Another long wait for most of these but well worth it. This line is incredible to me as a huge MOTU fan. Faker is my favorite character, and his figure is my favorite in the line now. The reason I got three was one to open, one to keep MOC that went right into a figure protector that arrived with these figures, and one for a possible custom.  |

FYI...if your still looking for the Battle armor He-man and Skeletor I saw them for the first time yesterday at Walmart so be on the lookout. Which is crazy bc six months ago they were first popping up at Target.

Which is crazy bc six months ago they were first popping up at Target. It is crazy. Just when I started to wonder if they'd ever be available again, Big Bad and Amazon and Walmart got them in. Did you notice if He-Man had the orange wraps on his boots? The one I got from Big Bad has the same plain boots as the regular release. Kind of a bummer because I liked that detail in the pictures. |

Does anyone have the DC Primal Age figures? Are they compatible with the MOTU Origins figures?

I checked the Target app for the Battlefield Warriors set when I woke up around 5:30. The app says not available. I get a notification about 5 minutes later and I immediately open the app. It says 5 in stock, but I couldn't add anything to my cart.

That's a bummer, though. I've had several notifications that it's in stock, but as soon as I check it, the app says out of stock. I want this set because it looks awesome, but I'm having a hard time justifying the price. Regular figs are 15, and the cats have been 25, so why is this 50? The extra base doesn't warrant 10 extra, especially when the Sky Sled had a base, a figure, and the Sled for 30. |

The price is a tough one because I really don't need a second Battlecat with minor deco changes. I thought the price and Battlecat being essentially a rerelease would make this set an easier find, but so far that hasn't been the case. I'm up to five notifications today (7:10am, 10:08am, 1:04pm, 3:04pm, and 5:35pm). |

I'm going to trust that, like you mentioned, supply will catch up like Keldor-Kronis. I saw about 6 or 8 of those in stock at Target today. Seems like they went a little overboard on that pack. I think they'd move a little more if Target could stock more figures than just He-Man and Skeletor, but they still should have made fewer. |

The Keldor pack is not moving at all at my Target. They got two sets that sold right through, and now they're dead stop traffic. I'm guessing it gets clearanced out in the not too distant future. I'll buy the Battlefield set if I see it, but solely because I want the He-man. It's pretty ironic that the Classics Battle Cat is like a hot $250 item and these stores can't give away Origins and Revelation Cats right now.

I got a shipping notification for my Scare Glow from Mattel Creations. It'll be here Thursday. I think the original shipping timeframe given was October, so it's nice to see something moving ahead of schedule instead of getting delayed like everything else these days.

I finally placed an order for Battlefields this morning and I received a tracking number a few minutes ago. I got it on my sixth try of the day 🤣.

Ugh. I should have ordered Scare Glow. Told myself I was only buying Revelation figures of He-Man and Skeletor. I'm a liar, obviously. Hopefully the regular release is pretty close to the Exclusive.

I was planning to order Scare Glow but didn't remember till 12:08 pm, and it was way too late by then (by about 7 minutes haha). I'm curious to see how the regular release will differ.
So far, I'm holding off jumping completely in on the Masterverse line. I have Skelegod, He-Man, and Skeletor, but I don't love the likenesses and colors for He-Man and Skeletor. I saw Moss Man this weekend and didn't get too excited. I'll probably end up getting them all, but I haven't been hooked yet. I really think it's because Classics was the definitive line for 7" MOTU for me, and it's really hard to measure up to it.

I can't wait to see all the reveals at PowerCon today. Hopefully there are some surprises, and not just stuff that's already been leaked.

I can't wait to see all the reveals at PowerCon today. Hopefully there are some surprises, and not just stuff that's already been leaked. Some decent stuff was shown. I'm surprised they're skipping Thunder Punch He-Man and Dragon Blaster Skeletor and going straight to Flying Fists He-Man and Terror Claws Skeletor. Sorceress looks all right. Jitsu and Clawful look like they should. Mini-comics Trap Jaw and Stratos are both fine. Overall, I feel like no Origins reveals are that great when they're just copies of the vintage figures. Stuff like mini-comics versions would be more exciting if we hadn't gotten Mega Construx or Classics versions already. As for Masterverse, I was a bit underwhelmed. King Grasykull and Mer-Man look cool, but it's such a heavy focus on Revelation, and the non-Revelation stuff didn't look that great, although I like the idea of concept figures. I think they need to start showing something else for Masterverse ASAP. A 200X He-Man and Skeletor would have been huge. Or cartoon versions. Or comic versions. Just something else other than Revelation because it was advertised as offering everything MOTU. |

Was able to grab everything off of Mattel Creations this morning! Happy that I'm able to cancel my preorders for the exclusives from Big Bad. Saved me $120

I missed out on Faker, the one I mainly wanted, because it sold out as I was entering my payment. Hopefully they do a single release for each. I did get Sun-Man and Tri-Klops, though. I almost got the Horde pack, but I couldn't justify the price. No idea why four figures costs 150 when four at retail would be 60. I get they're Power Con exclusives, but a 150% markup? Nonsense. |
