TQ: What would you like to see included under a Lords of Power/Mark Taylor/early vintage assortment?

>>11550220 (OP)
Where the thread stamp

Need more fat guys. Santa He-Man when?

>>11550414
They've kind of painted themselves into a corner where the Sketchbook Series can release this helmet and sandals design as "Concept He-Man" OR that Vykron on the 2-pack's box art.

>>11549391
I think it's mainly the fact that she looks like Captain Planet, which appeals to me, and also that She-Ra sits in the same part of my brain as Sailor Moon, so I want the She-Ra supporting group to kinda match the same roles. At least visually and for some reason she equates in my brain to Sailor Jupiter.

>>11549406
There are already those World's Smallest Toys MOTU figures which show that the figures could work, giving them playsets would be awesome.

>>11550421
Id be a-ok with any figure from this art. Especially the bear since you can kinda fudge out some vykron looks in origins with the masterverse figure.
Gotta remember about spikor, ive really enjoyed the ss stuff and the box presentations are really nice.

>>11550414
So why are we getting a lazy Grayskull repaint instead of the Dwell of Souls?

>>11550457
>Mattel when people ask for new tooling

>>11550440
How tall is World's Smallest He-Man?

>>11550414
Sketchbook He-man to come?

>>11550464
Roughly about this size.

Only 6 hours left on this POS. Fingers crossed we don't hit 7k!

>>11550499
I wonder how many don’t know they aren’t getting snek bitch. Would probably cause a mass cancellation.

what is so special about battle armor he-man and skeletor that they get bonus heads and hands?

>>11550505
>Would probably cause a mass cancellation.
It would if they could still cancel. You have to call the 1-800 number during office hours which closed at 6PM EDT. Called today and canceled mine because don't care about Sneks hard enough to pay the $300 in the end. Got a Batcave off FB complete with box to pick up tomorrow for $40.

>>11550499
I'm glad it funded

>>11550220 (OP)
How can i get that neon grayskull?

>>11550515
Amazon exclusive

https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Universe-Grayskull-Jawbridge-Accessories/dp/B0FDH1WBJK

What is Evil-Lyn and Clawful's deal in cartoons?

>>11550220 (OP)
The gray plastic just makes it look like a shitty prototype lol. This is for nerds only, and only if they missed out on the Mysteries pack or want a printed piece of paper to put their toys on

>>11550626
>This is for nerds only
As opposed to other toys being for cool jocks?

>>11550626
I think the colors look really cool.

Isn't looking good for snake priest

>>11550543
>>11550547
Chicks dig on Lobster?

>>11550647
This is definitely an interesting base, and while maybe not as iconic as the original green, it's arguably more striking.
That said someone is gonna stick a wash over this and do some drybrushing and it's gonna look fucking amazing.

>>11550647
>I think the colors look really cool.
Agreed, I just wish it wasn't a straight up lazy repaint.

>>11550457
Didn't they already did that?

>>11550457
>Dwell of Souls?
>>11550826
>Didn't they already did that?
Power-Con exclusive (with Spirit of Grayskull & Space Suit) which Mattel produced for them, so yes.

>Mega Jay brags on stream how Snake Lair unlocked *most* of its goals
>Snorse moved from 10k to 6k included
>8k goal not even close to reached
>Limped for weeks after EB dropped off barely funded
Take the dick out of your mouth, dude. Even Fanboy Hatter said this was embarrassing for Mattel.

>>11550220 (OP)
Does nobody own the CG-Man Grayskull? Never understood the appeal of the old "lunchbox plastic" ones

>>11550626
>only if they missed out on the Mysteries pack

Even missing out on the mysteries pack I don't want this. Why would I want a shittier looking version of the space suit? The first one is vibrant and has a cool missile launcher
This one is drab and has Sy-klone arms randomly swapped in for some reason

>>11550849
>Never understood the appeal of the old "lunchbox plastic" ones

>Opens to make a castle wall to keep out your enemies
>two floors to arrange your figures in while playing
>Has a throne inside that can trigger a trap door
>Parents were more likely to purchase it because it doubles as a storage case to put your toys away when not playing with them
>Looks cool on display even when you do pack everything up into it and takes up less floor space that way

>>11550894
Guarantee they did that because they didn't want autistic screeching from people who did get the mysteries pack.

I'm a little tempted for the suit and the "rug" but I'll pass for the same reason I passed on the first release, I still own my original Castle Greyskull.

>>11550826
>>11550833
The Dwell of Soul was what Taylor called his first sketch of what became Grayskull. You can see it behind Spikor on that artwork.
>>11550511
Good score Anon. Was this because of me hyping it up last thread? I think you'll like it a lot its a great castle.
Also sorry, I didn't get pictures of it this weekend. The family got busy visiting and we played outside a lot and the opportunity for He-Mans didn't come up.

>>11550844
Embarrassingly making money while you cry on 4chan.

It has been brought to my attention that MV Panthor HAS sold out.
I don't know how long ago that happened but it really speaks to how little this general gives a shit about MV that's it's still in the OP copypasta and no one in thread has ever pointed it out

>>11551002
I truly, truly don't give even one ounce of passion into the fuck I don't give about MV.

Cartoon evil-Lyn yay or nay?

>>11551023
Get it at a discount. Lack of cape and yellowish skin makes it off the mark. Not sure what mattel was thinking considering the whole point of CC is to make them look like the filmation series and not the vintage figures. Not sure if we'll ever get a corrected version.

>>11551023
I say nay....but then I say nay to CC as a whole.

Happily, Snorse the Snake Horse has funded successfully, and all backers will be receiving a bonus Snake Lair as well. Let's hear it for the fans who brought us Snorse!

>>11550849
>Does nobody own the CG-Man Grayskull?

Developing a question from last thread, who'd be the weakest to strongest Evil Warriors if fighting them in a video or tabletop game?

Karg? He was a squad leader in the movie, but he doesn't seem to have any special abilities.
Blade: human fighter in partial chainmail with no magic or tech enhancements.
Two Bad: as tough as one strong guy disagreeing with himself?
Jitsu? Not much fiction to go by, and he lost to Fisto in the arena. Clawful on land might be Jitsu's equal.
Twistoid: robot strength/durability, no ranged attacks.
Strongarm: not a robot, but probably has more flexible abilities than Jitsu or Twistoid.
Kobra Khan: multiple ranged attacks and Filmation gave him Sssqueeze's gimmick before he existed, but presumably lacks durability. Might be on the level of his best friend, depending on how sneaky you think each is.
Saurod: has full plate and multiple ranged attacks.
Whiplash: biggest muscle, may e literal demon.
Webstor, Ninjor: intelligent, sneaky glass cannons. Ninjor may be a dragon man.

