    Something I just noticed. They reversed the power swords.



    Vintage He-Man, Origins Skeletor, vintage Skeletor.

    Look at the guards on the handles. Origins Skeletor has the guard on the same side as vintage He-Man. Odd change.

    And no the Origins sword will not fit together with the vintage one.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        The design of the Power Sword instantly brought me back to the HG Toys gift set!

          The prototypes of the power sword halves lacked the side guards of the vintage swords. So, I kind of wonder if reversing the swords was a consciousness decision or just an error and we will see a running change eventually.

            There is an amazing level of compatibility between Origins and the vintage line.



            So if you prefer the look of the vintage armor and weapons you can swap them out. The Origins team really went the extra mile.

            [edit]Ha! I just noticed I had just swapped the left and right boots around.

                They're hitting shelves early and it looks like scalpers are getting grabby. Walmart is mishandling this release, no one at my local store knows what is going on....associates cannot even verify products over the phone.
