Finally. Hopefully we will get a Filmation She-ra as well.

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.

More pics plus Mastersverse. You can just make out a blurry shot of the Masterverse 87 movie Evil-Lyn.
Looks like the Origins Filmation figures are getting new body sculpts. Plus, thankfully, Filmation He-Man doesn't use that dreadful head sculpt from the exclusive 4 pack.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Man those look sweet! I was tempted when Super 7 did the Filmation style in classic format, but I never took the plunge. May have to dive into these, if finances improve.Comment

You didn't miss much with those. The sculpts and quality are way below Mattel and the first wave had issues with the legs breaking at the hips. They did improve as the line went on but still not anywhere near Mattel quality. I think the standout figures of the line were He-Ro, Eldor and Shadow Weaver.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Origins is going to refresh as the cartoon based He-Man and the Masters of the Universe for spring 2024 at retail. The remaining classic toy figures will be released through Mattel Creations. Which, I think, is a wise move. You can't keep a mass market retail line going with d-listers like Rotar and Twistoid. The heavy focus on 2002 variants, Sun Man and Snake Men in 2023 was also probably not the best idea for retail.

I give him credit for finally asking about She-Ra characters. The POP characters really got the shaft in Origins with just one release. Not keen on the nudge, nudge wink answer from Mattel but I am more hopeful we will finally get some She-Ra characters with the cartoon rebrand to the line.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

I have no interest in any Filmation versions except Shadow Weaver.
It's particularly upsetting that the classic line is shifting to Creations--nearly everybody was getting these online anyway. I actually have to take time off to buy Creations, it's a pain in the ***** and an unnecessarily stressor for a line I've absolutely adored.
That said, there're relatively few classic figures left to issue, and I'm a trooper.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

What about Queen Marlena? Shadow Weaver and Queen Marlena are the two Filmation characters i want most, since they were never given "Classic" or "Original" Origins figures.
The remaining non-Filmation figures like Lady Slither, Sy-Clone, etc. should also be made available at BBTS and/or EE. Maybe not at first, but eventually. That would make sure most people are able to get them fairly easily at their standard price.Comment
