Thread question: what's your favorite evil duo?
>>11443720>Jeffrey Combs voicing Modulok in a new MotU cartoon...fund it.I could swear we fancasted this years ago when a Revelation sequel was confirmed to be about the Horde. Then the Revolution writers were assholes who didn't include him.
>>11443871 (OP)>Thread question: what's your favorite evil duo?Rattlor and Tung Lashor.
>>11443612>>11443618GBW strikes me as more of a potential Snake Lair pack in the anything else. Axel has positioned him that way, at any rate
>>11443871 (OP)god damn mondo's stuff is beautiful
i really hope their 1/12 line does well i just can't justify the space this 1/6 stuff takes up
>>11443930Why does he come with a gun but no trigger hand
That new Skelra body would have been the perfect base for Shreddetor as well. Hoping we get a fanchannel eclusive of it one day along with regular snakefoot soldiers without the deluxe parts.
The Year of the Turtle is coming to a close, but the Snakes live on
Anyone have the TMNT Skeletor to compare it to a Star Wars Black Series figure?
Specifically, I was thinking of using his cape for a potential custom but I can't tell if the scaling would look off on a BS figure if it's too wide or too short.
>>11444075BS is basically 6" and Skeletor there is just over 5.5", but the Marvel Legends Hope figure with a cape would fit better because Bonehead's is going to be very wide
>https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-X-Mens-Summers-Figure-Inches/dp/B006CD09UU
>>11444107Damn, so I imagine the top would look really wide on the shoulders of a BS figure because of the buff bodies right?
>>11444115Correct, it'll hang off the shoulders alot

Based on the classic animated series, the upcoming comics will thrill readers as the Sharks protect Fission City from a range of gene-slammed threats, including super-strong and monstrous lobsters and squids, and diabolical mad scientists that transform into vicious piranha monsters. The comic will deliver on everything fans loved from the hit show and the tone of its era, from the Sharks riding cool motorcycles to eating a lot of burgers and metal while swimming through the cityโs concrete to take down the bad guys.
โCelebrating over 30 years of the animated series, Street Sharks has become a cult-favorite and fans have been chomping at the bit to see more of the crime-fighting brothers Ripster, Jab, Streex, and Big Slammu,โ said Ryan Ferguson, Global Head of Publishing at Mattel, in a press release. โWe are thrilled to continue the legacy of this franchise and dive deeper into the waters with IDW to extend the world of Street Sharks through new comic books.โ
โIt is so exciting to introduce a new generation of fans to the Street Sharks,โ added series editor Nicolas Niรฑo. โThe Sharks epitomize '90s adolescent X-treme sensibilities and that makes them translate so naturally to comics. Stephanie and Ariel are putting together a series that serves as a beautiful love letter to the original cartoon that old fans and new are sure to adore.โ
Street Sharks #1 will be released in September 2025.
>>11444196Big Slammu and Moby Lick will be big gay black dudes.
Streex will be the toke genderswap character.
>>11444196>idwWoke alert
>check social media for people writing this Yep woke alert
>>11444196The moment I saw IDW was puhblishing it all hope was lost. I just want mattel to release rhe remaining figures already.
>>11444063PSA to Origins collectors: your Ollie's probably still has Ric Flairs for $4. That can be a robe for anyone plus a Caucasian donor body for any unused alt heads you like.
>>11444532I got one a few weeks ago. I wonder how far theyve spread, like is ric nation wide or regional? Im in the so il area and that store had tons of flairs, how many did they make and why are all wal mart exclusives handled by people who wear their pants on their heads? Seriously, wm exclusives are the weirdest thing in toys.
Just pants on head levels of wtf are you doing. Why cant it be mutated mer man or moss man or krang? Watch the foot clan king hiss is gonna flood out, even though walmart cancelled both of orders THEN did a deal with bbts. Its nothing new, its been like this since the line started as a wal mart exclusive, so i really shouldnt whine about it but damn man.
Ofcourse now i remember i forgot to grab that wwe great muta i wanted....
>>11444756Classic Walmart bullshit, I donโt even preorder from them anymore because they just cancel everything anyway.
>>11444196>IDW>Niรฑo>Stephanie >and ArielLOL. LMAO.
>>11445481Oh.
Oh no.
https://www.whysteph.com/about
>>11445568Impressive rap sheet.
im trying to figure out, If Mattel would finally start spilling Horde the way the do snakes, which would be likely, aside from brand new OCs.
Obviously, none of them are as cheap as some Axel Originals but it feels like Dylamug, Wrap Trap, The Brain seem like the only ones that feel completely unlikely. Imp admiteddly only for as statue, maybe with moving hands or head. Cy-Chop depends if it's possible to retool Roboto's torso with new head cheaply. And Im not sure about Succubug, maybe if she's gets new torso and then wide male hips and limbs? But Entrapta, Scorpia, Octavia, Horde Prime, Colonel Blast, Horde Wraith, Callix, and Tarangela all sounds doable.
Is everyone displaying Mumm-Ra's cape wrong? I thought it was red on the outside, purple on the inside.
>>11445870>the only ones worth making are also the ones "completely unlikely"
>>11445481>>11445568>>11445591Literally street shark revelations. Thanks mattel...
>>11445886What do you want me to say, you like them because they're fucked up freak that require a lot of new tooling.
Would you prefer over Entrapta, Octavia or Callix another Snake Man but this one will all-new parts?
>>11445874I think it's meant to be reversible...red for when he's Mumm-Ra, purple for when he's Skeletor
>>11445874His cape is supposed to be that way in the cartoon but it looks pretty weird on a flat plastic cape so they decided red is on the front
>>11445870I think someone like Callix would be just as expensive for Mattel as Dylamug. There's some parts sharing between the women, but that's it I think.
And Horde Prime has had so many different looks, they could just kitbash him from existing parts and it wouldn't be "wrong".
Mattel likes using dresses over a "nude" torso for CC girls, so I'm not sure how they'd engineer the connectors for Octavia's 4 tentacles, but if they do, at least that torso or overlay could be used 3 times: Octavia, Sketchbook Series Octavia, Tarangela.
>>11445942They way they did it in Classics, he has new lower arms, hands, upper and lower boots and rest was just body armor.
>>11445947I just don't know if they'd do that NOW though.
>>11445947Not ideal imo, because "octopus woman" and Tarangela are supposed to have the normal Horde symbol.
If they made tooner Octavia first with her tooner Horde symbol and reused that for the other two, it'd spoil them.
>>11446045I can think of a hundred better uses for new bodies than Succubug.
>>11445870There are still some left.
The one I want most. So of course he's the most expensive for a toy company to make.

>>11446178Megator? The model kit drivers?
>>11446186You are right. Some might be not Horde?
>>11446062Itd be nice to finish out more vintage figures before we dive into the fetish fuel. A monster lady would be really nice though, we do not have any monster ladies. Just slim women and chick with a tail so far.
>>11446213Crazy how Snake Teela is actually more monstrous than Lady Slither She at least has scales, fangs and weird eyes.
>>11446186>>11446192If you're a Classics bio lorefaggot, yes, they are Horde
>>11446368muh heckin' seckin' ultimate battleground, dontchaknow
>>11446184Better start begging Mattel for him so that sweet "parts reuse" appeal rubs off on Multi-Bot
Please, Daddy Mattel, make Golden Rod asap so we can maybe possibly if it's not too much trouble get Multi-Bot...in 3 years
>>11446406That's enough to make me quit MotU.
>>11446406>Daddy MattelI'm glad that someone else is using the meme I tried to force. Maybe together we can meme Golden Rod into existence.
In much of the motu fan fiction I write, Roboto usually gets brought along on adventures primarily to be the overnight lookout. Some other robots to add some variety and spice things up. Especially one that might have some shifting alliances.
