TQ: What are you currently most hyped for?

First to say "fuck off we're full" to snakes

>>11509287 (OP)
I like the fact they kinda made Man at Arms a main character here, until we get He-Man Optimus anyway...

>>11509289
What's up with snake obsession tho? Mattel seems to have it, Lego has it too with their Ninjago line.

OP, you forgot to include what Thundercats wave 3 is (Panthor Man another Lion-O, another Panthro) or CC Swift Wind/She-Ra on MC in September.

>>11509294
Sorry...

What other crossover should MotU do next?

I say Godzilla or Magic the Gathering

I was watching Pixel Dan QaA at MotU booth at SDCC and the Mattel rep said more movie toy line news are coming very soon, like how soon can that mean? August? September or NYCC soon?

>>11509296
Robocop

>>11509296
I keep saying Skeletor and the Snake Men meet Cobra, requiring He-Man and friends to go help the US government/GI Joe, could work great.
Of course they could also botch it like this lame Transformers crossover, by only using A-listers instead of characters who make sense for going to Earth like Gwildor and Marlena.

>>11509296
Unironically

>Masters of the Universe x Dragon Ball Z

>He-Man isn't the strongest man in the universe, not anymore.

Guys, I think mattel is trying to tell us Bow is homo.

>>11509302
Clarence Skeletor
>Can you fly, Beast Man?

>>11509296
Magic is only crossovers now. Unless you mean you want He-Man to crossover with Dr. Who and Spider-Man but via cardboard rectangles.

>>11509287 (OP)
>Skeletor Megatron
>not using Skeletron

>>11509316
I don't get it.
"Special friend" could either mean "boyfriend, love interest" (as seen in some 80s comics) or "retarded friend" (Filmation's interpretation).

So last year the excuse was "we don't want him to overshadow our CC Exclusive Two Bad"

What's the excuse this year? Hoping they'll get time to release 200x Two Bad first?

>>11509330
Yes.

>>11509330
I wonder if this strategy of stretching out the vintage stuff even works? if you are here for vintage only are you like "oh dang it, no new vintage figures this year, better buy bumblebee Man-at-arms tho!"

>>11509334
It doesn't.
I'm not here for "vintage only" but even the non vintage shit i want they aren't making.
All they've effectively done is made it so I only buy like 1 or 2 figures a year, and gotten bored to the point I might even just drop Origins entirely without finishing...jump to Masterverse or Mondo or maybe just buy restore my vintages and save up to complete the actual vintage line. Or hell, maybe Classics, at least there I know I'll get a Goat Man and that Strong Arm and Batros will fit in with normal figures instead of (if they get made in Origins) only being compatible with other toon figures

I think the only strategy that works on are people that are literally going to buy everything anyway, the type that are less likely to drop immediately after vintage is done

>>11509334
I can't speak for everyone, but my focus has shifted from " gotcha catch em all" meaning full complete line of Origins to "eh I'll get what I can find with little work."

I'm not a vintage completionst, so I might grab something that really excites me or shows up cheap from a flipper. But I'm way choosier about what I buy.

Speaking of which, can anyone convince me to pick up Snake Armor Clamp Champ? I played with Champ a lot as a kid and would like a variant. What do people think of the new one?

>>11509287 (OP)
>TQ: What are you currently most hyped for?
I am hyped for Dragstor, Stingor, 200x, and for the execs that came up with the idea of a Transformers crossover to get colorectal cancer.
Did anyone with a Sodastream as a kid mix different flavors? Lemon and lime went together good. Orange and lemon was nice. Combine all three and they were amazing. Add rasberry to that last combo and it was awful.
That is the Transformers crossover.
Man-at-Arms is a 6' tall man. Bumblebee is a 20’ tall robot. This just looks like MAA went to SDCC in a Bumblebee costume.
Fucking retarded. Fuck whoever thought of this. You fucks think you hate snakes? It took a few years for your hate to grow. Mine is at maximum power immediately. I hate this gay shit with the force of a billion supernovas.

>>11509334
No, I think fans who just wanted the 70ish vintage MotU figures minty fresh with better articulation have been losing interest since before Rio Blast dropped on Mattel Creations.
I bet if they'd offered vintage Two Bad made to order more than 12 months ago, they'd have sold many more units than his eventual release will (even if that quantity still sells out in one minute like Filmation Tuvar/Badrha

I like how happy he looks

>>11509296
Curious what could be done with a Godzilla crossover, just a roided out Godzilla in a He-Man harness? Mounts?

>>11509365
He, Reptilax and Sketchbook Spikor all look like higher-budget Galaxy Warriors by virtue of having animal heads, tails, and another inhuman part on a body with human skin tones.

>>11509372
>Reptilax is Snake
>Sting-Or is Horde
>Spikor is an Evil Warrior
My new OC:
Standard torso, arms, and upper legs in African color
New Tyrannosaurus head in matching shade of brown
Buzz-Off shins/feet
Reptilax hips and tail
Krang's ball and chain in place of one hand
T Wrecks, Heroic Master of Demolition

>>11509291
>What's up with snake obsession tho?
Mattel would rather make OC Snakes than finish the actual line. Dunno for LEGO. Maybe someone there is a fan of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi with the ninjas as the mongoose

Pessimistically assuming Mattel won't make any more vintage characters without reusing their unique parts (heads excepted), what would you pitch to Mattel to finally get your remaining favorites?
We already know Mediocre Black Wizard has Blast-Attak's legs. Didn't we also have a discussion of how some Space Mutants would look more accurate with them than the Classics Man-E-Faces legs?

>>11509369
The thought of getting a King Ghidra to pose on the shelf menacing He-Man and friends has crossed my mind more than once. I bet there is something you could do from a story perspective but in terms of a superficial mash up....I dunno. Seems like it would be forced and kinda lame but that's nothing that would stop Mattel.
>>11509372
So true. Kol Darr is one of my favorite non-vintage Origins because he feels like he would fit right in on the good guys side of a KO line.

This is gonna be so peak but do we know the prices for these? And a release date? 2026?

>>11509334
Let's see. Hypothetical MOTU fan is so obsessed with vintage, he's willing to wait 5 more years to get all vintage. But at the same time, he will ditch the line as soon as he gets what he wants and never look back. AT THE SAME TIME, he keeps buying stuff like $300 Snake Lair, the same stuff that he will consider pointless and now worth his attention as soon as he has Gwildor and Rotar.

Does that makes sense to you?


>>11509330
If they make 200X Two-Bad at least I will know for sure they're fucking with us on purpose.

>>11509428
I know one of the designers said that hollow in Roboto's torso will eventually have gears, but it would be so funny if it remained empty and I could put Mega Construx Roboto inside.

>>11509428
Whatever the going rare for Masterverse figures will be by next year. so like 20-25, maybe they jump to $30.

>>11509428
Im sure they'll start this year.

>>11509428
>This is gonna be so peak but do we know the prices for these?
No prices pending China tariff deal due soon. likely going up to $24.99 given the bigger sizes and little reuse of parts.

>>11509324
Was bow ever called Special Friend in the original cartoon?

>>11509287 (OP)
I recognize why some are burnt out on the crossovers, but I have to admit the transformers effort is getting my goat. Skeletron looks incredible and might be the best Skeletor variant we've gotten in origins yet, and even though I'm irked by the use of dark green in place of black on Bee at Arms I'm genuinely tempted to buy him anyways.

On the flipside that is sort of a problem for me. I've gone the last 5 years without being able to settle on any one version of MAA or Beastman because we've gotten so many good options.
>>11509323
pic related

>>11509302
I would kill for a MOTU styled Robocop. I dont think they could get away with an entire line of Robocrossovers, but he'd make a great inclusion in a spin off line dedicated to one offs. Same for all the other big 80's heroes

>>11509308
Gi Joe and DC really seem like the most obvious go-to's for the next few years. Everything else (Thundarr, Blackstarr, Bravestar, etc) seems too obscure.

>>11509296
These

>>11509507
Let your imagination run wild

Who drew that comic? Looks like Andrew Wildman.

>>11509514
Spooky Space Kook!! Ghost of Captain Cutler!!

After seeing the MotU X Thundercats reveals at SDCC that were just Panthor Man, another Panthro and another Lion-O, what do you think the odds are of this line ending without such core characters as:
Wilykat & Wilykit
Slithe
Jackalman
Monkian
... then Jaga and Vultureman would be the next most core.

For MotU characters, I was most looking forward to Kittrina and Chief Carnivus. Catra as a catgirl would be a natural too, which I suppose would necessitate a crossover She-Ra.

>>11509514
You jest but I would buy the entire case without a second thought. I'd love to see the HB heroes make the line too. Can you imagine? Space Ghost, Birdman, Mightor, etc

>>11509507
I've suggested Marvel prior because of the Mattel + Secret Wars connection and most people were not into it.
>>11509552
Odds are very very high. Seems like most Thundercats lines are lucky to get around to Tygra and Cheetarah, anything beyond that is a miracle.

>>11509514
I feel like we're excluding an obvious choice in Warhammer

>>11509565
A space ghost would also make an awesome Galactic Guardian. Instead of a boring human, have the ghost of a dead spaceman leading He-Man around. His figure would be GitD plastic of course.

>>11509575
Battle Scoob, Space Ghost, and New Adventures bait in the same wave? Absolutely genius.

