New MOTU Figures Revealed
 
Mattel Reveals New Masters of the Universe Cartoon and Masterverse Figures

The show design looks pretty awful, but the figures look good. I didn't realize they'd do another line since they seem to be hammering the Origins line pretty hard right now. He-Mans head looks a little small/derpy in the pic but it's hard to tell.

Getting a lot of 200X vibes, but the sword looks more traditional. I skipped Origins due to not being able to get the SDCC exclusive set (more like giving me an excuse not to get them) but much more tempted with these guys.

Whoever they get to play Skeletor, he better be a nasally cackler like Alan Oppenheimer.

It's none other than Mark Hamill, I understand. So he we are good on evil cackling I think

deecee4 02-24-2021 11:04 AM

That's an easy pass for me. I think I hate everything about these actually hahaha.

He's doing the Kevin Smith MOTU show. No cast announced for the kids CGI show.

I had forgotten there was going to be two shows, and Smith is probably doing the one with the older demographic. That's a relief, not digging the designs for the kids show.

So, Mattel is doing the Hasbro route with TF, not just toys, but media for different demos.

OriginalFire 02-24-2021 11:16 AM

These figures look weak. They have no muscles.

Correct. The Kevin Smith show, Revelations, is a direct continuation of the Filmation cartoon. I remember hearing the 1st episode acts as a series finale of sorts to the cartoon, and then the show deals with the aftermath of that. We've seen nothing from it yet other than the voice cast.

The 2nd show is an all CGI show geared to young kids.

29yracSrM 02-24-2021 11:35 AM

Maybe a little stylized for my taste, they remind me of the 200X figures, but for me it's okay, I hope don't get disappointed with the QC and distribution of this line, like I got with Origins. 🤞

Oh, there was also a Youtube vid of Kevin Smith doing a reaction to the theme song. It sounds all right, still prefer the broader notes of the F Filmation show.

Battlecat looks good

Love them. Love how different they are and I can see fudging some with classics.

IzzyTipsy 02-24-2021 12:45 PM

That Evil-Lyn figure looks like she belongs in Avatar.

He man looks stoned and evil lynn looks like freakin’ katara with white long hair. Why cant they just make normal, realistic, unstylized figures? Everything has to look like bad bruce timm, ed mcguiness or gendy tartakovsky shit.

AceSimulacrum 02-24-2021 01:24 PM

The figures don't look that good, but this is Mattel we're talking (outside of the occasionally decent WWE figures). If you're going to do it got to up the detail and quality, not digging this particular style. Everyone is bringing back their universes to milk the aging collector.

Dragasses 02-24-2021 01:26 PM

the proportions are definitely off. lots of muscle bound characters/figures/statues have gotten the peanut head treatment lately. If you shaved he-man's head it would be 2/3rds the size of the shoulder joint.

maybe less. 200x had the same problem.

Boogieman4hire 02-24-2021 01:45 PM

Hope I can just put a Classics head on that He-man. I would be putting the helmet head on Evil-lyn anyway and Skeletor is alright. Not mindblowing but good. At the least Battlecat will work great as an alternative to the Classics version which has become pretty expensive on the aftermarket. Now I just need to see how well Moss Man is executed.

Primehunter 02-24-2021 01:52 PM

Passing on these is super easy, barely an inconvenience...

JerpJerp 02-24-2021 02:26 PM

Hmmmm...derpy. Not what I expected at all.

I thought evil Lynn was some male character until I saw the extra head. Looks like Drizzt from D&D.

IzzyTipsy 02-24-2021 02:27 PM

I feel like if I pass on these, it'll be like when I passed on the new She-ra figures from the Netflux cartoon and now they're hundreds of dollars.

captainN 02-24-2021 03:31 PM

I want the armor up he-man & battle cat so much.

GizmoTron 02-24-2021 03:46 PM

I never realized there were going to be two completely different MOTU shows coming to Netflix. I'm fine with the stylistic differences, but I'm not sure how I feel about having two shows going at once. Almost seems like way too much MOTU for it's own good.

EvilMonkeyPope 02-24-2021 03:48 PM

It's infuriating that they half-assed the toylines for the excellent She-Ra reboot but it looks like they're going all in for this.
