I own every Origins figure and have 50+ figures now including 5 Skeletors. The only figure I sometimes have issues with standing up is Webstor and that is due to his large backpack. All other figures they stand up fine on their own. Sounds like you got a bum Skeletor and its bad luck for you. I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with their Origins Skeletor either.

 

lve had a couple that if I didn’t pose them right they would fall over but that was more down to me being clumsy than a defect with the toy.

 

Yeah I think you just had bad luck with joint quality there. Admittedly I don't have Skeletor, specifically, but none of my figures have a real problem standing up. You can probably fix it by applying a little bit of floor polish, though.

 

Here's a crappy picture of the vintage figure with the armor.

 

Any idea what is in this box? I know what the minis are but not what this set may be.

 

Slime Pit multipack

 

So I bought three Castle Grayskulls for a proper castle for the Masters of the universe. Awesomeness!!! They are showing up at Targets in my area NH.

Plus I did something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I've always wanted to be able to get a big playset with figures for Toys for Tots. So I bought the remaining two Castle Grayskulls to complete a double set for Toy's for Tots and another kid. I am so psyched to have my job to do this!!

 

Thanks.

I wasn't sure what might be in there. Ross has 3 sets. I am passing unless someone here wants one. Let me know fairly quickly though because I am about out of this store

 

Something is so wrong about the right side of that set.  

 

Ya know...
I read this COMPLETELY wrong...
For some reason, my mind saw "why don't I have any revelations figures yet?"

Sorry for the stupidity... 

 

Just scored an Eternian Guard at a local collectors store. My daughter named him Tim. I'll post some pictures some time tomorrow.

 

I want them to release the entire weapons pack just like the vintage. But PLEASE keep yellow accurate Beastman armor. I like Classics’ brown but not for Origins.

 

I just don't see them doing a weapons pack outside of a convention. I would love to be wrong but I just don't see it happening.

Now I could see them sprinkling those weapons in as extras with different figures, vehicles or play sets.

 

Why don't we see more weapons packs in general? Back in the day MotU had one, GI Joe had several, Air Raiders had one I think...
But now if you lose a weapon or the figure comes with something garbage that barely passes for a weapon (looking at you ER Sunstreaker) you are out of luck or have to re-buy the figu---oh.

 

Yeah, sounds like bum joints. I’d swap him out if you can. Overall I’m pretty pleased with the Origins figures I’ve gotten. The only issues have been loose-ish shin swivels on a couple of them…but not so loose that they cause problems.

 

I got the new Man At Arms to repurpose him as a robot Guard. Like the Robot prison Guards in the 200X episode "The Council of Evil Part 1".


As for Man At Arms weapon, It dose look better as a chandelier.

 

BBTS delivery. His mug still cracks me up to this day.

 

The Classics version is my favorite headsculpt in the line.

 

^Wicked!

 

I've had a couple with loose knees that had a hard time standing. I think BA Skeletor and He-man. I use stands for them anyway so its not a big deal but I can see why some folks might have issues.