>>11509507
Funko kinda did the DC one, fully articulated version would be rad

>>11509507
Second round

Think they'll follow up their Grayskull prototype release with a Snake Mountain in jungle colors release?

>>11509514
Teela = daphne
heman = fred
cringer = scooby
? = shaggy

i dunno who velma would be
Orko?

alternatively:
skeletor = daphne
beastman = velma
grizzlor = scooby
triklops = Fred
Shaggy =???


>>11509594
universal monsters and godzilla I would
>>11509510
gi joe mite be cool if they come with origins gun gripping hands with triggerfingers and if they don't go too normie pop cult
Man at arms?

>>11509616
Shaggy as Skeletor

>>11509616
Shaggy is Wun-Dar, obsessed with making sandwiches. Cringer is always going along with him instead of He-Man's sensible ideas.

>>11509296
Unironically

>>11509615
Not a bad idea, but it's not Snake Mountain if it's not in "evil" colors.

No one pointed this out, but this is our first look at Grayksull interior in the upcoming movie

>>11509658
And we have Snake mountain too

>>11509507
>motu x dbz
Kino

>>11509296
Mortal Kombat. You can even call it HE-MAN: MASTER OF THE REALMS.

>>11509313
Adam would spank Goku's bottom raw, Saiyans can't even lift 1,000 tons.

>>11509716
Would be kino

>>11509616
More like Velma=Teela and Daphne= She-Ra

Though it would be funny if a Scooby/He-Man crossover simply used the Velma versions as evil warriors of Skeletor as rivals for He-Man and the real Scooby Gang

Now I want a MotU x Scooby Doo crossover

>>11509296
Teletubbies

>now let's see who this Skeletor really is ...

>Battle Scoob
>Man-With-Traps Fred
>Teela Daphie
>Sorceress Velma
>Orko Scrappy
Hmm...

Grabbed some cats today. Could only get two atm and there was only one Cheetara so left Battle Cat for next time. I'm wondering if I should wait on opening the Lion-O until I see what the other one looks like in case I like it more, from what I understand aside from the armor colors changing he's supposed to look more like cartoon Lion-O with the redder hair and lighter skin instead of toy Lion-O.

>>11509316
no they're reaffirming She-Ra as a lesbian

Pee-wee's Playhouse crossover

>Hee-Wee He-Man
>Ms Teevonne, the most beautiful warrior goddess in Eternialand
>Cowboy Curtis-Blast
>The King Randor of Cartoons
>Captain Carl-At-Arms
>Pturbo
>Roconky 2000
>The Sorcer-Cowntess
>Orko the Genie

>>11509365
i need this creepy lil guy

Shadow Weaver can use flight stand! She just doesn't come with one.

>>11509594
I endorse all of these but Sonic. I just cant fathom what that would even look like. A Spongebob crossover would be easier to realize.

Also, what about more inner-company crossovers? Matty already did Shogun Warrior versions of He-man and Skeletor aswell as plenty of hot wheels stuff. What about MOTU × Street Sharks? MOTU × Captain Power? MOTU × Jurassic Park?

>>11509810
It's honestly baffling how well Cheetara turned out. Next to Battle Cat-man and Mumm-ra she's in the lead for best of the bunch. Assuming the Thundercats crossover wont see next year you might aswell wait on Lion-O V2.

Still sucks that they didnt make any of Mumm-Ra's minions.

>>11509296
Power Rangers
Don't know how Red Ranger He-Man would look though.

>>11509837
MotU x Dino-Riders
Tyrannosaurus with King Hiss, Kobra Khan and, uh, Frog Monger as a Krulos reference?
Pterodactyl with He-Ro.
Maybe both good and evil Triceratops? Since Bionatops is always depicted belonging to He-Man or occasionally Black King Grayskull's, while in Dino-Riders it was a Rulon steed? Evil one could come with Rattlor and either Tung Lashor or a newly made-up Preternian sharkman.

>>11509837
They're fools if they don't use this as an opportunity to re-launch Mighty Max with crossover MotU Doom Zones.

>>11509854
It's obvious Mattel is using the Jurassic World Micro Adventures and Polly Pocket Stranger Things collab as an attempt to test the waters for a MM reboot.
I can see a Castle Grayskull or Snake Mountain set in the vein of this.

>>11509428
MY GOD I've been wanting 2002 back like you wouldn't believe. 2002 was always the real He-Man to me, but their toys sucked so much. Especially since it existed during the Toybiz Marvel Legends run

>>11509522
Kook-at-Arms
Cutlor

>>11509841
She is pretty good. Gotta love bald pussy.

How do we feel about the time Gwildor's Cosmic Key sent He-Man, Prince Adam, King Randor, Man-At-Arms, the Sorceress, Teela, Rio Blast, "Rokkon", Skeletor, Beast Man, Evil-Lyn and the newest batch of characters back to Preternia?

"That's right, He-Man! Scram! Take your Dragon Walker away from Castle Grayskull!"

>>11509365
He looks great, is this confirmed as another Axel design or did they actually let someone else at Mattel try to design an OC? It looks so much better than any of his OC Snakes. Even the head sculpt has a vintage feel.

>>11509810
Lion-o is 2 per case

>>11507894
>>11507912
>To each their own
True, and you know what, I think we should just be happy to see MOTU, and 200X specifically getting so much attention, to the point where we do have options in terms of picking the style we like. It's a good time to be a MOTU collector, I wonder if we'll get another series soon, did the CGI series do well? I saw the toys come out and then nothing.

>>11509324
>"Special friend" could either mean "boyfriend, love interest"
This. I read that, and I instantly jump to when adults have to explain what a boyfriend/girlfriend is to a kid who is too young to process concepts outside of "Mummies and Daddies, and regular friends" so it's "and this is Aunt Jenny's special friend Mark!"

>>11509296
Conan the Barbarian or >>11509652 or more Thundercats. I really want more Thundercats please.

>>11509514
No Battleground Daphane No Sale.
Also need Attak Trak Mystery Machine.

>>11509919
I was inspired. I hope I did your sketch justice.

>>11509415
>what would you pitch to Mattel to finally get your remaining favorites?
If it takes Goldenrod for me to get Multi-Bot, then I guess I will accept that.
And to get Blast Attack, I propose Goldenrod's exploding partner. Give him Multi-Bot's green head in fleshwith a yellow helmet, but make the silver part look more like a head lamp, maybe pre-tool that head so that the silver part can be molded separately. Give him Trap-Jaw's arm with new pick-ax and jackhammer attachments, Rio Blast's opposite arm but with a fold out drill. Call him Mining Boom.

>>11509919
>>11510215
Fun adventures on Mobiu- I mean, uh, His World™, battling the evil Robotni- er, Egg Man, and his legion of robotized anim- no, wait, we're doing Egg Pawns™ powered by Chaos Drives™ now.

Honestly so much soul has been sucked from Sonic as a franchise none of the things that would make a crossover fun are currently allowed by Sega.

>>11510215
I love it. I wasnt sure if the scooby pics were worth posting on their own but Im glad you liked the sonic one.

>>11510227
I kind of agree. For as happy as I am that these new movies have done so well I also have had to come to terms with the fact that Sonic isnt for me anymore.

That said Penders could have a goldmine if he were self aware enough to realize that much and remold Scourge into a 90's Sonic pastiche.

>>11509415
point out the fact that Fuerza T is 99.9% re-use and cross my fingers in the hopes that they finally bite. I'd love to see more of the classics OCs in the line too but they're all very obviously heavy on new tooling.

>>11510045
It was cool and I wish Preternia as a whole lasted longer, or atleast got explored more extensively. I like cosmic key shenanigans. In an ideal world they would have used Preternia as the grounds for a crazy new wave of fresh faces. Maybe in an alternate universe where Mattel didnt take the plunge on the cannon movie.

>>11510099
Im very happy with the new 200X reveals. It seems like 200X got sidelined for so long, so it's nice to see it back and realized with such extreme cartoon accuracy. That said I still get the sense that all the Netflix stuff from Nu-Ra onwards was a major wash. CGI-Man unforutnately got caught up in that mess too. If it had gotten the sheer volume of advertising and hype as Rev did it might have done better but the salt was already being rubbed in the wound.

>>11510124
Reminder Boss Fight is currently producing Origins styled Conan and Red Sonja figs.

>>11510275
If you wanna throw them in if nothing else I'm sure they'll be worth a look. If you can go heavier on your final line-work that will make it easier for me to adjust the contrast and clean it up for colouring. I can try to get those done later.

>>11510296
Thank you, I will have to get those.
>>11509514
Oh damn it I may be able to be convinced of this.

At first glance I thought Teela had a heavy tan and wasn't wearing much in that picture.

>>11510275
You should've posted them on their own, they are amazing

>>11510464
Space Kook Skeletor when?

I personally love crossovers because its clear Mattel can't create new villains or heroes for MotU so atleast we get some badass designs with crossovers.

>>11509855
>>11509854
Hm yes, this would be kino of the highest order. I'm imagining a Megator that opens up into a playset. Tytus too, why not!

>Shaggy as He Man
>Daphne as Teela
>Velma as Sorceress

I can't think of the rest, maybe use monsters from other scooby doo series too?

