New masterverse stuff looks good too. Manefaces, shadow weaver starship pilot he-man? :p not so keen on the sorceress but it kinda looks like Jaime Murray so I'll likely buy it anyways unless it's revelations related.

If that Eternia playset turns out be an actual item, not just a display it will be probably.at least $300, but I am sure fans would support it. I really do hope it's real despite zero chance of getting it.

No movie motu yet but it is nice that the 40th anniversary origins four pack is heman, 200x, new adventures and netflix. If they are going to do more of the Netflix as origins I think I'll be able to pass on its own toy line other than the Orco and battlecat I already have.

..Come on Mattel! Give NA some love in Masterverse. There are only three or four needed now to complete the Space Mutants!

Target exclusive but hopefully he is available over here like most of them were.

I have the Matrix!...oh wait..which character am I voicing again...

I might have spoke too soon about skipping on netflix series figures.

Merman looks great, mossman looks cuddly? and Hordak looks very Netflix She-ra

It's a shame Hordak doesn't have big arms, he might make an interesting take on Hord Prime in Origins.

Really exciting stuff shown this year at all levels.

What I like about that Hordak is how he can work as a Princesses of Power version

MotU figure panel and reveal rundown.

MotUO brown Grizzlor is a Mattel Creations exclusive. :shock:

I get that they're moving on to Snake Men, but come on, they can't just make a key Horde member an exclusive like that TWICE! :BANG_HEAD:

At least everything else is super cool.

Eternia is a crowdfund launching in the Fall, no price give yet. They're apparently doing MoTuesdays with a new reveal every Tuesday through October starting next week.

Yay that masterverse shadow weaver looks better than those other sleeveless images. That's bad news on grizzlor but if it's like flat top sun an it might get a retail release in some way further cdown the line. That 40th set is amazingly well done. Mattels effort on packaging is top notch.

I'm not so sure. The usual pattern is one exclusive and one retail release, but two exclusives to start with is concerning. I think the issue is the fur, it's too much for the basic price point. Wouldn't surprise me if they did a Deluxe version with some added accessories and hands.

Maybe a regular release filmation version could be done though I think I'd prefer a furry version but also depends if and how they do a movie Beastman. I think I'd be happier with a filmation grizzlor then.

Snake skeletor (brown snake chest armor) was in the origins eternia pile up too so maybe that will be a deluxe and share some tooling with squeeze for snake arms.

Revelations roboto is just a bit bland, his dual skeletor swords are the most interesting thing about him. I'll pass on sorceress now knowing it's revelations version.

Just occurred to me that there's an Origins Revelations King Grayskull on top of Eternia's central tower, but he wasn't mentioned at all during the con that I'm aware of. I'm guessing he'll be the figure included with the set them.

Hope not, they didn't mention snake armor skeletor either. Worst comes to it I could just sell it of or use it for custom fodder. Wouldn't mind the Queen and a less burger king variant of king randor with the set though. Or if they want to go 100% crazy, baby Adam and baby Adora along with baby napping hordak and portal.

Masterverse oversized twobad sneak peek out from Mattel

looks better withh the chest armor on. Somethings not quite right with the shield shape? but looks good anyways. Where's the origins version I'm wanting 3+ of?

Coldars been shipped to me so hopefully should have him soon just need a magic mirror now.

I like the head sculpts. But yeah, I would like to see them with the armour on. Not off to the side, like a secondary accessory.

Yeagh, I'm just glad he has armor unlike Revelations Merman and Beastman and even Teila for her snake armor.

*Can see them re-using this for a modulok but hoopefully they go more grotesque with him. The good thing is masterverse is slowly reducing my desire for mythic legion motu tribute figures though I'll still be picking up a fair few of them.

News Credits: 6 · by **AllNewSuperRobot** » Tue Aug 02, 2022 11:59 am

Now that is much improved! Including sheaths and holsters for the weapons is also a huge plus. I actually think there is something about it that makes it look better than the Classics version. Although I've always preferred the purple head sculpt from the 200X figure.

Masterverse Beastman up on amazon uk £31

but now I have the Gnarkill song stuck in my head (on youtube and not safe for work or anything really)

Man, Two-Bad looks really good! He was always my favorite of Skeletor's minions. Definitely getting him.

Trap Jaw or Two-Bad would by my favourites of the Classic rogues gallery (Yes, I did initially write out Claw Jaw, again). In spite of how expensive they are, if Mondo released either of those, I would consider it.

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Wed Aug 03, 2022 11:49 am

Mondo is doing a trap jaw but it looks stylised and doesn't look that good to me (which is very unusual for their figures).

News Credits: 6 · by **AllNewSuperRobot** » Wed Aug 03, 2022 11:54 am

Just had a quick look and I'd agree. Considering they actually managed to make Merman look good. Trap Jaw just.. doesn't?

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sat Aug 06, 2022 7:00 am

Whilst still waiting for origins stuff to be purchasable I picked this up at asda. I never saw the battlecat in stores but I guess I'll be paying ebay prices for it at some point.
