Looks like Mattel is getting MTO Grizzlors in batches. People keep posting on Facebook and TFW that Grizzlor is shipping while a lot of others still don't have an update.Originally Posted by Dice

Yeah, confirmed to me in an email when I asked about Wun-Dar. Monthly batches they said, which is why there's a handful of folks still receiving Frog Monger!
Grizzlor is coming to Spain! Now I only need a Leech.
Yeah I got my two Frog Mongers months apart, but still much faster than most people. And I haven't heard a peep about my Wun-Dar.

Frog Monger got shipping jacked up by the Lunar New Year, and I would guess MTO figures had very high production numbers. So shipping them in batches along with all the other MOTU stuff is probably the only way to keep, as close as possible to normal distribution. Or try and get distribution back to normal in time for the holidays.

It'd be an idea to outright state it because it's bad enough watching them split even two items into separate parcels a month apart, never mind 3 or more items. When there's video reviews of X from like 4 months previously and you haven't received yours... you'd think they'd do it just to minimise hours wasted answering emails!
My Grizzlies are on the way too! A great surprise to wake up to!
Any news of the future of the line, no more retail? Wave 15 only filmation style?, what happen with the rest of te vintage line
We should be getting a crap-ton of news semi-shortly, what with Power-Con, SDCC, and Toy Fair all on the way.
( it is hard to be patient, though )

Odd Man Out
I just got a text from FedEx. I have a 2.2 lbs package coming from Jonestown, PA, arriving on Monday... Could be my Grizzlor figures, but Mattel still says "unfulfilled"

Just got a Grizzlor shipping notice as well.
Interesting to hear how the shipping is staggered / in batches with Mattel Creations – I’m also still waiting for my Mega Eternia. I ordered it within six minutes of the release!
BBTS also doesn’t get enough to satisfy all their preorders, and the second shipment comes months later. Still waiting for Dragon Blaster, Snake Face, and New Eternia Faker from them.
I sometimes can’t decide right away which figures I want, and I find it kinda stressful that you have to order *right the first second* it goes up, otherwise you might wait for 3 months longer than others 😑 Find this a bit stressful and confusing.
Mega Eternia is a pre-order that ships in August.
If you have a free FedEx account, you should be able to log in and check the advance shipment tracking on their site, and you will see your Mattel order number so you will know what shipped.
I’ve seen German fans have it already, but turns out they ordered from the the Mattel Germany website 🤔 Must have confused that with the .org here… could have sworn sone people had it already 😅
I have no problem waiting for the release date usually, but often stuff shows up beforehand– though only for a few lucky ones. That gets me impatient then.
Yeah the tower hasn't shipped from Mattel Creations yet. They have absolutely no rhyme or reason to the order in which they ship stuff out. You could order something in the first minute and receive it dead last, or you could order days later after it drops and be the very first to get it.
I did not see that, but I got the email from Mattel, and mine and my daughter's Grizzlors are shipping.

SDCC is a few weeks away. Last year Mattel had a great presence and revealed a lot. I hope they do the same again this year.
I'm hoping for reveals of The Slime Pit, Fright Zone, and Crystal Castle for 2024. Not entirely unreasonable, since last SDCC (and the months following) we had reveals of a crowd-funded Eternia, Snake Mountain and Point Dread.
Check out my current ebay auctions for loose complete 200X Teela, vintage Fisto & Clawful, 200X Rattlor, MOC Origins Lords Of Power Mer-Man, loose Club Grayskull Kittrina, various Origins mini-comics, MIB ReAction He-Man/Battle Cat & Skeletor/Panthor sets, vintage Mattel toy catalogs featuring MOTU, NA and more!

I think its unlikely. Snake Mountain is not even out yet. But last year they exceeded expectations. It would be great if they do it again.
The reveals you mention where from events spanning over half a year.
I imagine MoTU's SDCC reveals will mainly be about the turtle cross-over and filmation figures, but I'm hoping for one or two additional surprises - any kind of sign/reassurance than vintage figures are still planned/coming would be sweet
Its unclear if TNMT/Filmation are going to be the only releases. As you say, it would be nice if they will also continue with some regular Origins too.
I think we have chances for seeling what are Deluxe figures.
I think we'll see the Filmation figures and the TMNT ones.
Also Wave 15 - Lord Gr'Asp, Terroar, Infiltrator and one other, hopefully Sy-Klone or Two Bad
I think we will see a vehicle - probably Bashasaurus or Battle Bones as they have been teased numerous times.
I'm not expecting a Playset, but the Slime Pit with a pack in Slime Pit He-Man would be so welcome!
MOTU Origins Wishlist: Oo-Larr, Karg, Lady Slither, Fang-Or, Goat-Man, Movie He-Man & Skeletor, Hawke, Slamurai, Shadow Weaver, Lodar, Snake Face, Geldor, Lord Gr'Asp, Strobo
