Last Saturday I was on Amazon looking at the Origins figures and lamenting quietly to myself about the scalper prices ... and saw that Orko was being offered for under $15 by Amazon Warehouse, used - very good, "Packaging will be damaged" I'm expecting it's someone's return because of how Amazon has been stuffing these into boxes. I don't care about packaging that much, so we'll see how that goes! It finally shipped on Friday, supposedly arriving Wednesday.
With about thirty bucks in materials and a few days time, you could make your own. Foam sheet, hot glue, Halloween decoration skull... a lot of paint. You could do it.
Does it have the original integrated in it? I never had the original. After making the diorama for the Origins commercials I know I could build up and around it. Pic attached if you haven’t seen it. I’m going to look on ebay and see what I can find.
Standard Beast Man is $14.99 on Amazon right now in case anyone still needs one. Not in stock but expected in a few weeks.
Where do recommend shopping for Origins figures? I've bassically been hitting BBTS for the two (soon to be three) that I own, and it seems unless you check regularly and are ready to pounce, things vanish as quick as they go up. Also, is this one of those 'if you didn't get the first run then too bad' lines, or is Mattle doing more than one 'print' of a given character?
Picked up the Land Shark and I didn’t realised that the two guns are different from the vintage. Tbh I prefer the latter as the Origins version’s looks “cheesy”…with the shark motif but my younger kids love it. My younger boy is using the vehicle to “chow” down on his sisters’ dolls! LOL! Hopefully, we get a restock in my part of the world. I’m hoping to pick 1 up as a spare as the shoulder armor are easily lost.
I've regularly checked BBTS too. There's not a lot else to do about it for me, because I don't think the toyline has shown up in the country at all. I think they've made more batches of at least a wave or two but I don't know to what degree they are going to continue doing that. Speaking of BBTS, it looks like they've got an extra pile of LOP Mer-Man now. Collector or substandard grade only, so 20 or 17 bucks for you, but there seems to be a lot of them. Actually there are a few characters where it seems like BBTS just has a crapload of them for some reason, despite not having that many for the rest of their wave. I guess they just get whatever they get from the factory? These are after all weird times for production and if what the factory actually can ship is "three hundred Mer-Man" then that's what you gotta sell people on.
Amazon has been a good source to find figures at retail price, with free shipping to boot (Prime or over $25). And we're over a year into Origins and you can still find the first couple waves at retail there. Keep checking this page daily, and look for the "other sellers" option where it seems the Amazon price likes to hide: Amazon.com : masters of the universe origins I was able to get all of the harder to find figures this way.
Mattel has been offering solid cases of individual figures for a while now, such as the Ninjor case Walmart once shipped an order of mine in.
Makes sense enough, it's after all how the toys are made. Also explains how BBTS can have so many Evil-Lyn with bad packaging.
So He-Man.org has some interesting things list for wave 8? He-Man.org > Toys > Masters of the Universe - Origins Not sure what their source is, and they don't do so good with answering questions over there so I thought I'd ask here.
These were previously reported. A listing leak from a website. Lemme see if I can find the toynewsi article about it. Edit: New Masters Of The Universe Origns And Masterverse Listings Reveal Possible New Figures
He-Man.org’s also not entirely accurate as it doesn’t include the standard wave 7 that already went up for preorder, which includes Buzz-Off and Sorceress.
I noticed that too. I can believe that they have not updated with the latest from BBTS. What really hard to believe is Sunman. I would love to see it happen but I'm just not sure.
Bad news for any Powercon Exclusives, they’re saying that the shipping pileups and delay’s mean that they won’t be available for the actual Con. Anyone worried about that charge on your card this month can breathe in relief
