GeekDadLife's livestream today is claiming many of these will go up for preorder tomorrow.

Also I believe Mossman is still planned to be a Walmart exclusive.

I love that I can recollect what was a big part of my childhood, a little more costly than I remember, but nothing beats it. Now if only the same care can be taken for MASK.

Snake Men bundle is light on accessories. Are those snake-men supposed to just use harsh language? I guess Terroroar and Grasp are further out releases or creations exclusives.

I'm wondering why it looks like there's 5 basic figures, and if there's another weird Duplico situation with one of them.

Snake-Claw Man-At-Arms is kinda meh. No new head. Good for customizers, though.

Wish Spikor had a normal hand option, but he looks good.

They found a way to make Skeletor & Screech more interesting. I still think the retro style birds weren't the way to go, though.

Kinda annoyed a Grizzlor with flocked accessory is a mainline Masterverse release, but the Origins one "had to be exclusive because flocking costs more."

It's odd they'd make Slush Head before a lot of characters.

The origins are just perfect updates of the vintage line. I’m just hoping we get all the vintage released and more vehicles.

Masterverse…. These look way stepped up. The New Adventures is so much better than classics, but it didn’t have to do much to achieve that.

It’s really hard to believe these lines are ending with all of these figures. But that’s just my thought.

I’m sad the CGI toon line looks done. Granted most everything was done. I would have liked Randor, some guards, rampage and Keldor. But still a great showing for a really great toon and fun line.

As for Moss man, see you at Walmart, partner....Hopefully this won't be like the flocked Panthors I never saw EVER. Not that I'd buy that ankle-less travesty. I just want to know why. WHYYYYYY?!?!? XD

Never saw the flocked Panthors? Wow. Fascinating how different people’s experiences are. In my area, Flocked Panthor was a shelf warmer and was clearanced at less than $20.

That's very typical of Walmart "distribution". There are 4 Walmarts in my area, my experience is that when one Walmart gets something, that Walmart gets it ALL, while the other 3 gets none. So I guess it really depends on which Walmart happens to be closer to you.

Crazy, my Walmart had flocked panthor piled up forever, I think there are still some in the clearance section.

So other than exclusives….non of these are going to retail any longer?

I believe he’s going with….this is it, nothing more is being released.

I don’t know, I have hard time believing this is done with that showing. It may be done at retail though?

Hell if I know.

I'm right there with you. Scott is usually on point. More so than alot of these other dudes that present their opinions like a holy writ and any who disagree or attempt to call bs are "haters". The whole video of Scott on Retro Blasting only showed how absolutely delusional French is. It was painful to watch on so many levels.

I'm more or less all in on origins (missing a few power-con exclusives and Eternia) and I see all these reveals and I personally think they are gauging interest in the future of the line.

I see all the snake versions and think ok what's after that? The movie figures, Ok what's after that?

I think at this point there are only around 10 or so main line figures that haven't been revealed and 10 more characters aren't enough to keep a line going. I'm not hoping for the line to end, I just don't see what it can do except re-release all the heavys like Tri-Klops or Randor.

There are a ton of vehicles that haven't been revealed, but I don't see the line going that direction either. Maybe a battle bones...

He said it was done at bricks and mortar retail.

So only wrong so far about the Walmart exclusive Moss Man, as near as I can tell. That said, I'm not following MotU very closely. Are there any others?

This is exactly what he said in his original video. I don't understand how so many people missed it and have been misquoting him.

I don't know if he's right, I just know that he's been misrepresented.

Not enough characters to keep the line going?
They'll just start making Filmation versions, they already had cartoon He-Man in the 4 figure anniversary set. I think a standard release of him and the mains is given if the line continues.

I didn't see flocked Panthor for like 2 years, then 30 of them appeared at Walmart. Seems to happen at Walmart.

THat was alot of good preorders !
Anyone Know where and when Whiplash and Slushhead will be for sale???
There's still plenty of characters that could be made still. Love to see all the characters Mattel's made for Origins be made for masterverse and vice versa.
Wishing Mattel would make -Modulok ,Imp, Shokoti , Scorpia Granamyr .

Supposedly masterverse Whiplash, Slushhead and New Adventures Skeletor are Target exclusives.

The origins “rulers of the sun” 3- pack is a target exclusive and deluxe moss man and duplico are Walmart exclusives.

Snake mountain appears to be everywhere for preorder late April.