No, nothing I write is erotic. Unless you count He-Man and Frosta being in a healthy marriage.
>>11446416I kinda want Golden Rod to be in the next batch of reveals solely to call your bluff and see if you really do it
>>11446406Need this and Mighty Specter so Golden Rod can use his penis weapon
>>11446695>Maybe together we can meme Golden Rod into existenceI've mentioned that I've changed my opinion from "fuck Goldenrod" to "Goldenrod/Mighty Spector two pack please" a couple of times now.
This is the way it needs to be. I can't accept him as a Snake. I can only accept him is as Scott's gay robotic time travel companion. No compromises.
>>11446778>Deadpool and C-3PO time travel adventuresI'm ok with this in /motu/
Calling it now: next collab after Thundercats is Street Fighter.
SF is as much as a crossover whore as Ninja Turtles.
>>11447222I already said I'm on board with this if they use soft goods gis to do He-Man as Ken and Wun-Dar as Ryu. Just make the main release Dictator blue instead of red to fit an alternate Hordak head. Adora as Cammy.
>>11446695>In much of the motu fan fiction I write, Roboto usually gets brought along on adventures primarily to be the overnight lookout.Yeah, he'd be super useful to a team.
>No, nothing I write is erotic. Unless you count He-Man and Frosta being in a healthy marriage.Oh that's delightful. I'd read it.
>>11447263Man the bootleggers really destroyed those molds.
SF ร MOTU seems like a stretch for Mattel. Turtles is atleast currently hot, while SF is struggling to retain relevancy year over year. There are talks of a movie in the next few years but outside of the core SF audience it's hard to say if there's much of an opportunity for success there. Same with the MOTU movie. I expect to see a DC ร MOTU crossover line after Thundercats.
>>11447287DC characters in Origins bodies would be exciting. I need regular, classic Superman to fight both He-Man and Muhammad Ali.
>>11445870>>11445942>>11445947>>11446176I dunno how popular a take this'll be considering the feelings about the show, but I'd be down for Origins to reimagine Mistress Motherboard.
I overall like the concept but there's a few tweaks I'd like to see made. The biggest one being the "eagle" theming. Kinda prefer characters to have their own style rather than bite someone else's. I'd be fine with her being a normal sized figure too, even though her being a giantess is part of the appeal
>>11447287>DC ร MOTU crossover line after Thundercats.>>11447290>DC characters in Origins bodiesI kinda don't want a MOTU corssover and more of a WW SuperStars line for DC heroes. Just classic costumes on the origin buck or more than likely the CC buck heck just use all the origins parts including the new bodies from TC and TOGS. I just want the Super Friends and Legion of Doom in origins style.
>>11447415>Just classic costumes on the origin buck That's honestly what I expect the crossover to do. By the time it releases Super Friends will celebrate its 55th anniversary. Not taking advantage of that to push the classic designs would be a huge waste.
All this talk about bucks made me realise they still havent used again slim body they made for Mantenna.
So what do we expect on SDCC?
If CC and Thundercats continue, then some of their figures.
200X for sure
Hopefully two or more vintages
Fright Zone
And that stupid Snake Lair might get another go.
>>11447555New movie figures?
Those have to be on pegs by May and I'm blanking on other big trade shows between SDCC and then.
>>11447565New York Toy fair is in Feb or March. That'd be time, if they aren't at sdcc
>>11447555>So what do we expect on SDCCDisappointment
>>11447555>havent used again slim body they made for Mantenna.Dont worry CC Lizard Man still needs to get made and they'll use that slimmer torso, arms and legs for sure.
>>11447402I wouldn't mind if they just threw her to hasbro for the eventual transformers crossover. Reuse that Airazor mold and you've got a great Screech toy that transforms into a lady. Better yet, just grab pic related and that can just be your Screech.
>>11447415>Super friends and legion of doomif Mattel does this in a 5.5 style I'll be all over it.
>>11447555>Fright Zone>Thundercats wave 3 and 4>Glimmer and another CC wave>A vintage and a CC for MCscreenshot it
>>11447555I dont expect anything id truly be excited for, maybe a name only reveal for a 26-27 figure. Id be curious if any movie stuff got shown off, maybe a movie playset piece since im really interested in how mattel handles the movie tie in toyline.
>>11447665Oof, i truly havent liked any of the tf cross overs yet. I came close to getting stalker and hound but im still mad that hasbro killed off the modern style line of gi joe and went with o rings. I like your screech idea, but id like to see some mini bots that 'power up' figures more. But thatll never happen since hasbro just hates mini bots i guess.
>>11447287>Man the bootleggers really destroyed those molds.>Implying
>>11446778Sorry bud, I haven't really been reading these threads for the last couple months. I am cool with whatever gets the Spector made though.
Definitely the figure Im most excited for for the TC collab. Hoping we get Panthro in wave 3.
>>11447998He's definitely what I want out of crossovers. Him, battle armor Hulk, and mutated He-Man are some of the best.
>>11447998He needs a backpack with a Battlecub in it.
>>11447838look like they're carved out of wood
He-Ro sucks. No great mystery why this Preternia stuff got shitcanned.
On a QC note, while he's fine and isn't broken, mines body is loose. He wobbles if I shake him a little. Feels cheap like my other Origins don't.
Didn't come with any extra hands. I bet Mattel has barrels (or crates) full of alternate hands from WWE stuff just sitting around a warehouse. Not that I don't have random containers of hands already but Mattel shouldn't be presumptuous that I would.
But the real problem is that as a character he's boring. Maybe the vac metal raises him a bit but nothing about him reads like Motu. Maybe if he was from a KO line he would be the coolest of the usually bland human good guys.
He looks closer to NA He-Man with his golden fruit boots. Maybe its because he wobbles but his whole style comes off like dollar store legally distinct Super Man. "Please buy me I'm shiny!"
But it gets worse. On a conceptual level he sucks to. So he looks like a generic super hero but he's a spell caster? He's got this clunky wand that I don't get how it would work as a weapon. Even if the action feature worked and it opened up....then what? He casts LIT3...ok that's good but he looks like a brawler. He comes across as legally distinct Supes who I want to have punching hands so he can slam into blue Rattlor.
Oh yeah Preternia has even more snakes than regular Eternia? Fuck Daddy yes lets start a snake specific Motu subline because we don't already have enough. (Snakey and Lord Grab get a pass.)
Eldor is boring to. He should have been given the wand! Sharella could have been alright but there isn't really creative about her. Maybe she will have huge cans and that might be enough for this boomer.
I called him legally distinct twice...shit.
u/spez how do I edit?
>>11448058I completely agree that he's a very boring character and I was thinking about this today. He needs to raise the stakes for the narrative, and he can't do that when he's just a goodie goodie.
If anything, I'd like his heroic faction to become another villain faction for He-Man. Make He-Ro and Eldor want to steal the power from He-Man, while still being heroes themselves, they need to provide some hurdle that only Prince Adam can overcome- not He-Man.
>>11448058>Oh yeah Preternia has even more snakes than regular Eternia? Fuck Daddy yes lets start a snake specific Motu sublineBased. Snakes riding dinosaurs with guns mounted on them is kino.
>>11448069I'm more worried about why the Play Doh is there.
>>11447565>New movie figures?i want to be excited for these, but It'll probably just be Mattel's in house design team on a Masterverse buck.
>>11448058>Hates He-Ro on a conceptual level>But still bought the figure>For which he would've been obligated to pay extra for to get the membership to buy him in the first place>Said membership will only net him two other Preternia figures that he also hates
>>11448069Whats going on here?
>u/spezIs this what reddit is like?
>>11447998Shouldn't he be riding He-Man?