Situational:
Tri-Klops is a human fighter but his helmet gives him three special abilities. If you accept the 200X/Rev tech expert stuff, he should be able to wreck you in a prepared environment at Snake Mountain.
Clawful should be able to That Damn Crab an enemy around water.
Mer-Man in water with minions.

Spikor? Trap Jaw?
Stinkor: funneling enemies and monsters with area denial stink was pretty powerful in 200X.
Faker, Blast-Attak: both have robot strength/durability and special abilities (sneak attack from disguise if being blue doesn't give him away, bomb damage plus splitting)

Scare Glow?
Beast Man: tough and can control beasts, including flyers and Goat Man.
Evil-Lyn
Skeletor

>>11551071
Who is the girl? I would like to buy her.

>>11551094
Have I got bad news for you!

She was the early bird for the Snake Lair crowdfund. Even if it was still open, you needed to buy it two week ago to get her

>>11551094
You are gonna need a time machine.

>>11551121
>>11551139
why would they do this? They already made the molds, they leave money behind.

I have some ideas
>MotU x Street Sharks
>MotU x Extreme Dinosaurs
>MotU x Mummies Alive
>MotU x Gargoyles
>MotU x real life insects

>>11551159
I think we'd sooner get Power Rangers crossover.
(Skeletor/Rita mash-up when? Give him cone tits)


Though I wonder if Mattel might try crossovering MOTU with their own property to save money.

Refresh my memory...do they have a late year batch of figure reveals in October or November?
Or are the only reveal times SDCC in July and Toy Fair/Mattel Creations Revealed in Feb/Mar?

https://he-mania.com/2025/09/new-masters-of-the-universe-movie-prequel-animated-series-is-coming-in-2026-figures-playsets-books-are-coming-too/

New cartoon in 2026. It will be a movie PREQUEL series.
So does that mean no He-Man or Teela at all since they'll start out as kids in the movie before the earth stuff?
Will this be a young Randor, Marlena and Duncan show?

the batcave fucking rules

>>11551047
>>11551034
thank you, I guess I saved some money.

>>11551204
The cartoon will have toys and books to tie in and mentions deluxe playsets

>>11551267
I hope it will be a success

>>11551282
I think with this sort of thing we should expect a death after wave 1 and be thankful for whatever comes next.
Feels like Mattel really wants motu to be their transformers, so we'll see how much they bump into it next year.

>>11551204
>young Randor, Marlena and Duncan show
That could be awesome if done right. "Done right" means Randor and Marlena fall in love at first sight, then get separated by antagonists and Marlena wears just a bikini and metal ornaments while using her Earth gun skills and learning swordplay to get Randor securely settled on his throne.
(I don't think the "super jumps and strength because Eternia has lower gravity would make sense, but we want as much Joab Carter of Mars flavor as feasible.)

>>11551293
*Joan Carter

>>11551293
>>11551204
Who is the villian before Skeletor?

>>11551302
Flogg

>>11551311
Kek

>>11551302
Keldor usurping the throne, or maybe Count Marzo?
Then Hordak with Skeletor.

>>11551267
Prequel: We travel thousands of years into the past, before the genetic mutation that led to pale skin, yellow hair, and blue eyes, when He-Man's ancestors had names like Afonso, Chibuzo and Sunni.

>>11551159
Motu x Farm Animals

>>11551329
Lmao

>>11551329
I NEED THIS!!

>>11551329
I'd buy that yesterday.

Shadow Weaver, Bow, Panthro, and Tygra are in stock at BBTS.

>>11551315
Count Marzo as a main antagonist sounds so underwhelming and lame

>>11551329
totally forgot about this minatour they had teases for HERO card art.

Basically, Marlena has always been a Sword & Planet protagonist, just no one ever wrote the story beats that come before "marry local royalty".
You need something exciting to happen with purely local elements before the Horde invasion. Maybe you want Keldor to be fighting Randor for the throne by the time Marlena arrives. Maybe Miro is still around and they have to fight the Enchantress. A side quest could imperil them in the Vine Jungle with Gygor and young Beast Man.

Maybe get really cheeky about Barsoom inspiration and have Modulok around acting like the head-shaped Kaldane aliens who swapped red bodies around.

>>11551243
That's amazing. More pics please.

>>11551204
I expect that in movie Adam will be already He-Manning for a while and have many fights with Skeletor and cartoon will show origins/early days.

>>11551394
Except it's already confirmed Adam is sent to Earth as a child and he's living there as a young man before he finds the power sword.
You'd have logically twist yourself in knots to make what you're saying make sense

>>11550898
If I wanted storage, id put them in a box. At least CG-man's has guns, lights, sounds and a slow descending drawbridge

>>11551354
>minatour

>>11551159
>MotU x Street Sharks
>MotU x Extreme Dinosaurs
I want these as bad as I want the Dino Riders and Fuerza T crossovers. I dont understand why Matty is so apprehensive about pushing Street Sharks. It has stronger legs than Max Stee!

>>11551243
Primal Age really deserved better

>>11550499
Im just glad the only He-Man fan in Japan is happy about it

>>11551460
MOTU's legacy in Japan perplexes me. For the one country that never cared about MOTU, how were they able to get that lime of reproductions made?

do you build backdrops and dioramas for your figures?

>>11551488
No, I have my backyard!

>>11551329
Growing up on a farm I will tell you.
- that's not milk.

>>11551493
ditto

>>11551499
mega construx my beloved

>>11551488
I did once, some of you might remember it.
Had to put it all in storage and haven't had the space to break it out again, but I want to make space to make a big permanent display once I'm done with Origins and know exactly how much I have to need to make room for.

>>11551354
The odds of this minotaur getting made seem pretty low to me. I think after Eldor and Great Black Wizard, Preternia figures will stop being "a thing". The fandom will still expect Mattel to make the two giants, but that's whole different price point.

>>11551501
>>11551503
damn that looks amazing
>once I'm done with Origins
this will never happen and you know it.

>>11551503
Nice recreation.

>>11551121
>>11551139
You really couldn't tell you were being trolled I see.

I ordered Necro Conda for 25 bucks, how much did I screw up?

>>11551511
What, no UK comic Elders? No "The Ultimate Battleground!" Elders? And only Eldor from the Council of Wisdom?

Random Axel-ry found on Pinterest.

>>11551243
Oh yeah, looking good. Glad you like it.
Here is what I came home to tonight.

