Got a Pre-Order arriving soon notice for Cartoon Collection Skeletor from Big Bad.

Got the same notice from BBTS for cartoon Skeletor.  He-Man and Beast Man have been sitting in my Pile of Loot, which I'll ship soon after a few more upcoming figures land.

BBTS never put up cartoon Man at Arms, right?  Seems weird they somehow forgot to list him.  I have him on preorder from Amazon.   BBTS also has Merman but lists him as "Fan Choice" or something similar.  I think that's the cartoon figure.

I believe the fan choice is just a straight re-issue of the first version.

@ashtalon Neither BBTS nor Entertainment Earth put Man At Arms up.  I have no idea why.  Hopefully they eventually do.

Also, the Fan Choice Mer-Man is just a straight rerelease of the first Origins Mer-Man.

However, Cartoon Mer-Man and Stratos should be the 4th Wave of the Filmation series. But they aren't up for pre order yet.

I got the coming soon email for 'toon Skeletor as well, but I have zero other items in my PoL. Gonna be a long wait. I still haven't even opened Beast Man or He-Man.

Do we know this yet as fact?

 

I was really hoping to see some more ladies - specifically Princess of Power ones! Scorpia! Catra! Adora! Come on now!

Still wild to me that we don't have a Two-bad or a Sy-Klone as we head into the fourth year of the line, and instead are getting an entire army of (to me) very boring and bland Snake-men that I'm not interested in in the slightest. Time will tell how long it takes to get the final two vintage figures I feel like I need.

I got my ToG Leo and Don in (passing on He-man and MAA) and they're pretty dang fun. I feel like Leo is better without all the shoulder and arm armour and cuts a more interesting silhouette. Also the comic is pretty good, and does a great job setting up the story and figure looks. 

Speaking of the comics, did anyone talk about the The Bones Beneath that came with the Skeleton Warriors two-pack? Talk about a surprisingly deep comic about a father chained to Skeletor's will in death kept in check by a threat to his daughter. Not what I expected at all, it really elevates Kada-Var to be more of a character than a simple skeleton warrior.

Totally agree how fucking stupid it is (my words, of course) to flood the Origins line-up with Snake Men original characters/designs that no one asked for while holding back major vintage characters that EVERYONE is asking for. That's such a hardcore typical Mattel move that it's almost not even worth complaining about because we totally should have seen this coming a mile away.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it's double-stupid because if they just completed the vintage line and then kept making original and new characters - I'd actually probably keep buying them (provided they're actually fucking available, Mattel). But I'm not buying any of their generic Snake Men or anything like that anymore until I get my fucking Extendar and Rio Blast. I'm just not.

Toon MAA and first wave of TMNTxMotU are listed as IN STOCK on BBTS for 19.99 and 20.99 respectively. Wave 2 is up for PO.

I ordered the Toon Man At Arms immediately.  I was lucky enough to get one pre ordered on Amazon, but we all know how that can go.  Just to be safe, I ordered one of these in stock MAA from BBTS.

Can't decide if I want to pull the trigger and go in on the Turtles of Grayskull figures.  Part of me likes them, part of me doesn't.  Part of me thinks they are goofy, the other part of me thinks that's why they work.

My two favorite toy properties of all time merged together.  Feels kind of like I should get them.

The two current Masters lines and Turtles have made up a significant portion of my figure buying the last several years, but I wasn't feeling the urge to buy the crossover this morning.  I'm not against crossovers either.  I bought almost all the Masters WWE figures.  Maybe if I see them on the pegs...

I ordered MAA and was hoping Teela and the newest Masterverse were also in stock because several youtube reviews have popped up in my feed.

I like the turtles but I'm not totally sold on the He-Man variants. Picked up Wave 1 on impulse tonight because I panicked seeing Leo sell out a few places and EE had the whole wave. 

I just snagged MMA from BBTS too. I'd been waffling over finally picking up the Dolph Masterverse He-Man in stock there, been sitting in my cart for days and Cartoon MAA just nudged me over the edge.

Missed your comment.  I had this Merman ordered and delivered from Amazon, and it is indeed just a reissue of the existing figure.  Just going to return it.

Just a heads up for Canadians out there.  Dollarama has started getting in cases of the Buzzsaw Hordak, BA He-Man and BA Skeletor.   If you still need them, or just want extras, they are starting to show up.....$5 each.

Finally some more cheap stuff coming our way in Canada, even if it is old stock most people already have.
