>>11799517 >>11799518 I am not paying these prices It does look great - as far as prototypes go - but even for want a better looking head sculpt and a more realistic human body versus the class toy he-man body proportion, not worth what they want to charge for this crap
I'm happy to wait for the porn art that Japanese school girls will soon festoon xshitter with inb4 takedown notices and also to wait for the eventual bootleg - unless the movie bombs.
Gosh DAMMIT Will someone comment on the quality of the Motu food at Dennys? Mom says she will take me but I don't want to go unless the experience is as good as the movie.
>>11799644 scene in the film where Adam in our world starts tripping out in a illusion where he thinks he is in his office again and his boss becomes that and the whole office melts into Snake Mountain.
>>11799692 Yeah, it's lame but I know I prefer a traditional doughnut so maybe it's for the old guys with high blood pressure like me. >11799700 Kek. Nice work.
>>11799833 Sketch series Octavia? I'd take, but I also want CC version. The back has a mix of vintage and CC figs with furry Grizzlor diving right into the slime.
>>11799833 >Mattel finally release vintage origins Two-Bad >It's the slimed translucent version >It's part of a three pack exclusive with slimed He-Man and Beast Man >It's Walmart-Con Exclusive
>>11799844 I WANT to care, I really do but it's just missing something. Idk, I guess if I just grab the figures and read the comics maybe then I'll be able to buy in. But, that's a lot of figures to buy just to see if I like the figures if that makes any sense.
I guess what I'm babbling about is a real interest in a new side of motu, but idk if he ro/prince grey are the guys I want to follow.
I havent seen a modern hollywood movie in theaters in so long its actually insane. Does this shit come out digitally close to the theater release date or do I have to wait 3 months like I used to before.
>>11799895 Agreed. I've made many a blogposts about just this. Dare would have been a perfect fit to send into space for NA. And He-Ro sucks, Eldor is boring...Grey is the laziest character ever.
>>11799628 The hood shape looks like the kid's toy Skeletor mask that's out right now so this could be based on an actual scene or at the very least it's referencing the toy mask.
>>11800103 I don't hate it. It gives these sets kind of a Mighty Max feel. But I dislike that it replaces the standard Mega Construx figures as I was intently collecting that line and would have been ecstatic to get movie versions of those figures. So it's maybe not for me, but I can see why it might appeal to people.
>>11800113 >I dislike that it replaces the standard Mega Construx figures >>11800149 >if these had proper minifigs We will never see Mega Construx figures again because Mattel doesn't want them stealing the spotlight from their Mighty Masters line.
>>11800164 Yeah I'm glad I got the whole line with a few extras minus the exclusive battle bones back when it was all easy to get. Never going to see anything cool like this again. Mattel really dropped the ball on this line.
>>11800203 It has so far for core. Check any retail site for the number of sales against chronicles and origins. There’s a reason all the origins are exclusive now. MotU is finding the next generation as it should while tucking the boomers into their deathbed.
>>11800164 >stealing the spotlight from their Mighty Masters line. If this was true then give the same articulation to those mighty masters. Add a ball peg at the foot and a ball peg or cut at the wrist, and I'd collect them all. They're still cool but just don't do enough for me to want more than maybe a couple. Kinda like a better, smaller version of Hasbro's ActionVerse.
>>11800212 These are perfect boomer bait. I’m into them because I have a deep appreciation of hemans legacy for toys in general but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for an original collection. These will pair nicely with my books.
>>11800214 They should really have toys at checkout counters not just candy. 5 below’s whole business model is a store of impulse buys imagine a cutout for that at someplace like Walmart just remove the magazines nobody buys.
>>11800218 Walmart does tend to have a few toys by the checkout, mostly Mario, Sonic, and a few Disney things and then some candys that come with some bonus like kinder eggs
>>11799833 >>11799856 I just noticed something...Octavia has what looks like notches on the back of her head....is that a helmet? I've spent years thinking she had a weird haircut, but is it actually a weird helmet instead?
