Sketchy Skeletor

For the love of Eternia STOP with Walmart ANYTHING!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

A look at the back of the packaging for the Masterverse Masters of the Universe "Vintage Collection" Faker action figure coming March 13th to the Walmart Collector Con, courtesy of packaging designer ...

Have they? They must have the wrong retailers, because I'm very proactive when it comes to flushing out these figures online, and I've never seen them there. Also, since Skeletor is brand new, it shou...

Completely agree. I've been saying they should do this for a while now. It would also help out us Classics collectors that want a continuation of obscure characters in a similar scale.

Here's my deal. I'm the type of collector that doesn't want to collect a line unless I know they will make every single character. You can't "COLLECT THEM ALL" if they don't make them all. Right? 1. ...

This is a very good point. I did a search on ebay under completed listings for Vintage Collection Zodac and there's eff all on there. One website here in Australia had 2 listed for sale and both sold ...

Besides the obvious He-Man, Skeletor & Hordak, what caused Mattel to start remaking the same characters over & over & over again? They didn't do this back in the 80s. Back then we got 1 v...

I mean Mattel ... What the hell have you done with this vintage collection Zodac? Skeletor has had his first reviews for weeks now and still nothing about his comrade, who was available for pre-order ...

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 ...

^^^This. Masterverse is Mattel's answer to Hasbro's Black Series and Marvel Legends. As such, it is more expensive to tool and, I'd wager, the returns aren't as profitable. Origins is a cheaper line t...

I'm pretty sure my grandmother knows way more about MOTU than anyone at Mattel right now...

Packaging is awful... just awful. And, I disagree with the reviewer claiming these can't make it at retail. A shiny gold, barbarian wizard with a red cape and giant staff? This dude almost sells himse...

Gone are the days of Classics reveals... when each one always seemed to please in one way or another. At this point, what I'm clamoring for is more NA and PoP. I am glad that we might be getting some ...

WTF?

@sketchyskeletor This is exactly why reselling my Motuc figures is so problematic. The uncertainties of the Masterverse line... I'd be more willing to bet on the future under more solid circumstances.

So according to Toy Habits, these are some of the new Masterverse figures coming up: TeelaShe-RaHordakMoss-ManFakerTerror Claws SkeletorStratos The only new characters we don't have yet are:NinjorCobr...

Also, it was pointed out on the other MOTU forum that The Great Black Wizard is prominently shown on the cover of He-Ro's comic. At first I didn't clue in and just assumed that was Skeletor, but he di...

@lasastard even though the artists involved in the packaging design have a very deep love and understanding of MOTU lore. It's just a very odd, easily-avoidable own goal. How does shit like that happe...

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 ...

He-Ro's deluxe box is ok, but I kind of wish they had released him using the original card design from the 80's, like Super7 did a few years ago... Also, they really should have included an extra head...

@lasastard I really appreciate that Mattel dramatically expanded the Snake Men faction in Origins, because in the vintage years it was a disproportionally small group compared with the others. I'm hop...

Oh! I didn't notice those two things til I saw your comment! Gold weapons is weird but the die-cast recorder is ... cool, I guess ... ?

Hmmm ... All right, Mattel, I guess we'll just have to wait until SDCC for you to unveil another bunch of MV figures? Like this intriguing Moss Man or even the two rumored evil warriors (Ninjor, Kobra...

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...

@sketchyskeletor Mattel certainly makes some strange decisions. They had confidence in Snake Men Infiltrator and naked Stratos at retail, but not in Rio Blast or He-Ro
