@smitty-81 Okay! So the “build-up a figure” strategy is on with Origins? That’s a smart move considering the modularity of these figures. And a green demon from the famous mini-comics “Masks of Power”?! Awesome!

@smitty-81 Those straight up look like brand new MOTU villains – love it!

@smitty-81 Which Red Sonja figure is that? I must have it…

@smitty-81 Ha, that would be a fun way to explain their more modest size. Maybe they could replicate the MOTU Classics Giants? I know the molds are probably gone, but still, it helps to scan an existing product. Next to…   Read more»

@smitty-81 Yeah that would be fun. Thankfully, MEGA figures are still available to get, even if Mattel doesn’t do this. I have a few… somewhere. Nowadays, they have the Brickshop micro figs, which might be too small for it.The Mighty…   Read more»

@smitty-81 Oh, like in the recent Godzilla vs DC sets. Could be a compromise, if they can’t make them very big. Or even if…   Read more»

@smitty-81 you rock! thank you!

@smitty-81 Thanks for the heads-up!! Ordered both of them! Teela looks great in the Origins style and Skeletor has some good detail in his design… he appears to use the same type of “hood articulation” as the chronicles figure. (Also,…   Read more»

@smitty-81, and anyone else,  the 5 1/4 x 4 1/4, 2×2  card sleeves work great for vintage and orgins mini comics Here’s an example from Amazon https://a.co/d/09xGwzEV   For Classics size, I’m think I’m using these 5×7 style. There’re not…   Read more»

@smitty-81 it’s okay, one time I wrote it as Axel Himenis, lol.

@smitty-81 Axel Gimenez
 

@smitty-81 Oh wow! Riley is awesome. Very good news!

@smitty-81 These weren’t all released on MC, but I believe they were shown as MC
2025 – Sting-Or, Dragstor, She-Ra + Swift Wind2024 – Rio Blast, Geldor, Demo-Man, CC Modulok, CC Vultak

@smitty-81 We were also introduced to Ara-Lee in Masters of the Multiverse issue 5, but this was in continuity with the original mini-comic He-Man

@smitty-81 Oh, I was thinking of a different guy then.

@smitty-81 Inconclusive, I’d say. We’ll have to get confirmation from Axel…

That’s the one I’d be more interested in getting…

@smitty-81 The first entry of Skeleton in the Sketchbook Series. Yeah, interesting wording… it could also just mean sale-talk, hey look he’s never been made before… in the sketchbook series.
But I agree it sounds a bit more like a subtle announcement.

@smitty-81 Nice catch! I’d like to see this one

@smitty-81 yeah. I still love 30 seconds to Mars tho

@smitty-81 yeah. I still love 30 seconds to Mars tho

@smitty-81 I don’t think those leaks about him not liking the movie are true, I think he is either trying to stay away so he doesn’t ruin the marketing, or he’s upset that the studio doesn’t want him to do press. Because he’s liked posts about the movie and Skeletor on Instagram:

@smitty-81 Hey, I’m all for it! My preferred line is Origins, so this would be a dream-come-true.
Just so long as none of them become retailer exclusives… ugh. I do not agree with that model.
 
Also, we’re forgetting Origins Movie Battle Cat!!

@smitty-81 Page comes up blank.

@smitty-81 Yup, was just added to my pile of loot.

@smitty-81 Watched this earlier. “Takes getting used to”, but like the reviewer says, Ram Man is actually cool. Better than the first pics seemed. Or perhaps we just got used to him 😊  I also agree with him that the partial…   Read more»

@smitty-81 that is sick! I love the artwork on origins, and this might be my new favorite!

@smitty-81 I hope Mattel makes that soon. Princess of Power Origins

@smitty-81 I think that was a Masterverse comic, actually. 😊  Quest for He-Man is where Skeletor steals He-Man’s memory and sends him in some other dimension and on that Planet ruled by Plundor. Sorceress calls on Zodac to help locate…   Read more»

@smitty-81 Then he should be released with CC Sorceress

@smitty-81 The dude in the other thread who said last year that a Skeletor in a suit was coming just said the Sorceress is coming.

@smitty-81 It seems like Mattel just won’t take their foot off the gas! This is awesome… I really hope they continue to expand Origins into more original characters, as well as those missing from CC, 200x, and vintage. After, there…   Read more»

@smitty-81 I guess one other option is to solve it with just paint application. My guess though, is that he’ll have real texture, bevause with the movie designs, they have been spending money. And they have no mini comics, weapons…   Read more»

@smitty-81 Yeah definitively. Photos and renders can just slightly differ and he looks a bit better in the pic with the black background. Maybe it’s just the posing, or maybe the white background is a lesser photoshop comp / mock-up…   Read more»

@smitty-81 I wonder how many of the movie characters we’ll get as Origins. The year is still long… Rammy looks slightly better proportioned in the black background pic. Those images are usually closer to the final product. On the white…   Read more»

@smitty-81 I think it’s way too bulky, but then again, this is supposed to look like if the movie came out in the 80s and was part of the original toyline.

@smitty-81 I guess ram man will have the classic action feature

Before any of those characters, I’d like to see Jackalman, Ssslithe, Monkian, and Vultureman… then, Ratar-O, the Thunder Kittens, and Snow Meow-Man!
 

@smitty-81 we need a Snarf-Man, to go along with battle cat at least lol

@smitty-81 I hope we get the ThunderKittens, Snarf, Snarfer, Bengali, Pumyra, and Lynx-O
