It's really hard to say.  I haven't heard of it being found anywhere like Wal-Mart or in this case Target.  And it has never gone up for pre order on those stores' websites or even Amazon either I think.

The only places I've seen it for pre order or in stock are the more specialty stores for when things are kind of fan channel exclusives.  BBTS, EE, Paulmart, etc.

However, that doesn't mean it WON'T be at Target.  The Throne set just started shipping out to folks here in the US. So, maybe it will be at places like Target in the next weeks or month.

Thinking of the Origins line, I don't think the Prince Adam or Cringer set went up for pre order at anywhere but specialty online stores at first like BBTS and EE.  But then lately people have been finding that set at Wal-Mart and Target.  So, maybe the throne set for Mastreverse will be the same.

I'll say this, the Throne set doesn't seem to be in any threat of selling out anywhere right now, especially at the $70 price point.  Maybe just wait a few weeks and see if it does show up at Target.  If not, grab one online.  it's honestly a set I expect to be sold at a discounted price eventually.

If I see or hear it's being found at retail, especially Target, I'll post it here.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I really like the Flying Fists He-Man shown at the SDCC Preview night.  They seem to have New Eternia Evil Lyn and Beast Man (again but completely different) as well.

Psyched for that classic Evil-Lyn. Not quite as psyched for Beast Man or He-Man. But I’m sure they each come with enough stuff to give them classic looks. I’ll wait and see.

Trying to see what is different about the Roboto but can't get a good pic to see.

That Panthor will be mine!!!!!   Need it to go against He-Man and Battle Cat.

Is that Panthor definitely Masterverse? Because I have very few must-have, will-break-my-heart-if-they-never-make-them figures for this line and Panthor is #1. If we only get one other mount/companion, he's all I want for this line. I love that big purple menace. 

Love the look of Evil-Lyn in the pics, too. Great stuff.

Not sure if Masterverse will ever have Cringer, but I saw a two pack of Prince Adam and Cringer MOTUO at Target the other day.  Looks like he can fit in with Masterverse  He’s not a must have for me so I’ll  risk waiting for a Target sale.

So, now they've also shown New Eternia Fisto, Blade, and a Skelcon.  New Eternia Fisto looks fantastic!  I'm really glad this line is continuing.  i was kind of worried we'd hear it was wrapping up at SDCC.  Instead, we've seen like two new Waves, the Mattel Creations Horde Trooper, and a Mattel Creations Panthor.

Guys. Guys. GUYS.
I genuinely cannot tell you how excited I am about Blade. Finally replacing the somewhat shit-sandwich of a figure that Mattel cranked out years ago for Classics. This is figure number 5, unless I'm misremembering, for direct movie figures in Masterverse and I'm so happy. Keep them coming, Mattel. And right the wrong done to us by fucking Scott and actually give us two movie-design swords for our movie Blade.

Hell yeah. Mattel could show nothing else all weekend and I'm good.

That Evil-Lyn is just about everything I've been hoping for for a while, and I'm SO fucking glad she isn't neon piss yellow. That being said... I very much hope we get a Battleground/200X repaint for her, those colors are simply better.

Most of the Masterverse stuff looked great. I'm glad they're hitting all the movie characters. Blade was always my favorite new/movie addition to Motu. I don't really like Fisto's full metal arm. Kind of goes against the whole big metal fist gimmick if it just blends into his entire arm. Might stick with the Revelation Fisto version.

Agree with all of this! Like you, I'm relieved she isn't the neon yellow color...but if they did the 200X colors for her they'd get me to purchase again.

I am absolutely in love with the new Fisto head, but also agree about the arm. I feel like I'm going to have to do some kind of amalgam.

That Battle Armor Skeletor is just so good.  I like a lot of the upcoming figures but if I had to trim my Masterverse collection I'd just have a bunch of Skeletors.
