Thread Question:
>Are you excited for NYCC reveals? Will you buy the new Transformers crossover figures?

Possible trailer description for the movie:

>According to a six year veteran on Reddit with a good karma reputation, he and his spouse were on their way to watch the new movie “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle” at Regal Cinemas when they were approached by a person with a tablet asking them to provide feedback on a rough edit of a trailer. That trailer was for Masters of the Universe!

On Being Approached to Watch the Trailer:
>“We were heading into see Demon Slayer.”

>“Came to the movies today and as we were walking in. My wife and I got stopped and asked if we wanted free movie tickets to give feedback on unreleased movie trailer. Turns out it was for Masters of the Universe.”

>“They showed us the trailer on small tablets so we could answer questions as well.”

On the Quality of the Trailer:
>"It was an early cut of the trailer, with serval shots showing green screen still and a bit difficult to see due to the security watermarks, but it was overall good.”

>"It was about 75% WIP. The cut was quite rough, so it was by no means polished. But the characters I saw all looked good."

Describing the Trailer:
>"It opens with Prince Adam talking to a friend on Earth and they are confused because Cringer is there and they discuss the green tiger. From there it goes to Prince Adam going to his home world and learning about his lineage from who I think is the sorceress, but it was kind of hard to see because of the watermarks.

>After that it bounces around a bit and you see Prince Adam talking to a few of people from Eternia. There was a brief glimpse of Skeletor and who I think was Evil-Lyn. The trailer does show Prince Adam raising the sword and yelling “I HAVE THE POWER” and you see the transformation. A few quick scenes of him fighting as He-Man then it ends."

>>11577109
More Thoughts:
>"It was a gamble that could’ve gone either way. The character appearances were brief, but from what I could see they looked solid."

>"Skeletor looked solid, I couldn’t hear any many lines from here. We were in the open part of the theater near the concession stand"

>"It’s an origin story of Prince Adam learning who he is and his lineage on Eternia"

>"It does have a He-Man feel, and the guy playing Prince Adam has that part nailed down"

>"There’s a lot of Eternia in the trailer. Skeletor looked really good he actually looks close to the cartoon. The others were hard to tell due to the watermarks and it being unfinished. My wife liked how Man At Arms looked"

>>11577109
I hope its good, I trust Travis Knight

I'm also afraid. Example, I know we shit on Marvel movies a lot, but I still sense what little good qualities The Marvels and Fantastic Four '25 still have. Then there are the snorefest outliers like Madame Web and Morbius

>>11577401
F4 2025 was a good movie. Marvels was awful.

It all depends on how Skeletor looks and how much comedy and action heavy it is.

>>11577424
>It all depends on how Skeletor looks and how much comedy and action heavy it is.
If Leto is doing method acting while the script is comedy heavy, it'll be a disaster. If they're winking at Four Non Blondes and Filmation Skeletor memes, your Skeletor actor needs to be leaning into that instead of doing his own serious interpretation. Langella could do so because the rest of the Eternians were straight-faced too.

>>11577433
Everything we heard about Skeletor sounds he is more like 200x and counting rumours we will see a 200x like origin story for Skeletor in the film, it might be the primary inspiration. If Knight can direct John Cena and make him good, I trust him with Leto.

>2 whole lines of WWE characters on Origins bodies
>also a character who looks like Donald Trump
>but no Vince McMahon to battle him

>>11577447
Mattel WWE heads can swap with Origins, just make your own like one anon did here. It's not like they're going to release one any time soon.

>>11577109
>>11577112
If this is legit then I doubt we get a trailer attached to Tron Ares, if they are still working on it then I expect it earliest around Thanksgiving with Wicked 2 or with Avatar 3 in December. But I want it now! Of course, this might be fake because I never heard of this type of thing before.

>>11577493
Also, don't they sign NDAs for something like this?

>>11577492
Has mattel even released a new Vince WWE figure with updated likeness and face print?

So, is the motu revival succesful? Kinda felt Mattel only keeps motu alive to have some content until they get the DC license back.

>>11577498
With all the shit that has come out about Vince in the last few years I don’t think they were interested in it and I wouldn’t expect to ever get one.

I predict trailer announcement this weekend, trailer monday (oct 6), then NYCC toy reveals.

>>11577112
Skeletor is my biggest fear, I'm scared on how they will handle his skull face. Mask? CGI? Red eyes? Black holes?

>>11577447
I hate this figure so much

>>11577492
>Mattel WWE heads can swap with Origins, just make your own like one anon did here.
It's so easy, too. BAF Vince head matches the Million Dollar Man body

>>11577498
>>11577503
Vince will likely never get a new figure ever again because of the ongoing allegations and lawsuit. The amount of complains whiny newer fans did when Vince popped up in Hogan's memorial package was crazy. None of those people were around for the Golden Age let alone Attitude era. They already kicked Lawler out for #MeToo accusations and Jim Ross left for AEW never to return so no new JR either.

I just watched the toys that made us motu episode, had no idea motu was made to compete with star wars and did go toe in toe with it for a few years.

172usd for Clawful worth it? That's setting a pretty scary precedent of price. Why are Mondo's shipping options so shit? Who uses DHL, especially to ship internationally, unless they hate their customers.

>>11577502
This is a great question. It seems like the kiddy line failed and the Stratos/jitsu wave killed origins at retail until a relaunch saved it + the TMNT crossover seems to have sold very well.
But Masterverse? I never see that sell at my local stores. It just sits.

>>11577584
Why? It was a cool set.

>>11577584
>>11577811
I didn't care for either figure myself and wasn't going to get it but it went cheap enough clearance at Target that it was worth picking up for swap parts. Now I like him.

>>11577845
Damn that looks cool

>>11577744
Then why isn't masterverse over?

>>11577502
Kind of? It landed with fans but it's struggled to garner a following outside of the existing diehards. That's why so much hinges on the upcoming movie.

>>11578189
At retail it kinda did. They clearance the previous line when it got the packaging change. It's considered a new line on paper for retailers. Same with the ToG or CC lines. They're technically new lines on paper

New reveal

>>11578196
So, do we know what 2026 line is? I guess CC is dead and Thundercats too. I guess Transformers will continue?

So could lineup be:
>200x Origins
>Masterverse (movie heavy)
>movie kids line
>transformers corssover

I think 2026 can be the biggest year for MotU. Like ever.

I’ll say this as a Masters of the Universe fan in general... I am truly grateful for the era we’re in right now. With a new cartoon on the way, animated movie shorts coming, a big-budget live-action film from a great director (Travis Knight), all the amazing toys we’re getting now and even more coming in 2026, plus the new video game (did it release yet?), I am grateful to be a MOTU fan right now.