Also, looking at the art and thinking about toy construction...the tentacles are not on the back, but come out where the arms do. Do you think she's going to have a normal torso with a "tentacle adaptor" piece that plugs into the shoulder socket and then her normal arms plug into the adaptor? Sorta like how Slither's skirt adaptor works for her tail?
since masters of the wwe is coming back, I'm looking to the old waves for any gems I missed. Rattlesnake Jake has that awful classics armor and Undertaker looks kinda goofy, but I definitely missed out on The Rock so I nabbed him. Anyone else miss that line? It was a weird era when we only had a couple waves of vintage origins and a bunch of random wrestlers with classics gear.
>>11800615 It's what led me to this general. I've wanted to sell my collection but it never worked out, so I'll add to it instead. I'd like a chance at a gitd undertaker, I left him behind during the covid days so maybe another fan could have a chance.
>>11800615 I wished I had picked up brand new day faces. Wasn't familiar with the wreslter so I passed but now Im looking at it as a figure and damen it looks fun. Also faker Cena in translucent blue. I got most everyone else except for the Snake Mountain Ring that never hit shelves and didn't last long online. Must have been part of the shipping containers that got lost around the time it was releasing. I wanted that Hulk in armor. Settled for Super Stars Hulk.
>>11801310 Why the fuck would anyone want to watch yet another White Male get lectured about his Whiteness and "Toxic Masculinity"? I'm sure plenty of you retards will be consoooming the goyslop though. IDGAF.
It's crazy how hard mattel is going on 200x He-Man figs. All new sculpts for every release. I have a feeling though that it's gonna be ROSS fodder. None of the stores have stock anything past wave 1 and movie stuff is already taking over the peg space. Can this line last long enough for me to get what I want from the 200x line, those fancy Snake Men, Count Morzo, and the Faceless One?
Oof, mattel designers need to take a class in color theory. This just aint working. I thought it was the blue, buts it's that neon red orange that's throwing it off.
I'm just gonna say it, as unlikely as it is...if ALL the teases on the Slime Pit box were to get unveiled at SDCC, this would be the best showing from Mattel since the year they showed off Eternia
>>11802201 Well, you know me, if we're gonna get a horde robot with all new tooling, I'd rather get my boy Dylamug...but I wouldn't turn down an Evil Robot
>>11802223 I’m not upset. It’s truly an unintentional thing it seems vs an intentional chase variant. If this is something that continues past the movie figures then by all means grab the pitchfork and torches.
>US MC calendar says there's a drop on June 26th >UK and German calendars say 22nd AND 26th has drops >Aus calendar says neither of those, it's June 19th
So, yeah. We're getting stuff but God knows how many or what dates
>>11802386 The problem is retail sucks where I live and rarely stocks motu these days so I am forced to buy on Amazon or bbts and I dont get to see if they have the better head
>>11801001 >>11800999 >>11800998 These look really cool. So much has changed in the last few years. I cant wrap my head around chinese third party MOTU toys.
>>11802264 >Sorceress I can't believe she's finally getting a proper figure. She was easily one of my most favorite redesigns in 200X and I was quietly wishing for this.
If Mattel said they were going to rerelease the entirety of the heroes again as repaints, which would you pick as the option you'd most want to buy? >Faker repaints >Slime zombie repaints >Anti-Eternian repaints
>>11802774 Years ago I kept suggesting turning AE into MOTU's equivalent to Shattered Glass for this purpose. I guess the Faker option is there but Skeletor's got way too many mooks as is. That said you might aswell do all three just to keep people on their toes. >>11802780 This guy gets it.
does anyone else have the talking Skeletor mask...? the voice is totally different from the final Skeletor voice in the film, it almost sounds like Jared, too.
>>11802683 >if they can't use the word slime anymore for some reason. Oh they definitely lost the TM for Slime. I forget if it was common usage argument (for which Band-Aids still fights for decades later) or simply not renewed in a timely fashion. I'd say the latter because otherwise they'd still use "Slime" as a name.
>>11802692 >The Fright Zone must be in Canada Fuckin' Cannuks!
>>11802774 I would buy every Slime figure. I would probably buy every Anti-Eternia figure. Not as hardcore about Fakers but >>11802824 makes them look tempting.
>Thundercats Skeletor still appears at Ross >Cartoon Collection goes direct to Ross too >tons of Masterverse stock aswell What are the chances of the Transformers and later Thundercats waves showing up there too?
