For me the tv retro is better than the origins even with out posability. Trapjaw was pretty goofy in the Toon and I don't think origins with its vintage toy look captures that. Retro TV can display with originals or origins so a slight advantage over classics.
Price £18 ish which is a bit more than origins for arguably less, but still better looks wise.
Then 200x, okay so it can only be displayed with 200x figures and lacks the posability of origins or classics. However, I feel the classics is a downgrade to 200x. Price using the way back then at woolworths £8 which more than likely cost me £4 on sale.
Then with classics looking pretty nice, but not at £50 plus nice and would be absolutely great if I had all the other pricey numerous classics to display with. I'd probably even go for the standard over filmation for him, as the filmation colors are good but don't capture the character. So with that being the case, a slightly different take with mythic legions comes into play.
It might be a bit more generic especially next to other mythic legions who share the same armor types, but that kinda makes it feel more like the motu toys. No doubt if I had a dozen of the same type classic bodies I'd feel the same about them.
At the time at least £10 cheaper and was easier to get, displays well with classics too (I think it fits better with dolph he-man, not that I've got him yet). There is only a handful of motu tributes in the mythic legion line so falling behind is not nearly as painful though some of the prices are going to be just as bad if not more for some mythic legions.
I still think the 200x beats mythic legions!
Price £40

If you have classics then I'd say 95% of origins is probably going to be pointless and downgrades for the most part (and problematic with scale) . It might be nice and more cost effective to have classics skeletor and then origins terror claw, battle damage, dragon etc though there is a few gems in origins that stand out, even against classics. Battlecats okay for scale, the others aren't going to be, but I'll take battle damage figures with spinning chest plates over the way classics did it.
Origins for those who want availability and affordability with backwards compatability to some extent, that and just toys at a more toy like price than collectors pieces/price - when the scalping stops anyhoos.