Close up of Pig Head and his harem i guess. My daughter set this up and took the pic.

>>11551676
you forgot something

>>11551674
Hey, your Batcave has a Crystal Castle bed.

>>11551374
the helmet is a nice snug fit but the sword barely clips in

Meanwhile on the other side of the living room...my 4 year set this one up. "They are waiting for He-Man."

Did any of you put a wash or dry brush Castle Grayskull? It looks like you could get a lot out of it with minimal effort.

>>11551676
Oh shit, I did.

>>11551688
We have a semi complete Crystal Castle but I had to put it up because they were rough with the elevator throne.
It lasted 40 years, I'm not going to let these munchkins trash it.

>>11551627
She's hot. Never knew I wanted this in Motu.
>>11551642
It's amazing how a few simple changes could have redeemed Bow.

>>11551701
That evil wizard cloned Teela to get a harem!

I want Bug Eye bad.

>>11551764
We won't have enough sets of Modulok's insect legs until this guy gets produced too.

>>11551752
Is "Teela is the result of Skeletor being a failed groomer" MOTU's most abandoned and forgotten published plot point?

>>11551801
never ever not in a million years.

>>11551801
I want some comic writer to take all these abandoned characters like He-Ra, Skeleteen, and Forklift and write some sort of meta multiverse story about them. There's too many literal who's with good designs.

>>11551806
>multiverse
please don't, fuck this shit.

>>11551801
What is He-Ra supposed to be?
>>11551806
Who is Forklift?

>>11551809
From a scrapped filmation sequel

>>11550849
>Does nobody own the CG-Man Grayskull?
I don't, but I really want to.

>>11551814

>>11551814
None of these look good.

>>11551806

Fuck that gay shit

>>11551267
>combines epic fantasy with modern themes of identity
I hate that current year culture has conditioned me to the point where I mentally winced at the word identity.
>>11551282
Despite my misgivings about some of the casting, Travis Knight has a good track record as does the writer, but regardless of how the film turns out I'm still seeing it in the theatre because I just want to see MOTU do well moving forward. MOTU needs the cultural comeback, this would be a good boost for the toylines, and honestly Mattel needs some more muscle to compete against Hasbro who are starting to take the piss in terms of value for money and quality control on their lines.

>>11551809
>What is He-Ra supposed to be
Rejected name for She-Ra paired with the black bikini outfit the storyboard artists for the first 5 episodes/Secret of the Sword drew her in for lack of approved final designs to draw. You can see a bunch of these in the Filmation episode guide by James Eatock from Dark Horse.
Axel was pulling a Scott and wanting her to be a Sword of Protection user before Adora.

>>11551752
>>11551788
If you drop the whole "my bride" angle this could be reworked into Skeletor trying to harvest a clone of the sorceress in order to raise the clone as his minion and have it grant him the power of Grayskull willingly.

Other rejected names early in She-Ra:
Reaper instead of Hordak
Shimmer instead of Glimmer (they were afraid VA's would accidentally say the boss's surname)
Eve instead of Adora ("They're siblings, not mates.")

>>11551878
Reaper is a good name

>>11551906
"Thanks"

>>11551855
I always thought this would've been a good origin for Evil-lyn
Teela was the Heroic Warrior Goddess, Evil-lyn was the Evil Warrior Goddess, so just say Teela was Sorceress biological child ala Filmation, and Evil-lyn was Skeletor's "evil clone of Sorceress" magical conjuration bullshit

>>11551542
>>11551555
Thanks
>once I'm done with Origins
>this will never happen and you know it.
No, sooner or later it will. I'm not an "all in" collector in the first place and even if they string me along via drip feeding, I'm not gonna kid myself that Origins will last forever, so eventually, yeah, I'll be done.
>Nice recreation
The first pic is a recreation too...Golden Book bros will recognize it

Since She-Ra's presence pretty much confirms Hordak appearing in the new game, will the final boss be him, a dual fight against him and Skeletor, or maybe some sort of fusion of the two so Mattel can sell a figure of it?

>>11552127
>golden book bros will recognize
Damn right.
As for being done with Origins, I'm in the same boat as you. I cherry pick now but I can see that stopping.
How did Classics do it? They made so many characters over the years - did they drag out the vintage characters? Or were they confident enough that they could stay afloat selling Count Marzos and Sir Lazer-Lots?

>>11552141
>How did Classics do it?

I'll answer this with screenshots of a year by year checklist. People can draw their own conclusions and comparisons to how Origins is doing it

2008-2009

2010

2011

2012

2012 part 2

2013

2013 part 2

2014

2014 part 2

2015 (the year Classics finished vintage)

2015 part 2

And 2016 is when Mattel cancelled Classics, it only continued after this due to Super7, this would've been the end oterwise

Q for Snakefags

Rattlor obviosly rattles.

Whats about Rattlehood, Terroar, and TOG Rattlor?

>>11552163
I'm at work and can't really focus on this. Glancing over it all , it looks like it took about 7 years to complete vintage. But Classics also went into a lot of deep cuts and it seems like they kept the main cast available for most of the run.
Was there something else to notice that I missed?
Spoon feed me this one time.

>>11552159
>>11552160
2009 was practically Classics Year 1, making 2015 Year 7, and they remade the last 13 vintage characters that year:
Flying Fists and Laser Power He-Men, Terror Claws and Laser Light Skeletor, Buzz Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Multi-Bot, Ninjor, Sssqueeze, Blast-Attak, Saurod, Twistoid and Rotar.

2026 is the equivalent year for Origins.
It got Ninjor, Buzz Saw Hordak, FF He-Man, TC Skeletor MUCH earlier, Sssqueeze somewhat earlier, and Dragstor might come out in 25.

In both cases, Multi-Bot, Blast-Attak, Saurod, Twistoid/Rotar and Laser leaders take forever. But Origins is also still waiting on Two Bad (Classics 2014), Stonedar (2013), Blade & Gwildor (2014), Tytus (2010!) and Megator (2011). If there was any communication from Mattel that they'd do these 13 before Christmas 26, things would be equivalent and I think we'd all feel much better.

But also by the end of 2015, Classics collectors had gotten this much Great Rebellion and Scorpia, Octavia, Entrapta and Horde Prime from PoP, of which we have little or no hope in Origins.
I'll analyze deep cuts between the two lines later.