>>11510488
Ghost Girl as Evil Lyn or....Phantasma

Ghost Girl is the only monster that gets toys from Mystery Inc. series, probably most iconic female villain too.

>>11510464
>>11510465

Aww heck yeah dawg. Thanks for posting these and reminding me of why I like Motu in the first place.
Because it sure ain't this corny crossover talk. Feels like we are being raided.

>>11510619
>nooooo you can't have fun with crossovers reeee
You sure are fun at parties

See >>11510135
Come on bro. This thread has been more about stuff hypothetically could come out than anything thats actually real.
SDCC got a lukewarm response to Transformers, anons were expressing fatigue with crossovers in the thread.
For reals though, Scooby Do X Motu made me laugh and I would genuinely rather buy them than shoehorning in more 80s IPs.

And a thought about crossovers. What about people who don't like or care about the other IP in the mix?
I know about Turtles so I got a few.
I know nothing about Transformers and don't see myself buying any of these. Kind of the same with Scooby Do except I know I would impregnate movie Velma and Daphne.
The point is if crossovers are supposed to boost sales by targeting multiple fans, I wonder what data there is about fans of 1 brand that end up buying none.

>>11510619
i prefer motu to stay itself too, but it was fun goofing off about motu and scoobydoo

>>11510633
>What about people who don't like or care about the other IP in the mix?
my main gripe is if the crossover stuff is too different or recognisceable in terms of style.
The MNT stuff had too many overly specific turtle flourishes for me to use a lot of parts.
Wich is a shame because they came with coloured limbs I enjoyed otherwise.

>>11510464
>>11510465
Aaaand I'm back.
I tried to incorporate Shaggy's usual colour schemes into the He-Man clothing. I wanted to make Scooby a little more Battle cat-esque, so I added in the green shading on the back and changed the collar from the typical blue into the Battle cat armour Red.

>>11510464
>>11510465
>>11510647
This was much easier to knock in terms of the mixture, so I just coloured it as Scooby wearing the Battle Cat armour, but obviously with the yellow striping. From the art I got the impression that it was meant to have Scoob's regular nose, but I thought it would be fun to make it red like the armour.
For the logo I used the colour schemes of both properties but flipped them, so the "Battle" bit is using the Scooby-Doo scheme, and the "Scoob" is in the He-Man style. Just for some extra mixing.
These were both great drawings and I had a lot of fun colouring them. If anyone (especially original art anon) wants I can provide the plain cleaned-up line-work.

>>11510640
The Scooby stuff is fun I admit. So were the old Motu- muppet babies. Drawanon always blesses these threads so I'm not complaining about him.
But it is very strange that last thread all the chatter was about being over crossovers and suddenly when we aren't at bump limit anymore we have multiple Transforms x He-Man lists, cards with all these other IPs being posted, all this Scooby talks and more lists...shit gottdamn it feels like a lot of something I don't want.

>threads are always better after 350+ posts anyways

>>11510619
The only decent crossover suggestion has been Dino-Riders, and several of us have said that for months.
But Drawanon is having a blast so I'm trying not to be a Grinch about it.

>I know nothing about Transformers and don't see myself buying any of these.
I love Transformers and own a bunch of figures from various lines from Prime to Masterpiece. I don't want this shit either.

>>11510687
Another good suggestion was using NA as the bridge to visit Bravestarr, Blackstar, and Earthword Jim. Basically whoever is in space.
Redpill me on Dino-Riders please. Does their lore fit in nicely with Preternia? Or is it more like the both had the same idea about techno dinos so let's roll with that.
Would DR make good Origins figures? Or should Motu go small and mingle with reissued DR toys?

>>11510647
>>11510651
A scooby doo crossover is such a silly and brilliant idea. Damn, I need this

Minicomic Catra is best Catra, and it's high time the Tooner Mafia's stranglehold on the PoP designs gets broken

>>11510698
>Does their lore fit in nicely with Preternia?

It can
The Valorians are peaceful humanlike race whose planet is invaded by the Rulons
They try to escape the invasion using a time machine, but the Rulons follow them and they all end up stranded to ancient earth.
Then the Valorians befriend dinosaurs by psychically communicating with them and the Rulons enslave dinos with mind control.

>Another good suggestion was using NA as the bridge to visit Bravestarr, Blackstar, and Earthword Jim. Basically whoever is in space
True. As a kid I always had it in my own headcanon that Marshal Bravestarr and Rio Blast were colleagues.
I don't mind the crossover ideas that fit with the MOTU concept. I just don't like "hey, let's dress up He-man as Optimus or a Ghostbuster or >insert nostalgic franchise<" kind of crossovers. I'm not a big ThunderCats fan, but at least that one meshes well. I know that DC is probably inevitable, although I'm luke warm to that idea.
>Does their lore fit in nicely with Preternia?
Not really, but sort of. They travel back in time due to their equivalent of the fuck up in Macross that sends the SDF-1 to Pluto, but it sends them all back in time, and the evil Rulons enslave the dinos with brain boxes that mind control the dinos, but the good guys just kind of tame them with telepathic necklaces.
The only real correlation is the going back in time and giving dinosaurs lasers.
>Or is it more like the both had the same idea about techno dinos so let's roll with that.
That's it. I just think it would be the gateway to getting the actual POG dinos made.
Also in Dino-Riders, the bad guys were anthropomorphic critters like insects, hammerhead sharks, and...snakes. They would make decent Origins guys. The good guys were kind of boring and forgettable.

>>11510647
>>11510651
I love how you color my art. You do a great job of breathing life into it. Had I known how well these pics would be received I'd have drawn the entire cast sooner.

Fwiw I was thinking Battle Scoob's armor would borrow it's color scheme from the Mystery Machine, and his spots/stripes would borrow from the colors of his dog tag. You really nailed both Scoob and Shag-He in anycase. Awesome work anon. I even appreciate the logo colors you went with. It feels very on brand for Mattel.

Do you guys look at the Snake Lair debacle and think "if all the money, time and effort that went into the first one and the new one had been used to make more figures instead, how many additional figures would we have right now?"

>>11510673
As always I'm happy to deliver. I think it all just boils down to plain coversation. Everyone has their own ideal crossover idea in mind. Again I recognize why many feel fatigued, but after nearly 20 years of MOTU being absent I'm ecstatic to see it chug along in any capacity. At the very least both Turtles and Transformers looked interesting and experimental. Had they stuck to the standard origins buck for the Thundercats men I would have been alot more cheery. Granted we 're getting an incredible 200X out of those Cats parts, but I really just wanted an 5.5 styled Lion-O with origins articulation.

>>11510763
There were plans for a She-Ra styled Wonder Woman toyline in the 1990's which were never fully realized. I think facets of DC could work well, maybe having the Warlord act like a liason between the heroes of Earth and Eternia? The Atom was a barbarian/sword and sorcery guy for a time aswell. Superman has plenty of Flash Gordon and John Carter influence baked into him too.

>>11510490
>Most iconic female villain
>Not Revolta
>Not the Zombie Island cat-women
>Not Sarah Ravencroft

>>11510786
>Not the Swamp Witch or the Ghost of Melissa Wilcox from the actual original series

If you think about it, MOTU/Street Sharks actually works better as a crossover given the characters have gimmicks
>Power Punch Ripster with a "shark-themed" version of the Power Sword
>Battle Streex
>Don't know if Slammu or Jab should be combined with Ram Man or Fisto
>Piranoid with a piranha skull
>Robotic version of the Landshark
>Sleek shark-man He-Man
>Various Masters with aquatic/sealife-themed versions (Maybe Orko in a modified diver suit)
>Skeletor in his own version of Piranoid's power armor with a skull-launching arm. Maybe even a feature that turns his face from Skeletor the Keldor
>Various Evil Warriors gene-slammed with different sea-life IE Anglerfish Trap-Jaw
>Mer-Man, Spikor, and Clawful are turned into hulking versions of themselves

That's why I occasionally mention it. At this point it would be a great way to release the remaining Street Sharks villains too. I hope it happens but I dont expect it to.

>>11510845
That's how I feel about all the crossover packaging. I can already tell Im going to end up keeping the TF boxes just for how cool the art is...

>>11509316

It’s been that way since the beginning. I think the back bio just says Special Friend of She-Ra. I guess back then they didn’t want little girls getting She-Ra wrapped up in relationships. Filmation’s unused story lines had her winding up with Sea Hawk so that’s what Classics ran with and is currently the roadmap for Mattel’s current lore.

>>11510824
OC customs are rare to come by but I know a few

>>11510829
Revolution already had He-Man quip "I prefer my uncles once removed!" When he fights Skeletor after learning he's the same person as Keldor.

>>11510969
if stupid grizzlor cc didn't have the horde molded on the fur we could do a kitbash thundarr within reason

Cats

>>11509289
>First to say "fuck off we're full" to snakes

>>11510984
I think that was more attempt at having He-Man quip like he did in Filmation. MCU humor is more like people trying to be serious only to get confused distracted and then it stretches awkwardly.

>>11509287 (OP)
Does or did MotU ever do aliens?

