Got my Masterverse Horde Trooper. He's pretty big and chunky in hand, I like him a lot. Oddly the box was assembled wrong, the outer flap was tucked inside the box instead of slotted into the outside of the box.

Got my horde troopers. as much as I like light piping I'm glad this figure doesnt have it. Simple job to remove the head and pop in a LED at some point.

Booked time off to try to get Geldor on the 12th

Geldor ordered, I was tempted to add the monster high squid games doll but nah. Sales coming up and I actually bought some transformers for a change this week.

Grabbed two Geldor since the shipping is the same if I get 1 or 2 so it helps split the cost.

So apparently I'm just not meant to own an Origins King Hiss. So my order on Amazon was fulfilled and shipped... and just never showed up. Tracking kept saying delayed. Now I get an email from Amazon saying my package was returned damaged and I'll be getting a refund. Considering all the crushed and broken things I've gotten from Amazon over the years just how bad could it have been that the carrier couldn't even be bothered to let me decide if it was too damaged to keep?

This is the second time I've ordered one of these and failed to receive it, on top of the one I saw at Target and passed on because I had an open order with Entertainment Earth.

Man, I'm really having bad luck this week between this and GameStop cancelling my pre-paid SS86 Optimus Prime for bogus reasons.

I’m liking the new Randor, but I’m definitely cherry-picking at this point. He’ll probably be my only snag from that wave.

Modulok should arrive next week ;)^

So instead of using a backup source of payment Walmart cancelled my Origin Necro-Conda and Horde Trooper Prime my primary form of payment was expired. They were originally $25 each, now Walmart wants $36 (sold and shipped by Walmart)! At least they're still available on BBTS $28...

Origins rio blast will cost me more than I paid for the classics but no complaints that we are getting him

picked up the second sun men pack so I just need one figure to complete them (excluding retail release pig head) and a roton

What a shock! Went into Walmart this morning and picked up Masterverse New Eternia Flying Fists He-Man, Fisto and Evil-Lyn. Can't remember the last time they got MOTU at the same time as online stores. Grabbed those and quickly canceled my orders at BBTS, saved around $6. He-Man and Fisto were already in my POL but Evil-Lyn seems to be backordered. Turns out you can cancel things in your POL, they just give you store credit, which is fine because I've got a couple things that are "arriving soon" according to the emails I get.

I’m waiting for Lyn, She-ra and Mantenna and a Horde Troopper Prime. I got the processing emails a while ago, but the holidays appear to be increasing the processing time by quite a bit haha

Mattel Creations looks to be difficult with shipping issues again -change your adress, Item does not ship to your location. This is despite the check out convertinbg to UK £

Hopefully they get it sorted out for Rio Blast even if I technically wont have a n address for it to be delivered to after being served a no fault eviction notice.
On top of that I slightly cracked my snake mountain trying to repack it away, safe to say Eternia will be travelling fully assembled to whatever new place I hopefully find.

Oof, that sucks. Hopefully Rio Blast being delayed works to your benefit.

Since it doesn't seem like Mattel is doing any more She-Ra Origins any more I decided to get the Cartoon version along with Catra from BBTS. No idea, but they'll have to do.

Rio Blast finally got a product page! He's sticking to the $20 price point! I can't believe he's only being sold as a standard figure considering all unique parts they'll never be able to use again. He was my favorite from the original line and I can't wait to get him next week!

I'm going to risk ordering him late to get the Pink ring o.o with Brother love and the next retro WWF 4 pack. One lot of shipping instead of two but chancing rio selling out.

the might come up with some weird and wacky repaint for him, a cowboy snakeman might be cool

It occurred to me that they might reuse some parts for a Marshal Bravestarr crossover figure later. There's a few parts they could reuse, even do up the backpack in blue.

Dang, and genius way of increasing sales of getting people to buy Skell-ra twice, Boobs beware
*also it may just be my eyes but his head looks more in the style of new adventures

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Thu Jan 23, 2025 10:32 am

Oh wow! I wasn't really sold on the Ninja Turtles crossover, but these are really cool! I love that they come with the parts to make them straight up their normal selves without being MOTU-afied. These I'll get.

Mattel being Mattel, charging deluxe price for rio blast now but they then realised they cant charge £5 more for the bundle of ring/figures over buying them seperately. Ordered Rioblast, wether or not I will ever get him is another thing.

So apparently the Freight Zone was shown at Nuremburg Toy Show. No pictures allowed and no real info but apparently we'll get more info in March. I'm just glad it isn't being tied to a kickstarter. Now where's the Slime Pit already??

Masterverse Panthor is going on Mattel Creations Feb 11!

I'm surprised Rio Blast hasn't shipped yet. The release says March, but they've never once stuck to those, they've always released within a week later. Also sad to see he hasn't sold out, I wonder if they over produced him to meet fan demand compared to a nobody like Geldor (who's also still available).

I payed scalperbay prices to get the Horde sketchbook 2-pack. A pox on my impatience :lol:

Hopefully it shows up in stores, I haven't had any luck getting it from Target.com.

If the news out of Germany is accurate, this will be the year we get our Origins Fright Zone. Plus Dragstor, Stonedar and Multi-bot. Happy for that, plus most of what I have seen previewed for the cartoon collection.

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Tue Feb 04, 2025 1:12 pm

Oh, hadn't heard about Dragstor being in the upcoming figures. I'm still hoping for a Blast Attack. I feel like they could do the gimmick again if they wanted to.
