Got a notice last night that the Retro-Punching He-Man and Skeletor set was back instock at Target. Got the email this morning that it was getting ready to ship

A look at the cardback artwork for the upcoming Masters of the Universe: Origins "Cartoon Collection" (200X) STRATOS action figure by artist Francisco Etchart 🎨 and courtesy of Mattel Packaging Designer Roy Juarez.

@admin He does look quite nice on card, better than He-Man, who lacks the bulk and something is clearly missing (ahemMini-ComicAhem). Stratos flight gear fills out the bubble more nicely (and hides the lack of aforementioned “ahem”).

(BRING BACK THE MINI COMICS MATTEL 🤬)

Waitwhat? They stopped Minicomics with the 2002 origins line?

@lurker-man Indeed 😡 https://he-mania.com/2025/10/cost-savings-measures-mattel-drops-minicomics-from-origins-cartoon-collection-200x-action-figure-line/

On another note, the “Retro Punching” He-Man/Skeletor 2pack is in and out of stock on Target.com , and there is a special offer, $10 off any $40 toy purchase or something like that, and $20 off any $75.

I got the latter for getting both the retro and the new Stranger Things 2-pack (because I’m a sucker 😝). The offer worked to make me pull the trigger 😅 

Hawke is another opportunity to exploit the female body. First in the Origins brand, of course, and further down the line (wishful thinking)...

Oh yeah...

Sting-Or on the 21st.

@smitty-81 Lotta MOTU going on!

I just got my Megatronketor from Target today, SketchSpikor on his way, Retro Punchpack also being processed (all Target), wish they could send it all together 😏 Walmart Con is also this week! Ouff, my wallet…

Are u not scared to snap that wrist peg, plugging in that axe?

He looks kinda NA! Still resisting… ordered the Stranger Pack and Retro Punching instead.

The ax is a much better connection that Skeletor's energon mace.

As a newer fan of like >a half year could y’all give me some context on this Sting-Or guy? Will likely get him because he’s a cool looking Horde member but I would like a basic explanation to who he is.

@slycooperastroboy51 He's new

@durendal like a brand new new character? Like he doesn’t have any prior lore or personality from like a comic or something?

@slycooperastroboy51 The Four Horsemen, who provided considerable help during the Motu relaunch in 2002 (200X), designed several new bad guys who, unfortunately, never appeared in the show or as toys. He's one of them. Later, Eric Marshall (Gbagok) granted him an unofficial bio. As can be seen below.

He has less official lore than Frog Monger. 

@smitty-81 I like the two evil figures much better than the heroes, but the good guys seem to have better weapons.

Mega-Skeletor’s cannon is unwieldy and is hard to attach, you’re scratching and bending the nice metallic wrists.., and his other stuff is kinda silly. Scare Glow has only the arm blasters, nothing else. Not much to play around.

But, I love Skeletor’s new parts, the armor itself… does Optimus and MAA also have brand-new upper bods? I though it was a shell armor

It's shell armor on the heroes, but new bodies on the bad guys, and I think there's a reason for that, but it's not addressed in the mini comics and it's only hinted at in the Tech Specs.

Sketch spikors came today. Also ordered 2 80th sets with 20 bucks off.

Has Mattel announced a Filmation Sorceress yet?

No and it's criminal. You can forgive Mattel for not making Octavia even though I don't want to but how do you not make the Sorceress. The Sorceress is just as important as Man-At-Arms and Teela. She is in the opening credits.

I could see Sorceress getting a Cretins release with Zoar. Or you have a swappable parts version, that way you could have Teela Na or even NA Sorceress.