>>11511077
https://www.transformerland.com/wiki/masters-of-the-universe-motu/he-man-the-new-adventures/

>>11511077
New Adventures
Comet Warriors
Zodac
Rio Blast
Evil Horde
Etheria
Roboto

HE-MAN'S MOM

>>11511079
>>11511086
Aren't the snake men aliens too? I'm sure I read they fell from the stars in Preternia

>>11511077
>>11511079
Aliens in MotU before The New Adventures of He-Man:
The Snake Men (mini-comics continuity only)
Stonedar, Rokkon and Granita of Geolon
Grizzlor (only specified in UK comic)
Gwildor of Thenuria
Saurod

Rio Blast and Blade are officially from other planets than Eternia, Etheria or Earth even though they just look human.
Filmation had a bunch more aliens, from Plundor to Horde Prime.

>>11511086
Skelly is also originally from an other dimension so technically alien (depending on which canon?)

>>11511090
Thenuria is another planet? I always thought it was a region on Eternia

>>11511114
I wish MotU lore made more sense, that we had a map of Eternia and it was more than just mountains and forests, that we had more cultures. Just more worldbuilding and history.

>>11509323
Why not Megator, oh right...

Maybe but then I wouldnt know what better to pair Skeletor with. Granted there's likely an obvious alternative going over my head in anycase.

>>11511491

I don't necessarily need a DC crossover per se, but I do need someone to put out a Granny Goodness figure that'll scale relatively decently.
I think I'd have no problem locating a Darkseid, though I know a couple of my options in the scale are overpriced

>>11511508
As far as Darkseid goes you're spoiled for choice nowadays. Mcfarlane, Mattel BAF, the various DC Directs, Beast Kingdom, Mezco. It boils down to your budget and tastes.

Man I dont think the TF crossover could come up with anything this cool but it sure would be awesome if it did.

Could you consider to make MotU x Dragon Ball Z too?

>>11511246
>>11511759
>>11511779
Okay, this one took me a while. A LOT of line-work to do. For this one I tried using a pen type in PS that replicates pencil, which in hindsight was a mistake because it took a lot of effort to get it to darken properly. It'll probably be tomorrow before I can get to the next image. I hope folks enjoy, if anyone has colour suggestions feel free and I can tweak them.
Also holy shit there are so many different orange spots on the Gang's colour scheme.

>>11511790
I LOVE IT!

Thanks again for coloring all these anon. Really I cant thank you enough. I'm forever grateful

>>11510907
Saved.
This is so rad. It really brings all the details in the sculpt to life.
This makes me want to get into painting some of then old vintage playsets that pop up.
>>11511246
Madam Razz would make a good Velma. Lol or Orko. Just a sweater and some milkers. His eyes already look like glasses to.

>>11511250
>>11511779
>>11511915
I'm glad. These are really fun images and were a fun challenge. Also this Spooky Space Skeletor ended up not taking me as much time as I thought. So for the hell of it I added in a background, I actually used a still from the Space Kook episode to get those classic Scooby-Doo trees in there.
As for Skele himself, I figured just using the animation colours might end up a little flat, so I referenced the original toy colours, which made the head a little more dynamic and added in the red eyes where the Kook had the white, plus the red jewel on the front. While Skeletor's body is blue, I actually tried to match the blue from the Kook to bring in a little of that colour scheme. I also added some (admittedly amateurish) highlights onto the metal parts to help sell that shiny surface further.

I hope everyone enjoys.

>>11511928
Something I forgot to mention, the colour scheme also gives this a vaguely 90s Goosebumps book cover vibe. To me at least.

>>11511932
Hahaha yeah it really does nail that goosebumps vibe.

Back up the thread, you were right about making Battle Scoob's nose red. It looks proper as a piece of the helmet.

>>11511928
Amazing. Mattel hire these men right now

Also, would you guys be angry if somehow we see MotU x Scooby Doo in the future and the designs are similar to yours?

>>11511928
It turned out perfectly. Imcouldnt have asked for any better. 11/10!
>>11511779
I'm open to DBZ suggestions if anyone has any

Ok, but can you imagine a proper Scooby Doo x MOTU crossover? With Skeletor chasing Mystery Gang trough the Snake Mountain? Tell me it's not everything you wanted.

>>11512019
Drawanon here, not in the least bit. I'd just hope to get a job out of it.

>>11511790
If mattel ever gets around to making a $40 CC Attak Trak, I would love them to do this as a reuse friendly collab. It can just be a one off with the main cast and skeletor.

>>11512024
Skeletor chases the gang through Snake Mountain.
"Zoiks! It's a ghost!"
Scare Glow chases them.
"Zoiks! It's a similar ghost!"
Beast Man chases them.
"Zoiks! It's a werewolf!"
Mer-Man chases them.
"Zoiks! It's the Creature from the Bla--"
"Ruh-roh, Raggy! Rademark raw!"
Modulok runs in, grumbling how he hates this job.

>>11511551
it would sell as an official release methinks

>>11512021
>dbz suggestions
Ok, I was thinking
>He Man in Sayan style look
>Skeletor combined with Frieza
>Goku in more MotU look
Damn, now if I think about it, I really have no imagination for this idea, Scooby Doo was far easier

>>11512077
Prince Adam - Goku
He-Man - Super Saiyan Goku
Mer-Man - Cell (first form)
Mossman - Cell (perfect form)
Faker - Vegeta

>>11512091
And Skeletor?

>>11512096
Frieza!

>>11512091
>>11512126

I was just thinkin about this in the morning and frieza has to be skeletor, I was lost on vegeta but faker actually makes sense.

Cell may actually fit modulok, he is both very bug like, and the partswaping could function as a "transformation"

Hmmm...

Anyone else notice the unexplained gap in He-Man and Skeletor's lives between 1987 and the New Adventures cartoon?

1) The Power Sword looks different. He-Man has grown a ponytail and started wearing blue pants like Bow.
2) Skeletor already has his cybernetics and a different staff before meeting Flipshot and Hydron.
3) This guy is the only Evil Warrior living at Snake Mountain with the boss (no Snake Men either).

>>11510782
You would want Warlord and maybe Amethyst.

>>11512358
this is canon

>>11512358
I can't make out if Hordak's face is still on there. Man Mattel didn't even slap a coat of paint on it.
>>11512371
I have noticed those things. My best explanation is my old.stsnd by "this is about He-Man's son." And than a vigorous hand waving away of the finer details.

To people who say they like all Evil Warriors...even that guy?

MotU needs a character who uses a basic buck but is 100% vac metal.

>>11512511
...Whole design just clicks for me. Thoughts?

>>11512358
I mentioned this line a few times in the past. It's often overlooked for some reason. In retrospect the cartoon seemed like a way to cross the streams between MOTU and Power Rangers, but I think it predates Rangers by a year or two.

My BBTS Fright Zone is in.

>>11512530
For a few years now I've actually imagined something like that but for Fuerza T, realized with Saban production quality. Really just about any of the MOTU copy cats could make it happen. Imagine the Formo Toys guys putting their money behind Galaxy Warriors the series.

>>11512438

>>11512767
>>11512797

>>11512767
Snakehorse is actually part of the bottom tier now? Now I have to put my money where my mouth is. Who wants to buy a lair (snorse not included) from me after it's funded?

>>11512767
Oh fuck yes

>>11512358
I've mentioned as much in previous threads but even PoP had its own legacy of Mattel copycats. I believe Gweneviere and the Jewel Riders was even produced by the same people behind this King Arthur show. The Tenko line was also very PoP-esque.

>>11512753
>>11512767
>We heard you
You heard the part where people said the most desirable part of the crowdfund being the final stretch goal meant they weren't going to back it if they weren't guaranteed to get what they wanted.
You didn't hear the part where people said $300 is still too damned much for this.

>>11512856
>You didn't hear the part where people said $300 is still too damned much for this.
They won't go back on the price. That's for sure. The old one was floated for $300. The new one is obviously $300. Mattel wants $300. The shock is only them thinking moving the horse from maybe to when funded will be what pushes people over with nothing new was otherwise added to justify that cost. People wanted a cheaper set or more stuff upfront to validate that price.

Still a no from me cause the design sucks changing the backside so much. It lost all the soul of the art.

>>11511790
So I just realised I forgot to colour the front roof rack correctly, so here is the proper version. I also went ahead and added the decal on the side that I was too lazy to do yesterday.

>>11512912
And because it's a hybrid with the Attack Trak I modified the decal as an alternative.

>>11509615
Could be fun enough, although even more redundant now if we get the snake lair.

>>11512902
The stairs were great but the entire rest of that side I think it was obvious needed some changes. However I did like some of the fan ideas I saw kicked around. Someone in here drew a boulder trap like Indiana jones that incorporated the stairs and kept the etchings, that was probably my favorite. Some of the inside options were a bit more interesting too.

>>11512912
>>11512913
nice

>>11512913
cool. i wonder what Shaggy and Scooby look like

>>11512913
>>11513009
nevermind i missed them higher i just arrived. they look great too

>>11512767
Well, that's some unexpected good news. I don't give a fuck about Axel's Snake Priest but the Snorse looks awesome and holding it ransom at a 10,000 backed tier meant it wasn't going to be included. I hope the $300 price tag doesn't keep this new Snake Lair from reaching funding, with the design changes and the mount I'm really looking forward to adding it to my MOTU collection.

