Well well well! Just kidding, I basically agree. Although I would probably want to divide it up into "actually released vintage figures" (which is my primary interest), figures that were planned but ...

@Smitty.81 Good question. I have been able to stay clear of the Cartoon Collection, mostly (obviously I had to get Cringer/Adam, and a few of the heavy hitters - I always get those). With all those ...

God, I wish they would just get OG Origins over with so I can close that construction side on my shelves ^^ Will be interesting to see if the remaining vintage characters will keep their "open access"...

I rekcon there are several factors to consider. 1) Creative bancruptcy Disney isn't run any more by creatives wanting to tell enchanting stories; projects like Snow White, or any of the other "live ac...

Good lord, no more cinematic universes! Just make a stand-alone, well-written movie. Also, considering how poorly "superhero" films have done in general over the past few years, that was a poorly chos...

The issue with tooling isn't so much the generation of the 3D model, or the 3D printed prototype, but the production of the actual metal tools/moulds needed in the factory. That's my understanding any...

I am still trying to find information about the scale of the roll out of the LTS MASK toys. The only comments so far referred to US retailers (BBTS starting pre-orders in June/July?). But nothing at a...

Personally, I would only look at New Eternia, since some of the designs of the new cartoon doesn't work for me and, more importantly, doesn't full "mesh" with NE, stylistically (imho). But yes, hav...

Obviously just one nerds opinion, but what Mattel should have done instead of this 4-pack of kit bashed random dudes is to make polls and ask people which figures they would like to see re-issued. I t...

I struggle to answer this poll - but I did go with the Paragon Champion. The thing is, these have no...lore, or any sort of foot hold within the IP, for me anyway. It's basically a kit bash sort of t...

@sketchyskeletor Unless of course they make it extra special by putting it on Creations and charge you 20 bucks for the chance of maybe being able to pre-order it! Then it'd be fine, i reckon.

Ooff, that price would be a tough pill to swallow given how much smaller the set appears to be compared to SM or Grayskull. I mean, I think I am pretty much out after FZ, seeing how the line has been ...

I believe Silverhawks is owned by Super7 now; so such a crossover seems a little unlikely, unless Brian Flynn is keen to sell off the IP again. Come to think of it, I could see that happening, since t...

My impression was that the reveal show, as lame and creepy as it was, was mostly to get people lured into the Club Grayskull subscription, We've had a few PoP reveals for the Cartoon Collection at Toy...

I honestly think the more likely explanation for CG is that they have struggled to gauge interest in their Creations offering. By locking people into a "cheap" subscription, they probably figure that ...

Sales numbers, presumably. I think what has become quite clear is that they are not following a collector-focused direction with how many lines they have going in parallel, and no indication that any ...

That to me is honestly is such a major mistep. Why would they use this weird box design when the vintage version was *right there* Kinda makes me think that the people in charge know the IP less than ...

Well it wasn't really official then! 😀 It just feels like a shady practice to me. Do I want He-ro in my collection? Honestly, depends on where they are going with Preternia. If it's just 1-2 characte...

Possible; I was so annoyed by the announcement that they want to push me into a subscription just to buy a "regular" figure that steam was coming out of my ears at that point 😉

What specifically?

@disneyboy regular origins

yep

And the other two exclusives are Origins Hurricane Hordak, re-imagined, and a Masterverse Moss-Man (oversized, whatever that means).

Right, so He-Ro will only be available to Club Grayskull members - basically, if I want to give Mattel my money, I first have to pay for the privilige to do so? Yeah, I guess...not happening ^^ Ha...

Some people really have odd expectations. Origins, from the start, has been about re-creating the original line with somewhat updated modern mechanics. And this is exactly that. So good job Mattel, an...