>>11552194
classics’ speed benefited so much from being the only motu line… between the split between vintage, masterverse and the cartoon/crossover/2000x stuff it’s just feels like it’s taking so much longer and so much time is spent retreading the same characters

>>11551826
>None of these look good.
I like Air Bag and Fork-Lift. Lou Scheimer was clearly thinking "my new designs should make interesting toys" (there are even vehicles in that 1996 story bible as well as characters). I think it's neat how he ended up a fan after a few years of working on MotU, after starting out as a skeptical businessman (watch the dismissive attitude he talks about having when Mattel first approached Filmation in the Power of Grayskull documentary).
(Pic related: OK, as much as I like Bug Eye, I have to admit he doesn't look like he was designed to be toyetic. But Missile Toe, Ever Mean, Slob Boar and of course Tung Lashor v2 did.)

>>11550487
>>11550464

>>11552210
And i found this.

>>11551814
>>11551826
>>11552206
Thise Filmstion Reboot designs look more like Silverhawks figures.
But i guess they went into a mutants (turtles/power rangers) and superheroes cartoon design.

Lord Choloh.
Scott and/or Axel made this character up to explain where Beast Man's harness came from (the beard of a lord he killed). Not kidding.

Two different designs!

>>11552222
Does anyone like this sort of lore and story telling? I can't relate to it.

Bandwidth of Preternia.
We discussed before whether it's thematically appropriate for this design to coexist with the cyborg dinosaurs et al, but what I want to know now is "Whose torso and arms were those?" Axel only called the head, spear and body armor/pauldrons as new tooling.

>>11552224
I do not like it, Sam-I-am.

... why not call it Hordak?

>>11552227
OK good.
I think maybe those type of stories could work if Beast Man's trophy came after a well written adventure where him taking it is just kind of incidental. Tell a story that has a purpose / entertainment value that stands alone. Right now King Choloh only exists to resue gorilla parts and to explain part of Beast Man's costume no one was asking about.

Are you even a real gym bro if you didn't remove your lungs so you can have convenient storage for your dumbbell?

Some things about the Son of He-Man pitch seem undercooked to me.

Dare is at least 12 years old and someone stole him from his parents 10 years ago, the same time Adam got married. King Adam and his queen have to be childless until they adopt Dare (presumably Scheimer didn't want to clutter the narrative with siblings for the hero). So is Adam infertile? I guess that would work in a kids' cartoon, since it's a recurring plot point in fairy tales.
A bigger problem is that the answer to the "Who are my parents?" mystery box was going to be Adora and Sea Hawk, "an unsolved mystery until the very last episode."
So Adam had lost contact with his only sibling, the heroine of Etheria, for at least 10 years plus the run of this show? The retired Randor and Marlena lost her AGAIN? And what happened to the Horde?

The pitch treats Orko as a main character who still has "a girlfriend, Dree Elle, back on Trolla". Geez Lou, it's been at least 12 years since the last She-Ra episode, let these two get married and reproduce.

Kayla is just a xerox of Teela, fair-haired warrior woman related to Man-At-Arms. You easily could and should make the main good girl something different.

>>11552328
To be fair, maybe there is a reason they didn't proceed with this.
>its shit
I like the name Dare for an adolescent hero but that's about it.

Besides we all know that He-Man would end up Frosta. I ended up with kids from a chick who gave me the same looks she gives him. Eventually you just stop resisting and let her take your seed. And live happily ever after.

>>11552373
>Besides we all know that He-Man would end up Frosta.
That too. I understand why the Rev cartoons had He-Man/Teela, but it's a dumb ship and this pitch seemed to be assuming the right to use She-Ra characters.

>>11552400
My daughter hates the Adam / Teela ship to. Even as a 9 year old she always points out how they don't get along. This comes up a lot in the books, how Teela thinks Adam is a lazy coward. Besides if Teela's destiny is to be the next Sorceress, why would she get married and have kids?

>>11552373
>>11552400
Anyone with balls could make it happen AND avoid any "but muh PoP rights" bullshit with a little creativity
>Filmation had "Snowflake", a princess with ice powers. She just needs a redesign to be a spiritual successor to Frosta
>Even more exploitable is the "Ice Queen" Spikor attacks in one of the Golden Books. We never physically see this Ice Queen, so shes ripe for turning into a legally distinct expy

>>11552415
So her kid can be locked up in the castle next.

Uh oh, looks like Mattel is getting btfo by Funko!

>>11551801
>He-Ra
what a stupid name

And before He-Man met Frosta, the writers were writing romantic chemistry between Adam and Glimmer on a recurring basis.
And there was that episode where Adam was minding his own business on Eternia, then Castaspella brought him to Etheria because she was attracted.

Second from the top, what is that pink land called and where can I find artwork of it?

>>11552601
Did he say in the video he got the art from deviantart? It's just eternia BG from filamation cartoon spliced together and the characters removed.

>>11552590
He-Man + Frosta = He-Ro, the strongest man in the universe plus ice powers
He-Man + Castaspella = He-Ro, the most powerful wizard in the universe (again)
He-Man + Glimmer = ?

>>11552590
>Adam shows up on Etheria
>Glimmer doesn't wear pants that day

Checks out.

No Keldor for Lou Scheimer.
Also telling the writers to give Panthor more attention than he got in the original cartoon.

>>11552588
>what a stupid name

What franchise do you think this is?
>Evil-lyn
>Two-Bad
>Man-E-Faces

Stupid names are MotU's bread and butter

>>11552621
He-Man works because he's a He
She-Ra works because she's a She
your examples are corny but still make sense

Took the Masterverse plunge

Is Evil-lyn supposed to be showing this much forehead? This looks wrong to me.

>>11552578
They already did a POP of Skeletor laying down so this is twice beaten

>>11552639
based, MAsterverse just looks better

>>11552643
No, apparently there is a QC issue where they aren't pushing the headdress down all the way when gluing it, so it sits too high on a lot of figures.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65vfpkvT5ts

"As ... the only villainess, Evil-Lyn is a somewhat... shall we say, overwhelming adversary for hormonally-challenged He-Ro, and the one whom he has the hardest time figuring out."
Changing from a modest leotard to a sling bikini might have something to do with that.

>>11552671
Thanks for also posting the fix. Much obliged

Got my MotU toys number 2 and 3
>She-Ra (cartoon)
>Vypor
damn they look great

>>11552734
Post them fighting?

Got New Eternia Fisto for $5 at Ross. I would've preferred another Evil-Lyn or y'know, He-Man or Skeletor for that price, but I guess I can't complain.
>>11552643
Yeah, besides the glueing thing the other Anon mentioned, those geniuses decided to tape her cape to the packaging, so you'll have to clean the sticky residue off of it.

