Whoredak looks awesome, good face sculpt. wings dont always have to be huge. the wings are fine.
Toy Habits points out that the new She-Ra is listed as a "New Etheria" version rather than "New Eternia":
Also, the face looks a bit better in the official pics, so I guess it's up in the air how the final product's gonna turn out.
Sorry, For Eternia, not Toy Habits. Still can't edit on this version of the site.
Even the article and Mattel press seem to be confused on what it's being called.
"Whoredak" sent me. Thank you.
Grabbing a few recent Masterverse figures to dip my toes back into the Mattel waters.
Okay, I'm... whelmed by the She-Ra, but I don't hate the photos from the website compared to the floor pics.
I'm kind of un-stressed about this line now that I've got Panthor. I can honestly say I have at least one version I like of almost every character I love (just a few stray holdovers) so I'm kind of in the just-enjoy-the-ride mode with Masterverse now.
Got shipping notice on Vintage Skeletor a few days ago. It's funny, last year I'd almost always get shipping on a figure from Walmart out of nowhere and the figure would be delivered that day. This time it's taken long enough I just checked to make sure the package hadn't been delivered and stolen off my steps. I'd heard Walmart was cutting delivery drivers. Wonder if that has something to do with it. (Not a rush for the figure, but just an observations about a shift in speed.)
Ugh She-Ra with Charlotte Flair face, single elbows, weird colors...great hair and legs but a pass sadly.
Terror Claws Skeletor is bought on sight. Look at that menacing grin under there 🤩
I'm looking at the pictures for the first time and reading back through the posts and immediately thought Charlotte Flair. Especially the photos from he floor. Very disappointed to see the Evil Lyn single joints weren't a one-off. There's been a number of improvements over the years, then they go and take a step back when they already had perfectly fine arms. Hard to come up with a reason other than cost savings.
My Vintage Skeletor FINALLY arrived from Walmart.
I'm a big fan. Well worth the wait.
I guess a new Faker and She-Ra are Walmart Con Exclusives?

Oof, what a waste of time that livestream is. One reveal for MOTU over a half hour full of excruciatingly boring content.
Every time a Faker is revealed, I just feel disappointed. I had a vintage one. I understand his history and appeal. But he's also just a He-Man variant/repaint, so he's always boring to me.
I don't like much about the new She-Ra, other than her more muscular thighs. Which isn't a reason to buy her. I was transferring my modern MOTU stuff into some new containers and handled the previous Masterverse She-Ra. She holds up and is good enough for me.
I'm not even sure who else I really want in Masterverse. I feel like all the main characters I like have been made. I think only Snakemen can interest me now. Unless there's some kind of outstanding figure which takes me by surprise.
I read on Toy Habits that they mentioned a deluxe Moss Man for Masterverse during the livestream today? I didn't watch it, but that's definitely one I've been hoping to see sooner than later in the line.
After so much Snake Men love in Origins I'm really ready for some Snake Men in Masterverse. I mean Origins even got 'never had figures' snakes like Lady Slither, Vypor and Reptilax not too mention red and blue generic snake warriors. I'm ready for an avalanche of snake goodness in the Masterverse line already man. The snakes are some of my favorites so it's bumming me out not to get them.
I had a few Masterverse figures from when the line started, but for one reason or another got away from collecting MOTU. Just received the vintage Skeletor today and I'm now playing catch up. Can't believe how much I enjoy this simple yet satisfying figure.