>>11803583 Panthorman and recolor Panthro, LionO are already hitting ROSS. Been trying to find Panthorman for two weeks. Sketch 2 packs and He-man also hitting ROSS so the TF collabs are surely to get dumped as well. Most targets got rid of all their stock by pricing them below $10 so good luck. You might still find them instore.
>>11803594 I missed the target clearances. The stores near me only had stockpiles of scarescream left. Likewise my ROSS stores have been barren. Nothong but ToG Clamp Champ and Cartoon Collection cast offs.
With Masterverse I seriously realize how it didn't had sny expectations compared to Origins. It died and I don't see people complaining about all the figures that never got done.
Most of sublines died so soon, no one ever expected them to get finished. And no one thought that Vintage or New Eternia actually will finish vintage lineup.
I think the biggest disappointment was lack of snake men and maybe movie versions of MAA and Trela.
>>11803874 At least for me, it was because they were so hard to get, and the Chronicles figures are just better, so it's (so far) brighter times ahead. I'm sure if I was a completionist I'd be disappointed, but I didn't have a chance to get so many of the ones I thought looked really good, but at the same time the figures weren't good enough to pay scalped prices for.
>>11803874 Crossing my fingers this doesn't happen with 200x. I've only just started getting into the line this past month but I am ready and willing to go all in. If nothing else just let it last long enough for Marzo.
>>11803907 The 200x line makes zero sense when you think about it. They must’ve sculpted almost everything before even starting production so they could crank everything out to avoid the line abruptly ending before getting everything. The amount of figures we’ve gotten in less than a year is crazy.
>>11803925 Yeah it’s crazy how much product Mattel have churned out in such a short time. Unless I'm mistaken it's going to be 7 wave in the space of a year? That’s like a Marvel Legends level release schedule. I’ve only just gotten back into MOTU but I take it that isn’t typical of MOTU lines?
>>11803965 >>11803925 I was sleeping on it but 200X is arguably the best iteration of MOTU, so, fuck it. I also recently went all in on them. Excited for Mer-Man.
So Mattel's DC line is hitting stores. So long shitfarlane! It's good odds we get a 5.5 DC line next year, so, is anyone planning on getting this batmobile? I'd like to know if it can sit a 5.5
>>11804553 I didn't say you did, I told you to get back to your containment thread and wallow in it. Admitting you've got ESL reading comprehension on top of being a dcuck is not the gotcha moment you thought it was
>>11804596 I could take 3 slime guys at most. Zodac, Buzz-Off, and He-Man were in that one minicomic... and that was kino. The Cosmic Enforcer being slimed also raises a lot of questions- is he immune and just pretending? did someone get the drop on him? can he use all his cosmic power while slimed?
>>11803874 I think most just never expected it to go anywhere, it was unpopular from the start and took years to start making versions of the characters people even like. And the figures themselves still have issues they just can’t fix like the proportions and joint stiffness. If origins didn’t stick the landing as hard as it did initially most collectors probably would have given up on it too.
>>11804109 Should the slimed heman have the BA Armor like the art or just the standard He-Man? I mean they could pull the BA armor they used for MOTWWE to have it both ways I guess.
>>11804958 No. Concept Stratos is the feather collar version we saw in the minicomics. If you don't like normal Stratos, sketchbook version won't save him for you.
>>11805155 I figured they were just going to push the BA mold since it would permit them the chance to double dip on a vintage slime pit he-man down the road. Having said as much is anyone else surprised by how infrequently they use Faker? He was in origins early on, then popped up in masterverse twice, but he hasnt showed up since. Even Slaker was more of a turtle than a Faker. It'd be cool to see them give Faker the masterverse AE Heman treatment, and prioritize a fresh new mold for him.
>>11805273 Isn't the feather collar essentially with Vultak?
>>11805155 Hopefully the removable armor which isn't my favorite but easier to get classic slime He-man if they included a harness as well. I love that action gimmick, though. I can fuck around with that all day.
>>11805406 Barely changed from Core 2.0. Maybe the gear is more pronounced on the sculpt.