>>11512752
Back again. So this was really fun in terms of being able to mix in both He-Man and Goku's colour schemes. Originally I was going to go with the standard bare legs, but I thought that it might be a little more interesting to mix in some Prince Adam flavour, and gave it a bit of head canon that it's one of those situation where the hero isn't able to access his super powers and has to become more capable in their base form, so I ran with the idea of Adam going to Roshi to train. Hence the purple pants and white undershirt, but I also added in blue for the bracers to reference Goku's sweatbands, and the gold on the belt from He-Man's belt and of course the requisite brown on the boots. I also decided to colour the scabbard (assuming it is a scabbard an not just the end of the sword) on He-Man/Adam's back red as a reference to early Dragon Ball Goku's extending bo staff. I also went with grey for the trimmings and sword belt as a reference to the power harness.
For the logo I was originally just going to go with the standard Dragon Ball red and yellow, but thought that isn't really enough MOTU flavour, and thought about going with the MOTU blue, but because the red and yellow is so striking I kept it, but added in some shading like the New Adventures of He-Man gold looking logo. Over all this is a really toyetic design.
Hope everyone enjoys.

>>11512803

>>11512914
If they were gonna make it, they would have to chage the side with the wolf. The original one is totally different. Looks like there is a boulder you can pop out and some sort of a cave.

>>11512076
I agree. Doesn't even have to be Skeletor specifically, just a dead astronaut animated by cosmic rays.
It's also kind of funny how all the Scoobfags didn't pick up on how similar he is to >>11511928

>>11512803
>>11513285
And here we go. I tried to keep it simple with this one and honestly I don't think the colouring turned out as well as I hoped, also I hope I haven't over-stepped my inking/colourist duties but I added another spike to Goku's fringe to match the original design closer.
I tried to emulate early 90s DBZ toys by making Goku oddly pale like a lot of figures were, using an old Bandai figure I have on my desk. Regardless I hope folks enjoy, and I have something else coming next.

>>11513334
I thought it might be fun to add in some shiny highlights and shadows, as well as giving the appearance of yellowed plastic and rubbed paint. As if you were pulling a 30 year old toy out of a tub in an old thrift store or some rural antique shop shed that has a few random toys tucked into a back corner.
To that end I think that's probably my strongest memory of MOTU toys from when I was a very young kid, travelling random places and it seemed like every time we went into any kind of secondhand store, there'd be a box of beat up MOTU figures in a corner somewhere, usually with a Stridor and Buzz-off right on top.
I hope this version generates some kind of nostalgic memory for other the way I tried to replicate my own.

>>11513159
I love this, very fun

They didn't change grayskull, despite there being easy opportunities to make it closer to the original- even if they didn't take the big plunge to change the shell, could have easily gone relatively low cost to get some of the other original accessories in.

If they couldn't even put in a few small accessories they certainly wouldn't change half a shell, not there and not here with snake mountain.

>>11512435
>"this is about He-Man's son."
Yeah, I think that works best. Just add a bearded, middle-aged Adam to the "saying goodbye to the family" scene.
A big tell that this should be a different person from Filmation He-Man is the absence of Cringer/Battle Cat in his Eternia scenes in Episode 1. If I remember correctly they rarely did the transformation sequence without him (though maybe it happened in a such of She-Ra appearances).
Though if you prefer the mini-comics, most pages of Adam powering up are solo.
(Anyway now I'm just imagining an NA Battle Cat in a spandex spacesuit with a bubble helmet and little boots.)

>>11513341
Thanks for sharing those memories. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that era.
We got a long weekend coming up and if this was 1992 again, by the Monday evening I could have filled my car with second hand Grayskulls and Snake Mountains.
Other than Buzz Off, the most common figures to find where Fisto, Ram Man and Mechaneck. Does that mean the sold the most or that no one wanted to keep them?

>>11513418
>Other than Buzz Off, the most common figures to find where Fisto, Ram Man and Mechaneck. Does that mean the sold the most or that no one wanted to keep them?
There are contradictory sources on whether the most MotU toys were sold in 1985 or 86.
In the 1986 Mattel catalogue for toy dealers, Buzz-Off was still in production, as were Orko, Prince Adam, He-Man, Man-At-Arms and Teela among the Heroic Warriors. Fisto, Ram Man and Mekaneck were not.

>>11513418
>>11513440
The Original Skeletor, Beast Man, Evil-Lyn Webstor and Kobra Khan were the only bad guys from 84 or earlier still produced for US buyers.

>>11513418
In 1985, every figure from back to the beginning of the line was being offered except Zodac, Faker... and Ram Man. That suggests the most common figures you found were the ones no one wanted to keep, rather than highest production runs.
I know my extensive vintage collection included a Zodac complete with his "apron" and handgun. Either I got lucky at a yard sale or was gifted when MotU was dying on the pegs at $2.99 each a Zodac that had been sitting unwanted since at least the '84 holiday season.

I'm happy you liked my DBZ efforts too. Admittedly alot of japanese styles are harder for me to grasp. The idea has potential and that anon from earlier suggested some great ideas but I worried my art wasnt able to capture the Toriyama look. You really ran with what I delivered and your head canon made it all the more endearing. I was going to stop with those two pics but now I think I might give Faker-geta and Mer-Frieza a stab.

(Also yes it is meant to be a scabbard for the Power Sword. I pulled influence from Trunks for that)

I love how you colored Goku too. The roughed up second hand version especially. Reminds me of when I found a chewed up Buzz Off (missing a chunk of his fore arm) alongside Roboto and a naked Skeletor in a thrift store as a kid. I knew who they were then because of 200X, and despite the design inconsistencies I loved them anyways.

Initially I tried to draw a Super Saiyan He-man but I wasnt liking how it turned out. I've catboxed it for those curious to see it. Just sort of ended up looking like a cross between Raditz and Super Baby from GT.

Filmation Evil Warriors trivia:
Clawful and Panthor were the first recurring EW to disappear, last appearing in the sequential episodes "The Secret of Grayskull" and "No Job Too Small".
Whiplash last appears in "The Toy Maker".
Mer-Man last appeared in "The Games", Episode 128, and Evil-Lyn in "To Save the Creatures", 129.
Tri-Klops and Kobra Khan appeared together in The Secret of the Sword (and Kobra Khan in MotU 130, if that came out later).
Modulok and Tung Lashor are the only minions seen with Skeletor in "Gateway to Trouble".
Webstor, Spikor and Two Bad last appear in The Christmas Special... alongside Rattlor.
Beast Man and Trap Jaw last appear in "Assault on the Hive".

>>11513451
If you've got an extensive vintage collection, can you help me out with a list of the domestic variants?
Stuff like Red Neck Rattlor, round back Two-Bad, painted back Tung Lasher.
I know there is an uncommon version of Leech but not sure what to look for.

Also I can confirm not wanting to keep Ram Man. Even as am adult he seems cheap and hollow.

"Assault on the Hive" is an odd episode. It's Skeletor's only post-Christmas Special Filmation appearance. James Eatock's book has its script being finished on April 23, 1986, but according to Wikip[edia She-Ra's second season was divided into just 14 episodes each for Fall 1986 and 1987, meaning it didn't air until 28 November 1987, months after the MotU movie was nailing the universe's coffin shut.
While it was in production way too early to promote any 1987 Evil Warriors, it had a belated attempt to shill MotU toys as well as PoP ones, with the only Filmation appearance of Meteorbs (Dinosorbs and Comet Cat only).
Skeletor's plot is to seize a starship and enslave the thousands of bee people living on it, which he thinks will be an army large enough to "conquer Horde Prime himself". This picks up from his last appearance, where he burned his bridges with Horde Prime with a Havoc Staff blast to save two Earth children.

>>11513510
>Stuff like Red Neck Rattlor, round back Two-Bad, painted back Tung Lasher.
Yeah, there are those three. I know I got the more common yellow neck Rattlor in 86, as well as the painted back Tung Lashor.
I forget which Two Bad I was given as a little boy, but the flat back is more common. The arms attach at slightly different angles and they have different card back instructions (round back advertises removable arms). I know I'd make my original use the "power punch" gimmick in the shoulders to make him punch himself in the opposite faces... I'll have to dig them out to see if that works on both.
Dark plastic Grizzlor is a domestic variant (that I've never tried to buy).
Clawful with Skeletor legs instead of Buzz-Off's.
The Man-E-Faces with extra maroon weapons is himself a variant figure, having pink instead of maroon torso tubes.
Squishable vs hard heads on the early male figures.

The snake lair page is back up, anything different about it besides the chimera being part of the base project now?

2003: "The Power of Grayskull makes He-Man look the way he does because it comes from his ancestor, Bigger He-Man."
2021: "Let's make He-Man's ancestor the same height, but also black."
Also 2021:

"What if this King Grayskull character was actually interesting?"

>>11513483
I got a question

Heroes basically have a main cast, right? He-Man, Battle Cat, Duncan, Teela and Orko. What's about Evil Warriors? Did the seriously changed line-up in every episode or was some team was more common than others?

>new Mattel Creations email
>Help Celebrate Barbie the Movie's 2nd Anniversary!!!

This is not a fucking thing, Mattel.

>>11513608
Evil-lyn, Beast Man and Trap Jaw were the most recurrent Evil Warriors iirc. Maybe Mer-Man too? But less so than the other 3.
Tri-klops hardly ever showed up and rest didn't even debut until season 2

How many MOTU-Transformers waves do you think are coming? We all know we're getting a wave 2 with He-Man Optimus and someone as Starscream, but I hope we get at least 3 waves so we can have some kind of Soundwave merger.