We are in a golden age. Be happy. Be grateful, because it might not last forever.

Not all great things last... amen.

>>11578279
You can go ahead and unreveal these

>>11578279
Those are cool!

>>11578279
Oh yeah this is what Motu needs to reach a wider audience. Good job Daddy Mattel!

>>11578447
>You can go ahead and unreveal these

>>11578279
I like these

>>11578461
Me too

Will mattel make playsets for 200x origins?

>>11578283
She-Ra fan here. Hopefully things are going to good for our girl too.

>>11578527
Can't be worse than this...r-right?

>>11578527
Is that AI?
I think lewd art loses something when its not drawn by a real flesh and blood pervert.
>>11578529
Well maybe not drawn by THAT type of pervert.

>>11578280
200X Origins
Masterverse / MV Movie
TC Origins / Movie Origins

Target Store exclusives. TF Deluxe Wave 2 (Starscsream, Optimus Prime), Sketch Series

TF is like Stranger Things, reserved for a handful of things. Maybe we see a couple more figures in deluxe packaging & price like the first 4. TC continues in 2026 with Wave 3 repaints. Probably a Wave 4 to come. Not expecting a 4th ST set to get revealed late next year tied to the final season, but it's possible.

>>11578527
>ai slop
Stop and I'm on a failing nofap too, so don't bait me anon

>>11578602
Pls don't post Evil Lyn

>>11578602
>>11578607
Yeah, don't you dare do Evil Lyn from behind!

>>11578607
For me, it's the Sorceress

>>11578529
that show could have been its own new thing. with new characters and a new name. it was not terrible, it was actually kinda neat, for the most part. but what it was NOT... is She-Ra. not really.

at the very least, it has a certain "Legend of Zelda" feel to it, similar to the way those games have the same three characters but it's all different, and... that's okay. the next game will be different, too.

>>11578635
And don't even try to give her big booba! No no!

>>11578636
Pls stop, don't do Catra either, ok?

>>11577090 (OP)
I wonder what TF will they do next... Teela with Arcee armor?

If someone posts lewd Madame Razz I will have to go Harvey Weinstein the potted plants in my office. So DON'T post her OK?

I heard movie figures will be done in origins style too not only masterverse

>>11578723
I've been wanting this. There seems to be a lack of ladies in crossovers. To date turtle armor Teela, Cheetara, and April have been the only ladies. So maybe we'll get one?
If she could drop with a Soundwave armor Trapjaw...

>>11578749
My idea with yours
>Teela with Arcee armor
>Trap Jaw with Soundwave armor
>Triklops with Shockwave armor
>Evil Lyn with Skywarp armor or Blackarachnia armor
>Stratos with Jetfire armor
>Merman with Skybite armor

>>11578757
I'd pay good money for Evil-Lyn in Blackarachnia cosplay, or the latter in Webstore colors.

>>11578749
Cheetara even got a new body which is very nicely defined. They need to use it more

"You need to borrow it for how long?"

>>11578723
Sorceress with Windblade armor
Evil Lyn with Nightbird armor
Teela with Elita-1 armor
She-Ra with Arcee armor

Blokees x MotU when?

>>11578527
>>11578602
>>11578636
Okay now do battleground Teela.

>>11578833
A blokees horde trooper, scubattack, Screeech, and evil robot would be kino

Do you think the package art hints at a new He-Man figure and a Anti-Eternia Battle cat in the New Eternia line?

>>11578833
With the fast pace blokees gets licenses, I expect motu license in late 2026/early 2027 thanks to the movie.

We shall see if the movie will be a success like transformers 2007. It will have lots of competition...

Found Thundercats wave 2 at Walmart. 2 Tygra, 1 Panthro, 1 He-man per case. Skipped He-man because he was missing paint

>>11578674
Glad I never cared about She-Ra, which means the disconnect helps me see something original, but I still can't enjoy the directing of these for some reason. I can't even stomach My Adventures with Superman

>>11578602
>>11578636
Can you gooners feed your ai with a different art style for once?

>>11578529
Show should've been named Toxic Karens.

>>11578979
Tigers are neat.

>>11578787
I've wanted to see Cheetara legs on a togs April. May not be an exact color match but them gams be nice.

>>11579102
Those are some nice tiger titties.

>>11579102
Neat

>>11578904
Woah what the fuck is going in with that castle greyskull?

>>11578757
I would kill to see Castle Greyskull with Unicrons head. It would obviously never happen though. Just like Ravage Panther would never happen

>>11578909
This guy and Keldor are the first MV figures I've actually been excited for in a long time.
>feels bad I missed Ninjor and BA Skeletor.
>mfw no complete Evil Warriors

Imagine a combination of Skeletor+Megatron+Mumm-Ra+Cobra Commander

Discuss.

>>11579573
Skeletron Mumm-Mander

>>11579573
Crazy combo

Would be either greatest villain to ever exist or a total idiot

>>11579573
Crazy Skeletor has been Shredder, Mumm Ra and now Megatron

Cobra Commander is left

>>11579115
My only issue there is ToG April has that weird rounded butt

>>11579786
I wish they'd used that shade of yellow for wave 1 Evil Lyn
It just looks better and would be truer to the original figure in general

>>11579520
That is castle Hellskull. It's the anti-universes' version of castle grayskull.

>>11578904
>>11578909
>>11579843
The concept is interesting but them just being black version is lame

>>11579863
agreed. But at the same time I like how masterverse is adding enough of a flair to be different than black and red he-man

>>11579875
Anti Eternia masterverse art gives me vampire/fallen angels vibes >>11578909

Still buying an MV Anti just to slap his gear and parts on the Origins version

>>11578909
Just noticed that anti-he-man has movie and NA he-man's swords. Not sure if the red sword is a new sword for him or another he-man's sword.

Also that is viking or barbarian he-man with out the horned helmet and shoulder armor

>>11579573
What the fuck would that even be? An undead, cybernetic mummy, possessed by dark spirits, in combat fatigues?

>>11579899
Story wise is that he killed Dolph Lundgren He Man and took his sword

>>11579911
Kino

So I'm almost finished the CGI MOTU series, and honestly I'm mad that the toyline (and the series as whole) didn't take off more because talking in terms of designs this series has some of the best versions of the characters. Some characters are a bit of a downgrade or just a lateral move, but other characters like Webstor, Battle Cat/Cringer, Beast Man are all objectively better than any previous incarnation.
I also think the series does a great job of reinterpreting characters, like Tri-Klops being a parasitic mind controlling robot that uses other people as hosts is a great idea. Expanding Cringer into being from a whole tribe of cats and using that as a way to give He-Man both the Prince Adam AND savage tribe back stories is a stroke of genius. I really hope we get these versions of these characters in the Masterverse line, or future Origins Cartoon Collections.
I think my most potentially controversial take is that this series has the best version of Skeletor from any series, mainly in terms of characterisation, but I think the design is the most interesting too.

