Masters of the Universe Origins series 7 comparisons

[Werewolf]

Finally got some series 7 figures.

Sorceress vintage vs Origins.

Same as the previous Origins Sorceress that came with Castle Grayskull but now in classic toy/cartoon colors. I was lucky enough to get one where the painted feather details on her bodice line up perfectly. Fantastic looking figure.

Buzz-Off vintage vs Origins.

Subtle but welcome changes. He can actually hold his weapon instead of looping it around his claw. He now has fully sculpted antennas instead of the little nubs of the vintage figure. The cap has been redesigned to accommodate this. The antenna now goes through the cap which holds it on very securely. The new cap also doesn't have antennas sculpted on it. It's smooth on top. They kept his smile which was a nice touch. The vintage figure could have been kind of scary, on the creepy bug like monster body, if it wasn't for the very friendly looking head sculpt. A terrific update of an already great figure.

[Werewolf]

Tracked down some of the female figures with updated knees as well. These were a real pain to hunt down.

They both look cool. I'm being selective about who I pick up from this line but Buzz-off is a definite must have.

Sorceress is a big maybe.

I'm so happy I found the Sorceress. Buzz-Off looks great. I really loved that figure as a kid. I have heard he was over-packed and became a shelf-warmer in the original line, but I didn't know that then, and didn't care. I just thought he was cool.

Stridor vintage vs Origins.

Unlike the rest of the vehicles and mounts, so far, Origins Stridor is the same size as the vintage one.

The first noticeable change is the usual brighter colors Origins use. Which is honestly an improvement. They also painted his eyes and added paint details on his legs. The silver paint is very sparkly looking. Wooo sparkles! The other major change is the articulation. The vintage Stridor was pretty much a brick. You could only rotate his cannons and tail. The Origins Stridor adds ratcheting back legs at the hips, jointed front legs, jointed knees and ankles. He is also triple jointed at the neck. The last change is the spring-loaded opening mouth to hold his new reins. His accessories are the reins, 3 blast effects, additional MOTUC style helmet and a Grayskull base. I've always liked Stridor and the Origins version is really amped up to perfection.

Buzz-Off was always a fav of mine as well.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow, Stridor looks and sounds great. I was always frustrated by his lack of articulation. Battle Cat I knew was never going to have articulation, but Stridor looked like he should. I still have my orginal, but I believe that one of his legs is broken. I may need to get this one.

It's murder. But I have both Evil-Lyns, hunting for more.

The upgrades to Stridor sound fantastic. I hope Matty does Night Stalker, too.

[Werewolf]

Wow, Stridor looks and sounds great.

The new Stridor hits all the nostalgia marks in looks and feel while still being a massive upgrade. It's Stridor just as you remembered him and how you wished he was. Mattel really knocked it out of the park.

I would be shocked if we don't get Night Stalker. Mattel is not going to want that terrific mold to go to waste.

The new knees are such an improvement! I only need to replace She-Ra…I’ve already found the others.

They have to….right?! I hope so! I always really enjoy your comparisons Werewolf! Much appreciated.

Thank you. I'm always happy people find them useful.

Jitsu vintage vs origins.

My vintage Jitsu has sadly currently lost/misplaced his sword. The new sword lacks the guard on the hilt and is molded in a semi-translucent plastic.

The Origins figure is very close to the vintage one. The Origins figure does have a bit larger gauntlet hand. It is chromed looking. The rest of the gold paint on him, like Stridor, is very glittery.
