    Anyone been to the 2 Targets in Evansville, IN today? Was going to stop if they had anything.

    I thought they killed the crossover line.

    My WalMart looks like that. It's all He-Man figures and no vehicles but, yeah.

    I will gladly add a finders fee to the last 7 of the wave and any of the others I posted yesterday that I missed out on.

    I got to admit, 8 waves is far longer than I thought this crossover line would have lasted.

    I finally got Trapjaw at a retail price and I’m so glad!

    I’m still on the hunt for a good full Power Sword. I have the first He Man and Skeletor with the half swords.

    I do like they are still continuing the wrestling figures that use the MOTU style. So even if Honky Tonk Man isn't cosplaying as MOTU guys, he can still hang out with He-Man and fit in.

    Wonder how long before a Vince McMann figure.

    I'm planning on getting anyone from when i watched wrestling.

    Same here. I thoroughly enjoy the concept of crossing over WWE characters with MotU but I'm simply happy that they're not abandoning continued use of the 5.5" Origins form factor for WWE toys. It brings back fond memories of the Hasbro WWF toys of the 90's.

    Favorite figure yet besides Trapjaw. I'm sure Webstor and the hopefully eventual release of Whiplash will probably top them, maybe....

    I know they showed it off at Powercon, but I didn't take a screen shot. It features Zoar pretty prominently though.

    I hope we get a basic Horde trooper.

    Your hope, shared by myself and many others, for a regular Horde Trooper, should be granted in the foreseeable future.

    It's unlikely that Mattel won't produce a retail release of the Horde Trooper. To simply tool the molding for the Power-Con exclusive Troopers would be a waste on Mattel’s part. They would want to squeeze every last dollar from the mold, which requires a market wide retail release.

    So rejoice!

    Eugh. I know Origins is a cheap line and I don’t expect perfection, but that’s an unfortunate paint deco for being so bright and colorful.

    I don’t care about packaging but do have to laugh at how battered it is for being shipped in a box within another box.
