Official Mattel/Super7 MotU Thread

I ordered Mekaneck and the Ground Ripper from Mattel Creations when it was on sale. I ordered two so I could have an extra Ground Ripper and an extra Mekaneck for customizing (I love the silver boots).

But they sent them in a Mattel sealed case, and now I don't want to open it because it's a Mattel sealed case lol

Thanks for the heads up. These came out to 23 each, so I saved 10 bucks. Not as good as Target's deal.

I don't know how they decide to include action features, though it's probably cost. I actually prefer no action features (because of part swapping), but I will say it doesn't make sense they do it with some figures and not others.

So Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor have it, but Mekaneck doesn't. I guess he needed to be a deluxe figure?

Mekaneck is the only one I dont have 2 of, so far. I'm gonna have to grab another one at Target while it's on clearance. I just wish the Origins vehicle packaging wasn't so enormous. It makes it really difficult to store them properly for us moc collectors.

I like that the packaging is like the original packaging, but that's it, lol. I've had more than a few get damaged over the last couple of years. Although that's mostly my own fault for not storing them properly. I have to order some more protective cases, too, for some origins figures.

I ordered some really good ones for figs from Big Bad but I didn't order enough because I have too many figs and they were sold out last time I checked. MOC Masters I think they were called. If you know of some other good ones, let me know.

Well, it looks like Origins will be Mattel Creations Exclusives from now on. I don't know if I'm happy with that or not. It will definitely be easier to find them through MC, but then again, I don't see the line lasting very long after this. We might get another handful and that's it. I blame that Buzz-Off wave 100% for this train wreck.

Eric I'm curious what do you think of this?

Not a fan of the MC route. Money up front and waiting months upon months, MC has issues shipping peoples products out. Shipping cost for every figure.

I think it's bad news. But at least we've gotten pretty deep into the line. Sy-Klone was the guy I was most dying for and they finally showed him. Rokkon and Night Stalker were on my list, too. So if we can get Two-Bad and Gwildor, I'd be really happy. Although, I thought for sure they'd do Origins versions of movie Skeletor and He-man. I don't understand Masterverse getting some characters and Origins getting others. My goal when I decided to go all in with these was to upgrade all the guys I had as a kid and I'm almost finished. Which is crazy. That includes vehicles and playsets. I absolutely love the line.

I'll definitely grab some of the FIlmation looks, but I can't see myself going very deep with those. He-man, Skeletor, Beastman and Trap Jaw are kind of the ones I most want and they're coming first. So I'll probably stick with just those to have them represented but I don't need both versions of every character. The toy versions were what I'm most nostalgic about since we never had cartoon versions as kids.

It just seems like Masterverse has become the priority. Primarily because it has a show to support them. That's fine, but I don't care for them, or the show if we're getting into the weeds. Grateful for the Origins run, regardless if it survives this next phase.

They’re really close to the Origins. Just Filmation designs and cardbacks. Parts look a little more cartoony but they’re all going to be swappable with the other Origins.