>>11580098
I wish we had season 4

>>11580098
I'd argue the designs are way too busy. Otherwise, it's a lovely show that I wish we got more of. We need mosquitara in Masterverse and we need ram ma'am to join the "G1" continuity.

>>11580112
>the unnamed one
Wasn't that the unseen leader of King Hiss?

>>11580112
>one day we will tell that story
What a BIG FAT LIE

>>11580115
Give it time.

>>11580109
We should have had two more seasons. We were robbed.

Someone on the production team is a fan of Robocop 2.

At the end of CGI MotU, when Hordak tells a shocked Evil-Lyn she's his daughter... who would he have mated with to produce her? Majestra? Rule 63 Faceless One? Entrapta for the giant hair?

>>11580177
>inb4 Evil-Lyn is Adam's aunt and gets turned into Despara

>>11580172
don't talk to me or my son ever again

>>11580200
...that would make Hordak his grandfather wouldn't it?

Launch calendar update
Mark the 21st boys. Two dollar signs all but confirms it's Dragstor

>>11578279
Actually pretty cool by vinyl standards

>>11580109
>>11580098
>>11580110
>>11580170
It's a sin we weren't able to lobby for more CGI-Man the way the Star Trek Prodigy guys managed to get Season 2 of their thing. I feel like there must have been a road to success...

>>11580242
>It's a sin we weren't able to lobby for more CGI-Man
Is it too late?

>>11580258
The time to strike was when the people involved were still at least loosely associated, it's been years and the cost and effort required in reassembling the team would likely make any exec balk, especially with Netflix less willing to splurge on projects these days.

It's not IMPOSSIBLE a revival happens somewhere down the line, but it would probably have to be internally motivated, and most likely would take the form of a comic or webnovel type thing.

>>11579786
Agreed, using the Cheetara hips would be needed although unsure if that would make her look off. Really tempted to try but I have no other reason to get a cheetara, thundercats were never my thing.

>>11580263
>especially with Netflix less willing to splurge on projects these days.
Netflix can go to hell, Mattel should fund the series themselves and put it on Prime (if they HAVE to go the streaming route). Amazon are already make the new movie, and they will probably be handling the prequel cartoon. Two more seasons 12 episodes a piece, it would be amazing.

Last thread we talked about GI Joe crossovers. Found these!

>>11579863
>>11579880
From what I understood in the og german audiobook Anti-Eternia is hell basically or at the very least some lovecraftian alternate universe and Anti-He-Man is the sole ruler. Castle Hellskull depiction is on point.

>>11580098
It was 100x better than the Revelations slop but that got to continue because of Kevin Smith's name being attatched, even though I don't think it did any good for either of their brands by the time it finished.

>>11580299
>Anti-Eternia is hell basically or at the very least some lovecraftian alternate universe

>>11580279
>prequel cartoon
It's actually a series of prequel shorts, probably for youtube

But we are still getting a new show

>>11580718
anon I'm an empath and I'm picking up that you haven't read Masters of the Multiverse.
I don't think MOTU has one true canon but that comic's basically the only real depiction we have of it, and it's a shattered glass alternate reality where the bad guys are the heroic warriors possessed by demons. Not necessarily hell since the evil warriors are all working for Randor.

>>11580803
Sorceress
Welcome, He-Man.

He-Man
Sorceress of Castle Grayskull. What's happened? Is Eternia in danger?

Sorceress
That's it, He-Man. Skeletor is close to getting his hands on the most dangerous weapon of all.
He has no idea what the fire he's playing with can do.

He-Man
What kind of weapon is that?

Sorceress
He has gained access to Anti-Eternia, the terrible mirror image of Eternia.

He-Man
To Anti-Eternia? ... What is that? I've never heard of it.

Sorceress
Anti-Eternia is Hell. And the beings that live in this world are so
terrible and powerful that they can bring death and destruction upon us.

He-Man
I see... And where is this Anti-Eternia?

Sorceress
It's located in another universe. The universe of darkness.
But in the same place as Eternia. Skeletor wants to create a tunnel to this parallel world.
Through it, the most hideous beasts that hell has ever produced will come.

He-Man
Monstrous.

Sorceress
Look at these pictures! My magical observation device shows me what Anti-Eternia looks like.

He-Man
Tune in, Sorceress! I'm curious to see who Skeletor will turn to to lead us.

Sorceress
Look! This... is Anti-Eternia.

[Thunder rumbles, roars]

Narrator
The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull gave He-Man a glimpse into Hell.
Horrid monsters of unimaginable power and size surged toward a vast, shimmering
opening. And He-Man understood: This was the opening that led to Eternia.

He-Man
By all the ghosts of Grayskull, this is incredible. But why does he let Beast-Man,
Trap-Jaw, and Beast-Man fight me when he could attack with such beasts.

Sorceress
He hasn't made it yet. The beasts can't reach Eternia yet.

He-Man
So he wanted to buy time.

Sorceress
That's exactly right. Skeletor needs time for his plan. But not much more. Soon he'll be able to
do it. Do you see that black figure there? The one with the red mop of hair?

He-Man
Yes. What kind of man is that? He's fighting a dragon...

>>11580894
Sorceress
It's Anti-He-Man, the most powerful fighter on the opposing planet. No one has defeated him yet.
And I fear he's invincible.

He-Man
And that back there, what is that? A shining white castle? Its face resembles the
gate of an angel...

Enchantress
Anti-Grayskull, He-Man. That is the castle of darkness. And Anti-He-Man is the master
of it. He has the dark magic. This makes him the master of the universe of darkness.

He-Man
And Skeletor, that madman, wants to bring him here to our universe. This
could be the end of us all. I must stop it. It must not happen.

The second I read his post I was thinking "Acktually there was the German audio play that it originates from" but you went one better and transcribed it in English.
Thanks.

Thought I'd post this here as well in case anyone was interested, looks like Fish Toys are dabbling in third party MotU stuff, as this is clearly a She-Ra.

Approved

>>11581408
>>11581411
I agree that looks like a coomer toy company made it.

What if Anti-Eternia He-man was just a He-man super form?

>>11581417
It's Fish Toys who were formerly a part of D20 Studio. They mainly make fantasy shit that is more compatible with Mythic Legions, usually mounts like the wolves and the fucking awesome battle boar that is long sold out. They have made one Journey to the West figure that could be considered a coomer toy, but it's not their usual thing.

