MOTU Origins wave 13 first look.

[PNGwynne]

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.

^If they made that...it would be interesting to see if a certain YouTuber would suddenly change his tune.

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.

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.

Found this the other day looking for MOTU Snake Man and there are some items I do not remember seeing...

OK...if they give us the chick... that's a definite buy for me..

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.

What's an Eternian Guard Infiltrator?

I think it's a snake man in disguise as an Eternian guard.

I'm wondering about that white body, too KKA83.

[KingKickass1983]

I'll admit...Slamurai is tempting, as I've a custom in mind that could use a white base body.

According to some leaked Walmart and Amazon listings, it looks like wave 14 could be Spikor, Serpent Claw Man at Arms (they are really pushing 2002), Eternian Guard Infiltrator and Sssqueeze. As usual things are subject to change and take this with a grain of salt until Mattel officially announces it.

Seems weird to release another King Randor right after the classic version. I still haven't found that yet! I know, I know, I should just order them from BBTS or EE, but I like finding MOTU in the wild as an impulse purchase. I only dabble in the line.

I liked the look of Snake Teela, but 'kid me' would have called her something like Queen Python to Kobra Khan as leaders of the Snake Men. I hated the look of King Hiss, that figure made no since with the other true snake men.

Thanks for pointing that out--I don't know the character details well enough to pick up on that.

This is good news--I probably would have added a Classics Modulok to my Origins Horde if he was not made.
