I never had Flying Fists He-Man but I do have Terror Claws Skeletor still complete. Now I have both in Origins and they're great. I think I like the Battle Armor He-Man with the vac metal plating just a bit more, so he's my favorite He-Man so far. I got him for 30 I think during a Target app sale, and the set (with Battle Cat and the display stand) is 100% worth it. It's a really underrated set.
I can't wait for Thunder Punch He-Man. He was always a favorite of mine. And I never had Dragon Blaster Skeletor (missed him in Classics, too), so I want him soon.
I think they skipped those two because of vintage Terror Claws Skeletor, who's really expensive and popular and was late in the original line. He's similar to Scare Glow and Ninjor, whom they've made sure to get to already. Otherwise TP He-Man and DB Skeletor were the second variants originally and should have been next after Battle Armor.

I never had Eternia as a kid. So I'm not particularly sentimental towards it. I was hoping they would do a Snake Mountain next, but this looks awesome and will obviously look great as a display piece. I'll pick it up for my son.
I really want the Origins New Adventures He-man from the Anniversary pack. I'm guessing all four get wide release eventually, but the 4-pack is awesome.

Eternia is crowdfunded from Mattel creations so logistically impossible for me.
Goddammit.

I just got into the Masterverse line because a lot of the figures have been discounted heavily on some sites and I feel too far behind for Origins plus I really like the Masterverse figures. I have to say they didn't really show very much. I would want to buy ar SDCC . Man E Faces and Stratos for sure but I would like to see the line bring out more of the original He man characters before getting to some of these other ones. I Want Clawful, Buzz Off, Ram Man, Webstor, Whiplash etc.

I'm not sure about Eternia. I never had it as a kid, either, but that helps and hurts the argument for getting it. Because it's a crowdfund, it's going to be really expensive, so I'll probably pass because I don't have the space, either. I have vintage Grayskull and Snake Mountain both 90-some percent complete, so that will have to do.
As for the rest of SDCC, Origins had a good showing. Masterverse was okay. Mega Construx didn't show anything new outside of Snake Mountain. I'm afraid it's dying off because of that fact.

I have everything to date except for the newest releases, including multiples of certain sets and figures to make factory-type variants (like Star Comics Faker), and there's still a lot I want to see. If I ever get the space to display it all properly, I feel like I'll have one of the best displays out there haha |

I found three Origins Skeletors on clearance at Walmart today. I already have several, but I can't pass up MOTU figs on clearance ($5.77 each).
Interestingly, one was the vintage head release with the closed mouth, which I've never seen in store and definitely not at this Walmart.
They also had a bunch of Stridors for $25 (not really clearance like the sticker indicated), and then I saw at least one Stridor that was on clearance for $19 and change. Space is an issue, though, so I still passed.

I picked up Stridor for $12.50 on clearance at Walmart last week, and found the Roton yesterday. I'm still not seeing many Origins figures on the shelves around me, but at least they're getting in the vehicles.

I saw Roton at Walmart too but I'm going to wait it out some. All of the vehicles have gone on sale pretty quickly and I've paid full price for all of them.

Found Leech and Snout Spout at Walmart today. They had 2 of each. Surprised to see it at Walmart and not Target, since I almost always find the new Origins there. I never did find the Sun Man/Anti Eternia He Man set. I'll probably have to order it, but it's pretty cheap right now.

Good thing about this line is I've been able to order pretty much everything online, through one site or another or another. |

Awesome reviews, but you should turn the comments on. Its much better if we can talk about the product in the comments. Just an idea. I like how you show all sides of the packaging. It's hard sometimes for us moc collectors to get a good look at the boxes during reviews. |