>>11513608
>What's about Evil Warriors? Did the seriously changed line-up in every episode or was some team was more common than others?
As >>11513625 said, Beast Man, Trap Jaw and Evil-Lyn were probably a common team with Skeletor due to being in so many episodes. Those are the only 4
https://frankshemanpage.net/
Doesn't list appearances for. After that was
Mer-Man in 17
Whiplash in 12
Tri-Klops in 11
Kobra Khan in 8
Clawful in 7
Webstor in 5 + Christmas Special
Spikor, Two Bad each in 4 + Xmas

>anything different about it besides the chimera being part of the base project now?
Nope. 928 backers so far but it'll limp soon enough. All the usual channel shills are trying to talk it up.

Also
>Ships on or before 11-20-2026

Oof

I've put my money where my mouth was. I'm all in for the snorse.

>>11512502
Vac metal looks amazing but you basically have to put it somewhere that the user isn't going to touch often, or it ends up looking like shit. It's even worse when they have to paint on top of vac metal because not even factory paint will stick to it, although if the only detail is eyes it might not be as bad.

>>11513667
>928 backers so far but it'll limp soon enough. All the usual channel shills are trying to talk it up.

I think it's gonna easily fund
And I don't even say that out of a sense of optimism or shilling
I say that because of how cynical I am of this fan base and their willingness to throw money Mattel's way in spite of whatever bitching.

>>11513754
Just saying the rush of backers will slow down alot. Hitting 6k just before the Early Bird leaves feels like limping compared to Day 1 1000+ backers or any HasLab that gets funded in 12-24 hours

>>11513649
I think Mattel themselves are uncertain about the effort, which is why they've only planned two "waves". If the demand was there however I'd love to see Shockwave + Trapjaw and Triklops + Soundwave. The heroic warriors merging with the autobots seems like a harder sell though. I can more or less imagine He-Man Prime pretty well, but how do you handle the other heroes? Rio-Blast, Fisto, Buzz-Off, Moss Man. None of them have direct analogues in transformers.

Maybe Hot Rod + Rio?

>>11513563
>>11513568
CGI-man would have been such a hit had it released a decade earlier. All of the cool ideas they had were wasted on a streamer exclusive. The toys being so simplistic probably didnt do alot for sales either.

>>11513682
May you get what you're looking snor.

>>11513545
Dark Grizzlor is the only one I have. And thats just because my flipper friend knew I like motu and put him aside for me.
Due to space and budget limitations, I dont aim to collect a complete vintage line. I'm happy getting my childhood favorites and the variants to spice things up.

>>11513392
It's a meme to dab in Scott and his contributions to Motu lore...but I loved the idea of King He-Man. Having the old rusted techno power sword was a nice touch.
It's very easy to imagine him saying goodbye to Dare as he leaves to take on the resurrected Skeletor in space.

As a side note, can anyone tell me why Skeletor's 200x power sword looks so different? I am not a huge 200x buff but from what I remember, Skeleton finally got both halves of the sword and MAA had to build Adam a replacement sword. Am I forgetting something? Skeletor's sword doesn't look like He-Man would have used it to transform.

>>11513608

Skeletor's sword doesn't look like He-Man would have used it to transform.
The 4 Horsemen sculpted at least some of the figures before Mattel and Mike Young Productions decided the fiction to go along with them would be a reboot. They'd wanted it to be a continuation with that lore.
Both halves of the sword Skeletor came with are obviously based on the 1982 Power Sword, though they could no longer be symmetrical. The one with the bird wing design looks like they intended it to be He-Man's half.
I don't know if the forging of the double-swords-that-had-nothing-to-do-with-Castlde-Grayskull was ever flashed back to in a comic.

>>11512733
Likely MV Dlx Moss Man. On 8/28 is a WWE Collector's item which could be the MOTU Origins style Superstars 2-Pack of Rocky Mavia (debut character of The Rock) and The Final Boss (current character if The Rock) given the $$.

>>11513844
Buzz-Off should have been with Bumblebee

>25% funded already

Think this is a positive sign for the crowd funds outcome?

>>11513844
>>11514091
>Buzz-Off should have been with Bumblebee
Yeah, Man-at-Arms is better suited to Iron Hide. This is becoming a problem with Hasbro that because of the Bayformer movies they've whittled down the Autobot must-haves to basically just Optimus and Bumblebee. So licensors get those two and think they're done.

>>11513844
My guess:

He-Man=Optimus
Teela=Windblade
Moss Man=Grimlock
Stratos=Jetfire
She-Ra=Arcee
Bow=Hot Rod

I got a 20% of MOTU coupon for backing the snake lair. Neat.
>>11514112
It's definitely funding. Probably hitting 8000.

It's Friday night. Let's talk about Motu toys. These are all the ones I've gotten or opened the last couple weeks
>gorgon and rattlor
Maybe this is old news but they reuse the same hands and feet. Btw these fuckers are hard to keep balanced.
>the fiend
Super7 is over priced but this feels solid and stands up easy. It's hard to see but he's wearing boots and had an arm guard. And his ribcage is molded not painted on like i figured it would be. So there are some little touches. I think he would look great with a cape and a hood.
>fang man
Probably the least exciting. I'm going to team him up with Geldor because they are both immortal.
>hordak
Above average in my imagination. Leans into Eternia as post-apocalyptic. The Horde as a biker gang (stolen and painted road rippers.) They terrorize the ruins of the great city Eternos, until they finally clash with Fisto of the North Star.
>grizzlor
Pretty cool. Liked him more than I thought. Would have been great if he had come with alternate claws instead of the terror claws. If that makes sense.
>Huk
The best hands down. Stands easy, feels nice and heavy, durable. It's like if you've ever held galaxy warrior you know they just feel not as nice as a real Masters. But this remake is like someone made what your imagination elevated a GW to be.
The packaging recreated the old galaxy hole style. In a weird way it never could be a genuine vintage one because it all looked and feeled very professional.
It came with a little minicomic to. It's definitely more like the original four in style and vibe.

It might seem like I'm shilling but I'm not. I dont work for formo and in fact I think they are mildly annoyed by me. But at the end of the day I can't lie that Huk is hands down the best on the table.
Look at that cape! Not the thin see through crap Mattel uses.
Second best was Hordak because he looks like a heckin heavy dude and got my mind working on stories for him.

>>11514206
What's that about Fang Man being immortal

>>11514214
lol i just made that up. He came with a plate with an infinity symbol on it. I don't remember what the episode was about so...the plate makes you immortal.

>>11514240
The plate is the Wheel of Infinity
When you start spinning it , you can't stop it, and keeps spinning faster and faster and growing larger and larger until it blows up
So Skeletor's plan was to go back thousands of years, go to the spot Grayskull will be built and start the wheel spinning so that it will blow up Grayskull on the present or something

>donnie still in prison
(F)

Hot take: Eternia is a poorly designed toy for the space it takes up in your house.
It's about 48 inches wide and about 36 to the top of Central Tower's cannon. For all that, you get 3 decent sized rooms, a jail cell, the periscope room and a large and small parapet for figures to play in.
Convert that footprint to a basic dollhouse design and you could have 12 inch wide (width of a room in Castle Grayskull) columns of rooms 4 levels of 8-9 inches high each plus playable roof space. There could still be good, evil and neutral ones separated by 6" wide shafts that could have trap doors on top and could function as an elevator shaft or have a first floor room for a monster to live.

>>11514779
That's like complaining that the Lego Futuron Monorail is a poorly designed set because it took up so much space and didn't have a trapdoor like the Black Monarch's Castle while ignoring the main play feature of the playset: the fucking monorail.

>>11514820
Has anyone who bought this taken a pic of every character in Origins (that was made at the time) doing the monorail dance?

>>11514834
...motherfucker, you just made me wish I'd bought Eternia...I'm exactly the type who WOULD take that picture

>Alot of Princess of Powers characters obviously are being left out right now
>I talked to some people, I won't mention names, but I heard they're holding off because they want DreamWorks to sell the rights back to Mattel, and by making these products it's kinda boosting the popularity and they don't want DreamWorks to say "oh, people are liking this? Then we're gonna hold on to it". They want to "kill the brand" until it can be bought back which is why we didn't see a lot of Princess of Power

>>11513659
>>11513937
Huh, interesting. How about Evil Horde? Do they got mains?

>>11515047
I just knew it that New Etheria wont have any more POP characters.We probably only got any origins POP (I guess aside from She-Ra herself) as excuse to put Hordak, Girzzlor, Leech and Mantenna again.

>>11515064
If the idea was to "kill the brand", youd think they'd have done nothing.
Like MAYBE just the She-Ra/Swift Wind set to say they did something to celebrate the 40th, but then just kinda leave out Bow, Catra, Weaver and Frosta in favor of Fisto, Sorceress, Mekaneck and Kobra Khan, do the Filmation versions of the MotU Hordesmen and just shrug off whatever criticism. And then not bother with the New Etheria stuff, omit She-Ra and make all those new MV Horde just regular New Eternia.

>>11514133
See, the problem is that crossovers arent made for biggest nerds. They're for the masses. Exactly like that guy who said he wants more crossovers because all important MOTU characters were already made so there is no more point to exploring the franchise.

