I always wanted the vintage figures to have more articulation and be more poseable, and now they are, plus their accessories are top notch. These figures are how I wanted He-Man and crew to be when I was a kid, and what I wished MOTUC was like when they debuted.

I'm heavily considering selling my entire MOTUC collection then start over collecting this Origins series. Sadly and regrettably I got rid of my childhood MOTU figures (except my OG He-Man) because I hadn't touched them in about two decades and they were just taking up valuable storage space. Kicking myself for doing that because these new figures would fit in perfectly with my old stuff and I could put the old and new ones together on a shelf.

I'm conflicted though, because even if I get the vintage figures I had as a kid, they wouldn't be MY MOTU figures, ya know?

They do play perfectly with vintage figures. I own a ton of MOTUC, but my SDCC MOTU Origins figure is my favorite MOTU figure I own. So this is like a dream line for me. And the fact that it "plays" with the vintage stuff is a fun bonus. I have a feeling Mattel is going to start cranking out new playsets and stuff too.

Same size as the smaller ones released later.

Again, these are supposed to retail for $5, which makes them pretty darn affordable even at a blind box level.
