NOTES We're Back down to 6 pages The art is dramatically improved over "The Spear of Eternity" The choice in characters in interesting, I get Lord Gr'Asp, Extendar, and He-Man, but the rest just see ...

Movie Beastman - Awesome! Being a massive Classics collector, I loved seeing him, so I could expand my '87 movie collection. POP Leech - Amazing reveal! Love this as we missed out on the Club Eternia ...

I haven't seen a lot of people mention this, but the Hover Robot that comes with the Origins Crimson Horde Trooper looks a LOT like a Classics mold repainted. If this is the case, I'm gonna need a c...

The art done by actual artists has been a big part of how Mattel promotes the stuff. Pixel Dan always mentions how cool the art is in every revue and often mentions the name of the artist. And current...

This is a huge fail on their part, especially when they're putting in so much effort with things like the various artifacts/weapons from specific episodes with each release.

@bricrue The Man of War? Yea it looks off to me too bro. Too cartoony.

@durendal Yeah pretty bizarre

@durendal it seems like a major oversight especially when they have the cape they used for MOTWWEU Chyna.

@durendal I hope it's a teaser and not just an Easter egg.

@brasco I thought it was pricey too. The fur on the chair and the ability to light the fire red or green made me feel a little better about it.

Where. Is. SHE-RA!? What about BOW? 😑 Losing hope here. Cringer and Adam look great. Collector looks great. Lyn needs her cape but looks great. But....no Adora? Not even a Filmation Hordak? ...

Great conversation this one! Keep em coming! Or they only had 100 to sell because most of the Lord Gr'Asps and Terroars are hanging out in Mexico with Duplico. 🤣

@durendal If they keep throwing in bonus figures like Demo-Man yeah, it'll take a while.

Adding to my list from before. Laser Power He-Man and Laser Light Skeletor. I'd step over my own mother for those two!

Bring back the meterobs!

Only 19 figures remain unannounced to complete the Vintage Collection. This includes Titus and Megator, as well as the rest of the Lost wave of 88. Blade Blast-Attack Dragstor Gwildor He...

@durendal for the VC I'd like to see Rio-Blast and Huricane Hordak. In the FF I'd like to see Mech-a-neck even though I already have him. With the CC there's not much I'd get excited for excited for ...

@durendal Rio blast and any vehicle

What an amazing amount of caring work done here. I would pay for this. What an amount of work. CRaigy

@durendal not all the tooling but a lot of it. Two-Bad will need one new leg, and heads at the least. Baddrah is scaly so ideally we'd get a new torso with that detail molded in.

Woohoo, Extendar. Been waiting for a long time to get my grubby hands on that figure 😉 He's been missing from my vintage collection too, not easy to get hold of in a really good condition at a fair p...

@durendal I'm guessing the original concepts of the Horde Trooper included non-robot entities, so Mattel is using New Eternia to showcase them.

@durendal some Transformers collectors have entire shelves for just one character. There's easily 20 Optimus Prime toy in just the last 5 years.

@durendal hopefully the hood on the Skeletor head matches the wave 1 Skeletor's shape of purple.

@brasco maybe, but it was released closer to the middle of the line and it doesn't really belong to anyone. Mantisaur is Hordak's mount just like Battle Cat is He-Man's.