So we have to include all most important characters whether it makes sense or not. Same reason we didnt get Stockman in TMNT line-up. Not big name enough,

Are there any parts from old Snake Lair you will miss on the new one? Hard mode, besides Rattletrap.

>>11515064
>How about Evil Horde? Do they got mains

Yeah, Leech, Grizzlor, Mantenna, Shadow Weaver and Catra
MAYBE Scorpia, but I think they completely abandoned her by season 2 so despite early prominence, theres an argument that she's not really "main cast" like the rest are, who consistently saw use the entire series.

>>11515064
Presumably Mattel can contest Universal's call to ownership of the Horde because the characters appeared in the MOTU toyline before they did in the PoP toon.

>>11515070
Its a dead horse of a point to make now but I was one of the anons banging on the Stockman drum from the start. Hordak and his crew really should have been set aside for a Dimension X wave. That way more mutants could have gotten the MOTU treatment, Hordak's inclusion in the line would make more sense, and so too would his use of mutagen.

Maybe Hordak could have taken the spotlight from Shreddator and the snegs after He-man and the Turtles defeated them. Stockman could have been caught along the way and Hordak would have intercepted Krang before he could retreat to his home dimension. Only losening his grip once Krang and Stockman offered the Horde upgrades and reinforcements in return. With said reinforcements including Mutagen Man, Traag, Granitor, Wyrm, Tokka, Rahzar, and maybe even Chromedome.

>>11515072
Staircase, not the wall tho. Interior was better on the sketch too

>>11515064
Hordak was in 68 out of 93 episodes.
Mantenna, Grizzlor, Catra, Shadow Weaver and Imp were also in a ton.
>>11515073
Yes, Scorpia was forgotten about after 14 Season 1 episodes.
Leech had 16 appearances: 12 in Season 1 and 4 in Season 2.
Rattlor served the Horde in 6 episodes.
Tung Lashor served the Horde in 5, all in Season 1.
Modulok was in just 5 PoP Season 1 episodes and Multi-Bot in 2, served Hordak in the Christmas Special, and disappeared.
Entrapta was the only Horde member added in Season 2: 2 speaking roles and 2 mute cameos.
Dylamug and Octavia each appeared once per season.

>>11515193
So what I'm hearing is that I was actually wrong to call Leech maincast
He's as much NOT maincast as Scorpia

Just got my Skelly Shredder and off the bat I'd like to say to Roy Juarez and Lawrence Purkhrambam, if you ever read this, go fuck yourself for designing collectable display packaging that you nearly have to destroy to actually get to the figure inside. Especially whichever idiot made the call to tape the box tabs on the INSIDE of the packaging. You'd think they would have just made the top of the box a slip cover that could come off completely but it has large tabs on both sides to prevent you from lifting the top of the box all the way off.

>>11515070
>Same reason we didn't get Stockman in TMNT line-up. Not big name enough
Stockman is a far bigger name than Leatherhead or Slash, and outnumbers the appearances of both characters combined in 1987, 2003, and 2012 cartoons.

>>11513844

>Stockman is a far bigger name than Leatherhead or Slash, and outnumbers the appearances of both characters combined in 1987, 2003, and 2012 cartoons.
This.
Stockman with human arms/legs/head, fly arms/legs/head, fly wings and Modulok's hips, the tail with leg ports and splitters would have been a great way to get both his normal and 87-nostalgia looks in a MotU mashup.

Two new trademark renewals last month.
Nothing majorly earthshaking, just posting for interest's sake

So what's the deal with Preternia? Who lived there?
In Origins He-Ro's mini-comic, we see He-Ro, Eldor, Moss Man, the Great Black Wizard, Rattlor, Tung Lashor and Draego-Man. We also know Sharella and He-Ro were adoptive family who fought together.

We all know that Preternia was established, though not named, by Mattel designers for King Hiss's introduction.
Rattlor, Tung Lashor and ancestors of Kobra Khan were left on Eternia when King Hiss, Sssqueeze, Snake Face, Reptilax and the unnamed Snake Men on this page were hurled into a timeless dimension by the Council of Elders.

I can't figure out the current lore as to whether Lord Gr'Asp, Terroar and all of Axel's Snakes were there.

For the Origins Eternia crowdfund, there was an aborted attempt to acknowledge the 80s UK comic version of the Council of Elders by including a Keclar figure. But he went unmade and hasn't appeared in a comic.

>>11510060
>Hopefully will still see Stretch Neck in the concept line since he's a genuine vintage concept character.

You realize that that would mean he'd be released as "Rattlor" and would then NOT officially be treated as a unique character, effectively making it that Stretch Nek doesn't exist outside headcanon, right?

What we DID get in the mini-comic packed with Origins Eternia was a story about Black King Grayskull's true love being Osirah, the Sorceress of Central Tower.
It's Scott lore that the 200X version of KG and his wife Veena hung out with He-Ro and Eldor, but current fiction leaves an unclear timeline of
He-Ro's adventures <> KG and Osirah's adventures -> Council of Elders sink the Three Towers -> they banish most Snake Men

Does anyone want to explain to me why the Snake Lair stuff is completely focused on Lady Sltiher instead of King Hiss? It's just so weird to me. I mean, who even is she, just some Origins OC? King HIss has always been the leader of the Snake Men, featured in the minicomics, still one of the most desired Origins figures, actually just got a new ToG figure they could throw into the adverts. What's going on?

>>11516304
In the lore, which has been very poorly explained next to nowhere, the snake layer is on another planet entirely. Take note that this means it's not being worked into any sort of play pattern like Castle Grayskull- it's just a generic bad guy base and is largely redundant.
Because the base is on a different planet, it's focused on that wing of the snakemen's ruler: lady slither. This is what I can surmise and vaguely remember. The minicomics that come with a lot of Axel's OCs tell this story but I don't blame you for not knowing. It's not He-Man.

>>11516304
>Does anyone want to explain to me why the Snake Lair stuff is completely focused on Lady Sltiher instead of King Hiss?
No idea anon, somehow Axel has convinced Mattel that all the random OC designs he sketched up during the Classics run are highly desired by the fan-base? Like I said in a previous thread I don't care about Axels' OC Snakes and Mattel's constant need to push them. I know some people like them but IMHO the fact that the Snake Lair comes with another one and a variant of another makes the whole set less appealing overall. If it came with a cool King Hiss variant and any of the old school Repulsive Reptiles I'd be a lot more excited.

>>11516101
how are those retro reissue he man and skeletor figures anyhow?

>>11516425
They're actually really great, favorites for me right now . Solid enough. Not a ton of range on the legs but its ball pegs kinda like origins. Love the extra paint details. Accessories are cool. Lol the swords are basically the same as origins wave one with the colors reversed, you can tell from the hilt direction. Harnesses look like short strap versions. Its like owning pristine originals but they're better in a number of ways. The spring punch action feels authentic but fresh.

>>11516435
Forgot to add that the legs are noticably more bow legged to the sides than an original.

>>11516304
>mean, who even is she, just some Origins OC?

Classics OC
Axel made her up because him and Neitich apparently decided that Snakes needed just as many members as the other two teams
She's basically just an amalgamation of design elements from Zilora and King Hiss's slave girl with a snake tail because "reverse King Hiss! Her bottom turns into snakes, lmao"

>>11516372
>somehow Axel has convinced Mattel that all the random OC designs he sketched up during the Classics run are highly desired by the fan-base?

I don't think he needed to convince them
>Fangor won in the first Super7 fan poll (with Hawke, Lodar and Quakke) to chose the four figures for their first wave of the lines continuation
>Vypor also won in the third poll (with Tuvar, Kittrina and the Masks of Power Werewolf), but that wave never saw production because Mattel was pulling the license so Kittrina only got made by last minute shoe horning into the Club Filmation wave
>And Lady Slither has had verbal support for years

Looks to me like the fan base is responsible for this themselves. They demanded three of them, they must want more. So they oblige and get Axel to crank out more

Image searching online and came across this, seems to be from Emiliano Santalucia
>designs Twistoid with a pair of legs that fits his upper body's more blocky, angular look
>actually figure "just use Trap Jaw legs, bro"

Just why? The legs don't look too dissimilar from a set of Multi-Bot legs and MB and Twistoid came out practically the same time anyway

>>11516546
Yeah, that would have been much better parts sharing.

>>11516122
That April has a really cute face. The sculptors for Origins are seriously S-tier. I'm amazed how distinct they're able to make all the characters, and how well they've been able to transfer the likenesses from the cartoons into plastic.

Whiplash Bonecrusher
Scare Glow Bludgeon
Twistoid A cone head

>>11516664
Wait, I mixed up my Constructicons
Whiplash Scavenger. He's the one that can look like he had a tail

What's the best case scenario with the wildly overpriced Snake Lair?

Doesn't reach 6,000? (Maybe Mattel never does another MotU crowdfund?)
Over 6,000 but <8,000? (Mattel stops making Axel OCs?)
Over 8,000?

>>11516838
I think it has a fair shot at 8000.

ToG Mekaneck is $15 at BBTS, should I get him? Is he fun?

>>11516867
Yes: he's way better than a He-Man repaint with one neck piece instead of a gimmick. The only Origins Mekaneck I own.

