    Man-E-Faces really would make for a decent astronaut figure. human face, helmet shield, skull face. black, ghostly grey and white with some copper details.


    an undead theme with a bat face, a ghost and a skeleton robot would also be nice.

    As I am currently very pleased with the new MotU cartoon on Netflix, I'm hoping it performs well enough to prompt Mattel to have the main cast of heroes and villains make an appearance in the Origins line, specifically in their Masters and Dark Masters forms, though I'd love to see Kronis in Origins toy form as well. He-Man would require a larger buck, though the mold for upcoming MotWWEU Andre the Giant may be suitable.

    Although I liked the trailer I initially had no plans of watching the new series as I have no plans on buying any MOTU product outside of Origins and perhaps Mega Construx ( if they ever release characters I'm interested in).

    Now...I'm thinking I'll watch at least 1 episode.

    I gave episode one a watch. Not my thing at all. I’m sure the story is fun but its the visual aspect- its all way too busy and techy for my tastes and the whole thing kinda gives me anxiety in a weird way - like my feeble old mind can’t figure out what it’s looking at, haha. I hope it does well though, more MOTU is always good.

    Finally found a Buzzsaw Hordak today. That buzzsaw really launches far!

    If you aren't strongly opposed to its art direction/aesthetics and you accept that this is a new iteration of MotU with no need to adhere to previous continuities, you should be able to appreciate what the new cartoon is putting onto the table. You may only watch 1 episode and stop at that because it's not a show for your sensibilities but it shouldn't offend you or make you feel like you wasted your time.

    Take it from me, the aesthetics were the primary thing that gave me reservations but once I started watching the show, I quickly could buy into the world, the characters, the plot, and the art direction makes sense to me in hindsight and serves its role well as the visual component of the story. I don't know if the same story could work as well with a more edgy or mature art styling.

    That's a nice way to remember Chyna. Also a big LOL at Steve Austin.

    None of my walmarts have any of the wwe motu on the shelves anymore at all. I know the line is coming to an end but did they stop carrying them already? I thought there was at least 1 or 2 waves left since slaughter was said to be coming.

    Yes.
    There are two wave of figures the one pictured above is the last wave. There should have been a wave with Sergeant Slaughter, Junkyard Dog, Andre the Giant and one more I can't remember.

    Wait wut. This is a shock, seeing as how the Andre wave was supposed to release in October... I'd pay you for a Steve Austin if you could get another.

    Any ideas when BBTS might get the powercon figures in. I’m hoping it’s not for another week or so just in case I don’t have enough saved up.

    Not sure about BBTS but when I ordered the Power Con exclusives from Mattel this Monday the estimated delivery date for Horde Pack and Leo Faker + Dupli-cat was on or before November 16. The estimated delivery date for the Castle Grayskull pack was on or before December 16.

    Assuming that all the inventory is on the same boat, you are looking between 2-3 more months before delivery.

    I almost never see them in-store either. There’s a location down in Tennessee that Imget to visit once every few months that is always packed to the gills with them…but they’re all from several waves back.
