    Looking fantastic!

    Don't get me wrong, I love what Mattel has been doing with Origins but I would love to see something more in this vein in the official product.

    It's time!
    It's time!
    It's Vader time!

    I hope that Mattel will tool a chonky torso for heavy set wrestlers like Vader and, more importantly, Dusty Rhodes, should they show up in the MotWWEU toy line.

    Thank you to whoever canceled their order cause I was able to PO Origins Wave 2.

    Also, in the last 24 hours, I have:

    PO'ed:
    Origins Wave 2
    Buzz Saw Hordak
    Castle Grayskull
    Faker
    Eternia Gaurd x2

    Bought:
    LOP Merman
    Evil-Lyn 2
    Fisto
    Man-At-Arms

    As of right now, I plan on also grabbing the vehicles after I finish saving up money for NYCC and TFcon, those being the Landshark, Windraider, and grab Sky Sled on Clearance. On my list still Triklops, Teela, Beastman, Keldor, Ninjor, Roboto, and She-ra

    It is, without a doubt, the superior Mer-Man. Don't get me wrong, I like having the vintage toy Mer-Man, but the LoP is just so much cooler.

    The armor is definatly cooler which helps... But its all in the head man.

    He actually looks like a fish! When I hear about an Ocean Warlord, I am kinda expecting someone who looks very fishy like 200X and LOP did.

    Seriously. The vintage headsculpt is just odd on Mer-Man. It suits Stinkor much better imo

    Keep us posted. I saw this advertisement in the last 4 days myself purely by chance. It's the first thing that came to my mind after reading the initial post about a Sun Man listing. The timing....


    Edit: I just noticed she is being described as President of Olmec Toys and not former president / former owner. Interesting ...

    since BA He-Man didn't come with vacmetal armour due to cost reasons, I would assume that Jitsu won't either. perhaps you could put your faith in that Jitsu would need a lot less of it. maybe some kind of exclusive or limited set in the future?

    I’m sure people that prefer it exist in the wider fandom since I’ve never paid it much attention but it is funny how “everyone” seems to overwhelmingly prefer anything to that weird vintage toy head.

    I hope that she speaks of Sun-Man's listing as a pre order Origins toy. Maybe a deal has been struck with Mattel?
