I'll happily admit that I am not the biggest fan of the more recent addition to the MOTU line that Mattel has cooked up in some basement (Snakemen anyone...). But that figure looks amazing; fits right...

@onlyoneskeletor true true. I certainly expect them to drop NE (or "phase out") once they hit the typical "cliff" where they have to move from "tier 1" to "tier 2" territory and just start a new line....

Looking at the amount of "adhd" in Origins with respect to tertiary or flat-out "made-up" characters, I am not entire confident that 8 years will be enough 😉 But maybe NE is a more restrictive fram...

I honestly do not understand why in the world they are dragging this out as much as they do. Other companies are well capable of releasing entire waves in one go. Yet Mattel trickles out the VC one fi...

I know right, what is up with that. It's not like they dont have capable artists. But for some reason, they always put the intern on He-man ^^

It feels a bit like the people in charge don't understand the concept of collecting and what people are looking for when building up a collection. Hint, it's not random characters from all directions ...

The box designers are probably starting to panic too 😉

I think that is one of the growing issues with Masterverse in general. Just too many sub lines that seemingly overlap; and no clear sense of direction. A release here, another release from another sub...

Must...not...get...into...cartoon...collection. Not making it easy, Mattel!

Recently, at Mattel HQ PR: Right, guys, please tell me we are done with Snakemen. People are getting annoyed! Product manager: Oh, totally, no more Snakemen, I promise. On an unrelated note, have you ...

Agreed. To me Vintage Masterverse is a bit of a problematic decision on Mattels part. I get that new (sub-) lines can create or renew interest. But to me the whole point of New Eternia was to basicall...

To be fair, the Collector to mee seems like a very deliberate attempt to get people to switch over to the Cartoon Collection. Which is obviously where Mattel sees the future of the line. Vintage Origi...

Yeah it's not just that the original vehicles are kinda pricey (well, relatively), but for me part of the appeal of Origins has been to take the original designs and update them. I like what they did...

That's basically true for all things MOTU tho ^^ It's actually kinda hard (and somewhat pricey) to get some of the vehicles in "working condition". But that's not the point of Origins anyway. Honest...

I mean, in Mattels place, I would have sprinkled in these "new" fan-fic characters a little bit more sparsely and focused on getting the original figures out at a slightly faster pace. I am not sure...

@Smitty.81 True - re Transformers. What I would want to lay at Mattels feet is the fact they it feels like they choked out the "vintage" origins line by getting side tracked too much. I get that som...

You know, every time I check Mattel news on MOTU stuff I get a little sadder. I was so hoping that they'd focus on Origins to mostly just re-release the vintage line and then pick up where it left of...

Honestly, seeing how many Snakemen they did for Origins (instead of many actual main line characters which now may never see the light of day, going by how slow their roll out on Creations has been) -...

Hm this figures looks a little bare and, dare I say, cheap? Something off about this one, anyway. Need to think about whether I need this for the collection

Whaaat?! You do understand that you get a car that - at the press of a button!! - transforms into a jet?! 😀 No, I get it - I was never into GI Joe and that was as huge toy line. I think I also just...
