Title: Mattel "Masters Of The Universe" Lines.
Post by: The Spectre on June 08, 2021, 09:58:36 AM: I am really surprised that we did not have a thread for this long lived line already.

Post by: Tamer on June 09, 2021, 04:33:19 AM: I seriously considered getting the new He-Man stuff. It looked so like it did back in the day, but space and money deterred me. Kinda regretting it though.

Thanks for the info. I put the MOTU themed sightings on the front page.

When I saw He-Man and Battle Cat in what looked to be the same exact packaging I got as a kid I almost filled the cart. I stayed in the toy aisle for quite a few minutes that day. So, I can associate.

Post by: (SID) on June 12, 2021, 01:56:53 AM: As someone whom sold all my vintage he-man figures (not the other stuff like rides & castle grey skull) years ago for $40 I'm hardly regretting it. These new "retro" figures are amazing though. Its like they took everything wrong with the original line but both improved & made it better. The characters actually look like the cartoon, are super articulated and not to mention CUSTOMIZABLE with all the parts interchangeable!

The only reason I've not sunk deep into the line is space / extra cash. Because this line... Unlike Hasbro offerings is wayyyy more reasonable in price. So I've only: He-man, skeletor, prince Adam/sled & cringer... Right now but would welcome the rest especially of the first 14 so characters out (except that she-Ra since it looks.... Not for me).

Post by: Tamer on June 12, 2021, 05:48:19 AM: If I can ever get my extra stuff sold I might pursue this line a bit. Of course getting back my space only to fill it with more stuff seems like I might have a problem? LOL, I am way past that.

Post by: Tamer on July 25, 2021, 05:17:31 AM: I really enjoyed the new Revelations He Man that just aired on Netflix. I am so tempted to start collecting this line. I know I shouldn't though.

Post by: The Spectre on August 31, 2022, 01:50:19 PM: I saw this new Mattel "He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe" (Netflix) set with the Sorceress and the Cosmic Falcon (Zoar). If the falcon was less cartoony, I might have picked this set up. There is a very odd design for the Sorceress figure, in the cartoon, she is a teenager (maybe 16 or 17) and built accordingly (long, slimmer torso and limbs), but the figure is built much more like a much younger tween or teen that still has her "puppy fat", making her look almost nothing like her animation model.

Post by: The Spectre on November 15, 2022, 02:17:03 PM: It is nice to see an actual playset on the shelves again! Most toylines either shy away from playsets or offer some lame approximation of one.

This was spotted at Target in Fairfield and retails for $99.99+tax.

Post by: Tamer on November 16, 2022, 03:58:36 AM: So cool to be a kid nowadays. I so wish I had gotten a Castle like this when I was a kid. I had a lot of He Man AFs, but alas it was too steep. Cool stuff.

Off to the front pages Dan. Thanks for making us aware of it.

Post by: The Spectre on September 26, 2023, 05:38:33 PM: I am digging this "Masters Of The Universe: New Eternia" Whiplash! As you can see in the picture, he towers over a 4" figure and makes for an imposing enemy.

I am not 100% sold on the purple though, I might repaint it bronze or some other color, but I am going to give it a few days and see if it grows on me.

The shield is from some WWE accessory set from years ago but goes very well with Whiplash.

I am debating getting the other 4 that they had at Target for a 6 man squad, but am not sure if I really need more than the 2 I already got tonight (they are pretty big and take up a lot of shelfspace).

Kickstart?

I ordered 1 to make it into an asteroid base for my space pirates :)

Post by: The Spectre on July 10, 2024, 08:28:18 PM: Showing up at Ross for $3.99 each!

I have been wanting those "New Eternia" Skeletor and He-Man and "Revelations" Mer-man for ages, but not at the regular $21.99 retail.

And, of course, I have no Ross stores locally 🙄
