I like the look of the origins She-Ra with the vintage tiara and belt/skirt.

[zodak74]

She nailed it on the issue of color for origins. They look cheap. Way to bright.

I prefer the brightness.
As much as I loved Classics, I was always annoyed by the toning down of the hues on certain characters. Or the dark washes on certain figures. Origins reminds me about what I loved about the line in the first place... the amazing color palette.

Beast Man weirdly has darker than vintage armor, I'm not sure why. His face paint is also less than ideal. I do like the skin tone on the new retail Mer-Man though.

Right there with you! I love the bright colors!

I think the muted colors on Classics worked for that line. It was meant to be more "realistic." For that scale and type of sculpt, subtlety worked better, in my opinion. The 5.5" scale figures should always be more vibrant, imo.

Is there a thread already for Power-Con 2021? I clicked through the next pages of the forum but couldn’t find anything. Unfortunately the search function is still broken, too.

But since the first teasers of Power-Con Exclusives 2020 were shown over a year ago, maybe we‘ll see the first glimpses of Power-Con Exclusives 2021 shortly? The Power-Con social media channels are very active lately also, so I think something is imminent.

Well my PowerCon LoP 5 pack arrived today and..............underwhelmed.

Packaging held together with clear tape, skew corners and the general cheapness of the display box has me fuming. Even the packaging of the $15 retail Origins figures feel and look better put together.

Massively disappointed.

I thought the display box was the best thing going for it other than the figures being in collectors hands for the first time.
Hopefully you'll warmup to it. Do you like the figures?

[horseman1981]

Really. Man I love mine. I still have it on my mantle in my living room. I loved showing my son the set while watching the grayskull documentary on Netflix again. Could it have been a better display box....sure. I think it goes quite high on the market now, so anyone unhappy with it could probably almost double your money.

It would be really cool if one of the exclusives was from the Masterverse line.

Yeah, the dark red harness on the retail Origins Beast Man really annoys me. It should have been the color that the Power-Con Beast Man harness is.

Not yet. I'm waiting until I have some concrete to post.

Great! I‘m looking forward to it.

So with Masterverse looking much less desirable than I had hoped, what are the odds that Mattel lets Classics and Club Grayskull continue through Power-Con?

Mattel did a wonderful job with Horde Zombie He-man and the Slamurai/Snake Troopers pack.

Could we see a Classics figure or two each year at Power-Con? (probably along side Origins and Dad bod/Masterverse exclusives.)

Club Grayskull Ram Man and single carded Classics Battle Armor Faker for 2021!

Any sort of Classics representation would be amazing and be huge hit with a lot of the fandom...

I'd take Disco Skeletor repaint in MOTU Classics at this point. Any Classics release would be amazing to me, but I just don't see it happening at this point.

Also, I really don't think that the only style of figure to appear in MASTERVERSE: THE EVOLUTION OF HE-MAN, will be Revelation figures. I believe that it will be a DC Multiverse type line and we'll see different eras represented over the life span of this toyline.

I would love for more Classics to be made via Power Con, but I don't think it's going to happen. At least, not as long as Origns and Masterverse are around. For Mattel, Power Con is a marketing opportunity to promote their curent MOTU products. They are currently making Orings and soon Masterverse for collectors, and that is what they'll likely offer.

I think Mattel saying Classics is "on hiatus" is a bunch of hot air at this point. IF it ever comes back, it will be after Origins and Masterverse are over, and may only come back through a company like Super7. I don't get the impression Mattel has any desire to do anything more with Classics, as much as it pains me to say that.