>>11447287>SF ร MOTU seems like a stretch for Mattel.Wasn't for Funko
>>11448783What are those?
>>11448839NTA but those are Mighty Maniax
>>11448705I'd forgotten all about these. Man I really wish the savage world lines werent so cheaply made because they all looked great.
FWIW I'd still like to see Thundarr, Bravestarr, or Blackstar get a shot in origins.
>>11448783>>11448839they're ok, not great. way overpriced even as an indie thing
>>11447998Would the Cringer head fit on that body?
>>11448909would be great with an eye patch
nearly 2 months til sdcc and then it'll be 10 months until the movie.
>>11449016Less than 2months.
It's on July 24th. That's only 6 weeks and change
>>11448389Fuck I know, I KNOW
>was hoping I'd like him once he was in hand
>>11449133If it's consolation, I'm close to making the same mistake with Fang Man
>He's my least favorite of the Filmation Evil Warriors>and I hate the way CC figures look in general >but he's the first new Evil Warrior since fucking Spikor two years ago.>team skelly needs new blood, maybe I WON'T hate him if I buy him or can salvage him witb parts swapping?
>>11448705Man I loved the Savage World stuff. My kids still play with the Batcave constantly. It's exactly what you want out of a playset.
In my experience Savage World hold together better than Primal Age. I've got a pile of broken DC dudes but at least their gear is pretty nice for swapping.
The worst part about Savage is that they don't grip their weapons for shit.
>>11448100For me He-Ro is kind of like a Zap Brannigan type. Loud, flashy and annoys the shit of out Wun-Dar. More the type to show up at the last second and claim they did it all and saved the day.
I like what you were thinking about Man and Ro being antagonistic though, my mind went there with Sun Man.
>>11448702>>11448715>picrel
>>11449152It's a tough call.
Has there been an Origins skeletor with a body colour that would work with Fang Man's head?
Side note, I wish I had gotten CC He-Man for the extra sword - Keldor is desperate for it. I like him way to much to leave him with a generic longsword.
>>11449208If I had known what I know with hindsight, I'd have bought He-Skeletor for that purpose. I know he's not as pale as normal Skeletor so maybe he matches the shade of blue Fang Man has. Plus his bracers are gold so it's "close enough" to Fang Man's orange ones
>>11449208>>11449480Just make him Reptilax's brother and just like him give him body that doesn't match his head. Like Trap Jaw.
These thundercats figures look so good. Why couldn't ToG have been like this? Cheetara along mogs the shit out of every turtle and April.
>>11449660something tells me playmates told them that they weren't allowed to do the classic designs the way the thundercats figures include them
doesn't mattel still own thundercats? they can do whatever they want with it
>>11448564>>11448567GOD I LOVE MOVIE FIGURES
>>11448227You're right but I'm not going to pay $30 for a custom head that I won't notice when it's on the shelf
>>11448227We oughta hook this guy with frosta, they may hit it off and enjoy each others unique qualities
>>11449879More like 10 to 15. last year it was 15 shipped from singapore and before that 3 for 30 + shipping
>>11449913>Last yearWell it's not last year anymore, sadly
>>11449874Mattel never owned Thundercats, WB owns Thundercats.
>>11450449ok retard do you wanna add anything to that? Or did you just sperg out at my comment because turtles are your special interest?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MeMhYjn9cE
>>11450484Don't respond to neccy
>>11445481So don't buy the brand, asshole. Name 1 major toy brand that isn't woke.
Hell, old episodes of The Rifleman are extremely woke. Get the fuck over it.
I want my toys... NOW!!!!
>>11451167We have toys at home
>>11451193Yes but I want that Tygra he looks cool.
It's kinda fun not knowing if this crossover will be just the 7 figures they showed off or 20+
Origins ladies night. Ready for Sharella. I think everyone is here so far except wave 1 teela, I do have the new knees but is still on card, also not counting crossovers
>>11451391Oops forgot about purple lynn. Oh well
>>11451391kek what are they pre gaming for? This reminds me we still need an Evil Lyn without that first wave derp face. She really looks bad compared to the other Origin girls, especially CC Lyn.

>>11451542Mine aren't on a shelf, so here's my display, such as it is
>>11451391Frosta really does look like a retard back there, lmao. They really fucked up the face.
>>11451559>especially cc LynMaybe it's just my bias, but wave 1 looks way better. Don't get me wrong, I'll be fair, and say that wave 1 Lyn looks worse than Teela, Sorceress, Slither, and hell, even CC She-Ra and Teela, but I'll take her over tooner Lyn any day.
>>11451542Gimmie till tomorrow, i always enjoy seeing others collections.
>>11451542Still a work in progress. Moving some stuff around so ignore the boxes on the bottom. I have as many if not more origins figures but with castle grayskull, snake mountain, and snake mountain ring that collection has to live in the closet at the moment.
>>11451841>Frosta really does look like a retard back there, lmao.Which PoP retard should they sculpt looking really smart to balance it out?
>>11451886your masterverse shelf leads me to wonder how many anons itt have a sizeable collection of classics figures
>>11451949It's too late for Bow. He already looks shit.
Maybe they can nail Glimmer...but if they fuck her up too, I think it'll be just as well to write PoP off and drop it as a lost cause
>>11452486In all fairness Bow is the best one to have look like a retard. Catra and She-Ra are solid B-tier figures so I'm ok with Frosta looking a bit downy.
>>11452486This isnt an official image is it? Idk, maybe i was expecting a slimmer sized chest but something isnt clicking for me. Maybe its just my unfamiliarity with etheria in general and this is what a grizzled battle weary warrior looks like there.
>>11453000It is. We saw him at Toy Fair. That's really what he looks like
>>11453005Oh. Ok. Not disappointed so its a situation where i just didnt know b what to expect.
I was cleaning my storage area and i found a random mc box, im guessing its demo man. Idk, ill open it after dinner since i know what it isnt and the newer releases all tell you whats in the box.
>>11453260Anyone remember the moss man bullshit? Why or how can one company like#walmart be so shit at orders and disrobution? Anyway its dusty from a year of disappearance since i thought it was boxed up
>>11453813Fuck, you're lucky US anon I never saw him up here in Leafland and still need to pay a scalper twice the retail price at some point.
is there any chance masterverse movie Beastman and Blade might go back up for preorder? their second hand prices are ridiculous right now
>>11454039It was shit show here too iirc. I think the store just had an extra case months later so i got him cheap.
Do you think Skeleton Warriors limbs could be reused for bug characters to make something like 200X Buzz-Off?
>>11454813>wings>extra limbs>grappling hookMan, his back would be so heavy.
Ok, im not the only one that wouldve bpught some these am i?
Ace, baxter and usagi were all in my hopeful catagory. I get why they passed usagi but baxter or rat king especially woul dve been nice
Love that Usagi lost his hand so he put on metal prostetic and kept his hand as good luck charm.
>>11454807https://ebay.us/m/rvEngQ
>>11454803This is so good. Would have paid scalper price.
>>11455046Damn that looks good
>>11454039It's a shame you didn't grab him off Amazon US last year. I got him for $20 plus fuck all shipping because I was buying other stuff. Now the cheapest one is $37.
>>11454374I'm not sure. I missed Beastman somehow. He came into stock at BBTS and I checked every few days and he barely moved, and then I forgot to check for a week and he was suddenly sold out. I saw how fast Blade was moving the day they put him up for preorder and decided I wasn't going to risk it. They seem to have really cut back on Masterverse order qty recently. Ninjor was another one that sold out crazy fast.
>>11455175You found one too. Whats going on with randor, i want to imagine its the king jerry lawler but hes not getting a figure.
