@admin They keep trying to add a secondary image to that classic Mer-Man visual, and it always feels a bit… forced (as it was on his Origins card back). The Teela abduction insert looks beautiful, too...

@sci-fitsunami I always had a crush on Darryl Hannah 😃 Don’t have mine yet. I hope I’m getting a good one 🤞 I suspect all the red in the Cartoon pops nicely, and goes with the Horde s...

I would love that, but the tendency of these companies seems that they want to do higher priced items, something that “is not possible” otherwise. I don’t really look too much at what Hasbro is doing ...

@lurker-man Oh yeah this needs to apply to every entity and not just the “little guy”. Those tables and booths though at these Cons can be very expensive (and extremely sought after). So they’re gener...

@sketchyskeletor Wow. That is impressive, I like how you can swap the regular ribs for figure carrying clips. Not my price range, but I’m sure there are people who can swing it and would love it. Comp...

@smitty-81 The fact that we find out later that he *didn’t* tell the story is an artistic storytelling device that isn’t perfectly handled but to me it’s a legitimate ambiguity on purpose. Just not ha...

I would like to know more about how Mattel’s designers exactly are using it. Like, the final illustrations are still done by people. It’s possible they “only” use it to mock up ideas in the beginning....

They might argue Hordak was marked as New Etheria, him and Mantenna & Co were in the cartoon. And we did get a new She-Ra that only I liked 😏 But YES, you are right, in Masterverse it was...

Great Black Big Great SomethingWizard is here! He fits well with this week’s other Origins arrival, Sketchbook He-Man. Too bad they dropped any Mark Taylor reference from He-Man’s packaging. I guess s...

This is a really cool Battle Cat that would have amped up this whole collab! Now, I couldn’t have bought it for hundreds and hundreds of $$$… but I like this collab, even without BC… I’m not super cra...

I found out first from EBay, as I was browsing MOTU offerings, I saw the first post of someone offering Origins Blast Attack already 🙄

@ornclown Weeell I thought that Swifty was pretty epic, once you turn the back legs the right way 😅 Of course this was not enough, 100% agree. I guess though, the whole CC of this year was of...

@smitty-81 I’m not the political police, I just… having lived in a certain country with a certain history for all my youth, this sort of over-vigilance has been injected in my veins... It’s a bit like...

@sci-fitsunami We had the NE She-Ra, Hordak, Mantenna, Mosquitor, technically Dragstor and Despara,… Even though some were not New Etheria. She-Ra and Hordak were though. Speaking of, got a big bill f...

@smitty-81 Ah of course. Duh me. I always see it just as Sketchbook He-Man. 😅 It is also an unfortunate abbreviation… 😬

@slycooperastroboy51 He doesn’t come with a comic nor an art card, so whatever is on the package, that’s the lore. Also the packaging designer sometimes puts stuff on his Instagram. They are elite Tr...

Cool variations! Still curious why you call him SS He-Man 😅  

Shipping notice from Creations Great Wizard, and also from Target, apparently Sketchbook He-Man is on his way already.

@abaddon2 That should be an easy enough Creations release!

Not for everyone, but kinda fun. Happy for the artist, and for all of the fans of his work.

February… this will feel like a long month till then! I really am hungry for info how MOTU will continue, especially Masterverse and Origins Vintage.

@danavas Companies do what companies do, usually to save money, it doesn’t always make sense. They spent a lot of budget on new (body) parts, but are being cheap on accessories (and killed the comics)...

@smitty-81 SS He-Man? I hope not 😬 I also saw the notice on TNI earlier and ordered one. Two “Vintage style” Origins in one week, woo!

Went ahead and ordered this guy, even though I find him a bit derivative. (Yes, I know we also have a hundred different “He-Men” thanx to Classics era,…) Had lots of trouble on the website this time, ...

@sci-fitsunami To be fair, all the reviewers like to post “controversial” titles to generate clicks. Everything is clickbait now 🙄 So your theory is that these non-nostalgia characters would ...
