Mattel Kids/Core MOTU Movie Line and Products

I was considering not ordering the kids core line. That consideration has been murdered. I ordered all the new stuff from BBTS. Also, there are 6 new items up for pre order for the core line. Man At Arms, Tri Klops, and Ram Man, as well as Version 2's of He-Man, Skeletor, and Teela.

No pics though.

Also, at one point a 2 in 1 playset was rumored. And now again a playset is rumored at the same price point of about $100 as it is being found in computers at places. This mystery playset is supposed to be available today, but nobody has it up for pre order. So, we'll see, I guess.

It's okay, man. You held your ground as long as you could. And by that I mean right up until there was literally any temptation or opportunity.
 
Watching some of the trailers for the movie and seeing how we are getting this cool Skel Knight army builder, I hope we get the Eternian Palace Guards as a figure too. Both in the kids and Chronicles lines.
 
For $10 I feel there is a lot going on with these figures. Enough for me to say, "This is a pretty good price".
Likenesses are ballpark (and honestly, I've never required anything more from my action figures).
Articulation is better than expected. Ball joint neck, shoulders, and hips. Wrist hinges in the correct direction. Single jointed knees and elbows are something I would expect at this price (as opposed to $30 Black Series figures). I miss the ankle articulation but, again, $10.

I picked up He-Man when I saw him this morning. I thought this would scale with my vintage Greyskull, it works out really well. Honestly.....if we could get ankle articulation for like, $2 more, I don't know if I'd mind seeing more of my favorite franchises in this format if it meant paying 1/3 of the price. I feel like I got what I paid for, which happens less and less these days.

(Head swaps fit on correctly and the skin tone matches, but WAY too big.)

Spotted Core He-Man, Teela, and Beast Man at Walmart this morning. Nice sculpts, but I'm not at all tempted by figures at this scale. No sign of any Chronicles.
