    I'm still a little disappointed that swappable heads and hands aren't the norm, but as long as I can casually find these at retail, I'll probably buy from the Origins line regardless. I think the 15 dollar range is decent, though I still got a friend who thinks that's a rip-off and worth 10 at best when compared to other action figures.

    I felt the same when seeing the WWE/MOTU crossover figures at Walmart in person

    Try buying a two inch tall figure for a minimum of five bucks.

    I see them at WalMart. Usually only one case's worth at a time.

    Come to think about it, I haven't seen the MOTU/WWE at all yet. But then again, my local Wal-Marts suck when it comes to toy distribution compared to other locations. They never have any of the Transformers exclusives (except for the Cassette two-pack, once).

    I still find it impressive that we have seen more concepts WWEternia figures than Classics. Many of which are using pieces that should be on MotU characters eventually.

    Not sure where this should go, so it's close enough to the Origins figures....

    These WWE figures are pretty good as a novelty. I imagine the actual MOTU figures will be kind of a fun novelty too, but nothing I'll use in a lot of pictures or anything.

    Just found Wave 2 last night but found remnants of US version wave 1 so I grabbed those instead.

    Meanwhile, these are pretty fantastic for fans of all the history and prototypes of the line.

    I'm envious. I actually just overpaid for the skull king triple H off ebay, but I want the rest. They aren't anywhere around here.

    Not even sure why I want these so bad as I've actually never even seen wrestling haha. The John Cena and Triple H that came with the ring are a ton of fun though, so I definitely want to add as many of these as I can to the upcoming Origins collection

    I can’t hate these. I started collecting classics in 08 with the first he-man and it was such a fun ride. I sold all of mine, and someday I’ll really regret that I’m sure. But these just look fun. I think I’m totally in now.

    I finally broke down and got one of these. I HAVE to have that Lords of Power set. I can’t wait to see the packaging. This thing’s packaging is beautiful.

    That’s a beautiful looking set. I’m actually more impressed with that than anything else I’ve seen in the line, thus far.