>>11581561
It'll be this shit

>>11581577
Wow, Mattel want to kill MotU again?

>>11581580
Might as well. They got DC back, and people seem to care more about the shape of generic 5.5 muscle men then they do about MotU itself (at least that's the impression I've been getting lately), so why not just kill MotU and just make 5.5 DC toys? The majority will be just as happy

>>11581493
>Anyone have the sauce for the cool customs someone posted at the end of the last thread?
A weird question, since it is in the pic.Thats from MasterEnglish Customs.

>>11581582
Oh come on...cheer up big guy. The movie is coming out soon and we are getting a third party big booby She Ra. How can you say no one cares? Also 200x Origins is on its way.
These threads see more action than the Neca ones. If people seem unenthusiastic its probably because we have only got crossover slop for so long now. I bet it will pick up when Daddy Mattel starts making actual Motu toys again. Why dont you post some toys in the meantime.
>I love you anon. Don't be so melancholy.

I don't know how old you are but I'm millennial AF. Every single time they bring back something, or reboot, or make any kind of media based on nostalgia its been total crap. Go into this with zero expectations or hopes to guard yourself against disappointments. This is the only way.

If its better then your lowered expectations anticipated...we'll hey thats awesome. Maybe we'll get a few cool toys out of it.

>Mattel should let me write a pulpy b&w comic magazine aimed at 14+ teenage boys.
This is the only way to save Motu really. Embrace being underground and not try to be everything to everyone.

8 mattel brickshop motu sets coming

>>11581629
>It's just the mega sets repacked.

GUYS

>>11581597
I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like stuff like those new Transformer MotU figures generated more discussion (and I don't mean just here) than stuff like Swift Wind or Dragstor, and people then brainstorming new crossovers. Unless it's a silent majority sorta deal, it looks like people want more Transformers or DC or GI Joe or whatever on Origins bucks than are interested in getting the next MotU figures. Not trying to sound "melancholy", that's just the genuine impression I'm getting from online MotU discussions the last few months.

GUYS GUYS GUYS

No, Im not ready yet. I still have to get the rest of the Filamation CC and Thundercats wave 2.

>>11581629
I'm gonna need sauce, anon, but I'm already pre-cumming

Does the current Vintage Collection MV Faker match the blue of any Origins figure?

I am liking some of the new ash ups and I am putting together a Eternia squad!

>>11581728
kino choices

The Andra comic is up.
Man, they don't make the slightest effort to make Rev women dress like they're Eternian rather than Earth girls, do they?

>>11581425
Ok, the Journey to the West Tian Peng figure looks like a Gatcha figure. So they have this coomer mold gen in them.

Instead of being some rando, Tiffany Smith made Andra the granddaughter of the engineer who trained Duncan in the 2002 cartoon.
There's also a War Whale. That must be the only 200X vehicle fanservice in forever.

>>11581795
Finally! The He-Man head we've all been waiting for!

>>11581795
who was this made for? woke is dead and Andra was the pegwarmer of her wave

>>11581910
It was written by Andra's voice actress...it's not for anyone, it's a vanity project

>>11581905
why is this image AI

>>11581642
I can explain why people are losing excitement using only posts from this thread.
>>11581649
Look at all this coprorate speak. I understand that the vintage Motu wasn't high art and was a product to be sold, but at least when you watch docs like The Toys That Made Us you get the impression the people behind the scenes had a lot of fun with what they were doing. I'm not really convinced the Ruth Henriquez and Greg Coleman are bringing that sense of joy.
>>11581652
I already bought the NE one...what more is left to say? I think Mattel has asked many fans to consoooom to many similar products. It's hard to get hyped for new stuff when its basically the old stuff.
>>11581728
I don't like the crossover stuff (Battlecat Man is a gem though.) But at least this is something to discuss because there is some newness to them.
>>11581795
This bullshit is embrassing. The main man looks like my kid drew it and he's obviously white and useless. This kind of crap activly pushes me away from the brand and do they really think that suddenly some black queen is going to take my place and spend money on motu shit? Lmao. lol even
Like holy fuck did they actually release this, with that art and expect any person to pay money for it?

>>11581778
wood

>>11581911
The actress is a fan who was born in 1982 and took her Mermista to her first grade class photo in 88/89.
It's cringe in a fannish way.

>>11581408
Back again because I just realised that's why they are making a pegacorn, it's a not-Swiftwind to go with her. Their horses are quite large I believe so this should work for Masterverse She-Ras aswell I imagine.

>>11581635
>>11581636
>>11581638
Cool. Im looking forward to these, it stinks new adventures is still being over looked but im really glad we get these 200X designs.
Ive got to hand it to mattel, ive been collecting this line since the bwginning and i have no idea how many figures i even have of this series. But msttel keeps getting my attention even when im not caring at all while the cross overs are their main focus.

>>11581652
I have 4 masterverse Duncans Mattel, you can kiss my ass I'm not buying any more repeat characters

>>11581913
shills like AI images

>>11581778
She's pretty hot, but that zoomer lesbo hairdoo brings her down to a 5-6. terrible character design. The fuck is mattel trying to woo Zoomers anyway? They don't give a shit about 80s-90s IPs.

>>11581910
Artists will always be leftwing as fuck. The ones who aren't are like the Cyberfrog dude with AllCaps and Pat Parnell with Riot Press

It's over before it even began.

Not everything with mismatched vibes is Skynet. Sometimes a man just wants his action figure to look like he’s high on happy gas.

(this response was generated by ChatGPT)

>>11581913
Because reality couldn’t handle He-Man’s rizz levels, so the machine had to step in.

So, you just got NE Teela, so here's another Teela vintage style with a slightly redder browm. Go ahead and preorder it next week at Walmart Con.

>>11581408
Me want bad
Teela next
>>11581642
Thundercats is a 10/10 cross-over, BUT MATTEL seems to be ending it after 3 waves, SO YEAH OKAY MATTEL YEAH THE ONE CROSS-OVER (besides Scooby Doo) I REALLY WANTED, I'M NOT BUTTHURT OR ANYTHING
I am honestly waiting for more vintage and weirdo releases. Dragstor and Swift Wind are exciting, but what's next? Two-Bad when? And what cool guys will we get for Creations? I'm hoping we get more stuff from Creations. Nothing teased or revealed recently. I hope the movie doesn't take away attention from the established toy lines.
20XX stuff is cool, just not my cup of tea.

>>11581905
kek better than the actual Masterverse head-sculpt.

