So puma motu shoes... And Mattels still trying to push revelations rather than letting it die

but at least it's still providing some humor...

"We teamed up with PUMA to create this Masters of the Universe: Revelation collection. Footwear styles are based on three of the shows' main characters – He-Man, Skeletor, and Battle Cat"

Good to know the people marketing this stuff hasn't watched the show either XD

Still waiting on notification of grizzlor being shipped but just go a notification for my camo khans.

Dunno if its a fair trade or not but would trade a camo khan after they arrive for a secrets of castle grayskull pack if anyone is interested.

Ramen toys is doing some Dolph style heads for masterverse movie heman, they are still a work in progress. Depends on the pricing as their not centurions were a bit too much for me though I almost caved just as kapow sold out.

I was going to say, can't wait to spend $30 per head.

Only ever had a handful of MOTU figures as a kid (still have them actually) but the one character I NEVER had was Skeletor.

Picked up the reissue today as he was down to $13AUD. Finally I have a Skeletor.

That just means you NEED a castle for him to live in now or a mountain

or do what I did, buy the book of the toys so that you never feel the need to buy a MOTU figure.

-wait, that didnt end well for me.

HA! No. Skeletor is about the only character I really have any interest in. Might pick up a Revelations Skeletor some day if I find him cheap.

As a frequent buyer of upgrade kits, I no longer bat an eye at this.

Rumored upcoming listings for next year:

Masters of the Universe Orgins Skeletor and Screech Action Figure 2-Pack

Masters of the Universe Origins Glow In the Dark Skeleton Warrior Action Fig 2-Pack

Masters of the Universe Origins Snake Men Action Figure 4-Pack
__________________________________________________________________________

Safe to say I'll be wanting two minimum packs of the skeleton guys

I get the feeling Skeletor and Screech will be like Teila and I wont really be getting it for Skeletor but there is still a few more variants I'm after and hopefully not just a repaint.

The snake guys for troop building depending on what they are -no doubt the packaging will be awesome (dont think they would make it look like a plane but who knows with Mattel)

Do we really need another Skeletor? Where's our cartoon colors Evil Lynn?

I hope the other two aren't MC exclusives but the 4 pack probably is.

Wasn't she already done? There is two. First there was a green one and a normal one. the green one being the cartoon accurate?

No, there's the regular yellow (it doesn't photograph well) with blue armor original version and the 200X repaint with pale skin and purple armor.

What I want are the Filmation colors which are basically a cross between the two, purple with blue highlights.

She needs a cape, too.

the green one is toy accurate, she wasn't green in the original cartoon. The second one was the 200x version. So we are indeed missing an evil lynn in original cartoon colours.

Anyways, my favourite of those would be that snake men 4 pack but it sounds like an exclusive so screw that

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Thu Dec 22, 2022 9:58 am

So it sounds like all three of those sets are probably retail exclusive sets since they came from a UK retail listing.

I have a theory about the Snakemen set and I really hope I'm right:

Camo Khan, Terroar, Reptiliax, and Lord G'raasp. This would explain why Camo Khan didn't get a made to order release like Grizzlor and Wun-Dar. It would be no different than how Space Sumo just got an exclusive Mattel Creations single release outside of an exclusive 3 pack. It would be an ideal situation, as long as it isn't ridiculously hard to get and the boxed version of Camo Khan would still be a valuable premium figure, maybe not include all of the accessories with the 4 pack version. .

Ah, the more we know.

Meh, I'll just customize my own Evilyn.

The Origins 200x Evil Lynn wasnt really 200x though, no boots, nor anything even remotely close to looking like 200x just a some what lazy repaint. Super7s as seen on TV version is the one (and likely pricey) to pick up for the filmation look.

: Shame their She-ra was reallllly reallly bad and no Adora -yet.

Really liked the looks of classics Terroar and any kind of stupid expensive classics figures done as Origins is a win win so hopefully the snake set as him in it.

Never ordered fr5om enetertainment earth before and a $10 RC GI Joe vamp sounded too good to be true. Tracking number two days ago, refunded today. The order included a motu snake chair attack playset for a present so it's a little annoying but no big loss. I'll probably be able to get one from target dirt chheap at some point.

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Sat Dec 24, 2022 1:34 am

So apparently there's a rumor started by an "insider" that the 4 pack is Snake Armor He-man, two Snakemen guards and an unknown figure. If that's true that's a terrible plan to stick troop builders in a set with two non-troop builders and I probably won't buy it. Hopefully it's someone trolling us.

Sounds like the same crap they pulled with the skysled coming with prince adam

If it's a way to get a Vac metalled or slightly better detailed snake armor heman then maybe. Not something I'd want more than one of though and it will make me wait on picking up the retail wave figure (not that it will be in retail stores anyways at this rate). At least Adam and the sky sled dropped down to a price where it didn't matter how many Adams ended up with

Apparently entertainment earth hit a refund button by accident so mystery solved.

I should have came with a Royal Guard, but there was already a "premium" pack for him. I won't buy it because the Royal Guard is just a shaved Man-At-Arms.

At least I ordered the Teela premium pack that come with the bird so now I can finally have her.

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Mon Dec 26, 2022 2:19 am

The guard pack is actually kinda nice, I have two. There's a masked head and parts options so you can make them look less like MAA.

This was a weird sight to see at my local Walmart. I guess the shelves got emptied for Christmas and this is how they decided to fill them back up. #-o

How could they have had so many in the back? I wonder if these were sitting in those shipping containers that have been taking up space in the front parking lot for the past year. I hear those things are packed with stuff that didn't get unloaded nearly a year ago. Normally the MotU stuff goes from the left to Skelegod, everything to his right is "new".
