Pics of my MOTU Origins collection as it grows...
Nothing fancy, just nice clear pics that show off the beautiful sculpts and bold colors.

These toys make me feel 40 years younger!

Wonderful photography as usual.

I prefer these over Classics. The style, sculpts, quality and feel scream MOTU to me in a way Classics never did. It's been frustrating how hard these have been to get. Origins are not just collectibles for adults, like MOTUC, they are really fun toys and I hope these end up in the hands of children to play with.

^Thanks! And I agree on all counts!

From what I've seen, kids ARE getting these and loving them! Walmart has begun a massive rollout...somebody snapped a pic of this retail display in Texas!

Yay!! I found exactly one He-Man figure at my local Walmart today!!!! Their website said there were two available at my area store, but I had to search for it when I got there because he wasn't on one of the pegs. Couldn't find the end cap display either. In fact, many of the pegs and shelves in the toy aisle were bare and empty (Of course, the Barbie section was fully stocked). I finally found him laying at the bottom of a storage tub dump with a bunch of other misplaced toys waiting to be re-shelved. His card was a little beat up, but that's okay because I already planned on opening him anyway. The hunt is on for the other figures!!!

I saw the Prince Adam/Sky Sled set and Battle Cat last weekend. With no other figures I passed for now. May regret that later...

Awesome pictures. I picked up a He-Man and Skeletor today at Wal-Mart. It took 3 WM locations before I found a store with anyone beside Skeletor on the pegs. (Another location was also carrying MOTU minis in Castle Grayskull blind box-like containers.

Walking down the toy aisle in 2020, I'm amazed by how many action figure lines on the shelves are throwbacks/tributes or modeled after lines from the 80s and 90s. Just the other day, I saw these He-Man figures next to the more recent Power Rangers retro figures, the Hasbro Empire Strikes Back retro figures and the Spider-Man retro figures based on the 90s animated series. The current G.I. Joe Classified figures and the NECA Aliens figures are presented in a new way, but also capture excitement from previous decades.

How are preorders solicited, WW? Thanks.

Sadly, you have to just get lucky when they pop up on Walmart.com.

First impressions:

*Like them A LOT lol.
*Boy, the cardbacks are thin
*Super articulation
*The knees on the female figures look weird, truly
*The head sculpts on He-Man and Skeletor are a bit off-putting to me, it's a departure from vintage I'm not sure I like

Looking forward to wave 2!