Hey lads, I'm a zoomer (unironically born in 2001), long-time lurker here, and I have a question for you He-Man chads.
Look, I'm always fascinated by MOTU. Truth is, I didn't grow up with it, but I still feel nostalgic for it somehow. I love all the MOTU shows in their own way, though 200X definitely feels like the best to me, followed by the CGI show.
So I was thinking: should I grab some MOTU goodies now, or wait for the 200X cartoon collection line? The figs I'm thinking of buying right now are the ones in the pic related, I found them all at some pretty good prices.

>>11582359
Stealth He-Man is the only iffy one because he has one open toe boot after returning to normal form from Mutated He-Man. Good grab otherwise.

>>11582359
>zoomer
>into motu
Impossible

>>11582359
The Turtles of Grayskull Rattlor is a good pick especially. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those.
I would get what you want as long as you can afford it.
And you reminded me, still need to get Clamp Champ from Turtles of Grayskull. I should probably get that sooner than later.

>>11582359
>should I grab some MOTU goodies now, or wait for the 200X cartoon collection line?
If 200X is your favourite, you'll probably get the most enjoyment out of that line, but that doesn't mean you have to exclude everything else. If another figure grabs your attention then you should grab it.

Why are transformers crossover figures so expensive? The license?

>>11582191
Damn nice

>>11582210
>what cool guys will we get for Creations? I'm hoping we get more stuff from Creations. Nothing teased or revealed recently.

Theres a real chance we don't see anything new for MC until Mattel Creations Revealed which they usually hold in March
We got Dragstor and Sting-Or to plug Oct and Nov
Dec usually doesn't have MotU exclusives that I recall
Eldor (or whatever the third Preternian they promised) could be Jan or Feb (one getting Eldor and one getting nothing MotU)
Then we're up to Revealed anyway and they reveal and release the March figure same day

That said, I would hope that maybe before then they'll reveal ONE figure as a stopgap so we can have a figure in both Jan and Feb. But knowing them it'd end up being some MV figure and a wasted month anyway.

>>11581927
>he's obviously white and useless

He-Man wont save the day in comic about Andra, imagine that.

Once new cartoon comes out with character shorts Im hoping Man-E-Faces's big heroic moment is reaching radio to signal He-Man to come and save his ass.

Wasn't Eldor suppose to be this year? They're taking their sweet time here...

Are people really hating the crossovers?

Quite crazy on how alive this general is compared to when it started. Very happy.

>>11582424
Some people think TF is just weird and stupid (especially for a price)

Im mostly just tired of oversaturation. Crossover seem to slowly becoming main attraction of Origins.

>>11582423
They probably have a skewed definition of "this year" because Club Grayskull didn't begin until March, so maybe "this year" meant the year from March '25 to Feb '26
Eldor might get released closer to renewal time for the folks that bought in early

Blokees x Masters of the Universe when?

>>11582422
Lmao ok Tiff. I'm sure it was just an accident that the star of the series looks like a drooling retard while your angry multatto lesbian saves the day.

>>11582460
Saving the day from old white men

>>11582460
Yes, Im sure it was right there in the script "He-Man shows up and make him look extra stupid'.

Look there is plenty woke nonsense to get angry in the world without conspiracy theories.

>>11581913
Because its easier to tell AI to take pic and glue face on top of it than manually edit it yourself in less than 10 minutes. This is reality we're stuck in now.

>>11582191
Vintage Collection is odd like that.

Most of MV toys try not to look like each other (with obvious exceptions like 2 Revelation Scare Glows) If they're similar chances are that a lot of time passed between then and new version is likely an improvement. But not Vintage Collection.

Overall speaking about vintage: Vintage Collections are lower on detail, paints, accessories, features, innovations, and customisation options.

But they have one and one specifically imporant element to them/ They do exactly what they promise.they faithfully take vintage designs and translate them onto Masterverse body. No more, no less.They really exist specifically for people who want that.

Or IDK, maybe Mattel sabotage NEela's face on purpose to trick you into buying twice. Who knows.

>>11581913
I wanted to call you a retard because that's an edit until I actually looked at it and saw...that he used fucking ai to edit the picture

Jesus Christ, we will be lazy level like in Wall E

When are we getting a movie trailer? I'm super hyped for this film

>>11582489
Either Monday/Tuesday ahead of Tron Ares and NYCC or around Thanksgiving with Wicked for Good.

Could be latest in December at Brazil Comic Con and attached with Avatar Fire and Ash but the Avengers Doomsday trailer is releasing then and it will take lots of thunder.

>>11582476
You lost Tiff.
Doesn't matter if it was in the script or not. This got to print without anyone saying jold on He-Man and Teela look terrible. Look at all the people clowning on it in this thread. Its all anyone notices, which is a shame because it will over shadow your story. Sad!

>>11582506
Dude, you shift argument every post.

>"He-Man is useless"
"He's not protagonist of this story."
>"They made him look stupid in that one panel"
"You really think it was some agenda"
>"You lose because dumb face is all people rmember"

You didnt win the argument. You abandoned your own argument the second it was criticised.

This conversation is over because what's the point if you cant handle dialog. Rage at some dumbass one-shot no one will remember in a week if it makes you happy.

>>11582512
Lmao ok Tiffany.
>one shot no one remembers
At least you are self aware of how this well turn out.

>>11582359
Just cherrypick your favorites from past releases. The mainline had alot of worthwhile options from Leech, to Tung Lashor, to Dragon Blaster Skeletor. ToG's still got plenty to offer too. Plus we have that new Stranger Things pack coming up and all the recent target exclusives are pretty cheap. Just browse online and pick out some favorites.

>>11582489
Soon but not sure HOW soon

>>11581728
top tier roster

>>11582424
Seems like it, but I'm pretty impressed with the latest batch. Somehow the stranger things set looks alot more interesting than the TF's. Scarescream and Skeletron are the best of the four.

>>11582359
Those are all solid choices. Buzz Off on clearance at BBTS is worth grabbing. Rattlor is great but hard to keep balanced with his neck pieces in.
The first version of 200x He-Man is super cheap to. Personally he's my favorite He-Man they've made so far.

>>11582468
Is that actually his face in the comic or has this been edited?

He-Mania.com is apparently crowdfunding a new MotU convention. The crowd fund starts on Oct 15th and the venue is booked for next Memorial Day weekend

>>11582582
We already have Zolocon. Fans need this like we need another Masterverse Beast Man.

>>11582425
NYCC has brought out all the shills.

>>11582359
i'm from 92
wasn't born when vintage was around, didn't watch the 200x cartoon. (and wasn't as big a fan of the toy designs, the chinese aspects turn me off much like most TMNT crossover parts)

for me the appeal is the standalone bizarre toys, i have that exact same nostalgic feeling

I personally don't prioritize knowing an ip or series at all when it comes to toys, i much prefer headcanoning and apreciating the toy as its own thing.
If that is something you can get on board with, just pick up whatever you think is cool.