>40 days til SDCC where we'll hopefully see new toys
>general is slower than /amg/
I miss that anon who used to post his Trapjaw without his torso. Just the head resting on top of the legs. I wonder what /motu/ will be like when the movie is out.
>>11455790Hoping we see the mutants for the TC collab. Maybe news for the Snake Lair update. CC Panthor and Battlecat along with Swift Wind and Adora would be nice to see.
>>11455790>I wonder what /motu/ will be like when the movie is outWell, the first trailer will release in either november for thanksgiving or december attached to avatar 3, so I'm sure there will be an influx of new posters here. Will be interesting when we get the first look, right now the film seems to be faithfull and I trust Knight, we shall see. MotU is also lucky because Avengers Doomsday got delayed.
>>11455825MotU starts to have a lot of good things for it to succeed:
>great cast>Travis Knight has a good track record and is a big fan>theatrical exclusive release>$200+ million budget>no strong competition since Avengers Doomsday got delayed to december, the only competition it has is Mandalorian and Grogu and Supergirl
>>11455838couple this with practical effects for costumes (so far) and filming on set in real castles and caves in the UK. Dare I hope? The Castle Grayskull set looks awesome.
>>11455842I'm very excited for this film, let's hope it's good
>>11455854I can't believe how many cast members are already done filming...Trap Jaw, Tri-klops, Mekaneck, Moss Man, the child versions of Adam and Teela and the Earth friend Susie have all said they wrapped up their scenes
>>11455940They probably don't appear a lot in the film, they filmed their scenes that were needed with the actors. The film has a pretty big lineup of characters, like even Spikor is in the film according to John Campea, so is Beast Man and we might see Hordak for a Skeletor flashback for his origins. I think this film will be something special.
>>11455984>The film has a pretty big lineup of characters, like even Spikor is in the film according to John Campea,I feel like this is going to be as shallow as all the cameos in the Rev cartoons, but seeing Spikor as a live action practical effect still sounds special.
>>11455984>They probably don't appear a lot in the film, they filmed their scenes that were needed with the actorsThen it delights me that Hafthor hasn't made a similar statement so he must have lots more scenes
>Goat Man will be more important to this movie than Trap Jaw or Tri-klops
>>11455967Well this toy certainly snuck up on the fandom.
>>11455999>Goat Man will be more important to this movie than Trap Jaw or Tri-klopsYeah, that's pretty exciting. Between Filmation, 200X, Revelation and CGI, surely we've seen most imaginable permutations of the Skeletor, Beast Man, Mer-Man, Evil-Lyn, Trap Jaw and Tri-Klops dyads than Skeletor himself with any other Evil Warrior. Tell me a MotU story where the main evil dynamics are Skeletor, Goat Man and Blast-Attak as the muscle, Spikor as the one crafting gear, the demon Whiplash as second spellcaster, and, uh, since it's always so much fun seeing Skeletor in a relationship, reimagine Crita as an Eternian?
Playmobil will release MotU toys in 2026
>>11456018Plausible.
I probably won't buy.
>>11456011>Skeletor, Goat Man and Blast-Attak as the muscle, Spikor as the one crafting gear, the demon Whiplash as second spellcasterSpikor and Blast-Attak are in my top five Evil Warriors, so this would be as close to a dream scenario as I'm likely to get
(Swap Whiplash for Clawful and it'd be even better)
((My last top 5 excluding Skeletor himself is Trap Jaw, but since you're specifically listing guys outside the main crew, I won't suggest swapping him))
>>11455967I heard about this, kinda suprised mattel didnt send an email, i could see myself grabbing one on an impulse if i saw it in person.
>>11456001All the previous cross overs have been other properties visiting eternia in stead of motu visting their toy lines so far. A teela or sorceress would be really really neat.
Ive completely lost all my sense now, im willing to buy motu flavored barbie dolls as a 44 year old man. Ill be put on a list for sure now.
>>11455175This makes me want to do my own Vince. Placeholder head.
>>11455967The SDCC one from a few years back was better.
>>11455940>>11455984Teela has just finished filming now too
I doubt Teela will be a small role, so I think they're probably almost done filming entirely..which is wild to me because it doesn't seem like the started all that long ago.
Motu needs a Halloween special. I want to see both heroic and evil warriors get lost in the fright zone while the horde scares them.
https://foreternia.com/2025/06/thats-a-wrap-reports-indicate-masters-of-the-universe-movie-has-completed-filming-moves-to-post-production
>>11457206A little less than one year now to do CGI and edit the film then.
Happy Kings Day from Jerry Lawler and Vince McMahon
This is K-Reacher, my sleep paralysis demon.
Sometimes you have to just ignore the commands of your Evil Overlords and go fishing.
>still waiting on NE Teela
>>11457283Nice to meet you. I have night terrors, myself.
>>11457206This movie is going to be so embarrassing.
>>11457696dats sum nice titty sculpting on Lynn
>>11457696Man I really hate that heman headsculpt. Those plastic surgery cheeks are so awful.
I guess we'll be seeing pics of Sharella by the end of the week. They can't leave it any later than Saturday to build a little hype, right?
>>11457227I now want to find audio of vince and jerry calling a match
I would buy this and a couple more
>>11457683Where'd you get the fishing rod?
>>11458116Actually, yeah, why aren't there more horse-critters in MOTU? Seems like an easy thing to do.
>>11457996>I now want to find audio of vince and jerry calling a matchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsY_MaBuzeY
They did Wrestlemania X off the top of my head. Hart v Hart match is great
>>11458277Thanks bud! Ill watch this after work.
Wwe vault had a video about furface you may like if you enjoy weirdo bs wrestling stuff.
I wish they'd give us a figure to homage this He-Geoffrey.
>>11458116>>11458391Both of these seem like incredibly obvious opportunities for crossover collab figures. The sort of shit that should be reserved for conventions and E-tail. TRU having made it's comeback fairly recently and Mattel already working with Hasbro it's odd that nobody is thinking of shit like this in matty HQ
>>11457852It's grown on me. If the jaw wasn't so fat and the deco was better, I'd like it a lot more.
>>11458430>music score begins as we see a shadowed figure rising up. Heart pounding noises, slow motion scenes. Suddenly the music swells and the church chorus picks up>Twenty five years...and my life is still...trying to get up that great big heal of hoooope...

>>11458485Not bad. It'll do
>>11458391What's that frog hopper thing
Had an Ollie's coupon to use and they had Ultimate Million Dollar Man/Ricky Steamboat for $24.99. Great for parts. Ricky came with a black Karate Gi top and that stupid red pants '70s Hogan has cloth black pants so now a full uniform can be done for Ricky.
>>11457091>Adam, Orko, Cringer and Teela get stuck in the Fright Zone without weapons>Skeletor sees this as the perfect opportunity and sends Beast Man after them>they all wind up getting chased around Scooby Doo style while having to stop Teela from trying to fight Grizzlor etc. Scrappy Doo style>>11457683>>11457684He's just searching for his next evil minion, obviously.

Just some random stuff with jerry telling a vince story and then vince doing a memphis promo. Vince uses memphian like amphibian so it got me thinking of mer manian, like a name for the people of the oceans mer man rules. Is hr a ruler or a warlord of the oceans?
>>11458485I actually hope it succeeds so that I can keep getting masterverse shit. They've been really knocking it out of the park.
>>11458675It'll go about as well as the Snake Eyes movie I imagine.
>>11458485i wish he was more buff but the haircut looks legit
>>11458688Depends on how much money they actually put into this and how willing they are to make it look fantastical. Snake Eyes just looked like a forgettable action movie that barely had GI Joe imagery.
>>11458825I have no doubt that both of them are just lousy original scripts that someone wanted to make and they're just using the franchises as a skin.
