Finally got the Horde Trooper(s).
I have to say they are much better in person than I thought they would be. Love how big they are and the design is great, including the removable helmet with Goblinesque head underneath.
Also a shout out to the packaging team. It is a great box and display piece considering it is "retail" and not a deluxe offering from a smaller company. I love the double sided art for the backdrop. Bring on the variant colours!!!
The new Skelcons are available by the case at EE right now, releasing this month!
All I see is a "404 Error - Page Not Found" - so probably a mistake putting that up by EE, I'm guessing.
Found the new Fisto today at Target. No sign of Lyn or Flying Fists.
Edit:
On the right is the New Eternia Fisto, without the chest armor. A little taller than the old Revelations Fisto, which is on the left. He's wearing the New Eternia armor, with the standard head from NE, and the original sword from Revelations. This will be my combo for standard New Eternia Fisto. The new parts are a vast improvement. The short bio on the package states that Skeletor severed Malcolm's hand, but it's evident in the sculpt that he had more of his arm severed, probably up to his bicep, because he has a robotic hinge elbow. He also has an interchangeable fist, which can be swapped with either blunt end of the hammer he carries. I like that thing as a weapon, so he'll keep the fist. I don't think he needs Trap Jaw's gimmick either. The fist (and metal arm) has much crisper detail than the Revelations fist. It's all plastic, unlike the metal Revelations fist. It also has better elbow range if you spin it around so the tricep sculpt becomes the bicep, but that puts some rivets on the inside of his arm, which surprisingly doesn't interfere with motion or keeping the arm down at his side. Seems like a lot to write about a relatively simple figure, but the features are notably different and adjustable to suit everyone's preference.
That Fisto looks pretty cool, im like it. very toyetic.
Hard to believe the vintage Skeletor and Zodac won’t be available for another four or five months…until I remember they’re Walmart exclusives…
Is Battle Armor Skeletor part of the wave that's hitting Targets? Snake Teela, Man o War, Battle Armor He-Man are all figures I've seen within the last couple weeks and am just curious the best route to get Skeletor. Sometimes these figures sell out before I even realize they're available. I'll preorder on EE for $25 if I have to but they charge a ton for shipping so that's my last resort.
There’s actually three waves of Masterverse that’s hitting Target in a relatively short time between each other BA Skeletor should be in the same wave as Snake Teela, Merman, and ManoWar if I remember right. I’ve seen new shipment of NE Triklops at some of my Targets which is the same wave with BA Heman which was the wave before BA Skeletor. Now there are reports of the new Evil Lynn wave showing up at Target.
@leor thanks leor. Sounds like I was there just in time to find the leftovers. I'll have to hit up some stores this week and see if I can get lucky. Seems like they usually just get one case/stock and that's it but who knows.
I actually keep seeing the newest Wave of Masterverse at Wal-Marts all over Ohio. New Eternia Flying Fists He-Man, Fisto, and Evil Lyn. Great looking figures. I have mine ordered at BBTS though, so I am just waiting on them to ship them and give them the business.
My Walmarts have stopped carrying Masters of the Universe and Classified. These same stores choked on certain figures like Pig Man, retro Lady Jaye, the Jitsu/Stratos/BuzzOff/Sorceress wave. One of the stores got the King Keldor wave in, but that was gone quickly. I'm trying to find new Evil Lyn, but haven't had any luck at bricks and mortar like I did with Fisto above.
Same NORM. I have two local WMs and they don't carry MOTU (only the wrestler ones) or Classified. With Masterverse occasionally selling out instantly on Amazon and only scalper stock remaining (as is now with Skeletor) I really have an unfun time buying what I want from this toyline.
Totally forgot about the Horde Trooper. Thankfully it was not sold out. Ordered a couple. Love the look of those guys.
So the upcoming Randor figure has removable hair? 🙂

Oh, I suppose that could've been sussed out from the crown accessory.
Randor is neat but I want this chick on the side of his box! Finally a reason to display Vykron in his spaceman suit.
Got lucky today and scored Merman (wow he's gorgeous!) and BA Skeletor. Retail is failing this line. They only have one peg at Target next to about 15 Goojitsu pegs. Four figures on the Masterverse peg, three older ones and Man At Arms. Asked if they had any more and the employee brought out Skeletor and Merman.
Although I wasn't too lucky. Skeletor's hip balls are totally loose. Holding him horizontally, the legs flop. Has anyone gone through Mattel for a replacement with any luck? I'm not counting on finding this guy again at Target. I guess tonight I'm popping the legs off and (floor) polishing Skeletor's (hip) balls.
