    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...

      That would make sense, that was a Classics variant. Yawn.

        Yeah, it's snake man over kill. We are getting the Snake Man Guard from MOTUC but not Catra or Swift Wind. Good grief. Just give me the Snake Men from the vintage line. I don't need MOTUC redos or concept sketches.

              I do not want Lady Slither or any of the other characters created for MOTUC. I absolutely dread them making a Mighty Spector for Origins.

                  Ugh, probably would say it was an attempt by Mattel to save MOTU by including it.

                  That cringy-ness aside, I'm not a huge fan of concept art sketch figures in MOTU.

                  Especially when there are so many original figures still left to be made and not every sketch in the vault is worth a figure. Some of those designs got refined and made into figures that were already released and some are just better left on the drawing board. Now, I am all for unreleased figures that nearly got made like He-Ro, Eldor and the Star Sisters. They had fully sculpted and painted near production ready prototypes photographed in catalogues. I'd love to see those.

                    TBH, I don't begrudge Serpent-claw Man-at-Arms--because Duncan has so few versions and frankly I think they should also re-release LOP Man-at-Arms. Judicious 200X releases are fine. Origins needs heroes and female characters to balance the waves.

                    But I like the early-vintage vibe best, techno-barbaric.

                      Sadly, I think at this point we have a better chance at getting the 2002 disco Skeletor than any more She-Ra figures.

                        Perhaps, but I think we have a better chance of getting another She-Ra than any other POP. There's support for Origins POP on the Mattel Creations MOTU forum, so perhaps there will at least be some exclusives.

                          I'd love to get a chance at LoP Man at Arm's armor. Never understood using newly sculpted items on exclusives...same goes for He-Man's boot knife.

                            Agreed, I like LOP Skeletor's greaves, too.

                              I'd like to see a case refresh with a standard, original style He-Man with one of the more classic looking heads, and a Skeletor with an Alfredo Alcala head. I missed out on those, and it would be a nice way to get the two main characters back into a regular assortment. And kids and casual fans wouldn't know the difference, and accept them as just "classic" versions anyway.

                                Many of you in the USA are lucky compared to the lousy lack of MOTU OROGINS here in CANADA . sadly the line here is getting to be non-existent .