>>11458825Snake Eyes was hit by that shit production, but also the story end of it was also fucked from the start
>the character known for being a faceless and mute ninja was an unmasked guy who talked>didn't even look like the character until the very end of the movie when the plot had wrapped up.>>11458688No matter how much anon doomposts about it there's absolutely no way in hell this movie can fuck up as badly as Snake Eyes did.
>>11458872They've got the visuals on point, so that's one thing this one is doing better than Snake Eyes. If the plot is a skinwalker, well, that remains to be seen.
>>11458899Motu is too high concept to be shaped into something else. This movie is going to have to spend a good bit of time just setting up the magic sword and Eternia before it can be anything else besides a generic 'stop skeletor's plot. All we can hope for is that they learned the right things from GotG/Ragnarok and that no one on that set has worked on a transformers movie.
>>11458899>visuals on pointNo, I don't think they do
>>11458905>transformers movieTravis Knight directed Bumblebee (2018)
>>11458920>red hair>white skin>boob armor>nice assWhat's the problem?
>>11458972Everything else?
>>11458982And the hairdo, and the armor, and the colors, and the pants, and the weapons
>>11459010Teela 's had different hairstyles before, and she's used guns before. So unless you're going to say every version except vintage toy is wrong, those aren't complaints. And if you ARE a vintage toy purist, there's never been a good Teela so why complain now?
And the colors aren't even wrong. It's white and bronze like it's supposed to be so I don't even know what your complaint there is.
Let's be real, the only thing you're genuinely hung up on is
>the pantsbecause that's what it always comes back to whenever ANY MotU character is given pants
>>11458920They really could've tried harder.
>>11459010Cmon man, there has to be some room to adapt. You have to consider that one, this movie is meant to broaden the motu fanbase while also appeasing old heads in addition to being entertaining but also to push more toys. We will always have our old toon teela and that teela isnt in the movie.
>>11459066The 87 movie costume was unfaithful to everything else and I wouldn't count it.
26 movie is white and bronze but it looks like they bought a pair of tight pants and a half-zip sweater vest and added the bronze as tape. It feels like something you might do on a school play budget.
>>11459066It's not just the pants, the design is genuinely uninspired and dull. If you didn't know they were making a Motu movie and just happened to see that image, you'd assume it was some CW superhero slop.
>>11459103Yeah that went over so well for the Netflix series.
MC exclusive on the 24th. Sharella
>>11459264Not sure about this one
>>11459291I'm sure...
Because I didn't buy their membership and I'm not gonna so I'm not allowed to buy her in the first place lmao
>>11459264Itd be really neat to use this a debut for a female body variation. But given the movie teela discussion perhaps we are just to scared of any change.
>>11459317Mattel likely using the barbie style torso from the CC teela. The top looks like a seperate piece. CC women have been getting overlays instead of a fully sculpted torso like the CC Shera. Here the custom one posted in the article at toyhabits.
Sharella with a new armor bra and blonde hair could be Battleground Teela.
>>11459340But we never had a woman with exposed stomach with that torso. So if it's removable, we'll getting first torso with painted-on bra.
>faster Evil-Lyn! I want to shoot another palace guard!
>>11459412Probably. The paint is easy to take off so Teela, Catra and Frosta could all be nude under their overlays if you wanted.
https://youtu.be/-1wxSpIiVvk?t=548
>>11458899>>11458920>>11459094What you would want in a faithful MotU adaptation is a fit caucasian girl, something like a very young Brigitte Nielsen.
But what options do we have today besides Wrestlemania and Gina Carano?
Talent scouts are a thing of the past apparently and why put effort into something if you have to follow a rulebook anyway.
You got the best possible Hollywood Teela which is an ethnically ambivalent brat like nuAstrid or that chick from Harry Potter. Best case scenario she's not a Zegler level retard. We could just as well ended up with Zendaya. So instead of downright diarrhea you get the most polished turd possible in current times.
As for the pants, it's obvious the Teela we got is no fitgirl, let alone warrior material and
suspension of disbelieve aside, if you're not exercising rigorously then cellulite is inevitable.
Pants are cheaper than cgi skincare.
>>11459846Camila Mendes is plenty fit, women of her age and status post thirst trap shit on social media all the fucking time. I'm sure she would've had no problem wearing something a little more revealing. But again, it's not even just the pants (as retarded as they look), it's simply a shitty design. Give her some ornate armor and a cool hairdo and it would look a million times better.
>>11459846Think again bitch!!!
>>11458920>visuals on point>No, I don't think they doYeah this does have me bit worried, why is she wearing a gold spray painted bodysuit? I hope they're planning on some sort of post production enhancements that will make this look better in the final film.
>>11459935>I hope they're planning on some sort of post production enhancements that will make this look better in the final film.Almost every superhero movie redoes the costume in post. The set costumes are mostly placeholders because they're going to keep altering it until the movie is out.
>>11459922you should google fit female.
>>11459850>>11459922Not being a hamplanet does not equal fit.
This woman does not look like she trained 1 day to be teela.
>>11458920The guy who played Adam had to get ripped and she had to not get any fatter
Why aren't the strong women in Hollywood ever actually strong? Lacking even the slightest bit of muscle definition
>>11459846I mean costume-wise, could we get something that doesn't look like it came from Party Galaxy? Put a little more LOTR money into it?
>>11460058Because Hollywood is ran by homosexuals and women.
>>11459340I have noticed that catra and frosta were diffrent than origins women, but i was thinking like wider hips or bigger arms etc. Eventually mattel will have to change up the base recipe, you cant just throw a bag over an evil lyn give her a new head and say its shadow weaver you know what i mean?
This does look good and if it the reveal next week is similar ill be more excited for sharella but shes just such a deep cut for me that im only getting her for my retarded collection. Shes about geldor or he skeletor level, i was more excited for keldor desu but its hard to follow despara as the next figure.
>>11459846Gone are the days of Baywatch.
Young white actresses arenโt liking io at the gate to play the sexy adaptation of a toy waifu anymore.
Maybe it has to do with casting couches, and guys like Weinstein going away.
But thatโs just how things are now.
20 year old girls just arenโt auditioning for these types of films anymore.
Would you say that Sharella is the most important missing character from Motu Classics (aside from rest of NA cast)?
>>11460189Would add Battleground Teela and Space Marlena
>>11460206But...they were in Classics?
>>11460211https://www.actionfigure411.com/masters-of-the-universe/mattel-classics/heroic-warriors/battleground-teela-5073.php
https://www.actionfigure411.com/masters-of-the-universe/mattel-classics/heroic-warriors/captain-glenn-with-cringer-7152.php
>>11460117It's kind of surprising that "take existing figure, tool new head, put a bag dress on it and release Shadow Weaver" wasn't a vintage release. In 1987, Mattel designers finally put out the Sorceress, King Randor and Loo-Kee.
>cartoon sword design
>Adam wears cartoon pink
Tooners ruin even this movie...
>>11460111You will never own slaves
>>11458920>Deviating from source material BAD! Unless its giving Sonic pointless blue arms then go ahead
>>11460258Holy smokes, Chris-chan posts in /motug/?!
Sonichu crossover when?
I just now realised I was confusing Haramesh and Aremesh for a while.
>>11460254>>cartoon sword design>>Adam wears cartoon pink???
>>11460254>ToonersWhat does Transformers Animated have to do with anything?
>>11460254The sword design is different + it's just a generic button up collar shirt. What do you want? A minicomic blue shirt?
But also fuck tooners.
>>11460254Why shouldn't he wear pink? What'd you expect him to wear?
>>11455967>>11460147Is buying a doll crossing a line bro's? I have hundreds of action figures and plastic play-sets to pose them on but somehow my mind has always resisted the idea of picking up a doll, Monster High almost got me but this She-Ra doll, I kinda want it.
