Poor likeness of Stallone.

Hope this does not go like Two-Bad.
But that's okay, Mattel's gonna do absolutely nothing for anyone who missed that 5 minute Two-Bad purchase window.

Okay the oversized horde soldier should be at retail as something like THIS would sell.

Another round of MOTU Walmart Collector con exclusives coming 10 AM EDT October 17
TMNT King Hiss and Shredder. Masterverse vintage Skeletor.

Does anyone ever get the stuff they ordered from Walmart? I mean, is it like one in five people 6 months after they preorder?

It's really hard to rationalize anything when the stuff from summer is...who knows where it is? Somehow all the reviewers and aftermarket people got them first.

[Darth Revan]

Vintage Skeletor Is the only figure I want, I do like marvel but certain characters only. The rest of that stuff is plastic ass. Mutated Shredder, Jesus Fucking Christ.... So this is what playmates toys is doing instead of giving us star trek figures that would sell...

[webz]

I keep looking at the toon figures at target and Walmart. They are amazing looking! I just have no more room in my mancave for a new line…

Yeah for almost two years I've never received anything I've pre-ordered offered by Mattel through WalMart. Three separate times, multiple Origins and WWE figures. I've ordered the minute it goes live and nothing. Never had a problem with Hasbro items.

I'll see people eventually find the Origins in stores or through other websites. I've also seen stuff in store that others had cancelled. The WWE figures are even harder to find and I'm still missing some of the recent ones like Bam Bam, Vader, Mr. Perfect, & Andre. I've never seen them in person here. Same thing happened with the Masters of the WWE Universe line.

The last Mattel Items I had luck with were from the March 2023 Collectors Con. Oddly they never charged me for anything I preordered that day and everything shipped. I know some other collectors experienced the same thing.

Fortunately yes. I have gotten 99% of what I ordered from Walmart. The only stuff that gets canceled is certain types of Hot Wheels and luscious fox figures. If McFarlane would release the black tumbler by itself. I would buy it.

Just a friendly reminder that MOTU Origins Rio Blast goes up tomorrow January 21, 2025 9:00 am PT (12 ET) on the Mattel Creations Website. He's only $20 and might sell out quick.

Hell yes. Especially because every other aspect of her is so well done.

The fact that it's 26 minutes since he went live and he's still available.Suggests that there are plenty of them, Unlike the cartoon collection too-bad, Which sold out in like 10 minutes.

I preordered right away at 11:02. then a few minutes later I got an email saying my order is being prepared so Im lucky.

also, wasn't Rio Blast originally supposed to be from the Marshal Bravestarr toyline?

I have no idea, even though I had the Bravestarr figure as a kid.

That's good news! Hopefully everyone that wants one is able to get one. I was only guessing and before posting that I also didn't know the UK had recently opened up their own Mattel Creations site. This will lower some of the previous traffic and purchases from those regions. He was also available on the UK site a few hours earlier than USA, which usually doesn't happen.

I don't believe there were as many units of Two-Bad produced and he was also a Convention Exclusive. No-brainer he was going to sellout quick. I'm not sure but I think the last regular priced release to sell out quickly was Rokkon or Extendar? Demo-Man took a little longer, so maybe they are making more as well? Sy-Klone went fast but he was a Deluxe release.

It's like their motto became ""we could go the easy route and make fans happy but instead we're gonna waste time and resources on this trash." Stop producing shit, stick to re-releasing previously hard to find figures like Tri-Klops and releasing origins Sy-Klone.

They do it with everything else as well... Including phones. For example:- one year you: 'almost' have the perfect phone (except for the fact that the camera is crap). The next year the manufacturers give you a great camera - but take away your earphone jack.

...Windows updates ring any bells? - They fix one thing then mess up something else?

It's too keep them 'relevant' in people's lives.

[Harbinger]

Ill take any of the motu knock off lines like sunman etc as they just make more characters to get.

[firmpulse]

Seems like they wanted a way to work T-Cats into Origins. Collectors will have the ability to make pretty vintage looking T-Cats if they want. But 2 Skell-Ra and you can make both. Pretty cool.
