Sketchy Skeletor

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

I hope if we do get the giants, they do them right. Not like the Andre the giant we got in the motu/wwe line.

@banthafett that includes the vintage boxes exactly how they were too

I am looking forward to this figure. He was one of my favourites from the 87 movie. I never managed to get the vintage figure as He-Man was getting harder to find in Canada at that time. I was also no...

I haven't watched any of the live streams, but the reveals were all pretty underwhelming IMHO. Just nothing really exciting.

Nice flesh colored hand you got there.

Well, you don't have to be a good mathematician to understand that ordering this membership, however sporadic my interest may be, will always be better than tackling the secondary market for possible ...

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 😉
