What the heck? It's kinda crazy, ludicrous and awesome at the same time:

I'm not into WWE, not since when I was a teen, but man some of these are a must have for me!Last edited by Mechanizor; 07-19-2019, 12:50 AM.Comment

Hands on look at the MOWWEU figures:

Well, interesting, to say the least. A few of them would mix in well with MOTU. Definitely some cool possibilities for customizing."We must always value life. Even the life of one who opposes us." ― He-ManComment

@ the 9:28 mark, I wish I could actually hear what Trips said and also that helmet would make a cool playset.
Kofi totally marked out and was speechless. ????“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” ~Bertrand RussellComment

I don't know who Kofi (a wrestler?) is, but I'm very happy for him seeing his incarnation as my one of my favorite characters of all time! -
Mech, yes Kofi is a wrestler. Not that I really follow wrestling any more, but I do remember reading over on the fwoosh some time ago that Kofi is the once wore a Battle Cat themed outfit at a pay per view (maybe even a Skeletor themed one once too?) so I think it’s safe to say he’s a MOTU fan, so he’d probably be more stoked than any other wrestler to be represented in this lineLast edited by Croc-O-Bite!; 07-21-2019, 09:35 PM. -
That makes sense, he mentioned that he was a fan of the property in that video after all. :-)

So Bill Benekie said these mashups will be ready for this Christmas.
I wonder why the year delay for Origins. I would think these two lines selling at the same time would help promote each other when factoring in the customization possibilities.
It’s not like they’re waiting for the movie, as that has a 2021 tentative release date.Comment

Also, why announce the Origins line now when you have more than a year to launch it?!... I hope this new line won't lose momentum (I'm referring to the adult collectors here) by the time of its launching date.

Mech, this is what I was referring to in my comment in the post above...

Thanks Croc... I wonder if Kofi portrayed as a villain or as a hero in that wrestling world?!... Yeah I know, I can look him up, maybe later on. :manefaces:
I wish none of these figures will come with any "English" language text on their outfits like Randy Savage's Macho-Man, but probably they will!Comment

Thanks Andy for the info... It's cool to know celebrities also collect plastic toys, aside from the common fancy cars, watches and vintage musical instruments! -
If I remember correctly, Cone said Miz was a big fan of MotU too..then of course Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins (the hosts, also wrestlers) are serious figure nerds including MotU. I also think I read somewhere that Finn Balor is a toygeek but not sure if he's into MotU...

I was wondering the same thing. I mean...I could understand it if this line was based on the movie,then they'd understandably want the line released closer to the film. But this is a "regular" line.Originally posted by Mechanizor View Post

So in case you didn't know...
Kofi Kingston is a member of a team called the New Day. The other members include Xavier Woods & Big E Langston, they have a move called the unicorn stomp hence all of the unicorns in their theme. Anyways when you twist the unicorn horn you get all three faces of the New Day.

I think that they are kind of using this line to pay for the tooling of the Masters Origins line, since WWE already is a proven seller at retail.
My guess is that the delay on Masters at retail is tied to hoping to have a movie about ready to go in 2021.Comment
