It’s good to see that He-Man is the best looking of the first set!Tri-Klops looks better in package. Duncan is pretty solid.
Curious what “Spring” will mean– does it mean we’ll see preorders (and release!) very soon ??
The Oz guy said February, MOTU stuff tends to have an initial batch the month before the official release. Same as Transformers. The fact there’s in package shots and heavy promo means he’s likely correct.

What does “street date” mean? When it’s actually at the physical store / shipping from BBTS?
Cause stuff usually shipped much earlier, when it said Spring they were sometimes available already for Xmas, no?

When they’re supposed to be allowed to ship or put on shelves. Nothing stopping them being available sooner but that’s usually what’s meant by a broken street date.

Hard side-eye for Tesla & Evil-Lyn not being released until the Fall.
Teela. Darn auto-correct!

I won’t be buying them but it will be fun to walk into the toy aisle and see them!
I haven’t read the article yet but Masterverse ends in 2026
Edit

So now I just need to know if the 6 inch Chronicles scale is definitely correct because if so there’s hardly any point in me buying more Masterverse, is there? There’s more incomplete teams than a single pack of Topps trading cards!
