MOTU Masterverse Wave 2 Images – Teela, Man-At-Arms, Spikor, Beast Man

Teela looks great. Her head isn't tiny like the rest.

According to Walmart listings, the price is 19.97$.

Will there be a toy of this new King Garyskull??
Beast Man fells a bit off to me. But i may get him.
I wish He-Ro would come out soon. He was in an episode. I Hope he comes back in the next half. It was great to see He-Ro make it in to the show. About Time.
I'll Never buy Teela.

In b4 the Teela salt.

As someone who was NOT a fan of this franchise until yesterday... I am absolutely excited about the future of this line.

Teela's figure is excellent!

Hmm, Teela's redesign feels rather plain and uninspired. Comparatively, I really like how they updated Beast Man's design.

I'll stick with Origins.

Made it by two posts!!!
What do you like most?
The giant hands or the tiny head?

Giant hands... obvs.

Pre-ordered Teela and Beast Man. Now thinking about going back for Skelegod and getting future redesign releases. I have sufficient versions of classic designs.

The Spikor and Man-at-Arms look amazing. Beast Man looks great but I'm not a big fan of the design. To be fair I liked the show and the her figure also looks pretty good but I still don't like Teela's design. I think it's the hair that bothers me. It's not tactical, it's stylized and I feel like that hair design is being used as a shorthand for that "I'm a tough girl" thing. I think something that would make more sense stylistically would be something like a bob. Militaristic, easy to cut and maintain, and doesn't get in the way.

I can't believe this show was this damn bad. Killed me wanting any of these figures.

Will people still want these who are fans of the original show. The new show doesn't seem that popular. Kevin Smith should not get all the blame. It's Mattel's fault also. This will be the second revival and if it fails don't know if there will be a third. The comic wasn't that good either. Kevin Smith hasn't done anything good in a long time. I never liked his stuff.

Just the overall design. I like that it's different but it's still very exagerrated which lends well to a toy. With Teela, I just think the colors look really dull and muted. The outfit seems to aim more for function over form but then you get the super stylized hair which just clashes with that concept. I also don't like the more sci-fi technological weapons but that could be a show thing. I haven't really seen the show to judge how I feel about the story though, so I'm mainly going off of toy designs.

I never had that big of a problem with the proportions since it seemed to be more of a stylization thing from what I gathered.

Having seen the show now I'm all in on this line. Loved the show, love the redesigns. I'd have preferred Stinkor to Merman to Spikor for this wave though.
Hopefully next wave will have Andra and Roboto so we can finish the main group.

My brother and I are and we've been buying them.

I'm a fan of the original show, and grew up with it. I've been doing a re-watch recently (only finished episode 10 recently). I am going to give it a chance.

However, I am torn on it. This is a serialized show, not episodic, which means we need character development, and they want it to feel like there are real stakes, but DAMMIT this getting a little too Transformers: the Movie.

I finished Revelation Part 1 tonight. Overall, I thought it was decent. The only thing I didn't enjoy was episode 4 when they went to Subternia and had the hallucination/dream sequences.

As for Wave 2, I'm really digging the classic Man-At-Arms. His redesign after the time jump was rather boring. Beast Man and Teela look good. However, I'm not familiar with Spikor so I'm not particularly excited for him.

As for Revelation figures I'd like to see in future waves:
Adam
Classic Teela
Classic Evil-Lyn
King Grayskull
Vikor
Mer-Man
Andra

Ah yes, Spikor. Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film. (Seriously, he appears for a few seconds as a disguised Skeletor).
Given how they are making toys for characters like Moss Man who appear for literally a few seconds, I wonder if Mattel just wants to quickly get these sold before the fans watch the show and realize how little it has to do with classic MOTU.

Mattel is to blame about as much as Hasbro is for the War for Cybertron show -they basically threw the franchise as Netflix and let them do whatever they want with it, thinking it will bring them marketing. Except in this case, it will bring them negative marketing.
I am not saying the toys are bad - nope, they are really good - but I am voting with my wallet and not buying a single one. I'll start collecting the 2002 show toyline instead. The new show has great animation and designs, and terrible writing that pushes an agenda that we have seen with the Last Jedi or She-Ra already. Except with She-Ra Mattel just told Netflix "nope we are not investing in a toyline for that" - however MOTU is their cash cow, they had to invest.
I can predict already that the shelves will be clogged with Revelation Andra and Teela toys...

Frankly, I think if you hate the show and what agenda it pushes, vote with your wallet, don't buy the toys. Given that Netflix never releases viewer ratio for episodes and shows, that's the only way we can let Mattel know what they did to He-Man and Teela and all these characters was NOT ok. Trust me they will get the message. Mandalorian, Clone Wars revival or Bad Batch happened because Hasbro told Disney about the lack of sales for the new Star Wars products from the new Disney-verse.

It's not really an update. They basically used the 2002 show's more bestial and large design, and removed his face paint.

Really hoping for the entire crew from episode 5 at some point. They had some fantastic designs. Especially king grayskull

I wasn't interested before, but now I'm genuinely curious what's going on with this show! What are they pushing?

Nothing. Teela is just the main protagonist of the show (so far), that's all. That rubs some people the wrong way I guess.

I watched the show, its fine. Worth watching for the Scareglow appearance alone IMO, they did well with him. Pretty sure I know what the retail release of him will look like now too.

Love that lesbian Teela.

Ah, thanks, of course. I actually kind of feel stupid now for not getting that from context. I must be super rusty!

Nobody understands that Filmation is to blame here.

MOTU has always been about Skeletor trying to gain access to Castle Grayskull. In the original story there were 2 halves of the Sword Of Power, whoever gets both halves can unlock Castle Grayskull. Which means if Skeletor gets both halves, He-Man can still fight him. Do you see the problem yet?

Filmation changed that. They created Prince Adam. So now if Skeletor ever gets the Sword Of Power & uses it, there is no He-Man. Now that Skeletor has used the sword & became Skelegod who the hell can stop him? So basically in the Filmation version, Skeletor can never ever gain the power of Grayskull, which completely goes against what the entire franchise has always been about.

I love this new show because after waiting almost 40 years they finally gave Skeletor his victory. He finally got the sword & the power of Grayskull. This is the show I've always wanted. I haven't been into MOTU since they ruined the 2002 series with those stupid mini statues. Revelation sucked me back in. But all the fans + Outrage & Cancel Culture are going to destroy it.

With Skeletor possessing the sword, there can be no He-Man. Now do you understand how Filmation screwed everything up by making stupid unnecessary changes?

This is really depressing because I can look forward & see how awesome this series could be. Skeletor is in control for a while & transforms Eternia into an evil hellscape. Then He-Man returns somehow & defeats Skeletor in a totally epic battle. But the fans just won't allow it. They're not willing to even give it a chance.

Outrage & Cancel Culture cannot be stopped.

Spikor is my #1 favorite MOTU character so I'm absolutely thrilled we are getting him so early. But I just hope the line lasts long enough to get my other favorite characters Stinkor & Clawful. I think a listing for Stinkor has been found in the computers. I just hope Mattel doesn't cancel the line.