>>11552703
I haven't gotten a chance to pick up the figure and try the fix myself, but I would definitely advise heating the head up first before trying to rip through the glue.

>>11552746
once I've finished my display (and get a phone that can take pictures)

Update to She-Ra
>skirt is damaged
>hair is damaged
Both have a small spot where it looks frayed
>small dent in her left shoulder
>both upper thighs close to the hip joints are damaged
same with my Teela and Vypor so I think this is the standard, wtf?

Update Vypor
>feels massive
>he looks so fucking cool you can't even begin to imagine
>damaged upper thighs
>knees and ancles are too loose
this one is ridicules since all other joints feel nice and stiff on my other motu figures

Now I have to wonder if it's even possible to get a origins figure without any issues? Anyway I'm glad I bought them on a discount but I will buy more Snake Men.

I found a She-Ra colouring book online, and I couldn't help do this picture because of the expression on Trap Jaw's face. He looks so bewildered by the grapes. Also even though the book is clearly based on the cartoon, this Trap Jaw is using the toy for reference, hence my choice of colours.

>>11552786
And speaking of that expression, and the pose in general, I edited the image to make macro.

>>11552787
And a variation.

>>11552639
I hate the line but this is a great lineup , have fun

They turned her into an Avatar: The Last Airbender character anyways.

>>11552827
SPoP really fucked over most of the girls. I appreciate Catra and Adora and it's hilarious that even today She-Ra is for the girls and fags while He-Man's for the boys.

>>11552844
Funny, I thought Adora was tied with Frosta for worst changes.
Catra was a huge improvement. Filmation made her a vanilla bad guy whose jealousy of Adora was barely detectable.
Entrapta as a little autistic savant with no fashion sense was a clever change from barely existing.
Mermista also became vastly more memorable.

>>11552169
I can't speak for Rattehood or ToG, but Terroar does NOT rattle.

>>11552141
>>11552177
Basically, all you really need to know in comparing the two:
Classics paced themselves with vintage. There was never more than 15 or fewer than 8 or 9 per year so it was consistent until the end.
Origins, by comparison, spammed vintage like a blast of explosive diarrhea all up front, doing like 25 in just the first year, year and a half, and then hitting the breaks hard after year 3 to only like 3 figures per year, making the wait more sluggish than Classics (even though Classics wasn't any further ahead by this time in its life cycle)

Classics also showed more early ambition since they were taking a slower walk with vintage. Like Gygor was in their second year, PoP was included from almost the beginig, Marlena was year 3 and year four had stuff like Procrustus, Photog and Granamyr. Whereas the bulk of Origins focus is on variants of existing characters. Just to use a recent example, were up to 3 Spikors now. (Not saying Classics had no variants, but they didn't seem like the bulk of the line)

>>11552804
These threads are my favourite on this whole site.

>>11550844
You're way too emotionally invested in whether this crowdfund was a success anon. If you didn't want to buy a $300 Snake Lair that's a valid choice, but just deal with the fomo or whatever has you so twisted.

>>11553110

>>11552931
Finally, a She-Man. It's about time

>>11553125
that's exactly the name that popped in my head when i saw it kek

>>11552588
They made joke about the name in SPOP but changed it to Her-Ra

>>11552852
I can appreciate that characters actually look different from each other.

You could take vintage She-Ra remove her crown, swap cape for wings and dye her clothes pink, and casual observer will take her for Angela. Now remove wings and dye her hair black and she's Catra.

New She-Ra toy looks great. And yes, there is nudist variant.

>>11552224
>Does anyone like this sort of lore and story telling

I've seen someone say they need an explanation for why Hordak's skin is sometimes blue and sometimes gray, so there's absolutely a market hyper fixating on minutiae. Probably not very big, but you wouldn't have people still to this day writing unofficial Classics bios to "continue expanding the lore" if there weren't people that wanted it

>>11553271
I recall when Origins did waves e.g. Wave 10 some people said they wished it was explained in minicomic or somewhere why Trap Jaw looks different. And yes, Im aware why its a dumb idea.

>>11552866
Thank you. Yeah I know people live to bash Scott (and there are grounds for criticism) but it does seem like Classics was better managed so people didn't complain about the vintage drip feeding so much.
My initial glance yesterday it was a surprise to Gygor so early in the line. I knew Blast Attak must have come last because he was still available on BBTS in 2020.

Origins started getting a lot of deep cuts in 2022, Year 3: Frog Monger and Kol-Darr on MC, AE He-Man and 7 Rulers of the Sun if I'm remembering release dates straight.
Classics got cooler ones like Gygor and the giants by then, though.

>>11552643
>>11552671
Why not just make the helmet removable? I guess the head is bald underneath? I'd say "so sculpt the Filmation buzz cut", but that would require white paint...

>>11552491
Adam/Snowflake seems like something Queen Marlena would have wanted to arrange as soon as they met.
Unlike Randor, she knows why any dainty noblewoman the royal family would want an alliance with would be a bad fit for their son. But a princess with magic powers to adventure with solves all the problems.

>>11553307
Man RotS were such a mixed bag. Pig Head is great and I'm glad to have him. Duplico took me forever to find but I like him a lot to. As for Sun Man, I got lucky and find a very clean vintage one at a great price.
But the rest of them.....sheesh what a waste of slots. To bad they weren't all MC exclusives that came packaged in one of those old school action figure carry cases.

Btw when is Mattel going to announce the brown repaint of Frog named Missile Toad?

>>11553321
This is why Glimmer / Adam makes more sense. Also from a story perspective their are more tales to spun of Frosta's jealous if Glimmer is her competition.

>>11553304
You know another funny thing about Classics?
Straight repaint characters that people complain that Origins hasn't done yet werent even touched by Mattel. They only came out in the Super7 years (10 years into Classics total life cycle)
The "lost 88" that one guy goes on about?
Mattel only made Strobo
Plasmar, Grasp and Terroar didn't hit until 2017
And Slamurai and the Snake Troopers were 2019. So if you're into them, Origins is STILL doing better than Classics even if you are impatient over Plasmar, at least you got the rest significantly ahead of Classics.
Hell, Slime Pit He-Man didn't come out until 2019. Keep that in mind the next time you say "how has Origins not done him yet?"

>>11551855
>>11552095
This makes a lot of sense.
Skeletor questioning his last two decades of life decisions whenever his Evil Warrior Goddess fails to take over Grayskull could be amusing.