I think minicomic trap jaw is very cheap now, and it's a goated figure with a really great colourscheme. And thisis coming from someone who loved loved loved og trapjaw.

tl;dr

I'd suggest getting the toys you like for toys sake now if you can find them cheap.
At the absolute worst case scenario, you can use their parts as custom fodder later wich is a ton of fun.

>>11581778
I personally like the hair, reminds me of a wrestling getup or mr. T.
But yeah the human clothes and room are lame. Leaning into the barbarian/medieval fantasy is part of what makes it great.
This could be a panel of just any random marvel comic set in current day.

>>11581905
lmao, he cute.

Anons who are good with Origins parts swapping...does anyone have a good recipe for King Grayskull? I've got Masterverse Savage He-Man for a head to start with. But I want him in Origins scale not 7".

This head just works on anything.

>>11582674
I would use Savage which you have, the 200X Origins He-man from two years ago which you can get for cost, and the cape from ToG Splinter.

>>11581316
I'm somewhat shocked that apparently no one attempted a translation before.
They are right there and some of the episodes are Conan level brutal.
>>11581278
>>11581667
Kek, listening to the audiobook the part in question goes
"Aber warum laesst er Beast Man, Trap Jaw und Tri-Klops gegen mich kaempfen, wenn er mit solchen Bestien angreifen koennte?"

>>11580952
Ikr, what a rabbithole.
German kids listened to some crazy (anti)heroes growing up.

>>11582359
I was a 90s kid. My mom bought me Battle Cat, Panthor, Roboto, Stonedar and Castor Greyskull with no accessories and those were my ONLY MOTU toys growing up. I had no idea who or what Heman even was. And they were the coolest fucking shit I ever had and I loved them. To me Roboto and Sronedar are the protagonists of MOTU lol.

The entire toyline started before the cartoon. All kids had food awhile (I think a year) was a toyline with completely different stories and origins in pack in mini comics. The original creator had ideas for worldbuilding that no one ever even knew or used. Like Castle Greyskull being the head of a dead giant. MOTU was made to facilitate imagination and making it up yourself because barbarians and robots are the coolest shit ever.

>>11582766
So for you Roboto and Stonedar were both the leads? Who were the antagonist figures?

>>11582778
Beast Wars, Spidermen and Batman characters lol. My memory is so vague but basically Greyskull was just my main homebase with the Ghostbusters HQ (from another yard sale but I actually loved the movie and cartoon because TV reruns and Extreme Ghostbusters) and a Batman Forever or Batman and Robin Batcave. All in my parents crawlspace to make it more epic like it really was in a giant cave/wasteland/post apocalypse. Or I just liked enclosed spaces for some reason.

I've stopped collecting MOTU for a year and a half of more do cartoon collection toys look good next to normal origins and can partswap with them? I don't know why but Frosta is making me want to come back even though I never watched shera

>>11582766
Good to hear someone else whose Motu experience was a bit different due to second hand toys. I've reminiscent many times about how I didnt have the basic He-Man, or a complete Man At Arms until Origins.
>>11582795
Frosta makes me want to do a lot of inexplicable things to.

Can the masterverse neweternia or revolutions Roboto's head come off?

OK WOW

That sure is SOMETHING.

>>11582873
mer-man must be protected at all costs

>>11582582
>"Motuniverse"
That's such a mouthful. Why not "Powerverse" or "Master-Con" ?

>>11582681
Knowing about the upcoming Stranger Things Hordak, Im glad I passed on the ToG version.

>>11582712
This is just like Caspar the friendly ghost or Goosebumps.

>>11582873
Looking forward to as many photos of scared Mer-Man as we got of happy Mer-Man (Origins LoP) years ago.

>>11582873
I know the whole point of these is to be strictly vintage, but I do prefer prototype mer-man, would be nice if he came with the parts to make that version, but I get it, plus NE mer-man is basically that.

>>11582489
2 weeks kek

happy Halloween /motu/

>>11582896
>but I get it

See, I don't because of Teela
>Vintage Collection Teela will come with an alternate concept art "helmet" head which the vintage didn't have
>Plus NE Mer Man is different enough from the Mark Taylor head that they could get away with it...certainly more different than other VCs are from their NE versions.

how long have they been giving these guys drop-down ball sockets in the hips? the hips finally have decent range

>>11582873
This Mer-Man seems shocked to have been summoned into existence.

Is this comic good?

>>11582936
Personally, I don't think it is
Like, it's ok if you're just in it for the fanwank of "look we're in the NA universe! Now we're in Filmation!" But I don't think the actual story is any good

>>11582937
>>11582939
This is stupid. Thanksfully it's a con exclusive and will end up at ROSS. If Mattel fucking gatekeeps Disco Skeletor to an exclusive Im done with origins.

>>11582935
>It just never ends

>>11582873
We're just Beast Man away from full first year. What do you expect from Vintage Collection? Doing first 2 years fully? Will it even touch further years? Maybe further years yes, but never characters that arent heavy on parts reuse?

>>11582939
Am I retarded for liking this? This is the kind of toy I wouldn't care about if I broke it or lost anything. Just a fun gimmick guy who I can play with in the backyard.

>>11582956
Knowing mattel, they're going to do every vintage figure in MV form securing over a decade of shelf presence for MOTU. Hopefully it trickles out and not flood the market. Next year we got movie figs, NE figs, CC, and still more vintage Origins, and whatever collab they cook up. Maybe keep the movie figs and NE figs mixed in the same wave like they did with revulutions and 3D animated.

>>11582958
Ice Armor He-Man would have been so much cooler, then have Fire Armor Skeletor as the Target Con exclusive.

>>11582965
>snow armor
>still doesn't wear pants or shirt
>>11582937
>samurai armor
>wears a shirt

Meckaneck

Are $7 at my target.
I didn’t pick any up since I have them already.

>>11582903
Ive loved your custom since the day you first shared it

>>11583023
Thanks bro. I like to keep him in my halloween box of decorations nowadays.
>>11582937
If we are getting stuff like this, I really hope that means battle armor Marlena is on the table.

>>11582939
>>11582937
Finally a perfect use for retarded variants. Exclusives I could never find anyways.

>>11582890
Yeah I was told the Hui Buh reboot is castrated slop. Casper seems a good comparison. I think it's neat making the "monster" the protagonist. Goosebumbs came out about a decade after all these audiobooks.

How is Die drei ???... ? I found these a bit hard to follow. like Scooby-doo without the dog ?

