For MOTU fans, are these new WWE figures the same size as the original MOTU figures or are they closer to the new Classics? Those images above have the newer, larger Battle Cat and Wind Raider and they look like they are in scale. Are these bigger than the original Masters line? These are nearly exact size to vintage when you bend their knees to match up with the older figures. I got there just in time, there were only about forty left. LOL. If my little local Walmart gets these, They'll have them until next fall. (We don't even get the Top Picks stuff, and we shouldn't). I really hope they just go to the big busy Walmarts around here. The store I bought the ring from carries more figures than other Walmarts in my area. They had them stacked on one of the heavy duty shelves that are usually used for heavier items like office chairs or tables. My local store sounds similar to yours.

If you're a fan and they don't sell quick, that is good news. You can pick it up whenever at retail. If stores got 2 rings instead of a pallet, you'd be paying scalper prices.

Those images above have the newer, larger Battle Cat and Wind Raider and they look like they are in scale. Are these bigger than the original Masters line? They're using a new MOTU Origins style/scale - it's based on the original figures, but updated with modern articulation so if you have the legs straight they'll be taller than the originals. The only figures that have been released in the style so far were a He-Man/Prince Adam SDCC Exclusive set, and these WWE figures. The actual MOTU Origins range is hitting next year sometime, I believe. The parts are all mix and match also. www.bleedingcool.com/2019/08/02/masters-of-the-universe-origins-sdcc-exclusive-he-man-prince-adam/

Yes and no. I don't disagree, but I can STILL walk into some Target stores and find Retros for Goldberg, Ambrose, Rollins, etc. Walmart had waaaay too many of series 7 as well. Michaels, Angle, Sheamus were everywhere for a long time. Now where is that line?
That line is cancelled, and I have to think the over abundance of those two series are the reason.

Fans ask for Survivor Series Elites to hit retail.
Instead, we get this. I know there’s some people interested in this, but I’m willing to bet not nearly as much as those who want the elites.

Has anyone’s store received the first wave of figures? I’ve only seen the ring with Cena/HHH.

All of those rings/figure pack displays are collecting dust in my neck of the woods.

I just ordered two random single figures for in store pickup on Dec 18. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get canceled this time like it was last week. Hopefully it’ll be Sting and Triple H although I do eventually want doubles of all four in the set. So if it ships I’ll be happy with whichever two they ship.

I'm going to be so annoyed if they send four of the same figure.

The big end cap display has also made its way to southern Maine. We don't get much often at the Walmart here. It looks cool in person but it's not for me.

There is a massive motu market who are willing to spend a lot of money and it is a fantastic franchise so the possibilities are unmatched for this line if executed well Unfortunately they haven't do so thus far and I can see it self warming The sting / clawful mashup is lazy Triple H terror claws likewise Cena / faker is decent and warrior is great The new day / man e faces mashup is easily the best we have seen so far. Actually makes sense e and clear time had been put into it. A few lay ups we haven't yet seen: Charlotte / sorceress mash up. Imagine charlottes iconic green peacock robe but instead it's sorceress' equally iconic feathers Big show / fisto with big shows WMD finisher and fisto having the huge metal fist Teela / becky lynch - teela is a bad ass light brown / ginger hair ass kicking woman. Becky lynch is a ginger hair ass kicking woman Kevin Owens / ram man - short, squatty, rushing in head first...and then there's ram man :-D lol The only scorpion character in MOTU (well, technically POP) is a woman, so who else should Sting have been? Roman is Fisto. Pretty sure I remember either Steve or Bill saying they only had three waves planned out, so you might not have to worry about anything more if these don't move. All of those rings/figure pack displays are collecting dust in my neck of the woods. If these are that dusty after being in the store for a week, you need to complain to management about the lack of cleaning being done in your store, mang.

My local WM has had the display out in the center of the aisles since at least 12/1. They've sold two of 12 or however many comes in the setup
I’m guessing they go on clearance pretty quick to get them out of the way. There’s nowhere for them to go, and they are taking up valuable space

The Finn, Sting, and HHH I ordered last night shipped, but the random figures I ordered two days before haven't updated. I missed out on Warrior.

I haven’t seen any single carded figures in my area.
I have seen the ring end cap at several stores but not a lot have looked to have sold.
I bought 2 sets....they are perfect for my boys to play with.
I am surprised that they don’t seem to be selling better.

The Sting and Triple H I ordered yesterday shipped and will be at my store Tuesday. The two random figures I ordered on the 5th still haven’t shipped and are supposed to be at my store for pickup Wednesday.