>>11553321
Just give her some blue hair, her outfit and more icy color palette with whites, light blues and hell maybe some purples for a little razzle dazzle and slap a white fur cape on her, and bam you got yourself prime "stand in Frosta for shippers".
Maybe touch up her helmet a little too. I like the viking aesthetic, but it's a little bland

>>11553351
Why though? The appeal of Frosta isn't just that she is associated with ice. She made a memorable impression in the episode she met He-Man.
If this is some right circumventing thing, why would one filmation rando be ok to use but not the real deal?

>>11551814
Does Air-Bag fart?

>>11553361
NTA, but the most recent time writers had to worry about who they could use without getting sued, Filmation rando Ileena was drawn (and cast with Kevin Smith's daughter) before getting cut and Granamyr was red instead of mini-comic green.
But the Trollans aren't from PoP three cartoons in a row have had Orko wanting to go back but refusing to show any other Trollans. So the whole issue remains baffling.

>>11553361
Because the right bullshit only affects PoP shit, we've been over this.
They could use MotU Filmation stuff in their cartoons but could NOT explicitly use anything PoP.
>Rev used Shaping Staff, designed Ileena and used Aquaticans
>But could only use Despara because she's legally distinct entity from.She-Ra that's part of the MotU rights and circumstances could even physically show the baby when they did the flashback tease

So if you want to ship He-Man with Frosta and actually see it in a show, you can either make someone like Snowflake an expy with a Frosta-ish redesign and attitude or you can stick you thumb up your ass and whistle and wish for something that might never happen with Mattel getting the entertainment rights to PoP from Universal

>>11553368
Well Mattel and DreamWorks can't enforce copywrite laws in my unpublished erotic Motu fanfiction so its a moot point.
Thanks for the semi-clarity. Mattel should just buy all the rights back and be done with it. Has anyone checked the Origins PoP packaging for clues?

>>11553196
kek

>>11553373
Not trying to start an argument, but you can come across like a major buzzkill.
I didn't say anywhere that I was expecting to see this ship in any media. I look at all the talk on here as some fellow autists shooting the shit.
And furthermore, I think that at best we can say the rights issues are murky but unclear to us as outsiders. If you are speaking from an insiders perspective, awesome and thanks for the insight.

But in general I think a lot of the talk on here about how Mattel works is just BS. For exampme, we constantly hear about how expensive tooling is and how they can't do stuff right because it costs to much. Yet Mattel has the money to launch 3 Motu lines at once in 2020, much of which required new tooling with little to no reuse.
So we got the armchair toy execs trying to have it both ways. Can Mattel afford to tool up the whole CGI line to go straight to clearance but they can't give naked Stratos his necklace.
A few threads ago someone posted that Mattel is purposefully tanking PoP toys so they can buy the rights back cheaper. No one questioned this, it was met with general acceptance. But when Scott says anything everyone freaks out about how he doesn't know anything.
So there PoP right issues kind of fall into the same box for me. A bunch of people with half the story making assumptions and being selective on who they want to listen to.

>>11553387
>trying to start an argument, but you can come across like a major buzzkill

I had hoped I deleted my post before anyone replied because after I posted I realized how needlessly antagonistic I sounded.
No hard feelings meant. I'm just blunt

>>11553396
It's all good brother, thats why I tried to soften up my response.
I appreciate your Motu knowledge even if we disagree sometimes.

One of the few "real names" made up for Classics I actually like is for Clamp Champ (Raenius).
If he expects everyone to not call him anything but Champ, it's just funnier if he has parents somewhere who embarrass him by using the different name they gave him.

>>11553435
I wonder how Scott landed on Raenius.
These little bit of characterizations are great when they turn up. Especially when its someone who isn't the usual main cast.
Also, does anyone know why the newspaper collection is so expensive now? It must be out of print.

Early deep cuts in Classics: King Grayskull, He-Ro, Goddess, Zodak
Origins has 3, will never have a Zodak who looks cohesive with the rest

2010: Keldor, Wun-Dar, Count Marzo, Optikk, Carnivus, Gygor, Tytus. Also noteworthy: proper Adora!
... I'm already jealous.

2011: Vikor, Faceless One, Marlena, Flipshot, Shadow Beast, Megator

One thing that jumps out at me is that PoP was limited to She-Ras, Adora, her steed, Bow, Catra and Shadow Weaver until 2013, with the odd exception of the Star Sisters. Then they did pretty much anyone you could want in 13/14/15.

>>11553487
Maybe I'm crazy but did Scott say that they were trying to prioritize concept art and unproduced toys, which is why we got early Star Sisters?

Also what did you mean about Zodak not looking cohesive?

>>11553524
>Also what did you mean about Zodak not looking cohesive?
When Mattel revealed 200X Cartoon Collection as the new retail Origins at SDCC, they talked about them being 6 inches tall. The humans also seem to be slimmer than original Origins or Filmation CC.

If He-Man's endgame is getting married and becoming king (we won't talk about the end of Revolution...) and Teela's is to replace her mother as the Sorceress, what would you want for other characters?

>>11553328
Did people even knew those guys existed before 2017 (aside from Strobo since he was in comic)

>>11553593
I assumed they did...everyone knew about all the other unproduced like Gygor, evil robot, the sketchbook fodder...
Are you saying these are recent discoveries?

>>11553565
Orko should ascend but in his way to the higher dimension, he sees the Unnamed One and is struck down.

>>11553620
Nta but I'd guess not many people knew before the internet. As an 80s baby, kids these days have no idea how little information was available.
I personally didn't even know about Gwildor, Blade or Multi-Bot until I was an adult.

>>11551189
>I think we'd sooner get Power Rangers crossover.
>(Skeletor/Rita mash-up when? Give him cone tits)
Consider the following...

>>11551189
>>11553650
Lord Zedd as what Prince Zed became after punishment for his good tendencies.

>>11553645
I think we're talking a little more recent history than that. Like Ted Mayer sketchbook figures were known at least as early as 2002, because they were published in Tomart magazine. And the Gygor prototype had to have been known prior to 2010 or else they wouldn't have made a figure.
So my assumption has always been that Plasmar and crew were in the fandoms knowledge for a while prior to their toys, because everything else had been known about for at least decades before Classics started

>>11553620
I think they were revealed on PowerCon 2016.

>>11553650
Yo where are Hordak's legs or is he standing at a tabletop?

Since someone asked about a few threads ago - there is a female cosmic enforcer oficially named Apokrifa.

>>11553697
Isn't there a second one, and she's from Saurod's species?

>>11553697
How do you pronounce that

>>11553705
A-pok-ri-fa

>>11553705
Probably same as Apocrypha.