>>11805757 It wouldn't have mattered if mando came out the same week as He-man, the movie tanked because its a dead brand and nothing will ever revive it. >>11805790 Bleach, ammonia, bathtub, don't fuck this up anon
>>11805790 Meh for DC Core 6.5". Mattel should be doing Core 5.5" DC and 6.5" Chronicles style. Select figures in Origins to feed into the MOTU Origins and WWE Superstars/ MotWWEU (Origins) lines. Superman, Batman, WW, GL, Flash, Luthor, Grundy (Deluxe), Joker, Reverse Flash, Artemis, Ivy, Harley, Catwoman, Clayface (Deluxe)
I won a spot to a special showing of the movie tonight in NYC. There was a bag on each seat with a figure inside, I got Skeletor. I was sitting next to a family, Dad got He-Man, Mom got a skel-knight, and the daughter, a young girl in a She-Ra cosplay (real She-Ra, not netflix) got Skeletor. It was supposed to start around 7, but it was actually about 7:40 when first mattel's ceo came out and gave a corpospeak about brands, then Travis Knight came out and gave a moreso human speech about his childhood appreciation for MotU and making the movie, then they brought out the actresses for Sorceress, Evil-Lyn and Teela, and then the actor for He-Man for clapping and THEN started the movie.
The movie was great! Extremely true to MotU lore. I didn't take out my watch but the total earth screentime can't have been more than 15-20 minutes, and that's including the time with Teela and Beast Man present. It was mostly heartfelt, but there were occasional bits of ironic millennial style writing here and there. On the whole it was good, serious when it needed to be, funny, emotional. I really hope it kicks ass at the box office.
I don't want to drop major spoilers, especially when /toy/ has no spoilers, so just some small things >no mention of or reference to Keldor at all, nothing >Skeletor was fantastic, very serious threat, humor came from his hamminess and frustration with his minions >like three credit scenes (major bombshell there, really hoping for a sequel) plus a post credit one >Beast Man doesn't speak >best fight was probably He-Man vs Goat Man, Tri-Klops, Karg, Spikor, and Skel-knights >Dolph Lundgren has a very cute cameo
>>11806714 The messaging around the film is very mixed. We wont know what the public consensus is until friday at the earliest. Dont count He-man out just yet.
>>11806542 They race swapped many of the characters to please minorities... they fully clothed the female characters to not offend the lesbians... they even made He-Man a pretty boy to please the homosexual men.... and they still didn't like it.
>>11807008 You'd think with the turn to pre eternia that dinos would be a obvious choice but I've sat here for what, six years maybe and I still ain't got a dinosaur. Dino men would be awesome to replace the snake men
I plan to go out Thursday hunting for the drink Power Sword and maybe the popcorn castle before work. Won't get to see the movie until maybe Monday or Tuesday.
>>11807347 My worry about the movie originally was when Leto got announced as Skeletor I thought that meant he was unlikely to be silly because Leto takes himself too seriously and that meant he'd be a try-hard grimdark version of Skeletor, but the recent clip they put out proved that wrong and I'm excited for the movie again. MotU should be silly.
>>11807347 I am a bit worried after hearing Pixel Dan's initial review (he seemed to be holding back a lot of mixed thoughts), and Jeremy Jahns review (~80% of the time I agree with him). My cope is that I hope it'll at least be entertaining. And if I don't like the movie, then at least I have plenty to enjoy from the cartoons, comics, and toys.
>>11807347 It's not that Skeletor or other characters are silly. It's that the movie can't help itself, points at them and says "HEY ISN'T THIS GUY SILLY, LOOK HOW SILLY HE IS, LAUGH NOW AND CLAP, RETARDS!"
>>11807347 >>11807539 >Skeletor has always had silly moments from the 80s to even the 200X show. Those people have no fucking clue. This 100%. Honestly my main concern with the film is that Skeletor seemed too serious from the trailers. Part of what makes Skeletor a great villain is how campy he is.
Here's your core class movie grayskull/snake mountain clamshell playset. And Disco Skeletor even though we haven't gotten this recolor for the CC 200x or origins one. Fuck you Mattel.
>>11808155 I had to contact CS for two of my six figures from their latest same being absolutely a mess including really bad paint jobs and unglued parts. They're very good about trying to help. What's missing in yours, the weapons tray?
>>11807810 Hatter is just a hardcore fanboy even when he's not in character. I get echoing the community response to negatives and all as it's part of his character's job. All that matters to Amazon is box office success and sales. If it does middling, they'll probably still do a sequel just for the possibility of getting better results as Amazon wants content people talk about.
