    I don't really regret it. But I also probably wouldn't have invested as much in Classics if I knew Origins was coming in a few years. It did make passing on Super7's Snake Mountain really easy.
    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 Origins line is the best toy line any company has done in ages.

      Origins CG is great. I love my Classics CG and it scales better with the Origins figures, but the new Origins CG is a fantastic piece too.

        That's really cool.

        They also evened out the skull part, tried to have everything more balanced, I noticed.

        I still would like the original best, but the new one is well made, and fun.

        Plus it would make a great present,

        a gift, especially for those who never experienced the feel of 1980's playsets.

          There's a running change on series 3 She-Ra. Much better face paint. Thinner eyebrows and better painted eyes with lashes and highlights.

          First release versus new release.

              The new one is a huge improvement.

                  I don't think sellers know the difference. I'm not sure if the change is widely know yet. I've seen no youtube reviews. Looks like You have to just search for Origins She-Ra and check auction by auction to see if the seller has the updated figure.

                      Buzzsaw Hordak vintage vs Origins.

                      muobuzzhordak.JPG

                      There was a running change on the face paint on Buzzsaw Hordak as pointed out by enyawd72 in this thread:

                      http://megomuseum.com/community/show...-variant-found!

                      The one I have is what I believe is the final corrected version with the large red eyes and gray highlights on his face which matches the vintage Hordak figures. I absolutely love the extra smiling head the Origins figure comes with. That is going to be my default Hordak head. The action features works just like the vintage figure. You push down on the lever that the cape is attached to. The buzz saw action feature works very well and fires with a surprising amount of force. Far more than I would have expected for a modern toy and even shoots farther than the vintage one. You do have to have the chest panel open for it to work, though. The action feature is well hidden and there is a barely noticeable difference between the sculpt of the standard Hordak in comparison to the very bulky torso of the vintage figure.

                        ^I now regret passing up Buzzsaw Hordak at Target this weekend. With all the Megos I just ordered, I thought I had better mind my budget. He looks great.

                          Faker vintage soft head, commemorative and Origins.



                          The commemorative figure has very dark orange armor and sword. Has the same slightly off head sculpt issue as the commemorative He-Man. They also forgot to give him his robot chest sticker.

                          Origins Faker comes with the vintage style head and full power sword! The robot chest panel is no longer a sticker and is now painted on. I've always liked Faker and the brighter colors on the new one really pop. Great looking figure.

                              I'm going to have to get that Mer-Man. I've wanted a figure like that for nearly 40 years. Faker looks great too. I always liked that character. Bizarro He-Man...what's not to love?
