I am surprised by cheap amazon originally had Snake Mountain for, considering Castle Grayskull was £80 when it showed up, so I was expecting a £80-£100 price range. It is now showing as temporarily unavailable but last night it was £60.59 and then earlier today also £71.59, both prices were available at the sale time from Amazon EU seller. So will Amazon honour all the orders at £60.59? I guess we shall see, but I wouldn't be surprise if these all get cancelled by Amazon. Amazon did honour that price. Though the timing of the taking of cash and dispatch is not ideal as things are too tight for toys, but Snake Mountain is on it's way. Edit: It has arrived. Though I was very surprised that it arrived as shown in the photo, and not in it's original brown shipping box, especially as it was sent from Belgium.  |

Fang-Or has arrived from Creations. I always open these Creations deliveries with some trepidation given the horror stories you hear about the wrong stuff being in the box, but all is good. Pleased to find this is another with the slide out backing card rather than sealed bubble. More of this kind of thing.

It was undamaged in the box, so I was happy with how it turned out. I have heard of issues with the trap door, but no idea what they are, but mine worked perfectly out of the box. The stickers are terrible quality though. They seem to be really bad AI upscales of the original 80's and had all the details sucked out. It is a good update of the original playset that does have some more features. Pictures below stolen from twitter. I won't call it by the letter. Origins Sticker  Vintage  Origins  Vintage  |

£30. Fuck me. Origins pulled me back in to MOTU because it was amazing to get figures for £15.
But the hikes is why I walked away. Got too expensive (and increasingly locked behind Exclusives Pay Walls). Shame.
Still after a Snake Mountain though.

It'll be interesting to know by which route this is coming to Europe. That price suggests something unusual going on.

Interesting. So those last four Origins are Creations ones, and the six cartoon ones are wave 1 and 2 next year?
The Skeletor coming on Friday sure does look a lot like that one. I'm not sure it's worth the price.

Alright, the PR details the what and where for those:
We are also updating our wave cadence in 2024, so in addition to 2 new Cartoon Collection characters in each wave, we will also have 1 Fan-Favorite reissue per wave to give everyone a second opportunity to fill those gaps in their collections. Fans can also expect more waves this year than in years previous.
In addition to mainline offerings, we are releasing several fun exclusives you can find at the below retailers. At Target we’re partnering with the Stranger Things crew to unveil a killer collaboration
straight from the upside down – Skeletor and the Demogorgon! Completionists will also be able to find previous fan-desired characters we’re bringing back like Trap Jaw and King Randor. And lastly more Snake Men are joining the fray at Walmart, including a character many eagle-eyed fans may recognize from packaging – the Necro-Conda!
Retailer Exclusives:
• Specialty Stores: Fan Favorites King Randor, Ninjor, Webstor, Trap Jaw
• Walmart: Snake Men Lord Gra’sp, Terroar, Necro-Conda
• Target: Skeletor x Demogorgon 2-Pack
So three figures per wave but more of them and the usual bunfight to try and get the Walmart ones.
Lady Slither arrived today. Fancy packaging, lovely deluxe figure.

Of all of those I think I only have an interest in that Movie Evil-Lyn - although I beleive she's going to be a "Specialty Stores" exclusive, too, so chances are high that I'll never actually get her.

I notice the Skeletor pack on Creations hasn't sold out yet. That must be the longest an Origins figure has lasted. An indication perhaps that the Filmation figures won't be as popular? It may have some bobbins figure with it, but this is a legit variant of the retail Skeletor with extra accessories. Hmm.

I was just looking to see if I could work out what's coming in this line that we know about to see if I could figure out the smaller waves but more of them bit. BBTS's preorder dates and the product codes help (EE's ones are similar but a couple of months after). I think the waves are: | Cartoon He-Man | HYD17 | 15 | 11/2023 | | Cartoon Beast Man | HYD18 | 15 | 11/2023 | | Re-issue Mer-Man | | 15 | 11/2023 | | Cartoon Skeletor | HYD24 | 16 | 01/2024 | | Cartoon Man-at-Arms | HYD25 | 16 | | | Re-issue She-Ra | | 16 | 01/2024 | | Cartoon Teela | HYD27 | 17 | 03/2024 | | Cartoon Trap-Jaw | HYD28 | 17 | 03/2024 | | Re-issue Zodac | | 17 | 03/2024 | | Lord Gr'Asp | HYD30 | Walmart | 04/2024 | | Terroar | HYD34 | Walmart | 04/2024 | | Necro-Conda | HXH51 | Walmart | 04/2024 | | Stranger Things Skeletor & Demogorgon | HVV73 | Target | | | Night Stalker | HTM99 | Creations | | | Rokkon | HTM93 | Creations | | | Extendar | | Creations | | | Sy-Klone | | Creations | | | Re-issue King Randor | | Specialty Stores | 01/2024 | | Re-issue Ninjor | | Specialty Stores | 01/2024 | | Re-issue Webstor | | Specialty Stores | 01/2024 | | Re-issue Trap Jaw | | Specialty Stores | 01/2024 |