>>11553700
Yeah, I dont know their names and where to look them up but there was one from Sagitar species and female from Saurod's.

>>11553711
they could also just kill he-man???

>>11553533
Origins figs have alway been 6" tall even if they were marketed as 5.5". take the original origins heman, stand it up straight without the bened kneed and he measures 6".

>>11553721
>they could also just kill he-man???
In theory, yes, but none of those Cosmic Enforcers looks like Kevin Smith.

Zodac: "For balance to exist, I must fight for evil. Good has He-Man and Battle Armor He-Man, plus I've heard suspicious things about that Prince Adam."

>>11553689
>Yo where are Hordak's legs or is he standing at a tabletop?
His legs are bent in a seat behind the table. He's just that much taller than Zed.

>>11553756
I was never really sold on that gimmick for Zodac. Can you imagine writing cartoon and just making that guy swap sides to whoever is losing? Feels like a cheap deus ex machina to prolong conflict more than anything compelling.

>>11553565
Since Stratos is already married early in the lore, he ends up with a kid or two, one older than He-Man's.
No one notices him aging, since he already has a gray beard and body hair in his prime.

Crazy that we only got one He-Man this year (two counting CC Faker) but thanks to crossovers, we got 4 Skeletors.

Not counting vintage MotU remakes, characters from Classics who haven't been remade:
21 regular-size Rebellion members

Probably these ones, unless I run out of money and/or space. I don't think they'll get to all of these. It'd be nice to get at least a few.

I watched a review about this guy and the dude said that this is a bigger body than normal and he heard that it's for the 200X He-man. But we already have a 200x He-man and skeletor, will they make a new version of them them soon? Do any of you can confirm this?

>>11553967

Adora, Glimmer, Razz, Angella, Castaspella, Perfuma, Mermista, Peekablue, Flutterina, Sweet Bee, Netossa, Huntara.

Depends on how future 200X sculpts look with my existing collection
And some interest in He-Ro II, but not that exact Scott-ified design.

>>11554058
Probably means the ones revealed at SDCC. That line was confirmed to be at a bigger scale than (But still compatible with) regular Origins. Beast Man and Ram man almost look like they might be using Mumm-Ra body parts.

>>11554112
Skell-Ra is 7.5" inches. If 200X Beast Man is that tall and He-Man is 6"... well that just tempts me to pick up a New Eternia Beast Man to play with my Origins collection and skip the official one.

>>11554128
>>11554112
>>11554058
Skellra is his own buck. So far no other figures are using these parts afaik.

The 200X figures are using the same body buck as on battle cat-man and Lion-O.

Origins figures are 5.5 inches if you hunch them down into a vintage pose, otherwise they're 6 inches tall when not stretching. So we can presume these new figures will roughly be the same size.

Retards.

>>11554134
>Origins figures are 5.5 inches if you hunch them down into a vintage pose, otherwise they're 6 inches tall when not stretching.
He didn't say that in the Pixel Dan video. He said "IF" you could stretch an Origin figure's legs completely straight, and straighten their torso they would be closer to a 6" figure. But there's no possible way to do that. So the Origins figures are slightly smaller than these and the cartoon collection figures, but not by much. Also look at Beast Man closer, it's completely and obviously the Mumm-Ra torso and lower legs.

>>11553967
And this point I'll be happy to just get the GOAT, even if they don't make a single other thing on this list. Most of the rest is want just seem like more and more of a pipe dream as time goes on.
(Everything listed from Filmation or 200x is automatically disqualified because I'm sticking with things that'll fit my existing collection. Not gonna re buy the main cast in a different aesthetic style every two years just to have a crew I can display Batros or Callix with)

>>11554134
>>11554145
This is why it's important to make the distinguish between 6" and 6" scale. Origins my only be able to stand at 5.5, but they scale at 6" though it doesn't help that every 6" line that exists now has scale creep. So even the Marvel Legends are supposed to be 6" scale, most figures are closer to 6.5".

Why does everyone call the 2002 He-Man cartoon He-Man 200X?

>>11554169
Apparently it was because people at first kept calling it He-Man 2002/2003, on forums, and eventually someone came up with 200X as a shorthand, which also works because while the show only ran during '02 and '03, there were other things like comics and some figures that came out around slightly before and after. So the X allows for it to just be more all-encompassing.
That's the explanation I've heard at least.

>>11554169
Back in the days of . org, I remember a guy on their forum had his signature set as "Guy who coined the term 200x"

If he was to be believed, then it's all a .org circle jerk that spilled into the wider fandom and has just become accepted as the name that's outlived the boards it came from
Same reason you'll often see the mini statues called "stactions". That one I know for a fact came from .org

OK sisters. I think I solved it.
Compare Frosta's cardback to Battle Cat Man's.
Both of them have the text about how everything is owned by Mattel, unless otherwise noted.
On BCM there is the Warner Brothers logo and how they own Thundercats. So there we have an example of what happens when Mattel is making a Motu toy of something that isn't owned by them.

OK case closed. So from now on when I shitpost about He-man and Frosta, no one needs to spoil the sexy mood.

>dont mind if you want to suggest weird shit like dressing up another ice princess as Frosta so there are two

>>11554176
>If he was to be believed, then it's all a .org circle jerk that spilled into the wider fandom and has just become accepted as the name that's outlived the boards it came from
I miss the circle jerking actual writers did there, which hasn't outlived the boards.

One of the 2002-3 writers told them that the artifact King Hiss used to briefly make Snake Teela and Snekaneck was going to be reused to make Duncan a Snake Man "permanently", because Mattel wanted to make vehicles for the Snake Men but they knew nothing about technology. And the good guys needing to replace him was his idea of how to use Clamp Champ. So many orgers complained that he walked it back to "he'd only be a Snake Man for about six episodes."

Meanwhile Jack Olesker, who wrote much of The New Adventures, was claiming that with the Primus/Mutants conflict resolved at the end of Season 1, he was going to bring He-Man home only to find that Duncan had abolished the monarchy and was acting as a dictator with a chest full of medals and He-Man would find his mom, Teela and She-Ra fighting this, before Skeletor and Crita found their way to Eternia to cause trouble.

>>11554206
How do I become one of these actual writers? I got a great pitch for a comic.

do (you) have any Rattle-Hood headcanons? I like to imagine he's a disgraced snakeman who joins the heroic warriors and He-Man rubs off on him. Basically just Dinobot from Beast Wars.

>>11554249
naturally he'd only join the heroic warriors after being mortally wounded and having his life saved by He-Man

This little roster right here would be a killer wave for Orgins.

