@sketchyskeletor Aww... It hurts! 🤣 More seriously, are you saying that a few stores are already taking pre-orders for the final wave, including Teela?

In the UK, yeah, Hordak, Teela and Khan are listed as September here. Though I'd imagine they'll be on sale before that if folks already have them in hand.

@sketchyskeletor I wish I could have some rest after the stressful experience of the two names I mentioned earlier, but never mind... I'm even reconsidering buying the Vintage Collection Stratos, even though the NE version is undoubtedly the best rendition on the market to date. However, nostalgia still has a hold on me, at least more intermittently.

I know! I know!  Need to pre-order everything. Only problem with that is I'm disabled, low income from Social Security & I absolutely will not use credit cards. I don't want any debt or extra monthly bills. So I have to schedule everything. I had Ninjor pre-ordered but BBTS sent me a message that they were gonna be in stock like 2 months too early & I was broke at the time. So I went with Amazon. I didn't even bother pre-ordering Blade because I don't really care about him, I just want the body & armor to make a Fisto Custom.  So if I get Blade ok, if not that's ok too.  But the scalpers can suck it!

Anybody know if Paulmart had or will get him? I check that store from time to time but they never have what I'm looking for anymore.

@mighty-thanos I think if Josh is posting about it it must be legit.

Fair point. Josh's reputation is riding on this one.

@abaddon looks like New Ethernia Man at Arms basically...plus the dagger...that's it

@depp76 Amen to that! If that's what it takes to push Mattel further back into the Whispering Woods and get to know its inhabitants better, then so be it! 😏

Wow. New Masterverse figures are next level!

Despara: I love the Lohni vibe coming out of this reinterpretation, particularly the chest and helmet. However, I dislike the disproportionate nose of her mask.

Oversized Moss Man: Taking a few inspirations back from the previous Revelation figure, such as the clip-on root as an alternative hand, is really welcome here. He's both bushy and vegetal with leaves coming down his loincloth and his weapon has a few additional details — awesome!

Mantenna: The more efficient distribution of his colours makes him look more vibrant. His eyes are pushed out to the extreme from their cavities. The gun now replaces the crossbow with plugged-in eyeballs?! Crazy!

Mosquitor: He's rumored to be coming with an optional and bloodier chest plate. His wings provide an interesting alternative to his Vintage Collection counterpart. Just like Mantenna, I think the tip of the gun could be used to interchange weaponry — maybe his proboscis could do that too?

Anti-Eternia He-Man: The Hellskull motif as a diadem is interesting. The shield is where all the decorative potential lies for me — stunning!

Keldor: The colours go all over the place, which I appreciate. The putrid face 'à la 200X' is something I've wanted as an added bonus ever since I started collecting MotU Classics.

Dragstor: The big winner for me! Never saw that one coming... Swappable hands versus tyres – genius! The tapered mask makes him look even creepier.

FLAWLESS VICTORY !!!  when can we expect these figures to come out ? I am guessing Kobra Khan, Hordak and Teela will be in September/October, so the new ones are probably either late 2025 or early 2026...it is 7 figures...that's 2 waves of 3, plus Moss Man will be coming solo, on Mattel Creations

I suspect we will have wave 18 and 19 before Christmas and the 20th wave will be in early 2026.  Im curious how deep the vintage collection goes?  

So after the lastest reveals, for those keeping count, here are the figures left in Masterverse to complete the vintage line:

@abaddon As far as Stinkor is concerned, I have never held a better revision than the Revelation one. He has everything needed to proudly replace the MOTUC one on our shelves. However, I'd be more inclined to agree with you about Whiplash; I think the face could have been given more attention. Other than that, he's great, and I like that they made him slightly bulkier. Spikor has that cartoon vibe perfectly captured in figure form, and he was well designed for the Revelation show. Regarding Battle Armor He-Man, I like both the Revelation figure with his bright armour and axe, and the New Eternia version, which has a more medieval veteran vibe. So, all in all, Whiplash and, more importantly, Jitsu are the ones to rescue (lol)!

@abaddon Mattel will probably do New Eternia versions of Price Adam, Orko, Gwildor. Spikor, Stinkor and Scare Glow...Queen Marlena will appear sooner or later...New Eternia battle cat...Jitsu and Whiplash could be better I agree, but they're far from bad figures

I definitely prefer catching up to the “missing” characters than redos, especially when I’m quite happy with the first round… but I know Mattel likes their redos.

I did skip Jitsu (for now), and there are characters that I’m not so interested in, but for example I love Revolution BA He-Man, I’d rather not get a third BA HM.

I like Stinkor, only he’s too tall with that Beast Man body. Whiplash’s face is not optimal. But yeah, they have a flaw but I still got them because the cool positive design aspects outweigh the negatives for me.

I am even toying with the thought of getting that Jitsu, because I found a great customizer head for him.

I'm bored with everything shown at SDCC so far except for Masterverse. I'm going to order the last few Origins figures I want, Vypor, Lord Grasp, Terroar and the last few Vintage figures to finish it up. And from now on I'm going all-in on Masterverse. Pre-ordering everything, making sure I have the cash ready & won't be missing anything. Moss-Man, Mosquitor, Dragstor & Mantenna are blowing me away.

Unlike Origins (Two-Bad), I can't believe Masterverse already gave us all of Skeletor's crew. Thats usually my top priority, get all the evil warriors ASAP.

I am totally disappointed in the POP offerings. Isn't there supposed to be a POP anniversary?  I was hoping for a lot more girls from the Great Rebellion. What the hell is Mattel doing?  STOP making F'ing Man-At-Arms over & over again & start releasing Castaspella, Glimmer, Mermista, Entrapta & Sweet Bee. And where the F is Swift Wind?  He-Man & Skeletor got Battle Cat & Panthor, is 1 F'in horse too much to ask for??? If you don't want to make a new Swift Wind then at least re-release the Classics version on Mattel Creations so everybody who missed out can get one for a decent price. These F'in toy companies are completely out of touch. 

Despara, Keldor, Mossy and AE He-Man are all far enough removed for me not to care. There was a time I'd have bought them without hesitation but Mattel have killed almost all goodwill. 

The Horde members are a must though their vintage versions are inevitable anyway. 

@sci-fitsunami He'd put his arms to his waist, sorta acting like a trike.

I’m digging all these new Masterverse offerings.

Still thinking Mantenna looks too small, similarly to what they did with Leech. Otherwise he’s pretty cool.

I think I’ll get most of these to be honest.

I just wish Moss Man’s head wouldn’t be so cartoony.

And they don’t have to do all the Horde at once. I’d love a bit more variety.

But otherwise, I’m pretty pleased.