By the power of...

Hey Tiffany, I thought about our little disagreement this morning and there are some things you should hear.

>Rage at...
I wasn't raging. I was mocking.

>This conversation is over
This is what my mother says when shes lost the conversation, which gave me the idea that you might acutally be a woman. And maybe you really are a fan from back in the day, and this comic means a lot to you.
And so I am sorry if I took a smelly dump all over you getting to post your comic here for us. If...IF you really were just having fun with a vanity project, good for you. You are on the same level as Scott as far as "kids getting a wish come true" type gig. I don't think you put instructions to make He-Man look retarded and awful.

But someone did. Unless all those images are some bullshit prank, this comic perfectly encapsulates how corporate wokeness can't help but sabotage itself.
Not raging at you or attacking you. I'm 100% going to take it face value that you wanted to tell a story beccause its a nicer world to live in, that a fan got to grow up and be on a new show and then write a comic about her character. Everything else I am going to say is for
Ruth who needs to pay attention.

You can't fool me.
I am the same age as Tiff, and a university graduate. I took two years of Mass Communications, and then I switched my major to English so I could take more electives - Art history, critical thinking, post colonial literature. And this was in the early 00's so I was there for the laying of the groundwork for the Woke era.

If it wasn't intentional to fuck He-man over, then there is some serious editorial problems.
Even if its not his specific comic, He-Man is the brand. Maybe Andra will surpass him in pop culture relevance someday. But right now, guys who want to see He-Man look awesome are the target group that cares and will spend money.
If this is a real thing that got released and you expect someone to part with thier hard earned dollers for, no one deserves to look like unfinsihed sketeches like HM and Teela do in that panel with Andra.
Compare how Dekker is presented in his panel. Look at how neutred HM looks sitting at the campfire. At some point the editor had to have seen this and still okied it. The whole universe's main character looks like a lobotomzed faggot. You can't sell that to me.

You want to make the men like me spend money. I am not going to do it when the main guy I like doesn't get respected. This is a lesson you should be learning from the cultural shift at large, and more specifically from the netflix Kevin Smith shows. You went the subverted expectations route and how did it go? Was the show a success? Did it sell toys? Expand the audience?

I had to listen to lectures on the importantance of representation. There were so many rules and considerations. I was there as this kind of thought was taking hold. And why men are checking out from this brands and why they fail to gain new audiences is because you didn't build up good characters that meet your identity checklists, you did it by tearing down the original heroes.

Not ragous. Just blogposting

Later losers.

>>11582936
I liked it but it's got alot of flaws. It feels more like a theme park attraction than an actual standalone story.

>>11582937
>>11582939
He looks like an X-changer

>>11582947
I would seethe for weeks if they cucked us out of Discotor. Aside from Leotor it's the only other Skelly variant I've wanted from the start of the line.
>>11582903
I only just noticed Skeletron in the dungeon. In a roundabout way you could argue that's just Skeletor dressed in his halloween costume.

>>11577090 (OP)
I hope somebody bodyswaps He-man Prime with pic related

>>11582947
I bet it will be Mattel Creations. I'm hoping Mondo does one though, that's the only figure of their line I'd pay the price for.

>>11583374
>I'm hoping Mondo does one though, that's the only figure of their line I'd pay the price for.


They already did a 1/6th one if you didnt know. So it's pretty likely.

Peak

You think we'll get New Adventures stuff or has Mattel already tossed it into the incinerator.

>>11583495

I got this box set and sketch book spikor at target yesterday

>>11582903
Groovy

>>11582372
Not impossible, I was born in 1996 and ive been buying MOTU toys since 2011. Unironically robot chicken got me into it as i liked skeletor on the show and bought the MOTUC skeletor and lex luthor two pack from toysrus way back when

Trailer Monday

>>11583699
Are you shitposting or are you for real?

>>11583783
You will see

>>11583520
I went to target yesterday looking for a different figure, itd have been worth the time i spent driving if i found this. Maybe next time, i wont bother ordering it if they are in store.

>>11583495
Well, theyve done na heman in a box set and slush head in masterverse so theres still hope. Maybe after 200X? Idk, i think mattel should test the waters with a vlub greyskull only set, just 4 fan picked figures at a $100 price point. Give it a chance atleast.

What package art you think Axel could be working on now?

>>11583276
>>11583301
I really, really shouldn't respond but since you posted whole fucking essay I'll give you naive benefit of doubt that you wish to actually communicate and not just bother me further. Or you know desperately prove that you're right and you won argument. You seem to take this seriously and perhaps, even believe you're talking to Tifanny.

Im going to lay out very clearly my thought process so there is no misunderstanding where was I going with everything and what my thought process was.

I have no issue with you thinking that issue must be crap and cheapens the brand by existing. I just think throwing argument "He-Man must be useless" is a dumb knee-jerk reaction argument.

Why does it matter so much to me? Most of all because throwing stuff like that cheapens your whole argument. Like I get it, this isn't academic debate club. It's 4chan, we come here so we can freely call people faggots. But if you throw something meaningful (Jews are committing genocide in Gaza!) in the same breath as something not-so meaningful (Jews make frogs gay!) then both arguments are unlikely to be taken seriously. It makes it easier to dismiss all our criticisms as bigoted haters if every post goes something like "Revelation was bad because we're suppose to root for Teela being selfish self-centered bitch who blamed Adam for dying of and also there was negress in the cast".

On lesser note, you'll just make yourself unhappy if you'll look out for boogeymen everywhere. CGI He-Man raceswapped and genderswapped several characters. It was still great. If you preemptively lash out on it because you're trying to hard to find woke poisoning, you'll miss out. It's like throwing out every Batman comic or cartoon the second dude loses a fight while complaining that writer turned Batman into pansy out of hatred for white people.

>>11583907
Also...as MOTU fan, Id like more stories that arent about He-Man. Or about Teela, Man-At-Arms and Orko. I'd love stories where Mekaneck, Roboto or Man-E-Faces can have adventures about them. So I kinda have to be pro "He-Man CAN be sidelined for a bit" mentality.

That's all I cared about but you didnt really replied my argument you shifted focus to goofy He-Man face. Which trust me, wasn't necessarily intentional hateful attack on He-Man...just low quality modern industry artwork. Ive seen my fair share of woke superheroes (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for one) and trust me, they have some hideous art. You might as well argue that Revolution was intentionally made to give Teela hideous design and bitch personality because writer hated her and wanted to make He-Man look better. There is new comic based on Spider-Man TAS and people mostly talk about mostly about Peter looking like rat-faced 50 year old on every panel. Shit happens because industry really isn't what it used to. Which is bad of course, but no really related to "this comic hates He-Man" point.