>>11460774Here's a thought: what are you even going to do with it? Posing it on your shelf doesn't count.
Here's another: do you not already own the perfect she-ra toy? The 5.5 CC one?
And then finally: can you even afford it?
>>11460774>>11460776Leave it boxed. It displays beautifully, itโs even posed. 100% Iโm buying it, first doll. Not a habit lol. I have Joes, transformers, MOTU.. and now a barbie.
Who cares! Sheโs hot. Box is probably as tall as a MOTU carded figure (roughly). Itโs a winner.
The funniest hit for me is โbuying the sexy she-ra barbie is gayโ, whereas buying all these fur clad muscle men to near naked wrestle each other is pure straight behaviour lmao
>>11460776Origins she-ra v2 (knees) is better than CC she-ra
>>11460254You don't even deserve this (you), but you seem to be so desperate for it
>>11460812Fucking hell, no.
>>11460058>>This woman does not look like she trained 1 day to be teela. She'll be fine, dickhead.
>>11460811>The funniest hit for me is โbuying the sexy she-ra barbie is gayโ, whereas buying all these fur clad muscle men to near naked wrestle each other is pure straight behaviour lmaoBecause you clearly have gooner mentality and think people only buy toys to hot glue them. Stop projecting your own degeneracy on others
>>11460928Did I hit a nerve?
He-man has undeniable comically homoerotic undertones. This stuff has been the fuel of memes for years. Itโs fine, itโs not a problem, but if it triggers you, perhaps youโre getting hot & bothered in your closet
>>11460189>>11460206>>11460211>>11460232Ok, lets try that again.
Would you say that if classics had rest of NA cast then it would be complete? Objectively speaking, we know you'll never have literally every single character.
>>11460856My biggest complaint is her hair style. Even with the Sharia Law outfit they gave her, the hair and tiara combo would have salvaged the look for the movie.
>>11460928>gooner mentalityFemale mentality, actually.
There are dozens of scientific papers written about how men and women like the very same thing, but for completely different reasons.
If that guy is not trolling then he is genuinely reasoning like a girl. Very ironic.
While yโall were arguing about gooners and coomers, the doll sold out within minutes
>>11461168For designer barbie dolls it was pretty cheap. They're used to $75-100 a pop starter prices
>>11461168I heard, i got the email after it sold out. So imkinda fucking pissed it wasnt a greyskull club offering. I paid mattel $10 for what? A shitty despara i never ever wanted!!! Its ok, this she ra looks too much like 2025 movie teela anyway.
>>11458233 Ali.
Doll stuff.
>>11461168Alright then, no decision necessary my collection remains doll-less. It's probably for the best, if they end up making all the POP girls I'd need to buy her a friend, well who's she she gonna talk to? She's gonna get bored and. And you know, what if they get sick of each other? You know, they. They need a third girl. And then honestly if I have three I might as well get the whole set.....
>>11461578Yeah I feel the same, I guess the grayskull club is only for origins and masterverse .... not anything MOTU. Which is kinda bullshit.
>>11461168She has no muscle mass, is she sickly? How can she hold a sword?
>>11461819>Not having your big she-ra gentle femdom bully the origins boys and cradle he-man to assert her dominance>Not playing out scenes where Beastman goes full incel because she-ra won't give him attention while skeletor is content to just sneak looks up her skirt while teela tries to assassinate her
>>11461925Swords are pretty light. Most zweihanders didn't weigh more than 8lbs. Have you never picked up a sword in your life?
>>11461925That Barbie actually looks a lot more buff than the ones I remember as a kid. Sheโs been working out.
>>11461824You know mattel knew that a she ra barbie would be apealling to motu fans. Especially for those of us who donated $10 for a 24 hr order window. I dont regret giving aeay the membership fee but im not sure if i will be renewing. A great idea would be to offer these pain in the ass walmart exclusives, even if they were to sell them months after the stores sold them
no painted chest bra, so full barbie style torso.
>>11462162Buying max limit
Great Big Black Wizard is lookin cooler everytime I see it. This is in the Snake Lair Playset so I'm guess Lord Pythonus will be a tier unlock.
She's neat, but I can wait until they have a second neat figure up before I order her.
>>11462164Cant know that for certain. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a painted brown bra painted underneath thats just hidden by the top
>>11462174They'll reuse this a a Teela exclusive eventually. Maybe when they reissue King Hiss and TP He-man.
>>11462168Apparently you can show more female butt cheek in 2025 than prior years.
>>11462220I think Mattel realized most of these MOTU toys are actually being bought by adult men and have been slowly moving towards that market. Instead of little jimmy and his mom shopping for these. Disney has yet to figure that out and keeps Hasbro on a leash with their collecters line like Marvel Legends and SW black. Easier for the exec to blanket ban anything sexy across all toy lines than to write out different rules for each offering.
Just got a package from bbts.
>>11462276based and serpentpilled
First, I wanted a picture of Fang Man with Tri-klops just to see how he'd actually look with vintage figures
And then I wanted swap some pieces into DB Skeletor to make a more "vintage" looking Fang Man. I'm thinking of maybe doing a boil and pop to swap the forearms on vintage style biceps from a spare Skelly and to give this kitbash a pair of Jitsu trunks so he can still have red underwear, see how that might look
Red trunks look.
Anyone have any pic requests with out-of-the-box Fang or part swap Fang?
>>11462294i just got the classics tri-klops. such a cool character.
i wish the origins one came with the ring
>>11462331I love Dragon Blaster Fang Man so much.
Another one-shot Skeletor henchmen should have the Terror Claws gear when he's not using it.
>>11462162Ill get it, but only because mattel has beaten a drum into my wallet now. Its mostly due to lack of familiarity with preternia so shes just not a big deal personally.
Now as a just figure youve got a cool harem option. Army builder
>>11462172stfu Axel. We are so done with your gay snakes.
>>11462549Speak for yourself.
I'm not done until I get Stretch Nek, Toxoid, and Cham-or. GBW can suck an egg.
>>11462570I'm the #1 snake hater and I want stretch neck. I feel like he's basically confirmed to hit sketchbook series. GBW could be a fun toy but he might be relegated to my fantasy shelf of board games and wiccan crap my wife likes.
>>11462549we need 48 gorillion snake men just to make this guy. if you're reading mattel, make it happen. thank you.
>>11462601I'm one of the biggest Snakefags there is, and he's the only one I consider 100% essential apart from Toxoid due to their vintage heritage. Honestly, Quick Flick and Pythonus don't really interest me, and that red Khan OCdonutsteal is boring.
I only like Cham-or because I imagine their race as being enslaved by the Snakes and having a little slave revolt encouraged by the other reptilian and amphibious dudes like Saurod, Lizardman, Dart-os and Frog Monger.
>>11462162I like her. I think her hair should be lighter, or at least more matte.
>>11462174She's fine but nothing to get excited about, the design is so basic. I'm surprised she doesn't come with an alternate He-Ro head or at least his power sword. If she sits Mattel will only have themselves to blame.
>>11462678>If she sitsHe-Ro himself is sitting.
Sharella isn't selling out.
>>11462895Hoping the exclusive is CC Adora with Swift Wind that can transform via armor and plug in wings.
>>11462840They are fairly obscure characters. Im sure they have their fans and i do like how he ro turned out but im not excited for them.
>>11462895We need a show stopper announcement, a giant figure or move in a new direction awsy from snakes and into 200X or maybe even new adventures. You tell me i can get na in masterverse and ill come running back, same with 200X if they could even use those designs.
>>11463127They're characters with no stories. There was a sketch for these characters living in the Age of Dinosaurs and Snake Men with He-Ro being the Most Powerful Wizard in the Universe, raised by Eldor and Sharella before getting his magic power. That's it.