>>11516867
It sucks that Mattel had no foresight and added the meat collar to the next extender. It's the reason I picked up the masterverse Mekaneck. the ball joints are the same as origins. If the vintage MV gets silver neck joints i might get him as well.

I can't wait for 200X Mekaneck, who also won't have a working action feature.

Are Bravestarr figures compatible with MOTU figures?

>>11516838
it'll get over the 8k mark the final day of push, but we'll be thankful there was no 10k goal.

>>11510069
>>11509365
I made him years ago. There's more upcoming motu figs based on my designs like the Slime Trooper so buckle up!

>>11512515
Fifteen years later.....well better late than never!

>>11517616
Looks very different. Now is the question if the idea of a scorpion character is a thing you can claim as your idea.

>Masterverse 200X
>Flat colors, no details, in the hame of "cartoon accuracy"
>The line with detail is Mondo's iverpriced shit which will be lucky to crank out 2 characters a year

You fucked up Transformers, now this.

>>11517616
>>11517622
Looks like garbage compared to Hunter Knight's work.

>>11517718
It amuses me people still mistake it for Masterverse.

https://edramatica.com/Jin_Saotome

Nice shit customs, pedo!

>>11517362
the vintage ones? Maybe Masterverse, but the scales are significantly different. Bravestarr scales with MEGO better than it does MOTU

>Webstor is a pretty tech-savy dude
>Leader of Space Mutants is just some fanged dude with whip, grappling hook in later toy

I propose reboot where Webstor got tired of Skeletor, fucked off to space and became leader of Space Mutants.

He will rename himself Webstar.

>>11518109
How did MotU create main villains likes Skeletor, Hordak, and King Hiss, and then go with this guy
He looks like another Evil Warrior, not a main villain.

>>11518116
It's probably because Skeletor stuck around. He was obviously going to be The Villain even if in cartoon he lets Flogg be official leader. So no point trying to make a dude to outshine him.

>>11518109
I wonder how well a line of New Adventures versions of established MOTU characters would have done. I still think the NA She-Ra Classics gave us was pretty fun.

>>11518133
You cant beat the marketability of everyone's favorite magic skeleton man!

>>11516838
I think it'll at least hit 6k.
8k seems doable, but probably not till the last couple days.
I am teetering on if I want to get it or not. $300 is a lot. If it was $200 I would have already put in my order.

>>11518145
As reluctant as I am to say anything positive about Scott, NA She-Ra is such a great idea.
The Evil Horde is in outer space. If She-Ra had ever had a happy ending where Etheria was free, it would still take a lot more fighting to defeat the Horde. At some point after his last guest appearance on her show, her brother goes into outer space. It's a no-brainer.
(Except for the fact that NA never mentions the Horde ever existing.)

>>11518109
>Webstor is a pretty tech-savy dude
>Leader of Space Mutants is just some fanged dude with whip, grappling hook in later toy
You know, I never even noticed that.
I'd certainly be interested in more MotU characters redesigned for space.

>>11518149
>I am teetering on if I want to get it or not. $300 is a lot. If it was $200 I would have already put in my order.
Really want to see the stream on the 7th add just a little more value to the set to get it moving better

Couple of Ross finds. They also had Cartoon Collection Hordak and Tri-Klops for the same price, but I honestly don't like the way their cartoon versions turned out so I passed.

>>11518532
ive seen togs hanging around my local ross stores, never seen any CC stuff. Could use the ManeFaces and triclops. Im willing to bet they're going to unload all those skeletor ships this holiday season to Ross as well. Sucks cause i wanted mattel to make a CC attack trak.

>>11518532
Checked two. Found an overpriced WWE RAW ring for $17 and the other had Superstars Ramon for $10

>>11518532
As of yet I've only spotted ToG Mekanek. If they'ed had leo I would have jumped.

>>11518435
There's a stream? That is cool, will check it out.
I think there'll be a jump on the 12th and 13th as the Lady Slither timed deal comes to a close. I know I will use that as my deadline to either jump on board or to pass entirely.
>>11514563
>>11518604
kek

>>11518116
What are you talking about? He is bright red and got this silver neck piece. He looks special. And since we got Skeletor, he just needs to look like a right hand character.

Got Despara, I know she's normally supposed to be Adora BEFORE being brought back to the side of good, but I really like the idea of her being Adora when she is turned evil again. That's one of my favourite tropes in any media, where one of the hero's or heroic group's core members gets brainwashed into being evil, but knows all of the good guy's secrets and combat plans, and can play twisted head-games with their former friends like Angel becoming Angelus or Tuxedo Mask.

>>11518860
If that's what you like, that's the right way to play with her.
Would she be She-Ra or Adora under the evil outfit? That has a huge implication for Despara's power level.

>>11518860
>>11518876
If Despara is evil Adora, she should absolutely get an evil She-Ra transformation.

>>11518876
>Would she be She-Ra or Adora under the evil outfit?
I think I'd split the difference. Like she can access the power of She-Ra, but because she's evil it's not at full strength.
In general I'm also not entirely sure how much I go for the Adam/He-Man, Adora/She-Ra identities being totally different people. I prefer to view it more like the early mini-comics, where He-Man is just who he is all the time and it's the harness that amplifies his already impressive strength. Even if that nerfs the over all power like throwing entire mountains and shit. MOTU as a universe doesn't really require He-Man to be that strong anyway, him being able to snap a chain in base form, and then punch through solid rock while wearing the harness is sufficient (for me at least).

>>11518894
Picrel.

>thread over 400 replies
>crossover shitlists stop
>NA talk resumes
Sisters, I told you these threads are only decent after bump limit.

>>11518876
I'll tell you one thing- she definitely can't be nudist she-ra with an outfit like that.

>>11518943
What should NA crossover with?
Legion of Superheroes maybe?

Mixing Cryta with Emerald Empress and Slush Head with Mano seems pretty obvious
The rest aren't quite that easy, but maybe I'd go with Flogg as Persuader and Optikk as Validus. Thorok is kinda hard...Hoove maybe?

>>11518960
You damn dirty troll.
There are only 2 correct answers:
Fuerza-T and Earthworm Jim. And instead of Rulers of the Sun we get Rickety Rocket.

>>11518858
Optikk and Slushhead mog the others so hard it's not even close.

>>11518960
Reminder that Validus was in "The Secret Liquid of Life".

I cannot emphasize enough how making Geldor in both Classics and Origins was pointless if they weren't going to make any of the cool monsters he commanded, or even Prince Dakon.

>>11519209
And they whitewashed him both times.
Why even do your fucking diversity characters if you're going to bleach out the actual diversity?

Remember how MotU gnolls are green humanoids whose gaze drains strength, rather than basic hyena-men?

>>11519212
>Why even do your fucking diversity characters if you're going to bleach out the actual diversity?
It's bizarre. There's one panel in the mini-comic where it happened, but to base the toy on that error twice...?
Also Maran here would be super-easy to make with She-Ra's biceps, the bare forearms they used for Sharella, Teela's legs and the plain torso+butt Cartoon Collection women have. Though a distressed black damsel in a pink minidress might never sell out when even Rio Blast isn't.

>>11519200
Own his BAF from the DC line for this very reason

>>11519224
It makes me not even want Dakon because I skipped Geldor over the coloring and refuse to buy one thst isn't actually black

But since they won't ever release another Geldor since the first one was a flop, I'm just gonna write off that comic and hope thry do the Slave City characters instead.

>>11519245
>I'm just gonna write off that comic and hope thry do the Slave City characters instead.
Kobolds! Which are 6 feet tall and kind of look like purple Xenomorphs with a different face.

>>11518943
>Sisters, I told you
I don't think we have many here...

>>11518532
>>11518664
i went to my local ross and the only thing they had were TOGS foot soldiers.

>>11519283
It's wasteful of tooling for Mattel to let the TMNT license lapse without releasing the Foot Soldier without King Hiss parts in multiple colors.

>>11518145
"Space alien who's a lizard" had already been Saurod.
Maybe Saurod came to Eternia from the same home planet?

>>11519433
I think they are two different reptilian races. Saurod could be a Snake Men offspring. But you could make it so that Saurods race is the same Reptilian race but a different tribe that landed on Eternia.
When you want to be very creative, you could make a story line where Saurod is a scout that follows the Rockpeople to Eternia.

Just for fun, pretend for a second that any of the other options besides Snake Lair had won (and also ignoring that Fright Zone was eventually released at retail):

What would you have chosen for each of the tiers for each set?
>Early bird (to replace Slither)
>Tier 1 to replace Chimera
>Tier 2 to replace Pythonus

40%

>>11519564
Fright Zone
>Early Bird
A rubber puppet version of the monster.
>Tier 1
Mantisaur
>Tier 2
Dylamug

>>11519618
Yes please!
>>11519620
Yes to her too.
>>11519621
How tall would he be?

>>11518996
Fuerza-T is caca

>>11518996
Based. Seconding Fuerza T

>>11519613
Fuck I want this guy so bad. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who remembers him.
>>11519620
Aww heck yeah

>>11519564
dont see why we didnt get this improved fright zone instead

Image limit. Who can make a new thread?

4ch will let me post on any thread, but to make a new thread has a 300 sec wait timer and will not tell you that the updated header is 400+ characters over the 2000 limit. Welcome back, 4chan!