And then you just responded with "lol, you lost".

At which point I declared argument over because...look, I dont know how old you are but at some point you realise there is really no point putting time, investment and energy into internet argument that clearly arent going anywhere. Learn from me while you can. Its sometimes better to cut things short.

You're free to still assume Im Tiffany (not) or woman (not, not tranny either) or that Im dishonest about anything I wrote here. It goes both ways, I can always assume you're just trolling but Im giving you some benefit of doubt, hope I wont regret it.

>>11583910
Criticism on "He-Man is white and useless" was not on attack on your whole post. I dont feel like arguing against and I even agree with a lot.

Anyway just to make my point, He-Man has panels where he looks cool.,,,

>>11583913
While Andra has panels where she looks stupid.

>>11583914
Look at it, right before that He-Man panel. This was effort put into her big hero moment panel.

>>11583913
The art in this was bizarrely inconsistent.
I'd be disappointed if I got to publish a vanity project and they publisher didn't spring for consistent quality art.

So do Anons prefer classic buff Hordak or slender Nosferatu Hordak?
I think I prefer the slender version. My enjoyment of the CGI series (do we have a generally accepted nickname for that series like we do for 200X?) notwithstanding, I just prefer the him being skinny as a way to help differentiate him from Skeletor. I know the designs are both very different, but them both being buff just makes there silhouettes to similar. To me Skeletor is a fighter, like if he didn't have magic he'll still get into a fist fight with He-Man, but Hordak is a creature of the shadows, something ancient that brings fear and death.

The fear of 'cultural appropriation' probably means we will never get cool mesoamerican guys. Or like Mexican skull guitar guys. Or just sombrero ass mothetfuckers. Probably will never so Pharoah's. Or fucking hell I dont think there even are latinos until Sunman got brought over and the Sunmen are kind of lame. They probably would never do any cultures besides SNAKES FUCKING SNAKES AHHHH I FUCKING HATE SNAKES
>this could all just be for fear of straying too far from a nostalgia driven line BUT FUCK YOU STOP MAKING SNAKES AHHH
>or just creative bankruptcy

I should probably just read fucking barbarian fantasy or something at this point.

>>11584397
Holy shit that was way longer than I thought it would be while I was typing it.

I'll just add are there any other Heman lines with crazy new shit that are any good? What was that line with the dragons and the panther girl? I dont just want to complain I need to start supporting other lines too

>>11584397
>I didn't even know Stratos was a monkey or black people were called monkeys until I was like 25
I know there is this whole thing about "those who forget the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them" but there is also an argument to be made for letting language and stereotypes fade out of consciousness. A prime example from here in Australia, there was a whole hubbub made about the cheese brand "Coon" which one Aboriginal guy made his life's mission to get removed because the name was "racist" which he finally succeeded in doing after the Canadian parent company got freaked out by the BLM shit in 2020, but some things that I don't think were taken into account were 1. the cheese was named after Edward Coon, the guy who developed the method for how the cheese was made, and 2. Most younger people have never heard or used the word "coon" in a racial context, most either think of the cheese, or at a stretch think of Raccoons (which we don't have in Aus). If the guy had just left it alone, there was a real chance the word as a racial slur would have just ceased to exist.
Incidentally the guy is now trying to claim two million in damages because the company didn't change the name sooner, which makes me think that it wasn't really about the name.

>>11583090
What i meant was that the horror stories are not Stephen King level. But horror stories equals the Goosebumps frightening level.
>How is Die drei ???...
It is more like Sherlock Holmes or Carl Barks Scrooge McDucks. The jokes are like Marvel movies or James Bond jokes. Scooby Doo is more slapstick jokes. But you could argue that they have the same adventure approach.
But there are audio series like John Sinclair that are more for teens and older. Kinda like US horror or monster comics.

>>11584510
good to know motu is still in incompetent hands at mattel and they still want to put the bare minimum in.

>>11584513
Yes, they really should assure us that MotU will be synergized with the new paradigm of our ever-shifting cultural zeitgeist

They either mean Goat Man and Pig Boy since they're currently "literal who's" in most people's minds
Or they mean Adams new earth friends Suzie and Hussain

Beautiful. You deserve a job in Mattel's PR department.

>>11583485
Beautiful. I've always wanted to display my collection.

>>11584121

Yes, I can already feel the New-stalgia kick in as I anticipate watching Teela and a black Man-At-Arms bossing around a mixed race (but mostly white) He-Man.

>>11584397
>But they made Stratos black in the cgi cartoon
CGI Stratos was a delight to watch. But I dislike that his figure is just MCU Falcon. It makes me wish they'd used the Andreenids instead of Avion as winged black people.

“Silverman” every single time.


What happed to Rob “everyone has the power” David? I thought this was his wheelhouse.

>>11584739
No.
Rob Davids job is not MotU specific. He's in charge of Mattel Television across the board.
This Silverman guys description makes it sound like he's in charge of franchises, but not necessarily TV specifically

Expectations? Predictions? I have low expectations...

I don't expect movie news until November

I know it's just "toys", but Jesus Christ I'm so fucking tired of American workers who don't give a fuck. This is why 90% of my purchases go through Amazon

>>11584900
why should they give a fuck?

>>11584911
Nta but because they get paid for that? It's their job

>>11584912
no, they get paid to restock the shelves and help people who can't check out themself. If you have a problem about the order of restocks etc you need to be mad at the managers.

>>11584922
Why?

We are so back 200x chads

Post figures you wanna see made

>>11584929
they decide in what order stuff gets stocked and restocked.

>>11584900
Why are you mad at them instead of the app/system? It is clearly the one lying to you, not the workers.
I stopped relying on the 'in stock' status by checking myself. Usually it isn't correct.

You understand that I drove to each of these stores to check in-person, right? That was 2 hours wasted of a day because no one is capable of simple CS efforts to assist a customer in-person.

>>11584451
That makes total sense since most of the plot went over my head to be honest, with the inside jokes and references.
For the time being I'm sticking with the simpler written kids stuff.
I'll def give ??? another go.

>John Sinclair
Oh dude, of course I heard of Sinclair!
Back when libgen was easy access I downloaded a bunch of issues to check them out.
Also Demona King, Larry Brent, Zamorra, because of the guy behind H.G. Francis (Anti-Eternia) who wrote a lot of these.
Some titles are still going with 1000 plus issues. It never ends!
Most are still a bit above my level, especially since all titles are intertwined, with references and crossovers.

>The jokes are like Marvel movies or James Bond jokes
I got the impression that is exactly what Professor Zamorra is about?
Doctor Strange but he fucks.
