      Exactly, love Faker. I shelled out for his convention set, too.

        Fisto vintage vs Origins.

        muofisto.JPG

        Pretty much a spot on update just with the usual brighter Origins colors. Doesn't have the punching action feature.
        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...

          I forgot to mention it looks like there might be a running change on the series 5 card backs. He-Man and Skeletor are being refreshed in series 5 with the retro heads from the Battle Armor figures and full power swords. My Evil Lyn's card back has the original series 1 heads on He-Man and Skeletor in the cross sell illustration. The rest have updated artwork with the retro heads.

            Saw the wave in-store today.
            The Lords of Power Mer-Man has a cool "LOP" logo sticker on the bubble.
            PUNY HUMANS!

              Just received Wave 5. Excellent! I wish Fisto featured chrome, but the Evil-Lyn variant is good compensation. LOP Mer-Man is wonderful.

                yeah got wave five a few days ago, the lop sticker on merman is cool and really like the more silver shine on fisto's armor.

                  I too received my wave 5. So why was Evil-Lyn painted different in a later wave? Was it never the plan to have her Lego yellow from the beginning?
                  Also, I am seeing the Landshark for pre-order but lots of people on Youtube have one already. I want one. Is it exclusive? Should I bother to pre-order from EE or BBTS or will Wal-mart and Target have it?
                  I'm still really happy with all my Origins figures overall. I mean, they're really close to how the original figures look. As someone who never got into the Classics series but definitely wanted to this is as good as it gets.
                  I kind of wish She-Ra got a pseudo Man-At-Arms make-over with accessories we can attach to her. I would like something that looks closer to the Classics Filmation figure.

                    It's Evil-Lyn's 'toon colors, love it.

                    Totally agree about She-Ra, and also that was my Classics vs. Origins experience, too.

                      Landshark has been out for several months. It's not an exclusive. I got mine from amazon. I posted pics back in March.

                        Series 5 Evil-Lyn and series 1 Teela are being found with the improved sculpted female knees.

                          Man, these running changes are going to drive collectors nuts from here to eternity, especially considering how scarce most of these figures are.

                            I'm glad I decided not to go down this rabbit hole. So many different variations! Anyone keeping a running tally of how many Origins figures released to date?

                              The knee flap design for the female figures has been a complaint since the line started. I'm actually happy to see Mattel is listening and fixing stuff.
