things, but i do love the origins line. Think it has to do with disney killing my love for Star wars. Star wars was my life, i cant even bring myself to buy a vintage star wars item. I just dont care anymore.
@banthafett you just reminded me I don’t have the lords of power set. I too have 2 complete sets for origins with the exception of clear Skeletor, Koll-dar and Lady Slither. (Only have 1 of each) I even have 2 of each of the castles and vehicles, only 1 eternia though. Certain figures I have 3 and 4 of and I have around 10 or 11 Scare glows (for army building)
I just bought a Duplico from eBay. I originally wasn't going to bother getting him. But I was looking at his vest & it's perfect for a couple customs I'm working on.
I know some people are hoarding multiples of him & won't part with them. I know of 1 Youtuber that has a bunch of extras. But he won't let 1 go. Because they have to be that way I have to get screwed. Na! Na! I have 6 & you can't have any. Big babies! Acting like the damned things are made out of solid gold or diamonds.
I'm not even gonna bother with the Power-Con sets. And the only one I want from the Lords Of Power set is Beast-Man. And I won't touch that godawful radioactive comic Trap-Jaw. I passed on Kol-Darr because I don't even know he is. And I skipped Camo-Khan because all the other exclusives were $18 but he was $33. That really pissed me off. I still don't understand why he was $33.
I am missing some mini comic versions. I don't get the appeal. I also hate that He-Skeletor.

I hated He-Skeletor too. But I was able to get him for around $5 at a local toy shop. I had some extra credit & they didn't have anything else interesting so I figured "why not?"