That Tomorrow War movie with Pratt was so meh, but Amazon promoted the shit out of it and greenlit a sequel fast for something that was just streaming. Amazon will be the deciding factor for MotU, not Mattel
>>11808166 1 of the extender pieces for the legs. Just waiting for a reply now! Maybe I shouldn't bother though... I love extendar but I hate the plug and play parts, I just extend the neck and torso and call it a day.
Running change fixed teeth chronicles Skeletor is in stock at Amazon, I just got one and have both to compare... If you're a chronicles guy you need this updated version.
>>11808195 I bought two Extendar figures, gave one all of the extensions and the other is just a fat armored bastard like Dung Eater from Elden Ring without the shit gimmick. He sits upon the ToG throne talking trash and wanting more food.
Btw, does anyone know if the 200X Stratos leg jets are supposed to be glued in? Mine only came with one leg jet and it isn't glued in at all so the other side is just a square gap.
>>11808236 >Btw, does anyone know if the 200X Stratos leg jets are supposed to be glued in? Mine only came with one leg jet and it isn't glued in at all so the other side is just a square gap. Definitely glued on mine.
>>11807842 >>11807846 I was just reading about this and I wondered what some of you guys thought of it. I think it's pretty damn nice from what I've seen so far, and seeing as how I never bought a origins playset I thought this would be a great choice...for core class....sigh. It does look nice though.
>>11808554 I highly doubt they wear these past a few minutes max. I suppose I'll find out tomorrow when I go myself and take the family to see it. Super excited
>>11806197 Saw the movie again tonight! Just a single correction, Beast Man DID speak, but it was only in one scene, I had forgotten it. Teela was so hot, I need her to sit on me.
>>11808694 >>11808691 Maybe. Still debating. Also no one around me has Chronicles He-man at the moment on the peg to pick a good QC armor set. Every Target restocked with fixed light blue Skeletor and Trap Jaw. Ended up buying the Fright Fighter and another Spikor this week to justify the hour drive to civilization to check.
It feels like everyone outside this thread is shitting on the movie. People are entitled to their opinions and criticisms but it sucks when you like something niche and get excited for everyone to be talking about it again.
>>11808805 I thought it was fun. It had some childish humour at points, but it's supposed to. The only scene I didn't like was the first gym scene, but the second gym scene was hilarious and I want to see an Origins figure of that.
>>11808774 >>11809039 the scene looked like either it was entirely AI generated, or shoved in last minute with a greenscreen and a random nobody actress- hence why you couldn't see her face at all.
>>11807842 The inside. comes with bone throne and power sword altar. Also some second level floors like the old playsets. I wonder how easy it;; be to seperate.
>>11808771 >>11809215 Spoilers are only bannable on boards that have spoiler tags. There's a cam rip of the movie online now so you might want to avoid this thread or social media in general until you get to watch it.
>watch the RLM review of the first MOTU movie >Rich Evans spends the whole thing complaining about Filmation >"I grew up with the toys and thought He-Man was basically just Conan!" >hates Cringer >calls Adam a "weirdo" with a pause where you can tell he's having to actively restrain himself from saying "gay" because that wouldn't fly with their audience I wonder if he's ever posted here?
>>11808805 I've seen some of that too, the only thing I will agree with is that much st kids don't know about motu and that maybe a movie isn't exactly the best way to introduce a new generation of kids to franchise. I agree with that idea, but y'know of my kid was younger and she knew of the figures I collected then I think it would help to flesh out eternia and make the figures easier to understand. Kinda hard to get excited about a half naked man and his battles against another half naked man who has a skull for a face.
