New MOTU Origins reveals from Mattel!

[Mechanizor]

Someone from the other board has posted this:

This is from my contacts in the industry, posted in the speculation thread a few weeks ago-

Wave 12 (Spring 2023)

Tung Lashor
Snake Armor Skeletor
Hypno
Roboto minicomic redeco

Wave 13 (Summer 2023)

Snake Teela
Snake Trooper (not sure if this is a Snakeman army builder or a Snake Horde trooper)
Slamurai
King Randor redeco (probably 200x)

Deluxe Wave (Summer 2023)

Dragon Blaster Skeletor
Snake Face

Exclusives

Moss man (Walmart)
Infiltration Guard (Online retailers)

Even though it sounds more likely these are the correct SKUs, Mattel could change things at any given moment...

Thanks, but he got stock in Kansas so far! Assuming that what they've sent correctly...

Mattel - Masters of the sneaky wearhouse finds after predictable quick sell-outs.

Congratulations on your Wonder bread He-men

So there's reports saying that if you got the sold out image then you could've refreshed and still ordered him. Also Mega Jay Retro is saying there's going to be a secret sale from Mattel Creations on December 14th. Some are saying it's going to be Space Sumo 🙄 but who knows, maybe some previously sold out figures will show up in small amounts

a) The sold out-refresh glitch thing usually starts at the beginning of the sale, so basically at 9 AM it says "sold out", but you need to keep refreshing your page until you can add the item in your cart. This early glitch has happened in the last few sales.

b) Meg Jay is referring to the calendar, it's not really a "secret" sale, it's an event on that day (Dec 14th) that you can find it under the Shop List:

Well, you may call it a secret sale since we don't know yet what really is, LOL... A lot of speculations about it, some say it could be the Space Sumo carded that was shown at SDCC, or Frog Monger, or another Masterverse exclusive figure, or one of those "artsy fartsy" MOTU collections!

I myself hope it's MOTU Origins related items like FM, a "Snake Pack" or Powers of Grayskull/Preternia era items that go with next years theme, or a vehicle, but I won't bet on it...

EDIT: I'm watching Mega Jay's video now, and now I know what he was referring to as a "Secret Sale!... I think it was the unannounced "Black Friday/Cyber Monday" deal, where they put out a bunch of un-sold back stock of some of those exclusive "sold out" items; like the Horde Pack, Wun-Dar and such... I think they haven't announced it due to the very limited units they've kept for replacing missing shipments, defects, and whatnot...

It's very similar to the days of the MOTU Classics were a bunch of popup "sold-out" items started emerging again online and over at Big Lots and what have you, and many fans were furious about it!

And that's why MC just kept kinda silence and shoved it in there with a small banner on their site. I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of Wun-Dars and they've already been shipped and on their way... I might even cancel my Made-To-Order Wund-Dars if they allow me to do so, or re-sell them in the future!

It lasted for 30 minutes, basically at 9:30 AM PT was sold out...

[MIDOR]

Just now looking...says it's sold out.

I've managed to grab 2 Camo Khans, and it's still available while I'm posting this...

[Mechanizor]

BTW, after looking at Camo Khan's card art, I just noticed in the upper right corner a variant of the Snake Mountain with a snake face instead of the common demon face! Do you think we'll get this variant SM as a MC exclusive or as a Snake Face attachment down the road?

[Mechanizor]

Here is a concept art of the Reptilax potential figure:

[MIDOR]

Thanks. Don't think I knew that. Will have to keep that in mind.

[Mechanizor]

BTW people, on Friday Dec 2nd 9:00 AM PT Origins Camo Khan will be available to "order", because it doesn't say made-to-order or pre-order:

I hope they made enough of him...

[Andy]

I thought Fangman too but if I can read this right. (I know small and blurry) it looks like it says....

King Hiss takes advantage.
"Terror, Reptilax,
Lord G'Raasp,
Join Camo Kahn's command.
All of Eternia will fear
The DIABOLICAL SNAKES."™

Am I right? Does it say Reptilax?

[Mechanizor]

I thought he was a generic snake/lizard warrior, or from the Castle Grayskul's dungeon grate!

[MIDOR]

If I HAD to pick one it kind of looks like fang man or at least that species.

The clothing looks like you'd see on filmation clawful.

Don't quote me. I'm not an expert nor do I play one on tv

[Andy]

Who's the snake guy with the green ax and pink king hsss legs?

[Mechanizor]

If you look at this Camo Kobra Khan's upcoming art card, you could tell who/what might be coming next year, even Terroar and Lord Gra'sp are there on the right side:

Thanks for the pic. of Terrorar, Plasmar, and Lord Grasp. This is an amazing set, that I'm sure goes for big bucks these days.

I had no idea that set even existed. This is not surprising, given that I never got/collected any of the MOTU Classics figures. Though they looked great, the line was too expensive & very inaccessible for me. I also didn't like the online-only aspect; even though I buy some figures online now, I also like how the Origins & Masterverse figures are in retail stores as well.

[Mechanizor]

The new Origins Tung Lashor looks incredible - definitely getting this. I like the improved sculpt & the accessories. The tongue on this new Origins version looks slightly more durable than the original. Though, I don't think this has the "tung lashing" feature like the original. I liked all of the original Snake Men figures, and hope they're all re-made in this new Origins line.

The Terroar is a bizarre looking figure - in a good way. I like how it incorporates Whip-lash (the head/tail), Trap-Jaw (the mechanical arm), and Mosquitor's feet/boots. It's like a twisted Frankenstein-like creature that combines several other MOTU characters. Definitely getting this figure as well - unless it's a joke/prank.

- I believe all the Snakemen will make it into Origins and then some. All related Snakemen theme figures were either hinted on a box-art, or in comics/promos and/or already leaked.

- That Terroar figure was already made in Classics via a Power-Con exclusive 3-pack set, but that concept was an old one from either an early comic or a concept art.

Here is a pic of the MOTUC PC 3-Pack set:

Tung Lashor seems thin to me. If I had to pick an underrated character it would be him. The attachable tongue seems cheep.

Terr Roar, or however you spell his name, to be I'm very critical of him and others around that time. So I'm probably not going to get him.

That purple almost looks semi/partially transparent.

To me it looks more of a lavender/purple combo mix, but it would be really awesome if that lavender part is actually a translucent purple plastic!
