So apparently Walmart Collector Con starts tomorrow and continues to Friday starting at 7am pst. I had no idea this was happening until a YouTube post  showed up on my feed. 

One of the items is Masterverse Classic Skeletor. I kinda want this one so I’ll be gunning for it. It does say Friday release date on it though.

@normdapito 

I'd love to see the skeleton warriors in the line at some point. The skeletrooper might lessen that possibility, but those skeleton origins are some of my favs from that line so I'd love to grab some in the Masterverse style to put into the skeleton display

 

@leor 

Does anyone know if these items are usually in stock and ready to ship? I just put in an order for the 40th turtles, but have to ship to Canada, so if I can hold off and get them all at once that would be ideal. And of course, walmart.ca has pretty much everything except for the Skeletor. Womp womp.

@karl_space If they do Skeleton Warriors I would want to see them have Glow In The Dark limbs as well.   That is what really put the Origins version over the top for me.

I have a feeling the Skeletor for Walmart Collector Con is just a timed exclusive and will show up at other locations at a later date, much like Terroroar, etc. last year (this year?)

@karl_space I’m not sure about this Skeletor. I don’t see an expected by date when I look on the Walmart website. 

I am curious since this is a classic Skeletor., will there be a classic HeMan? Is the 40th considered the classic or should we expect another classic HeMan?

After they went so long without selling out I overcame my guilt and created a new account and used a different name/address/payment method to order 3 more.  That said they still haven't shipped that second order yet so I may hit you up if for some reason that one gets canceled.

Put my collector con order in for Zodac -  hesitated for a second on classic Skeletor.   I love the look but I have SO many Skeletors already, do I really need another.   Then figured it's only $22 and tossed it on the pile.

Looks like Masterverse Vintage Collection Zodak is available at Walmart Collector Con for preorder, which is a surprise because they didn't advertise him, did they?

https://www.walmart.com/ip/MOTU-VINTAGE-ZODAC/12030619868?classType=REGULAR

I logged on thinking Skeletor was available today, but he's not until tomorrow, so we can likely confirm preorder as well. Now to find out if other retailers will get these as well, or if they're a WM exclusive.

Did Skeletor go up? Still listed as Out of Stock. Did it go up at all yet?

So,  I had a live button for him at 7:00 am sharp and added it to my order.    But - my order for him did not process -  I just didn't notice in my hurry to get done.   He was deactivated from my cart before my order processed it appears.

He is supposed to go up tomorrow, apparently -  so tune in again then.

They did a pretty terrible job telling us what was going up for this line on Collector Con - is it Zodac and Skeletor for Masterverse? I saw Zodac while ordering the one Marvel Legends exclusive and ordered him and then was like wait, wasn't he going to be a wide release? And had to go check BBTS to see if I'd already ordered him. 

I can live without another Skeletor but do like this one if he becomes available again but I didn't even see him listed on the Walmart site.

@leor I have it on good authority (the voices in my head), they are never going to make another He-Man figure in Masterverse again...... 😋 

I'm sure they'll do another He-Man in this "Vintage" (psuedo Classics) subline of Masterverse.   I guess the only real question is will they be cheap and just throw out the 40th mold with some small changes, or will it be a more substantially new mold?

@canprime Concerning, the 40th HeMan, I wasn’t sure if it was discussed here or not, but is the head sculpt based on the very first run of HeMan figures back in the 80s?  I seem to remember buying my HeMan figure when it first came out and then maybe months later seeing a new batch with what looked like a new head sculpt. I can’t  remember if it was a new headsculpt or just better paint apps. The older one seemed to have darker blonde hair than the newer batches. The 40th Masterverse HeMan reminds me of that first run of HeMan. Maybe the classic Masterverse HeMan, if they make him, the headsculpt will be based on the newer batches from back then. They should probably give him a new torso that has a less bulbous chest.

Got an order in for 2x vintage Skeletor, but was disappointed to find that it's not coming out til March 2025! Especially after the treat of the Hasbro items being in stock and shipped already. I've got ML Quicksilver and TF Bombshell already en route.
