So the lady in the space suit is just Marlena before she became Queen right? In classics they had her in a green body suit with a space helmet that you could swap heads and put a skirt on a convert to a dress to do versions of both figures. It looks like in classics young Marlena will get a whole separate sculpt in her space suit, maybe? Or maybe it will still be convertible but they are just depicting the space suit version.
Is an appearance in box art enough to assume a figure? I feel like there've been a number of depictions like that that never came to fruition. One of the Beast Men versions had a "Beast Woman" (and the upcoming one has another Beast-person with a crown and beard), for example, and there's no sign of that ever happening. The Skelcon features Hawke as well as a winged Skelcon. Fisto has some sort of lizard man he's fighting while He-Man fights a couple of wolfmen. I'd buy figures of any of these if they made them, but I'm not sure depiction equals that. Granted, Marlena is a character that already exists, so things might be different with her (and Hawke?).
Yeah, I don't think it's a guarantee, and yet on the other hand characters that got pictures on box art in Origins later got figures in Origins on numerous occasions. So there's at least precedent for the practice. I do think Marlena is at least in the realm of possibility given her overall importance in He-Man's story.
Found Flying Fists He-Man at the same Target I found Fisto. Slow trickle. I love his armor, but never thought he needed weapons like these.

I was thinking, I often talk about what we need to finish the vintage collection in Origins. But we aren't too far from getting all the characters from the vintage collection in Masterverse as far as unique characters.
We need
Rokkon
Stonedar
Rio Blast
Extendar
Mantenna
Dragstor
Mosquitor
Multi Bot
Modulok
Saurod
Blade
Ninjor
Kobra Khan
Tung Lashor
Rattlor
Squeeze
Snake Face
King Hiss
Blast Attack
Then if you want you can also add the Tops Twistoid and Rotar and the variants of characters like
Dragon Blaster Skeletor
Terror Claws Skeletor
Hurricane Hordak
Buzz Saw Hordak
But make no mistake, some of those characters we DO have were made from their MOTU Revelations/Revolutions looks. I'd much rather have New Eternia or Classic/Vintage Masterverse figures of characters like
Prince Adam, Stinkor, Orko, Gwildor, Scare-Glow etc.
The only ones really necessary for my collection would be Mantenna, Modulok, Rio Blast, and maybe Extendar. Can live without the rest.
@normdapito Those are definitely some crucial characters that would make great Masterverse figures.
For me, I'd need a few more. I like to have all the main Heroic Warriors and Skeletors Evil Warriors.
So, I'd want Rokkon, Stonedar, Rio Blast, and Extendar. Then Ninjor for the Evil Warriors and to cover the main Horde characters I'd want Mantenna and Modulok.
I hope we get all those unique characters before it's over. But if I could only have a few, that's my wish list.
Got the Horde Trooper. This figure is awesome! It’s huge and has a beautiful silver armor. The articulation is surprisingly good, with drop down hips increasing the range of motion. Really impressive, large figure. I’m a bit surprised that this is just an online-only figure considering how nice it is and that it’s an army builder.
So i just need to get a little rant of my chest - Masterverse necks suck.
Origins has a good double ball peg, giving great range of movement.
Masterverse has those horrible peg on a swivel they used to do for the DC Multiverse in the end days of that line, and it really limits the types of head poses you can get. There's no reason I can think of why they just wouldn't go with the same double ball peg as Origins. It would instantly improve posing and the figures ability to look more natural.
Bean counter budgeting. Same issue with Marvel Legends and Joe Classifieds. Those neck restrictions are annoying and screams cutting corners.
If we're nitpicking articulation, I'd love to see up-down wrist swivels on weapon holding hands. NE Skeletor and Merman are quickly favorites of mine but they'd both be better with those swivels. I can't even get Skeletor in a decent pose holding his axe due to them.
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.
It’s so annoying how stores and toy companies can’t seem to solve this problem. My local Target had two pegs full of Andra up until a month ago, so never got any Masterverse in
Sorry if this doesn’t go here…
Had a chance to open up Merman and Battle Armor Skeletor! Both are fantastic! This line is really hitting my favorite aesthetic lately with these two being my favorite version of Skeletor and my favorite villain (Merman) and Syklone, Man o War, and the Horde Trooper. These latest have been my favorite figures in the line.
Merman is so impressive in person. From photos, I couldn’t tell how different he was from the previous version. But he’s awesome in person.
