    Mattel offers solid cases of Skeletor and He-Man, so wouldn't worry yet unless your Walmart keeps ordering nothing but him.

    Really wish they would not have done that. All the Walmarts near me have pegs full of just those two. I'm glad I got the others when I did. I do worry about getting wave two.

    I’m pretty sure that most Walmart’s just order in bulk at the beginning of a toy line so they don’t have to restock any time soon.

    Hey thanks. Wow they dwarf the opening. That new CG looks to be the same or similar size so it would be the same. Any pics of the MOTUC castle with them? I remember the contention during the pre order period which the fix they did cuts a bit close. Since Origins is a little shorter I’m hoping it looks good.

    Hit Wally before 10 last night, nothing of course but there were 4 cases of MOTUWWE. Opened 2 and it’s wave 2!!!! I was gonna leave but said fuck it and opened the other 2 and 1 was wave 3. Of course it’s the most damaged box but I’m gonna open anyway. Dude marked it down to $12 for me due to the condition.

    Nice score! Watch out for his weapon though, I guess it's pretty flimsy despite being the same mold as Scareglow's

    Funny story they had to make it bigger before they started final production back in the 80's. You should check out "The Toys that Made Us" on Netflix, the episode on MOTU is full of funny stories and lots of dick measuring.

    Was Triple HHH repacked in later MOTU WWE waves and does anyone know the casepacks for MOTU Origins? I’ve only seen Heman, Skeletor and Battle Cat so far.

    No there’s only 1 of each per 4 figure wave and so far it’s been new characters per wave.

    Origins is also 4 figure cases with 3 skus, He-Man, Skelly and Assorted. The first Asst wave is MAA, Beastman, Teela & Evil Lyn. Wave 2 is MEF, Orko, Scareglow and Trap Jaw. It’s not a bad idea considering if the 2 mains back up at least the assorted figures get ordered. Foreign distribution gets weird though. There was a wave 1.5 with HM, Skelly, Orko and Scareglow.

    I see capeless Randor.

    Looks like I'm getting this wave too.

    I have her po'd at BBTS. What are the differences beside the card? If it's just that I'll cancel but if she has rooted hair then I'll keep her and get the mass release too.

    I've been trying to find out the differences myself. It could be the hair or the color of the weapons. If retail She-Ra has rooted hair she needs the ax-comb.

    Same here.

    This picture makes it appear that she does have rooted hair.

    I picked up the rest of the Wave 1 single-carded figures. I've seen Battle Cat a couple times, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I haven't seen the Sky Sled/Prince Adam set at all.
