Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

I have Teela and Hordak on the way to me now, Due next week. Heard kind of mixed things about Teela, which is a shame, but we'll see how it goes when she gets here.

Hordak and Kobra Khan from this new Wave look great. Teela looks really good except for her face sculpt. Her eyes keep looking up! Which is why she is known as KLUT (Keep Looking Up Teela) around these parts. But it looks like it may be a case by case, figure by figure sort of thing. I wish you luck on your Teela The Scream Man. I hope she's looking straight ahead. Let us know what you think of her and Hordak when you get them.

I can't believe this Wave hasn't gone up for pre order on BBTS and other online retailers yet.

Thank you for spreading the gospel of KLUT.
 
I had these POed on the original mystery links, but went ahead and POed on these links as well. Will cancel if necessary, but I feel like doubles of some or all of these might be in order.
 
First off, why does BBTS keep not getting everything to pre order in a Wave. Today, they don't have Hordak with this Masterverse Wave, and the other day for DC Multiverse, they didn't have Mirror Master. What the Hell BBTS.

Second, I pre ordered Kobra Khan and Teela from BBTS and Hordak from Amazon.

Long live the KLUT!
 
Sigh. Ordered a set of these from Australia last night, so of course they are IN STOCK at EE, a few miles away from me, today.

Sigh.

Yeah, I ordered more Hordak and Khan. I’m not proud, but I’m happy.
 
Ew Teela's painted skin tone chest...they 100% should have sprung for two mold parts and combined them. That snake head is going to scratch up her boobies. It's already scratching off on Man Child's review:

Mattel sucks at paint matching flesh tone, they've used this wrong color tone for over a decade (same color they use on WWE figures). Her accessories and clothing look nice, at least.
 
Photos still aren't doing her justice, though she doesn't seem to be looking up as offensively as before. How could they do such a great job on the new Evil-Lyn and She-Ra, and botch this one up? Hopefully they get Sorceress right whenever they get around to her.

I think toy companies need to do something to adjust for the bleedthrough color of the plastic under their skintones/lighter colors. Same with the new Psylocke- you'd think they would have figured this out by now.

Psylocke...painting a lighter complementary color over a darker one is just stupid. The non-cheap way would be to paint two layers of flesh, or white then flesh. In general they should avoid it whenever possible, and I think Hasbro is improving at that (we're often getting multi-part heads where the mask and face are different plastics) but Mattel's toy designers just keep dropping the ball. Evil-Lyn just recently got a flesh-plastic chest, I absolutely cannot fathom why they didn't do it for Teela other than being cheap.
