Masters Of The Universe Origins

[Falling Downer]

I need Spikor, Two Bad, Sy-Klone, Modulok and yes, even Dragon Blaster Skeletor before this lie ends.

I'm gonna need you to add Extendar to that list or we can't be Best Friends anymore.

LOL. I will absolutely advocate for Extendar.

I have a special love for that guy because somehow, as a kid, I never knew of his existence. Maybe I was too into G.I. Joe or Transformers at the time, but I never saw or had heard of him until I got into Classics and saw the name popping up on people's wish lists. To me, he's like some kind of undiscovered vintage gem. Gotta have him.

Frankly, I'd prefer just regular snake men army builders than the either horde or palace guard ones

Yeah, me too. I'd want them to have some parts not used for existing characters (like I wouldn't want just a straight re-painted Rattlor that was supposed to be a different character), but if they mixed some parts and colors around, that would be my ideal scenario. Bonus points for an original head or two.

If only my local Ollie's had this selection. It was all Panthors, Battle Cats, and Wind Raiders.

So this place is called Treasures for Less. They write the price on the box of the items with marker. But the figures he grabbed me didn’t have it written on those particular boxes except for the Luthor and Mirrorverse Mickey he also grabbed. So the cashier scanned the MOTU stuff and somehow calculated those prices. Stridor was supposed to be $20 and $30 for the Battle Cat pack. How she calculated $6 and $10 we have no idea. Anyone in Houston just know they have two locations.

I haven't heard of this store (I'm in Houston, on the Northwest side). Where are they located?

303 Wells Fargo Dr ste b7-11, Houston, TX 77090

That’s the one he went to and the closest to me. I’m gonna try to swing by this weekend if possible. Wonder if he missed anything else. If you go he said the building is surrounded by an iron fence, the parking and entrance are in the back of the building.

14041 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77077

Is the second location

Thanks! I'll definitely have to check this place out!

TNI reports the following upcoming Origins toys. We've already known about a few of these.

- Point Dread and Talon Fighter Vehicle
- 200x King Randor
- Snake Teela
- Snake Trooper
- Serpent Claw Man at Arms
- Eternian Guard Infiltrator
- Squeeze
- Spikor
- Deluxe Dragon Blast Skeletor
- Deluxe Snake Face
- Snake Man-E-Faces
- Duplicator

The Eternian Guard Infiltrator may have been the Eternian Guard Snakeman which was reportedly shown off. So maybe the Snake Trooper is something different, and hopefully more along the lines of the Classics Snake Trooper.

Looking forward to Squeeze and whatever other Snakemen they make.

[Super Camel]

Thats a pretty good list. It also adds two more characters from the vintage MOTU figure lineup. Bringing our total now to 6 figures coming out of the 22 needed to complete the vintage lines figure assortment.

So, with Dragon Blaster Skeletor, Spikor, Squeeze, Snake Face, Tung Lashor, and Moss Man coming, we only have 16 more to go.

[Jase]

Flocked Panthor is down to $17 at Walmart now. Grabbed one and will return the one I bought for $29 last week!

[KnightDamien]

Sssqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!

[mattmurdog]

Now the question is will any of these actually hit retail or was ToyGuru right all along that they are going to die out at retail? Given that I haven't seen anything beyond Mechaneck I am very worried for the rest of these every hitting ANY retailers brick or online.

EE also recently cancelled my Mantanna that I pre-ordered from them nearly a year ago citing that it has been discontinued.

[Valo487]

Now the question is will any of these actually hit retail or was ToyGuru right all along?

No. He’s been calling it a day for the line for around two years now. Eventually when the line does end I’m sure he’ll proclaim that he called it and we all should have listened to him, but he’s exposed that he has an agenda for whatever reason, so I encourage you to ignore anything he says. He could show up with wet clothes and tell me it’s raining outside and I’m still going to look for myself.

But all of these listings showing up online, as well as the reports of new things being shown at overseas Toyfairs should demonstrate that the line is doing well from a financial perspective, as well as them doing second runs on early waves to try to get those characters back into the hands of new collectors, shipping to retail is still a mess right now. People who follow the 4 inch Fortnite line can tell you that there have been multiple waves of product leaked out from overseas that have yet to show up in America, and it’s not because the line is in trouble, the pegs were cleaned out over the holidays, but getting them into the store is clearly a more difficult task than was pre-pandemic, even after this much time has passed. I can go into my local Target and find a couple from the Jitsu wave, but every time they’ve gotten newer product in it sells and sells quickly. They got a floor display of the Trap-Jaw reissue wave with four of each figure and it was gone within a week. So I wouldn’t worry about the line’s health, but it might be worth it for you personally to look into ordering online to save yourself the unpredictability of retail.

No, he said MOTU would end at Retail in 2023. And yes, at this point I've just been pre-ordering online. But as I said in my above comment... EE literally just cancelled my pre-order. So what am I going to do now?

Actually, went and ordered on BBTS but it's no longer the US version. So there's now a blemish in my MOC collection.
