Yeah, it was a weird situation to be stood in the Entertainer yesterday looking at all the TF's I don't own and having no interest in buying them because they were all BW updates.
I really hope that BW is selling, because I'm gonna feel so guilty if it doesn't.

There is that. I just think the originals are so good there's no need for more.

Oh they are. The new figures will be good for posing for photos and the like, but really, the originals are, in most cases, the superior toy.
Which is how I've been able to resist buying MotU figures so far (to drag this thread screaming back on point) - I know these look nice, but will I actually have much fun or will they just sit around? Especially since it wouldn't be my primary collection. I picked up a load of Star Wars toys when the Entertainer was clearacing the Black Series/TFA/TLJ lines, but I don't do much with them and now they just sit in boxes - I fear the same fate would await any Masters figures. So I'll just get a Revelations Battle Cat for my William Stout He-Man to ride, and a Revelations Teela to go with since I think that'd be an interesting match. And other than that I'll just have a very carefully curated collection of characters I might actually want on my shelves.
If I had shelves to put toys on.

I finally got the Origins ScareGlow figure I ordered from Amazon back in October. I had to open him as the packaging was damaged in transit. The glowing gimmick (unlike the Comic-Con Revelation figure) is spectacular and really does glow!

I'm making lists. That's definitely a danger sign. Any vehicles and I'm really in trouble.

I had a vehicle in my tiny childhood He-Man collection but I think it was a Battle Ram. That and a handful of figures swept away by the arrival of the Cybertronians.

The Battle Ram is very nice and the one I wanted for years but in hand the Attack Trak..... it just has to be seen.

I think a childhood friend had an Attack Trak. Never any batteries in it, so we just pushed it along. Still kinda mesmerising.

Every time someone mentions the Attack Track , I hear the music that always played when it was moving in the cartoon.
There should be a toy that plays this when it operates. But that would mean a motorised action figure toy and who ever heard of such a thing in this day and age...

Nah, kids these days don't want things that move when you press a button, they want a toy that does nothing unless you fork out for an expensive accessory that gives it sounds if you hold it right or an app that it can interface for about five minutes until you get bored! *looks at the dead Star Wars line, then looks at the Scraplet pushing a button to make a toy go and chasing it around his pen incessantly* Yep, no interest in that sort of thing at all.

New Adventures characters executed in Origins style would be awesome.

I know some Spanish website had lots of MOTU Origins future releases leaked on it a month ago, and I see these are now listed on Zavvi along with some I don't recall seeing.
I just saw a listing for Origins Stridor. Yes He-Mans horse is getting an Origins release, so that will also mean that Night stalker should get a release being a simple repaint.
The other two figures I have noticed for the first time listed as Flying Fist He-man and Terror Claw Skeletor.
So these listed figures are:
Sun-Man, Anti-Eternia He-Man, Horde Trooper, Buzz OFf, Jitsu, Clawful, Another Stratos *maybe in the reversed coloured wing and harness from the already released version) and The Sorceress (I am going to assume in Filmation colours).
Interesting there isn't a Grizzlor there considering his mould exists and is being used in a Power-Con set, but maybe he and the robot suit will be further down the line.

Yes we need a Slushhead. He is my favourite character from the New Adventures show. I did manage to get Classics New Adventures Skeletor and Flogg on ebay earlier in the year, but still looking for a reasonably priced Slushhead to complete the trio of terribleness.

Can I blame Andy for this?
I paid more for this figure that I would have liked, but given some of the prices for MOTU classics figures still unopened, it probably was a steal. It helped that I had £17.50 with of unused Nectar points that helped.

Gosh that origins collection looks amazing. Playsets! Vehicles! Wish I'd got in on that from the start.

Yes. Yes you should have.
The only figures/vehicles I don't have from that photo are the Wind Raider, Buzzsaw Hordak and The Rise Of Evil two pack of Keldor and Kronis. But I do have that two pack on the way from the U.S. at this very moment. I haven't bitten on the Wind Raider yet due to it tending to be £32.99 when I have seen it, when I got the Landshark for £22.31 and £15.76 brand new. I really should sell the spare one on, and use those funds towards the Wind Raider.
I am in too deep people. I am in the rabbit hole.

Yes he was. The good news is that Smyths seem to have plenty in stock at the moment, but the bad news is they have gone up in price since they first arrived. They were £79.99 earlier in the year, but thanks to the post Brexit and Covid etc, they are now £89.99.
Maybe worth waiting to see if Smyths have the £10 off every £50 (excluding anything video game related and some other exceptions) spend this September. It was cancelled last year but no idea what is happening this year.

I doesn't look like any have them in stock, but if you have a Smyths that still has a Stratos or Tri-Klops buried somewhere, they are now £5 and £7 each.

It's kind of something just seeing them on display in shops!
My local Müller here in Berlin the other day had the Lords of Power figures, Fisto, Battle Armour He-Man, all the vehicles, Panthor, Grayskull, and a few wave one figures. All that old school packaging really threw me back a few decades!
(I bought Fisto, may have to go back for LoP Mer-Man)

Wow. To see a display in a shop with lots of figures, vehicles and a play set. My word it's been a long time since I've seen that!
