From Roy Juarez on Instagram: "Sneak peek video of the Point Dread and Talon Fighter packaging! Stay tuned to 9 AM PST for an in-depth look of the packaging and artwork! #MastersOfTheUniverse #MOTUOrigins #PointDreadAndTalonFighter #MOTUNewFor23" Via Masters of the Universe Origins Point Dread and Talon Fighter Playset Package Images First Look Kinda weird how there's no real mention of the handle on the Talon Fighter in the box copy, even if it's not actually removable it's still a feature that should be called out. this is nuts! I have to assume whomever is acting as his server admin is incompetent and/or ripping him off. For $13 a month he could be using shared server space that would help him with any db or install issues better than this.
But then you'll miss out on Smitty-Con. It's being held this summer in my backyard. I'll be grilling burgers and brats my daughter will make sides.
Or, and this is not an uncommon thing, a site owner finds the hassle of moving a site from the hosting they've used for years, even decades, too much to deal with, even if in the long run it is the best option.
Mossman box and art. Surprisingly he's not on a standard deluxe card. Roy Juarez on Instagram: "It’s packaging time! Here’s a special preview of the Collectors Edition “flocked” Moss Man packaging exclusively in Walmart. This Heroic Spy & Master of Camouflage has moss-like fur, and smells like pine!

I've been doing this for well over 20 years and hassle or not, it's not worth staying with a bad hosting situation if it's destroying your site by choking off their traffic. It shouldn't take a month of downtime to update or move a site no matter what level of hosting or database work is needed. It's destroying their name and their brand, that's a huge shame. Good catch, the bio text has it but not a call-out, and there's even blank space for it. The original box was very different in shape but had more callouts.
The sticker doesn't show enough of the head for those... eyes? some kind of headgear? to show up anyway, but the face doesn't look like the wolf in the dungeon sticker regardless. It would only really make sense if this was some drastic reimagining of that monster. This looks more like some peaceful forest-dwelling horse-person or something. I would potentially cave if a Gigantisaur was done... dangerous inclusion here.
My face after looking at everything going on in Moss Man's box art: For real though, I hope he's abundant at Walmarts, this toy has an awesome presentation.
Red Shadow!!!! Love when Axel gets to throw his creations into the mix. He’s had a few customs made over the years. This box is more what I like to see, lots of lore characters and potential teases on the box. The Point Dread wasn’t bad but that Skeletor /Screeech felt like a waste. Fetch also did that one solo too, not Axel Also always thought Gigantisaur could be one of the next crowdfund. I mean besides the giants who probably would just be MC exclusives. There’s even the mini comic Sky Tree there. Also the Snake Neptu is a Axel creation. Good to see him use more of more stuff. I do keep a folder of stuff Axel’s done. He really gets MOTU. Kind of crazy to think for this line so far, the Skeletons are truly the only really new character made.
I grabbed these in case they get taken down. Dude just posted on FB about this stuff, an unreleased WWEternia playset seen at Mattel HQ and what appears to be an Origins Fang-Or.