He's a great figure. Worth getting if you can and dont mind the articulation.

So I've just started watching the 2021 series and I'm really enjoying it. Are the audiobooks any good? It's a multi-hour commute to visit my folks during the holidays, so I'm looking for long-form He-Man related stuff that ISN'T a podcast.

>>11554319
Also to keep this whole thing relatively toy-focused, I hope we get a figure or regular Krass at some point, I don't really dig her Ram Ma'am (I do love the pun though) outfit, the big crystal helmet just doesn't work for me, but her regular form is super cute. In fact I think of all heroes power forms are kinda hit and miss. For me it goes
He-Man
Battle Cat Man-At-Arms
Sorceress
Ram Ma'am

>>11554319
Neat, I didn't even know this was a thing, cool cover art.

>>11554319
They made sure to slot each of the books into the show's timeline, so they're worth it. I'd say look for a watch guide and try it.

>>11554324
>cool cover art.
Yeah, the art is awesome.

>>11554328
Need to find out who the art is, because it looks familiar.

>>11554319

>>11554330
Are they even online beside buying them through Audible or something?

can't believe i got my hands on a vintagey lost wave of 88 terroar

and frightzone and shadowweaver are coming out?
finally some good news in our timeline

>>11554335
I don't know, I've tried search through places like Archive.org and other flag-flying means, but I can't find shit. I am willing to pay, provided they aren't shit.

>>11554323
Also I'm glad they didn't go with this design. Not that it's a bad design, but it feels too much like just a straight gender-swap of Ram Man. The design they ended up going with, aside from being super cute like I mentioned, also feels kinda like it could be the daughter of the original. I also really enjoy the balance of magic and sci-fi in the series. Grayskull itself which I think in the 2021 series is supposed to be a spaceship, but is powered by magic.

>>11554338
/r/eddit used to be useful for finding paid podcasts but we know the MOTU directory doesn't want to talk black flag treasure. Haven't seen them anywhere personally although Archive does have the original MOTU soundtrack

>>11554348
>/r/eddit
4chan joke hatred of reddit notwithstanding, I don't use reddit because I literally cannot make sense of how the site formats itself. I'm gonna make a thread over on /wsr/ if I find success I'll let folks here know.

If we'll get that DC crossover what idea you'd like to see? What designs for Masters, what for DC Heroes?

>>11554450
You think a Superman/He-Man mash up would be too on-the-nose, given that the whole Prince Adam/He-Man secret identity thing is kind of a Superman rip-off?

>>11554337
They dont sell motu in europe?

No one is saying Mattel doesn't own She-Ra.
Mattel just cannot use She-Ra characters in television shows or cartoons.
They actually own EVERYTHING, even characters like Shadow Weaver and Fang Man have that same spiel on the back, and they can put anyone in as many toylines as they like

BUT if it's included under the PoP franchise, they can't put it in a show. That's it.

>>11554471
Does it explains why Trollans don't show up?

>>11554475
The writers probably just didn't give a shit about Trollans

>>11554461
not modern ones where i live so i have to import them

>>11554450
You know how we got multiple renditions kf the turtles in ToG? I want that for the capeshitters. Give me a standard release modelled after their silver/bronze age Super Friends looks (maybe with some packed in armor like the Thundercats). Then, you can go all in on the Primal Age/Sword and Sorcery designs in a later wave (pic related). The Masters can all get various power ups from the DCU. Think Mother Box Triklops, Yellow Lantern Skeletor, Green Lantern MAA, etc.

>>11554458
NTA but I'm cool with it. It's surprising we havent seen the MOTU crossovers go the whole fusion dance route more often.

>>11554500
You bringing this up makes me want a Savage Vandal Savage, where he's in the fur loincloth under soft goods clothes.

I mostly just want 5.5" DC characters, because there are a whole bunch beyond the A-list who have either met Eternians or would fit thematically. I wouldn't want variants to fill up slots that could go to, say, Zatanna.

Speaking of ideas on the nose, how about combining 2 most known black dudes in both franchises and making Clamp-Borg?

>>11554528
Would you want/be fine with them getting Eternian get-ups?

>>11554534
isnt it odd how many black tech guys DC has? Steel, Cyborg, Hardware, Mr Terrific. what's with that?

>>11554542
I swear, strong guys, tech guys and electric guys make up like 60-70% of black heroes.

>>11554534
>Speaking of ideas on the nose, how about combining 2 most known black dudes in both franchises and making Clamp-Borg?
Eh, sure.

>Would you want/be fine with them getting Eternian get-ups?
Depends on how it was executed. If "Eternian Starfire" meant much skimpier than what Injustice-verse Starfire wore when canonically meeting the Heroic Warriors, sure.
But I wouldn't want Martian Manhunter in the fur boots and loincloth when his iconic look is already something Conan would wear.

>>11554542
Thats like how many selfmade millionaires are superheroes. Tropes and cliches. Even if it is just a counter trope. Just another form of streetcredibility in using what you find.

>>11554553
Because they are good runners (Jesse Owens) and prominent boxers (Muhammed Ali). And they have a mythical character like John Henry.

Notice how easy parts sharing would be between the vintage Origins parts bank and DC superheroes.
Someone like Hal Jordan could use the wrestler buck with bare shins (like Tung Lashor has). J'Onn and Red Tornado just need the "pirate" boots (not sure these have been made yet, but Eldor and Blade need them) and in Red's case the gauntlet forearms (Tung again). There are finny shins and a scaly torso for Aquaman: he'd just need head, new forearms that combine scales and gauntlets and loins with his unique belt.

>Cometroid in the back

The big bad guys.

>>11554585
Krang at perfect dick sucking height.

I wonder how much parts sharing Mattel will manage in their upcoming 2002 Cartoon Collection.

>>11554145 pointed out Beast Man reusing the Mumm-Ra torso and lower legs.
It looks like the big guys Clawful and Whiplash could share a torso, with Clawful having an add-on shoulder piece. >>11550547

>>11554542
That’s not even that many compared to how many superheroes there are.

Renet should be used more in the ToG crossover

>>11554747
I would have liked ToG to last longer.
Baxter is an A-list villain with an obvious Masters mashup: Modulok. Human torso, hips with a rear ball joint, that tail of Modulok's with leg plugs, and both human and fly heads/arms/legs.
It's not like they had to cancel it when they did or go to deep cuts few buyers recognize.

Nice to see some pics of toys. Shameful that CGI He-Man audio books got more acknowledgement than actual toys.
