Fan favorite rerelease that I got in the mail yesterday. Pre-ordered it last month from bigbadtoystore

[deecee4]

Nice. I have mine in my POL. That'll finish off my Origins collection.

[WallySparks]

anyone happen to know what the next Mattel Creations Masters of the Universe Origins exclusive figure is next that's supposed to be coming soon or no news yet?

[firmpulse]

Not sure but I just read Mantenna and Hordak Coming To MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection.

Y'all do Masterverse? I cherry pick New Eternia. I LOVE this new Sy-Klone figure. Never even been that much of a fan of the character. But, this figure is incredible. It isn't fancy it's just sincredibly well done. When this thing sells out I think it may be one of the more expensive figures in the line. The last few entries in the NE segment have been real bangers.

I checked my Fed ex delivery status for Origins Extendar, its supposed to be arriving today or tomorrow.

Geldor and Demo-Man are coming this year.

I guess Night Stalker, too. They haven't mentioned that since last year, IIRC.

Just arrived a few minutes ago

That does look really good! The face shield thing reminds of Crimson Dynamo a little too.
I also think the skeletor throne set looks incredible.

Yes dude! THAT'S who it reminds me of. I was racking my brain.

I feel like he needs a sword. Gold blade, blue hilt with red details.

Looks like MOTU Nightstalker is launching Tuesday June 18

Here's when we pay twice retail for something that would still be on closeout if it had been a mass release.

I hope Night Stalker is not too much. I've never picked up Origins Stridor. I understand it's much better than vintage, but the lameness of vintage Stridor lingers in my mind.

[predaking000]

The article says "reworked." Isn't it just a straight-up repaint?

[Nathaniel]

I like them totally

No Jitsu on box art. His punishment for pegwarming.

Somehow no new Snakemen were teased on the artwork. I know it's not a Snakemen item, but it's just expected now they'll keep teasing new Snakemen.

[ghostbogey]

MOTU Night Stalker...
Not bad...

Love the "Box" tho...
and that "Box Art"...
Nice....Real Nice ;^)

[WallySparks]

so, are the scalpers/hoarders too busy today to not buy a purple mechanical horse on the Mattel Creations website?

those scalpers/hoarders usually buy up multiples of MOTU Origins like crazy in an instant like they did with Rokkon

[deecee4]

I suppose, with Stridor being marked down everywhere, theres a perceived undesirable status for this right out the gate.

[Darth Revan]

Stridor's MSRP is 35.99, Nightstalker is barely cheaper. I have.
The original Stridor but haven't opened him yet.

Yeah or 2021 Tri-Klops because it's "rare", I think Mattel and Hasbro have bad distribution on purpose, It's been going on for decades and they clearly have no interest in fixing it. Logically that appears intentional. Mattel and Hasbro should hire me, I'd fix that distribution problem easily. Products in the customers hands, money in the company's pocket, everyone's happy.

Jitsu was probably peg warming because he didn't get enough promotion because they were afraid that something wasn't happening. The jitsu/chopper article says the company was afraid of him being a "racial stereotype" puhleaze, All he has to do is be a well promoted cool figure and people will buy him regardless of appearance.

[deecee4]

Jitsu pegwarmed because he was in the wave that had naked Stratos, the biggest dud in the Origins line.

Wow. Still available. 6 hours later.

Yet someone will still say "I MISSED OUT!!!"

And the rest of us will bite our tongues wondering why someone so devoted didn't mark their calendar or check message boards.

I could only justify one. Two gets up to $80, three past $100 (which is nothing for a lot of people these days).

No company would intentionally have bad distribution. I honestly doubt you alone could fix whatever issues they’re having. I work in the logistics field and I’ll tell you right now it’s not nearly as easy of an issue to fix as you seem to think.

So what you're telling me is, 'You' can't fix it, gotcha. Companies do stuff like that all of the time, General Motors for example has carte blanche to dick around all they want yet get bailed out when they draw the FAFO Monopoly card. I bet Tri-Klops getting re-release caused a lot of scalper tears, and I'm enjoying it.

I'm starting to wonder if those people crying on twitter are just shitposting, Some of the items they say they have missed were there for long enough for them to get one or more but somehow they missed out anyway.
