The big cats just needed articulated paws to make the leg articulation worthwhile.

Hopefully in a few months Hasbro will show Mattel how to do Big Cat properly

I originally had an Origins Scareglow, but passed on to someone who needed it more than I did.
Aside from that, the only Origins I have bought were a couple of the WWE Crossover toys. I have The Fiend and Mr T!
Eternia Minis are great! Not sure what has been happening since Wave 2. The mini Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain countainers are fun for painting.

Where did you find the WWE MOTU figures from? They seem to be like gold dust and are expensive on ebay. I am still hoping the eventaully show up in Smyths after I saw the Stephaine, Kane, Warrior and Goldberg wave listed on the system when I went on furlough on the 3rd January, but they have yet to show up on the website.
I did pick up a Panthor on Monday so it is nice ot have in one hand. I have had R.E.D. Megatron on it, but not Skeletor as of yet.

Browsed the shelves of my local Toymaster on the way back from church. Felt duty-bound to buy something to support local jobs. The MotU shelf had Origins Battle-Cat, Orko and Scare Glow (which I don't particularly want) and Skeletor (which I already have). So I didn't buy any. It was good to see Scare Glow in the plastic just for confirmation that he's rubbish and not to be bought. I bought some Horror Top Trumps for a fiver and a mini Black Widow statue for £12. Hmmm, I see it's £8 on Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/Schleich-21505-Marvel-Black-Figure/dp/B01MF71E09Still... supporting the local economy! Martin

When I got Scare Glow delivered last year I didn't know or understand at the time why this character was released so early in the line, but no I know it is a cult figure that the OG version is highly sort after and very pricey. The glow in the dark feature is really great on the figure. Here is a comparison I took with Scare Glow and the Super & Transformation He-Man.

Ruddy Nora... 700 pages! Too big for a coffee table book, Flipping through would take ages, It'd be a pain taking a quick look.
The synopsis states it's written by a YouTube influencer. I'm not sure the demographic care about such things, and if you need to state that someone's an influencer, they probably aren't.

I'm sure he is, but my issue is the use of the term influencer. Is their content really going to dictate trends from toy manufacturers or just cause minor sales blips?

The term 'influencer' here has been misapplied, Perhaps Marketing's tongue was tied?

Roger Ramjet, he's our man. But not as good as Pixel Dan. Yet best of all I have to rave Is influencer Pixel Dave.

I've been keeping an eye on it, waiting for a bit of a price drop before ordering as the RRP is a bit much (at least, over here). I got the art book when it dropped to around €25, and it's a beautifully produced volume, a bigger, chunkier hardcover than I was expecting.

Oh the art book is fantastic, yeah. I'm just not sure I'm that interested in the toy photography.

I accessed the system at work yesterday to see what MOTU figures would be due in, and I was surprised to see the Revelations figures currently have a price of £32.99. When they were first announced I did see Toysarama in the UK at the time have them listed at £24.99, as Zavvi does currently with a pre-order Skeletor. That is a massive £8 difference. Will the prices match up closer nearer the time, or could this be more of those wonderful Brexit costs? www.zavvi.com/merch-action-figures/mattel-masters-of-the-universe-revelation-masterverse-action-figure-skeletor/12880454.htmlThough they are listed as "Revelations Large Scale Figure" so I assume they are the 7" figures and not some larger ones that I am not aware of yet. Edit: While Toysarama have removed their listings for the Revelations line a while ago, I do see Zavvi have more figures listed for pre-order for £24.99, along with na overzised Skeletor for £34.99. so hopefully the figures shwoing in MSyths for £32.99 are these oversized figures and not the standard figure price. www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?search=Masters+of+the+Universe%3A+Revelation

Well, that spoiler Skeletor is certainly a design, but it still doesn't top the movie; they're trying too hard to be serious fantasy, and not just embracing the ridiculousness that is at the heart of this line. Ah well. This line isn't for me, anyway, but hopefully those who collect Legends/Black Series-type figures will like it. Whilst I sit in the corner bitterly moaning about the lack pf Princesses of Power figures. Yes, still.
That said, if I can find one I will pick up a Battle Cat - he looks really good, and potentially better articulated than the Origins version. He'll probably also work quite well with Movie He-Man...
