Fortunately since every single copy of every figure I've seen on shelves or shipped is totally trashed you'll have some wiggle room on price. Also I sort of hope Mattel might surprise us and give us a few 200X variants. A new 200X Teela is long overdue and I would definitely like an Evil Lyn that isn't yellow.
Didn't notice this before but it's releasing next month. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wwe-Motu-Ring-Bundle-Snake-Mountain/741504997
I'd like a Teela with her hair down. I've had that on preorder for a while now. It on delay number two.
Fun fact, and this might have a connection to our interest in PAWGs, the animators at Filmation used the rotoscope technique to animate the human characters, meaning Teela, Evil-Lyn and She-Ra are all based on a real woman, or women.
Filmation was one of the last studios to move production to Asia. It was a creative way to try to cut costs before taking the easy way out.
Paid another visit to my local Wally World. They had just TWO He-Man on six empty pegs. But at the bottom of the shelf something I’ve never seen here...two Battlecats. I nabbed one of em.
If 3rd quarter earnings are anything to go by, it looks like we will certainly be getting more He-Man figures in the future. Sales were up 13% in North America largely due to the performance of Barbie and the Masters of the Universe lines. It certainly looks like someone is buying them. ....even if I can't find a Beastman to save my life.
Happened upon a Skysled set today while hunting Black Series. She's definitely an opener as the box was semi destroyed.
I should have hit two weeks ago. I think right now our best bet is not wait for next year when Target and BBTS start selling them.
Do we know if these other retailers will carry wave 1? If so, I'd rather wait to get Evil-Lyn and Beastman from them. Walmart's distribution on this line has been stupid.
We don't know, but it would be really stupid for them to start with wave two or three. In the meantime here is an amazon listing doe Beastman. https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Universe-Storytelling-10-Year-Olds-Collectors/dp/B08973QD7K/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1NGESH4RHWKG2&dchild=1&keywords=masters+of+the+universe+origins&qid=1603805221&sprefix=masters+of+the+uni,aps,220&sr=8-2 And here is Wlamatr's listing for both of them... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Masters-...-007-1756a41f334f0d&athancid=null&athena=true https://www.walmart.com/ip/Masters-...-006-1756a423b40746&athancid=null&athena=true
Supposedly they were only supposed to be a timed exclusive, like when Walmart or Target got DC Superhero Girls six months before everybody else, but who knows what changes will happen with kung flu as the go-to excuse for everything now. Ordering them from the Walmart site seems to be relatively safe(ish) if you're not planning to keep the package.
I just walked into my local store and there was a Lyn on the peg...no Beastman, though. I've been piecing these fuckers together...can't wait to just be able to PO a whole wave all at once on BBTS...