I personally think there's potential for a really good story, but it hasn't been written, so it's not surprising that they have far fewer fans than He-Man, Teela etc.
>>11463157This is why MotU needs a story that's both ongoing and episodic.
Because if you insist on mini series and/or ongoing plot, then they will NEVER be anything but He-Man and the same 3 fucks fighting Skeletor and his same 3 fucks.
Going back to a simpler formula will allow them be able to go "ok, this episode is the He-Ro episode, and this episode can be the Extendar episode, etc"
>>11463127>We need a show stopper announcementSnake Lair 2.0 lmao
>>11463127NA is rather easy. We discussed that in older threads. Just put them together with Riot Blast and the Rock People. Rock People were fleeing from the Mutants and Riot Blast is a Galactic Guardian that contacts his fellow men.
>>11463869Slush Head and Lizorr look suprisingly badass but Karatti's leg is ridiculous.
Trying to turn this into the red Contra guy. I like the head and the body but I want the bracelets gone. Which figure can I get some plain arms from that matches his skin color?
>>11464346>Which figure can I get some plain arms from that matches his skin color?no one matches that skintone well enough
"Barbie" She-ra arrived today and wow they made some weird choices like old school rubberband legs. They put sticky tack like stuff on her thighs and where her nipples would be to secure the dress in packaging.The cape cannot be removed unless you pop the head off or cut the string. The gold string is not made of elastic. What were they thinking?
Not sure why they didn't opt for the barely used buff body.
>>11464869I need to dig around my room for buff she-ra's filmation costume.So no comparison of that from me.
>>11464869Nudist She-Ra anon, you finally won.
>>11464886That's me! Still waiting for tunshi studio nude body though.
I found my vintage Snake Mountain
>>11465057I love how lively this is. Good pic anon.
>>11464869enjoying the fact that nudist she-ra is a giant standing above the tmnt lair. cowabunga indeed
>>11465057About how big is the snake part of snake mountain? I could get one for like $20ish but im not sure how i could fit it into my current display.
>>11465387honestly its not as big as it should be. And whenever motu stuff happening away from Snake Mountain all the characters should be asking "when are we going to Snake Mountain?"
>t. Axel
>>11465057Hey, Modulok with the Evil Warriors!
>>11465500I was hoping someone would appreciate that.
It's his escape attempt to run off to join the Horde. That's why he's attacking Mer Man and why Tri-klops is telling him to go back inside at gunpoint
>>11465490I mean, like, yknow, maybe reptilax is cool.
>happily buys fang man due to years of mattel abusing meSeriously, lets get off the snakes and have a new story if we are going to focus on this eternia that is origins eternia.
>>11465179awesome shot! I wish mattel would take photos like this to advertise origins.
>>11465057dude anytime I take a few days off from here I come back to the greatest thread OC. absolutely incredible shot.
>>11464346Maybe Roddy Piper or Hogan?
Can't find the filmation outfit for my first she-ra...
>>11465572I genuinely can't tell anymore if snakehate is still just a meme or if some people are legit mind broken
>the story of the main line has been about Horde for almost a year now, no new snakes outside that shitty Pit Warden in the multi pack>Fang Man neither a Snake (the faction) nor a snake (the creature)
>>11465979>>11464869I like the buff or athletic body molds rhey used for the SDCC She-Ra.
>>11466218hey mattel....this kinda thing is why I gave up on motu.
>thats a cool toy, i want to buy it>sorry not unless you want to jump through a million hoops and pay out the ass>"why does He-Man always fail at retail?">>11465976Stop being a nerd. If you can't emphasize with the people frustrated by Mattel putting more desirable characters on the back burner so that Axel can use up the tooling budget on stuff like Vypor...you might actually just autistic.
>hey mattel can Sy-Klone come with fists so he's vintage accurate? >hmm no budget for that but here is another snake!Also while we are on the subject Stretch Neck is fucking lame. Shitty name, right up there with Frog Monger (what this nigga sells other frogs?)
>Hey I got a great idea for a character. So he's got a neck that gets longer.>oh like Mekaneck?>no>like Rattlor?>no>Ok like Extendar?>no. this one is a snake.>Ok Axel we are 100% on board. Glad we gave you the keys to the brand.
>>11466776>emphasizeEmphasize what? Do you mean empathise? Why are you shitposters always ESLs?
>>11466794Obviously I meant empathize. Not "empathise" which is not even a word btw.
Now whose ESL, nerd?
>>11466776>hey mattel....this kinda thing is why I gave up on motu.It being a Target exclusive is why you gave up? Being super easy once it's out to find is a reason to quit? Stores are drowning in the Sketch 2-pack so why wouldn't we see this next? Every TMNT crossover was stupid easy to get when it was a Target exclusive
>>11466815Only in America is it easy. Everywhere else its just a big tease.
>>11466815>It being a Target exclusive is why you gave up?Ausfag here. I could buy brand new AAA video game collector editions for the cost of some of the figures I've bought over the years at the ridiculous markups set by scalpers selling USA store exclusive figures online.
>>11466807It's English English. Not shart-in-mart failed attempt at English. You'd know that if you knew English.
>>11466569I'm still annoyed they only used that body twice. DC Superhero girls and the wrestling ones only used something similar.
There was previews for a teela and lynn, but htey never happened. I hope Mattel just does more of these collab barbies at least since she-ra sold out stupid fast.
>>11466776>If you can't emphasize with the people frustrated by Mattel putting more desirable characters on the back burner so that Axel can use up the tooling budget on stuff like Vypor...you might actually just autisticI wouldn't stand there making accusations of autism if I were the person unable to move past crying about snakes when the last major batch of snakes was around a year ago, if I were a person mad over a figure's fist not being closed, or if I were a person getting worked up over the semantics of a characters name.
Normal people have moved passed it (outside of memeing) because the line HAS shifted focus and put out a lot of Horde and we're getting PoG and sketchbook series at least has the promise of some fun new characters, with only 1 snake in a multipack, and yeah, Snake Lair is still coming, but so is Fright Zone. Your brain is literally stuck in early-to-mid 2024 and your refusing to enjoy what we ARE getting because you're still seething over old toys and obsessing over toys that aren't even announced. Here's your (YOU).
>>11467041You are right. They could have used that body mold. She-Ra was 2016, WE Divas came out 2018. She-Ra body is perfect for female wrestling related figures. Weird they just made new molds, they could have saved some money.
Or do they destroy a mold if it wasnt a success? I mean immediatly.
Or did they think girls will buy the Divas so they need les buff bodies?
got my sharella. crazy how far this line has come and how dead this general is.
>>11467194Or what about the nerd crying over me not using the proper Queen's English spelling of "empathise"? You got to admit that is pretty fucking autistic.
>>11467453Yeah I think I'm gonna triple dip and get Hordak, Evil Adora and Sharella. Go for that big dopamine rush.
As for these generals, part of it is that no one is allowed to make a new thread until page 10 or else its disrespectful to board culture. It's also partially because the line has gone online only.
And mostly these threads have a weird group of people. There was a discord where certain posters would get together to basically act as gatekeepers. I don't know if they still do but the discord link isn't posted in the OC anymore.
>>11467571Please God and Jesus let the movie be good and bring life back to this anonymous message board of peace.
>>11467577checked.. Kek has willed that the movie will be successful.
>>11467571>It's also partially because the line has gone online only.Wouldn't say online only. Just more difficult to find at retail. WMs around me only just stocked the Faker/Leech CC case and Ram Man/She-ra CC case. ToG is stuck with a Casey Jones case or Stealth Ninja He-man case.
