In Australia they aren't easy to find but there is a window of a few weeks where they're available on the Mattel website.
It is definitely a relief! While browsing Amazon France, I noticed that the Masterverse vintage collection figures are also being distributed quite well, except for Zodac. eBay is the only option for him. But again, the price was reasonable. If the distribution remains as is, we can apprehend this hobby with a bit more peace of mind.
@onlyoneskeletor I guess the MV Vintage Collection has the muscle of Walmart behind, which may help not only the US fans. The numbers might be higher, and it’s more dialed into some international distribution connections. Nice to hear in any case, also for future releases… 🤞
Has Mattel gone on record and said the 40th anniversary He-Man is the vintage collection He-Man? I want to know if I have been foolishly waiting for a vintage collection He-Man.

No.
You have.

@smitty-81 I realize I am preaching to the choir here but Mattel needs to step it up when it comes to communication.
@mighty-thanos I think they play it close to the chest because of how easy it would be to bootleg some MOTU figures.

I don't think there's been an official statement but as Faker uses the same tooling(aside from the computer module) and we're 5 figures in without an alternative He-man, I'd guess that is the intention.
I hope Beast man is the next Vintage Collection figure. My entry into this crazy world was when I received He-man, Skeletor and Beast man for Christmas in 1982 so those three have a special nostalgic place in my heart. The original wave of 8 figures, vehicles and Grayskull along with those 4 minicomics encapsulate MOTU for me. Of course I watched Filmation but tribal He-man and the 2 halves of the sword granting access to Grayskull is the definitive narrative to me. That Filmation abandoned that core concept of the toyline baffles me to this day.
And Moss Man has arrived! The introduction of a newer and more striking design. No criticism intended for the more sober one, by the way. My Eternia Jungle display is on the verge of being augmented with a few more elements that will impart that final, superlative touch and ensure its flawlessness.

Masters of the Universe needs a better brand manager.

We're on the same page here. As much as many despise the fact that there were three variations of Beast Man's original look (which still hasn't been reproduced at the Masterverse scale), I will only be satisfied when this aesthetic is finally made into a toy. His face has a unique, raging expression, and his gaze is intense. In fact, I still haven't resold either of the MOTUC replicas of him (the original and the Mini-Comics Alcala version). Now, there's a good chance he'll be next on the list, alongside maybe... Evil-Lyn? She's been rumored for quite a while now, and she finally appears on Stratos's back card with her hairy comrade that you and I are pleading for. Come on, Mattel! A tandem of Evil Warriors for the next wave of Vintage Collection Masterverse figures!

On one side, the figures are cool. I have no problem with them making the figures.
One the other side, The Vintage Collection really should be a Mattel Creations exclusive NOT Walmart. The Vintage Collection is blocking/preventing my Walmart from getting any other Masterverse figures in stock. No Ninjor! No Kobra Khan! No Roboto! Only Zodac & Faker.
And dear God there's another F**KIN Man-At-Arms on the way. I swear, if My Walmart starts loading up on that f**king guy, I'm gonna buy them all up & return them to a different Walmart far away. Just so I don't have to look at him.
Got my Kobra Khan, he’s pretty awesome, so many possibilities but my favorite is how it completely changes his look wether you have his mouth open or closed. Excellent.
and still, I don’t really need a lot of other Snake Men anytime soon. Ok fine, Tung Lashor.
The others can stay in limbo. I literally hate the Snake Men now, with all the Origins figures they’ve done in their snake year.
Still so burned out on them.
KK is an exception, since I see him as Evil Warrior first. And I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on the Classics version. Sleek, simple,… different from the MV. One of my holy grails, though I’m not paying $100 for him. MV is totally fine for the time being.

I know what you mean about the endless Snakes (I always wanted the whole crew as a kid) because they are actually great figures but Mattel relentlessly killed the enthusiasm. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Lair was predetermined long ago.
That said, so long as they don't fucking New Eternia the remaining Snakes they'll have a winner on their hands if we get quality like Kobra. And it has to be said the recent Horde figures look phenomenal.

We have the Power!
@cosmic My insatiable desire for more Snakemen has only just begun, in fact. The rationale behind this is that Origins is not a part of my collection, and thus, it does not factor into the equation. (Nonetheless, I am greatly perturbed by the fact that the Masterverse line is lagging behind in terms of character diversity.) As for Kobra Khan, I may soon sell my MOTUC figure of him. It's in excellent condition, so if you're serious about acquiring one at a reasonable price, let me know. I'd be happy to seal the deal with you, comrade! @sketchyskeletor I can't help but imagine the prowess they could attain with King Hsss. OMG!
@onlyoneskeletor I’m somewhat serious, yes! Depending on my finances at the time, but yeah, he is definitely up there for my Classics dreams.
Mind you, if I went by space constraints and being rational, I should not expand my Classics any more, and to what u go 😂
Nope! I want all the Snakemen ASAP. I don't want anymore friggin He-Mans, Man-At-Arms, Beast-Mans, Teelas, Evil-Lyns, Hordaks or Skeletors.
If you're sick of the Snakemen then just the sight of He-Man, Skeletor or Man-At-Arms should make you puke. lol
THAT is what we all need to do! Only problem is, I don't think my hands are steady enough anymore. I will have to buy a micro tiny paint brush & then i'll still have to cut off half of the bristles. I'm not looking forward to it. lol
So the sculpting isn't the problem.
Woohoo! Just received my MC Moss Man. What a figure! Had to do a repair on Kobra Khan. His left leg snapped off at the thigh swivel. Thankfully his movements are not too hindered.
