But then, Josh at SDCC, to all our surprise, said “the promise” to finish Origins doesn’t include the movie figures or any 87 figures?!? As always: who knows.
Okay what were his exact words? Because if they aren't doing the '87 figures, they're basically lying three seconds later on the "promise".
I don’t have the exact words, sorry… it’s in Pixel Dan’s video of the Mattel booth with that guy Damon. Also we talked about it somewhere earlier in this thread but I don’t know where. He backtracks on the 87 characters, saying that was not part of the original promise.But then, Josh at SDCC, to all our surprise, said “the promise” to finish Origins doesn’t include the movie figures or any 87 figures?!?

Which nobody ever heard of that, this exclusion.
But he also says that nothing is off the table soon after.
C'mon Mattel, let's get those guys already. It's taking too long. Plasmar is a badass. Also, it's a great way to expand the POG era.
I think they've been shifter to POG, if so I wouldn't mind seeing Slamurai, Snake Horde Trooper, Gr'Asp and Terroar again, maybe with some improvements. Also I lobe the idea that Plasmar killed a Snakeman, skinned him and is wearing his lower body as pants.

Yeah, that's the jest of what was said. Damon didn't say "no" to '87 characters in Origins, but he didn't exactly say "yes" either. His tone, however, to me, seemed to suggest that they had something planned but they weren't ready to reveal anything yet.

I just want to know if that helmet comes off and if there's a good Duncan head under there.

SBS Duncan is my most anticipated of all the Sketch figures so far. He just looks like a fun toy.

So, I was at Target yesterday and saw that they added the refreshed He-Man and Skeletor to the movie figure display. (I gotta say, the refreshed figures don't look as sharp as the original Origins versions... the colors are much darker and the eyes on He-Man look more like he's wearing eyeliner.)
However, the curious thing is that there was a bunch of Galitzine He-Man figures that looked to be refreshed as well. The silver paint looked much thicker, and the brown plastic was way darker...
Am I just imagining things, or was there a running change to the movie He-Man figure?
(I may go back and buy one just to do a side-by-side comparison with my original...)

Every time I see SS Man-at-Arms I can't help but think of Dumb Donald from Fat Albert.

Thanks!
Now he's ruined for me!! 😉

Caution: MHA is an acquired taste... and he uses foul language.
But, beside that, this movie Origins Skeletor looks awesome!!!
This continues Mattel's extra bit of TLC with the movie-based figures. I can't wait to add him to my collection! 😎

I think Adora would be perfect, also for the She-Ravers. Completing the royal family. I’m just not sure they would do two female figures?I'm trying to think of someone that would go with a Filmation Sorceress, in the same way Randor and Marlena did and everyone that comes to mind already got a figure. Maybe Glimmer as another magic user.
Possibly Adora? I could see it working thematically
Zodac would be an interesting choice… he is another… mentor-like figure. He could work.
I had briefly the thought of Angella hehe Two winged warriors!
I'm catching up here and just read about this NOW (September 2026). Since we've yet to hear anything from Mattel about more Filmation Cartoon Collection characters, and Daimar hasn't been seen on this site since May (gulp) I'm guessing that this was never as "for sure" as it once seemed.
But to echo what was said, yeah, I seriously doubt they'd release more than one or two Filmation females in a wave at the same time. Which is crazy nonsense, of course.
If they wanted to stick to Filmation they could do Sorceress, Zodak and Lord Masque? But I'd much rather see Sorceress, Adora and Sea Hawk. THAT would be awesome. Or Glimmer. Or Angella. Or Razz. Or Scorpia (we NEED her!)
Sigh. I am very sad about all this non-progress as far as She-Ra characters are concerned.
BBTS has a bunch of MC exclusives on their site right now. All discounted too.
Origins Two-Bad is coming!
This September.

@toyshark yeah I mean I’m happy that the figures don’t sell out in minutes, and that stuff is available for a longer time. Like in a, you know, store.

Pictures of Origins Two-Bad released:

Looking great overall!
Blue head looks a bit chunky in the details, orange parts a bit more yellow this time, shield appears bigger? Am I seeing things?
Anytime the mini-comic is not by Reilly Brown, the reveal makes me cringe, sadly.
But figure looks fantastic on card! A real highlight. May need a second one, on this rare occasion…
