@searchor Gross, dude

They got carried away! And yeah, some fanboys might have skewed the original survey. Most people in here, for example, have expressed a certain snake fatigue. So I am still surprised this thing won. ...

@smokinya Well it’s two different business models. Trying to do worldwide retail stores is tough… they have to be dirt-cheap in production. But it can be worth a lot, to raise the profile. As someone ...

@smokinya No-brainer if you have the bank. 😏 Snout Spout is an exception. Most MV still cost $25. Some have enough accessories for two different display modes and multiple weapons. A figure for $100 ...

@chrisa Yeah it’s true, adult collectors are a big part of the business now. There was a bit of a boom during the lockdowns, people had nothing else to do. Of course that decreased when people could g...

@smitty-81 Where’s Two-Bad in the list? I’d still keep him on there, as long as he’s not officially announced or leaked. They said he’s sculpted, but it doesn’t mean he’s coming soon. Generally I feel...

@smitty-81 Faker could be CC; a Filmation Faker would be an easy repaint, like “Invisible” Skeletor. Although I feel both are kind of a cheat.

I would have loved to see a vintage collection Blade. I had some hopes because De Longis was there. So it was only two vintages announced, plus Demo and Geldor (Vultak has CC buck). It’s unfortunate t...

Because I’m still curious about this line, I went ahead and measured my Classics Horde Trooper, which is 6.5 inches, and my Masterverse Clamp Champ, which is exactly 7 inches, measuring head to toe wh...

Is this the final reveal of SDCC 2024 for MOTU / Mattel? Or was there still a placeholder somewhere?

@chrisa “Reptile Wars”!

@smitty-81 Synergy! Would be funny and awesome if it would indeed be the Joes fans who help put it over the edge! Joes to the rescue! Or Cobra, that is 😅

I’m getting Remco vibes from the Snake Lair. Or imagining little plastic knight figures around it, in a catalogue ad that only ran once. In that sense, it does have some retro vibes 😆 The entrance in...

@smitty-81 MEF bucket head is the shape of the cartoon design, but the size of the vintage toy helmet. This compromise might not be working. Mostly I think helmet’s too tall, b/c they incorporated the...

@sci-fitsunami Here’s the comparison

I saw a comparison pic somewhere (Twitter?) and it does look like it’s not *that* much smaller than Eternia… If so, it could be $400. 😬 I always thought crowdfunds have smaller production runs. So th...

Well ok then, moving on… How about those new Origins, eh?

@smitty-81 Why wasn’t it possible for Classics to do Filmation style characters from the get go then? For quite a while it was stated Filmation is off-limits. They own the characters, yes. But it is p...

@smitty-81 That’s different. Not saying that color is the ONLY differentiator. But it may be an additional hurdle. Who knows. Just saying it’s complicated. And usage is a completely different thing fr...

@smitty-81 Broadly, yes. However they do not own the Filmation cartoon library. Some of those designs are jointly developed. They may have to pay a little something to the current co-owner for using t...

@disneyboy All of the CC get “adapted” a bit, since CC has still some of the vintage toys DNA in it. There may be some rights issues, too, since the colors of CC are all a bit off / lighter. But there...

@smitty-81 Can’t get over how batsh*t crazy that Rattlor is!!

@durendal The difference might be the price… And f these figures go for $120 (about half of what the 1/6 figures go for), they will not compete with Masterverse. Like, I won’t buy them, too much for m...

Not enough talk about skeletized Lady Slither.

I JUST realized the scale…!!! A whole new series… so this is a direct competitor to Masterverse. But more expensive. Is this the long awaited continuation of Classics? I have a lot of questions about ...
