Spotted Mouse Jaw x3 today at Target. Definitely no interest in this line, though I wouldn't mind getting that Mouser.
I might have to check a few Dollaramas and see if I can grab a Hordak for my son.
It's a weird set of figures for Dollarama to be getting. The BA figures were barely available here when they were new, so it's not like they've been peg-warming everywhere for years or anything. I only ever saw those figures are retail two, maybe three times.
But I already have BA He-Man and Skeletor. Really wish the ones popping up included Thunder Punch He-Man. Never saw that one anywhere.

I haven't opened Mouse Jaw yet, but I'd like some extra Mousers. Not sure how they'd release more of them. Unless a Mouser multi-pack is released in the TMNT crossover line.
I'm not in a hurry, but BBTS sent a processing soon for Skeletor a day or two after Christmas, I think? Surprised he's taking so long.

Yup. I'm waiting on him to ship my Pile. Come on!
Just a heads up for my fellow Canadians who may not know.
Dollarama is starting to stock some Origins figures from who knows where overstock. Anyway here is what has been found in the past couple weeks (either by me or others on other boards):
Deluxe:
Ram Man, Clamp Champ, Buzzsaw Hordak, Battle Armour He-Man, Battle Armour Skeletor (all $5Cdn each). For those of you in the US, think of the Sorceress wave and that is how Canadians feel about the Ram Man/Clamp Champ wave showing up AGAIN!!!!! We can't seem to escape those two ever in Canada.
Sorceress/Jitsu wave. Of course this wave shows up some more, even though it wasn't as abundant in Canada as in the US. Anyway they are starting to show up more at Dollarama (supposedly $4.50Cdn)
One, trusted, report so far about the Webstor/Stinkor/LOP Beast Man/Teela as Snake Goddess wave showing up as well. Though this is just one report so far, same price as the Sorceress wave.
I've been to like five or six different Dollaramas in the city on a few occasions now and I have not been able to find a single MOTU item that isn't from the kids' show line. Very disappointing, as a lot of figures showing up are ones that I or my son would like to have but were never able to find locally.
BBTS delivered wave two of the cartoon collection so I finally opened all four figures. I’d been sitting on He-Man and Beast Man. I thought I knew what to expect, but didn’t realize they are a solid six inches tall when standing up straight! I kinda love the possibilities of intermingling them with other 6” lines. Always felt Classics was just a little too tall for 6”, but not quite tall enough for 7”. Masterverse are a definite 7” set of figures. But these are so clean and bold. The sculpts look soft but I think that may just be due to the semi translucent plastic. Skeletor’s face looks to be affected the most in this way. Would have benefitted from paint separating the upper and lower teeth, as is, they blend together. I cannot wait for Teela and Trap Jaw. I would consider getting a second Teela to fudge into my Classics Filmation collection since she’s the one main cast member I don’t have.
Pretty disappointed that all the cartoon inspired Origins I've been getting from Amazon are the EU cards. Hopefully the US version comes into stock soon
I did it. I walked out of Dollarama with a 5-dollar deluxe Hordak for my son. Pretty excited about that. I haven't given it to him yet. It'll help soften the blow that my BBTS order containing Ninjor (also for my son) has been... temporarily misplaced... by CanadaPost.

Welcome to the MOTU:O Dollarama club. Hordak is not a bad start.
I'm still on the hunt for the Webstor wave as I haven't seen it yet, but I'm hoping there is a lot of stock still to come to all locations.
@canprime To be honest, I don't have high hopes for ever finding anything else. Even this $5 Hordak probably used up $60 in fuel, or more, to find. Not to mention a few hours of my time. Now, to be fair, I don't pay for my fuel and I can get away with doing a lot of my own errands on company time. But still. If it took that long and that much hunting to find one figure...
Still, Hordak was the one my son wanted most out of what's being found, so that's a good get and I won't sweat it too much if I don't see anything else out there. But if I happen across Webstor, Stinkor, or Buzz-Off for 5 bucks or less, I'm definitely getting them.
That being said.. Hordak kind of sucks. Haha. He has a lot of joint looseness, and the hinge on his action feature is SO tight that the shooting mechanism doesn't actually work unless you open up the chest first. If I had paid Canadian retail price for this figure, I'd actually be pretty miffed. For 5 bucks? Whatever. I can fix all of it, if I ever get around to it. Doesn't seem to bother the kiddo, though, so it's not high on my list of stuff to do.
My stupid BBTS package is still apparently misplaced by CanadaPost. I'm hoping it gets here before the weekend. My son and I are waiting for Ninjor to get here before we bring down Snake Mountain and Grayskull and bust out the big box of Origins figures for another mega battle on the floor. I really wanted to do it alongside watching the first episode of the new cartoon, but CanadaPost went ahead and ruined that for us.
@theknightdamien Yeah Buzzsaw Hordak is a bit underwhelming. However, as you said, for $5 it will do and your kiddo enjoys it so even better.
Yeah I don't want to think about the cost of gas, but thankfully almost all my Dollarama hunts are when I am already out running errands, chauffering (the kids/wife), etc. etc. So I would already be using the gas anyway. At least that is what I tell myself.
I'm still on the hunt for a Snake Mountain. I may just bite the bullet and get one from Amazon.com and pay the markup for exchange and shipping from the US. I had hoped it would show up in greater quantities after Christmas, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
I did recently go back and play a bit with some of my Origins figures. Mostly just mixing and matching parts for different looks/characters and I forgot how much fun it was to be able to just simply switch out parts, rather than "customizing" from different figures that requires a bit more effort.
Got Ninjor from BBTS today. I've barely looked at him because my son has had him (it's his figure, after all) but he's as expected. Great update. One thing that will never stop infuriating me about this line is random loose joints. It seems like every other figure I own has some problem here or there. With Ninjor it's his right knee joint. Not the actual hinge, but the swivel. It's just spinning meat and makes it impossible for him to stand or even hold a pose for more than a few seconds before it looks like He-Man showed up and busted Ninjor's leg over that gambling debt.
Don't know if I'm just super unlucky or if regular loose joints is just a common problem with this line. It's just so random and I think that's what's the most frustrating. You never know when you'll get a figure with a random joint so loose it doesn't even function, or a joint so tight it doesn't move without feeling like it will break (my BA Skeletor is really bad for this).
Just please, please let me have Extendar and Rio Blast. And maybe finally release a regular version of New Adventures He-Man.
Dude! Moaty the Moat Monster gets his own packaging.