>>11467589If Daddy Trump takes over leafland, maybe our WMs will stock Motu again. The burgers have no idea how good they have it.
>>11467595>The burgers have no idea how good they have it.Oh, we know
why

>>11467616>mfw no mer-manPlease emphasize with me....
>>11467616This is a german images though?
>>11467469Thatโs beautiful box art. Now all we need is someone to shop Hobo Basecamp on the logo and that will bring people back to the board!!!!
>>11467469Notice how most of the depictions are "Sketchbook" designs? Some are even subtle but noticeable. Like you can tell it's Ted Mayers Hordak by the sharp pointy shoulders
>>11467865And Mantenna's head is modelled on this
And of course the obvious ones like Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor concepts, Green Goddess, LoP MAA, Red Beast Man.
>>11467878I was getting to that one. Lol
And Slime Monster is peaking in over Beast Man's shoulder
If they take this sketchbook spamming opportunity to tease Dylamug and Octavia again and finally tease Wrap Trap and Brain, I'll be tickled
According to the description on Matty, the Fright Zone monster is officially named Dreadful Dragon
>>11467453Got mine too!
I think its slowed down because not much has been announced. I think we're just waiting for a big news announcement. Also the last couple of months haven't been as exciting as previous ones- and don't get me wrong, I like them! But overall not as exciting as previous releases.
Very happy we got Sharella! Plasmar, Strobo, and Great Black Wizard are hopefully next.
Hope we get Dragstor and Two-Bad soon too.
>>11467671>This is a german images though?Gunther understands your confusion. Out there in a land of maple syrup with nothing to do but fuck snow and trees. But now is the time to praise the American Way (TM) of life which can deliver to the undeserving with ease a case of wanted figures to a store aimed at the fattest and poorest of its own people. By God's own hand giving to these wretched fools the most desired of characters: a merman transformed into an uglier merman with a deluxe price tag. Pathetic Americans outshone only by those who are still left wanting or Bill Goldberg.
>>11467581If the movie manages to revive MOTU with its spirit intact I will shit a brick. Even with Origins' success in mind it just seems like such a herculean feat considering how often Matty suffocates the franchise at random.
>>11467453We're kind of in a lull between major releases. The reception on the Thundercats has been very mixed at best and everything else of note is an online exclusive. Just seems like everything is on ice until the movie lands. IF the movie even gets the chance to land considering the state of movie theaters in burgerland.
>>11447838You're such a faggot.
>>11467635I emphathasizse with you.
>>11467469Love the box art, what version of Skeletor is that with the metal crossbones chest-plate?
>>11449874NTA Yeah it was Playmates that had a fit about it just like they did with Super 7 over their Ultimates. They didnโt want anything to jepordize their Remastered line, even a line thatโs figures are way taller and way more money. And we seen how that line is. The 2nd wave was supposed to be like TCats is with more of a pull off type of armor which you can see how itโs close to that. Fucking Playmates ruins everything.
>>11467559>crying over me not using the proper Queen's English spelling of "empathise"?No I didn't.
You were trying to say "empathise" wasn't a word. I don't even give a shit which dialect you choose because I constantly switch between both of them.
>>11468320Concept art Battle Armor Skeletor
>>11467469I just want to know WHAT retailers are going to carry this and WHEN
I don't really want to order this one through a middleman like usual because it's so gonna be so big it needs to be shipped on it's own anyway and it'll cost another 100 so I might as well just buy it at some "local" hobby shop at their ridiculous markup anyway, but I don't even know which ones are going to be carrying it
Like, when is it coming to Europe? Which outlets are going to be carrying it, if any of them even feel like it??
Thanks Mattel, for not just shipping inside the fucking eurozone
>>11468012>Hope we get Dragstor and Two-Bad soon too.I hope they do a bigger selection of vintage than they have the last couple years. Like maybe 5 or 6 figures.
Here's my rationale...
After next year they won't really "need" Origins because if the movie is a HIT then MotU has basically reinvigorated itself and can continue on in any new format it chooses, and if it FAILS, MotU is probably a dead brand keeping Origins on life support by dragging it out is just prolonging the inevitable.
So since they said they're going to be giving MotU product a big push in general next year, just spam most if not all the remaining vintage and in the aftermath of the movie it won't really matter how much life Origins has anyway.
Hell for all we know if 2026 does reinvigorate the brand, Origins might get a second wind that the line could survive without vintage so there's really no reason to drag it out one way or the other. At least that's how I see it
>>11468471My theory is they will push Masterverse harder next year and the movie toys will dominate within them.
I don't think the movie toys will be very popular, so they'll probably create a wave and a half of them then go back to normal. The movie toys will shelf warm so bad online will be basically the only place to order Origins or Masterverse. I mean, its basically like that for me anyways, but I still do see them in stores on occassions. Anyway, Origins will still be doing its thing just not as much as the movie or Masterverse. I don't think it'll kill the line or anything (I think we'll be seeing Origins until at least 2030). I thini it'll shift it more onto online retailers and mattel creations even more.
>>11468589And I say all that not to be doom and gloom, because I think we'll be getting MotU stuff for years and years to come. It is just that companies usually overproduce when it comes to movie toys under the assumption demand will be super high. Since its a Mattel brand, I suspect they'll try pushing it even harder than a usual movie tie in. But ultimately, the movie toys are almost always over produced, and even though they may be popular, they won't be THAT insanely popular- leading to Mattel milking it as long as they can before going 'oh okay we'll go back to our regularly scheduled broadcast'. I also suspect we'll get re-releases of older Origins and Masterverse toys (more He-Mans and Skeletors etc.), which could be a good thing for anyone that missed them!
Skele-shredder looks like dogshit, easy pass on this third and worst shredder in the line
>>11468635Imagine being this wrong. Kys.
>>11468639Oh hell yea, they didn't skip him after all. Now gimme the ooze pit.
>>11468639So this is the SDCC exclusive, eh?
Kinda surprised they're not giving it to She-Ra or Thundercats crossover.
>>11468639Oh no this is fucking COOL. How impossible to get will it be?
>>11468733Depends on how many folks give a fuck about ToG.
Last years SDCC exclusive was CC Two Bad and sold out in minutes
But the year before it was Masterverse Motherboard and she's still available.
So where does ToG fall in the spectrum between CC and Revelation?
>>11468749>So where does ToG fall in the spectrum between CC and Revelation?By the way some have been peg warming, like basic skeletor, casey, even wig mikey, not a lot of interest anymore.
>>11468443>*From July 1, 2025, at 9:00am PT through July 15, 2025, at 8:59am PT, only Club Grayskull members can buy this item at MattelCreations.com, while supplies last. During this member shopping window, this item may also be available at other retailers.
Still kinda sad we're not gonna get the piranha plants or rock monster.
>>11468775That doesn't really answer any of my questions though
Euro retailers always get everything months after the US, if they get them at all (which is an utter crapshoot), and I don't particularly want to find myself in a position where I find out too late that I should've just bought it straight from fucking Mattel after all
>>11468639Yeah this is great
>>11468805>not up during the Fright Zone's windowWhy are they like this?
>>11468426Have you ever consider switching to a dialect where you don't sound like a colossal faggot?
It wouldn't be so bad if you discord trannies were rude to everyone. But it's the inconsistent butthurt. We have multiple posts about how Mattel should have used a different body for She-Bar but pointing out that Syklone should have have closed fists is just to much.
>>11468841Which one makes me sound less like a faggot? The one where "emphasize" mean "empathize" or "whose" and "who's" are interchangeable?
I am sorry that I don't emphasize with you, shitposter. I'll stick to the dialects that don't make it seem like I should be in Slumdog Millionaire or Life of Pi whenever I'm not phoning people pretending to be Microsoft tech support.
