Cosmic

Is this the final reveal of SDCC 2024 for MOTU / Mattel? Or was there still a placeholder somewhere?

@chrisa “Reptile Wars”!

@smitty-81 Synergy! Would be funny and awesome if it would indeed be the Joes fans who help put it over the edge! Joes to the rescue! Or Cobra, that is 😅

I’m getting Remco vibes from the Snake Lair. Or imagining little plastic knight figures around it, in a catalogue ad that only ran once. In that sense, it does have some retro vibes 😆 The entrance in...

@smitty-81 MEF bucket head is the shape of the cartoon design, but the size of the vintage toy helmet. This compromise might not be working. Mostly I think helmet’s too tall, b/c they incorporated the...

@sci-fitsunami Here’s the comparison

I saw a comparison pic somewhere (Twitter?) and it does look like it’s not *that* much smaller than Eternia… If so, it could be $400. 😬 I always thought crowdfunds have smaller production runs. So th...

Well ok then, moving on… How about those new Origins, eh?

@smitty-81 Why wasn’t it possible for Classics to do Filmation style characters from the get go then? For quite a while it was stated Filmation is off-limits. They own the characters, yes. But it is p...

@smitty-81 That’s different. Not saying that color is the ONLY differentiator. But it may be an additional hurdle. Who knows. Just saying it’s complicated. And usage is a completely different thing fr...

@smitty-81 Broadly, yes. However they do not own the Filmation cartoon library. Some of those designs are jointly developed. They may have to pay a little something to the current co-owner for using t...

@disneyboy All of the CC get “adapted” a bit, since CC has still some of the vintage toys DNA in it. There may be some rights issues, too, since the colors of CC are all a bit off / lighter. But there...

@smitty-81 Can’t get over how batsh*t crazy that Rattlor is!!

@durendal The difference might be the price… And f these figures go for $120 (about half of what the 1/6 figures go for), they will not compete with Masterverse. Like, I won’t buy them, too much for m...

Not enough talk about skeletized Lady Slither.

I JUST realized the scale…!!! A whole new series… so this is a direct competitor to Masterverse. But more expensive. Is this the long awaited continuation of Classics? I have a lot of questions about ...

In new ways of cross pollination, I seem to see Masterverse Elements in this Mondo Buzz-Off.

Nice close-up photos there, including Skelcon.

Newest reveals from the motu panel I’m excited for Fisto and the Skelcon. Blade looks nice, too…

Yeah they want to probably make the budget with the Lair higher, so that it’s all worth it. The diorama looks awesome! This is the way MOTU should be presented. I was missing that last year. I see a s...
