    If they keep the aesthetic similar with the vehicles in Masterverse there is also the cross benefit of having them work with Classics. Heck for some they could just re-release the Classics vehicle. Even if you may not like the look of the Revelations figures, the vehicles could be a draw. Still want troop building two packs of Sky sleds, one with a griffin head the other a snake head and flight stands.

    can't wait to see Masterverse NEW Netflix He-Man and She-Ra

    also I agree with the speculation that the other deluxe is probably reborn He-Man!

    Here's hoping we get vehicles from Revelation before Masterverse moves on from the show. The Roton for sure would be excellent. I'd also love to see Bashasaurus.

    Funny enough the New Eternia Skeletor looks a lot like his mythic legions 'homage' in terms of head sculpt.

    Yeah, right?

    The New Eternia Skeletor is easily my most anticipated upcoming Masterverse toy. I love the incorporation of some of Mark Taylor's early Skeletor concept art elements like the greaves from one sketch and the curved sword from another:

    I wish the crown helmet design made it in as an alternate head sculpt.

    looks like what we are getting is a bit of a compromise as the head also has a crown crest element to it.

    As much as I'd like to see more fidelity to certain visual sources, I have to also recognize that Mattel clearly stated that New Eternia products are "original character designs inspired by classic MOTU concepts." so these toys will have relation to various character designs but won't draw directly from any single source. I love it, actually. And since I am working on 3D printed alternate parts and accessories for toys, primarily Masterverse, Origins, and Classics lines, I can always make my own Skeletor crown helmet head sculpt!

    This design is epic.

    Easily my favorite piece of MOTU concept art. I cannot believe we haven’t had a faithful reproduction. The mummy wraps, the fantastic crown, the high-collar, the scimitar. And that emaciated face...perfection. Even the colors. It’s just. I love it. The new Skeletor looks good, almost like a Roman centurion but this deserves its own figure. It should just be a separate character rather than Skeletor.

    Yeah, Mark Taylor's concept work is awesome. I love the gritty aesthetics and the classic pulp fantasy elements. Hopefully we'll see this design show up in toy form someday.

    So can Triklops be displayed in his classic gear? I only saw the photo of him in his robes and have no desire to display him that way. Triklops is the only motu I collect and I'd love to have a taller version of him but want that classic look.

    These new figs look good but can we get one revelation He-Man with the correct paint apps and a non goofy, smiley face? All they have to do is correct the paint on the belt and bracelets on the current fig and use the extra He-Man face from The Faker figure but with blue eyes instead of red and bingo! Come on Mattel, make it happen!

    Yes, it looks like both Trap Jaw and Tri-klops can switch their looks. Which means I will be double dipping.