On a totally different note I found this clip from the 80s during the satanic panic about how he man leads to or is devil worship. Haven't watched it yet but I thought one of you might laugh after seeing it. https://youtu.be/gtlNEZqvMhg
Great movie, a lot of fun the whole time. I get giving Skeletor the red eyes to help improve the character's emoting and so forth. Music was excellent. My wife kept saying how much she enjoyed the music and wished they had gone stronger with it once in Eternia to use it more effectively not unlike the '80s Flash Gordon movie. It was sometimes cheesy, it was sometimes serious, yet never got boring. Might consider rewatching it in a few weeks which is rare for us. Thor Love and Thunder suggestions is a disservice to it. I would say this is much closer to Thor 1's fish-out-of-water with bits of Ragnarok and Flash Gordon sprinkled in. Jared Leto was good, Alison Brie was amazing, the Man of He was charming and endearing. Idris did a great performance unlike when he mails it in during the Thor movies. Riverdale Teela was cute and effective, unlike the fears. A lot of design homage of 200X and some mixing of original with that. Battle Cat could have used a little more. Morena Baccarin could have been used a touch more, but still the cast was balanced well. James Purefoy was great despite how little he was in it. The rest of the Evil Warriors underlings didn't get enough lines to really develop beyond their battle moments.
Got the drink cup Sword of Power, but they wanted $62.99 plus tax for the Castle as a "popcorn/drink combo" so I blew it off since the manager wouldn't sell it any other way. Found the other color Core Skel-Knights finally at Target and the re-issue of Origins He-Man/Skeletor also at Target. Great day overall.
built my Eternia playset tonight! really not worth the $650 but I'm glad I have the grail here and set up. I've also been reading the prequel novel for the movie >Teela, Daughter of Eternos it seems that playset Eternia being heaven is an idea they're sticking to in this continuity, as Preternia is name dropped during a funeral in the first chapter or so. Also Andra is there. Otherwise it's a good book! It feels like they probably have a whole story bible written out that's a blend of Classics ideas and other sources that is dictating nu-canon/evergreen stuff. We'll probably see more of the movie continuity in the future...
>>11810059 >Teela, Daughter of Eternos Got that on my watch list if it goes on sale. I figure it's very YA, but sometimes the novel tie-ins are fun for some world building insights. Zodac getting named dropped in the movie with a religious context implied made me curious what the religion/lore behind the series was.
>>11809714 Now that the movie has been seen more people I actually am seeing normal posts and reviews and people who enjoyed it. I think I just fell for shitposts. Pic related, not mine.
>Kid running around saying Heman has more Power than Jesus with Teela >Christian dude is clearly hot for Teela lol oh boy
>>11800103 >Will nano figures catch on? I think they're great. Mattel just needs to do more of them in different themes. They are like a modern design of the old toy soldiers. With them having connecting strip that lock onto studs, they can also double as board game pieces. That's where I see them becoming popular.
>>11808993 Oh, that explains why he's not pre-posed.
Ok, since we're got an answer on Gygor, how about wrap up on nono figure teased Glup Shitto Squad?
>Gygor is stuffed statue >Goat Man is in the movie >Karg seems to be a real character too
What's about Pigboy, is he blink-and-you-miss-it easter egg with 5 seconds of screentime that only fans will notice or a real character with non-zero chance of getting an action figure?
>>11811012 This was never going to be reviewed by some reviewers and treated seriously. So expecting validation from strangers just because they have a YT account or blog, and the idiots at RT take them seriously and decide to count them, is just going to bring you heartache, son.
Just got back from the movie. I honestly enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's certainly it's own version of masters of the universe. Much how every version changes things a bit. But I think they do a great job making he-man in the modern day environment and respecting the source material. I really hope it gets a sequel to expand this movie universe.
Also the theater I went to had a light up skeletor bucket that looks fucking wicked.
>>11811259 I just got home myself It was fun. Not perfect, but then I never expected it to be. The entire first act was too long and too awkward at parts
But they got the things that counted the most right imo, and at the right times. Honestly, the tone of the movie felt very much like the CGI cartoon to me.
>>11811291 Fit a large what? Popcorn? I have no idea I am super happy they just gave me a regular bucket and didnt put the popcorn in the head. It fits a chronicles skeletor inside on its side
>>11811269 Why would you want something so scary and gross when you can have this beautiful and elegant floral He-Man? Clearly you are suffering from a severe soi deficiency. Seek medical evaluation immediately!
>>11811269 This would be the worst selling Sketchbook type figure ever at Target if the green head and armor weren't displayed to the side in the packaging. Make him look like generic zombie servant of Skeletor with add-on gear to make different creatures
>>11811354 Coral Skeletor is one if the best Skeletor variants ever though. I love the idea of artist figures they just need maybe someone who does badass shit that looks like it's out ofHeavy Metal or something
