Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

Holy smokes that Moss Man. Between that and the 200x stuff looks like I'm back into MOTU again.

Woot! We need more activity in the MOTU forum.

I got excited when I saw they were doing 200X, but the paint looks so... simple?

Probably because they're Origins figures, and they really do look a lot like the actual toon.

 

[Chooch555]

Ohhhh... I thought they were Masterverse.

They're calling them Origins, though between these and the Thundercats crossover figures, I'm not even sure what that's supposed to signify anymore. One of the Mattel guys at the booth called the 200X Origins a "spiritual successor" to the previous Origins stuff.

Getting Stratos was easier than I expected. Though I give it 50/50 chances Walmart ever fulfills the order. Betting he shows up on BBTS before they ever ship.

Which makes sense. I love me some Origins, but trying to fit everything into that aesthetic probably wouldn't work in the long run. Probably better to just keep Origins to the vintage toy line aesthetic and rename the other lines to avoid confusion.

Good graphic summarizing what has been shown so far.

All of these look great...except Keldor who looks REALLY stupid with that white torso. Despara looks like she might have removable armor that has the Adora look underneath. If that's the case that is a really smart move on Mattel's part (almost makes up for the stupidity of the white torso on Keldor. Almost).

The only must purchase for me will be that Moss Man. He looks freakin' gorgeous.

Did i mention that Keldor looks really dumb?

I wonder with that Keldor if his torso will be blue in the finished product? His hands and face are blue, so maybe his torso should and will be too. Or is it supposed to be he has a white shirt on much like Prince Adam? I don't know. But the white is weird.

I pre ordered all the Masterverse figures from Wal-Mart today. I got x 2 Stratos, x2 Man At Arms, and 1 Hordak. The Hordak I will probably cancel once I get it pre ordered at BBTS whenever that Wave goes up.

I hate to agree because I like the figure in theory but the painted torso as a shirt never looks good in this line. I like that armor and head enough that I can live with it, but let's just go shirtless, fellas, it's MOTU. The real shame is that these figures can't just pop apart at the waist like MOTU Origins.

I'm facing one of my own pet peeves as well, assuming Anti-Eternia He-Man has a pegged shield and not the kind with the handle; trying to not let it bother me even with all that reuse he's just looking so good.

Some of the products were updated, like Mosquitor has new chest plates, good watch thanks cmoney

Oh SICK AE He-Man's shield has straps instead of a peg and slots for TWO swords!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
