Now all we need is Hasbro to do the same with the original Transformers and my dream of G1 Tweaked shall come to pass!

But a lot of Generations in recent years are just G1 but with more articulation ie Sixshot.

Toy Man at Arms should not have a moustache. This is unacceptable to me.

That's because they based them on the toys and the early mini-comics. I think the cartoon was in production at the time, but I doubt DC had access to anything.

I am with Andu. Toy Man-At-Arms does not have a moustache. He also didn't have one in the UK comic, which I still wish would get some reprints.
Good to see the new She-Ra show finally get a toy-line but shakes head it's just for Target stores.
Not sure about this Origins line. The headsculpts seem off and I don't see the point when Super 7 are already doing a retro line which looks very similar. However, I am sure they will look better in person and if they end up in actual shops over here (in a year!!!) I will be all over them.

How about a Man-At-Arms toy with 3 differnt heads. Classic clean shaven look, moustache and MY2002 ponytail. Something for everyone.
Looking forward to the Masters of the WWE Universe crossover line. The Man-E-NewDay figure and Castle Greyskull wrestling ring has already won this over for me!

I lovingly painted a moustache on my original Man At Arms and he has never shaved it since! I like the way that Stranglehold sort of did a backwards homage to Man At Arms not-moustache.

Had an email from Super7 a couple of days ago notifying me that the William Stout figures would arrive at some time in November. NOVEMBER?!? I mean, fair enough, it's August now, so that's not that far off. My main concern is that given this'll be post-Brexit, that they won't be able to make it into the country. Or if they do the Non-Patriotic Overseas Purchase Tax (or whatever they'll introduce) will be sky high. Well. Skyer higher than normal.
As to the She-Ra figures, I'm so glad that they've FINALLY put some merchandise out. I do wish that the figures had been less dolls, and more standard action figures in the He-Man (and indeed original She-Ra toy) style 5-6 inch range. Just for collecting purposes. But I'm sure I'll pick some of these up anyway, from my local Targ- OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Gah. Looking through He-Man.org, I find this information:
GAH. Have Mattel learned NOTHING? (I think we know the answer to that.)
Just as well we'll never have to worry about it, on account of we're never getting them.

To be fair this might not be a problem.
Wave 1 - She-Ra should be the big seller. IF we get this in the second wave onwards then yes they are doing their usual thing.

Okay, fair point. She is the title character and this is a new line. As you say, later waves will tell...

Post by The Doctor on Aug 4, 2019 11:22:48 GMT
Later waves will be dominated by She-Ra variants. Mark my words.

Oh I think that will happen as well, but the case assortment just now does actually make sense.
