Not for sale yet, but the Roton listing is up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XQQG12T
This seems unlikely...The vehicle is 28 inches long and emits buzzsaw clicks and spins when pushed forward on its rolling wheels!
How so?

Unless they've upgraded the Roton to be a people carrier, 28 inches is waaaaaay out of scale with Origins figures.
Looks like they updated it:
Item Dimensions LxWxH 8.66 x 8.66 x 8.5 inches
[S]Yean they must have gotten the description from the MOTUC Roton?[/S] Nope that's more than twice the size to the MOTUC Roton... The box dimensions wont allow for anything close to that big.

Keep reading. It's in the Product Description.

I think they're accidentally giving the packaging dimension.
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
I don't see it why a toy that's 8 x 8 x 8 would be in a package over 2 feet long. By looking at the in box picture and assuming the roughly 9 inch cubed Roton we can estimate the box is no more that 12 inches long, 18 inches tall and maybe 10 inches deep. That 28 inches has got to be a typo.

Yeah, they had to have mistakenly put a "2" in front of that 8...twice.
I don't know but again just going by the ~8.5 inches the listing says the Roton is that box can only be about a foot long and just as tall, including the flap. the first 2 could be Mettle's mistake while the second is Amazon copying that mistake.
Typo's are bound to happen

Nice, solid figures.
Would highly recommend this wave!

Vote with your wallet.
Companies will stop predatory business practices when we stop rewarding it and scrabbling for the newest shiny like brain-damaged junkies.
Am I the only one noticing that 200x He-Man's torso piece is a slightly more pinkish tone than his head and limbs? I thought it was just the sample in the official stock pics, but all other pics of it I've seen are like that
The torso is slightly discoloured, yes. Very minor though and only really noticeable in bright sunlight.

Oh, good I thought only I saw it.
So, how do you think they'll do -
a) Stonedar and Rokkon? Will they be released at the same time? Take both spots in Deluxe? What would even comic be about then?
b) Titus and Megator? Man, that duo must be more forgotten than Rotar and Twistoid. They often forgotten because they're not technically part of the main line but they were actually released so they don't have the status of legend like He-Ro and Eldor. Deluxe? Not part of the Waves, something more like Battle Cat? Exclusive?
I think they'll do them 1 of 2 ways. Either they'll be "beasts," like Battle Cat/Panthor or they'll get released with detached boots like Andre the Giant.
I'm hoping they choose the former, as it would mean they'd be a bit bigger.
I guess it's also possible they'd crowdfund full-size versions on MattelCreations, but they haven't made much use of crowdfunding so far, so I'm not optimistic.
A) both in one wave, probably as deluxe figures. That way the mini comic can be about their arrival on Eternia.Oh, good I thought only I saw it.

B) as creatures probably disassembled in a windowless box.

I think Titus might be MotWWE Andre with a headswap? It'd be surprising if they made that upscaled buck and didn't make further use of it.

I wasn't terribly stoked on the 200X variants when they were first revealed, but now that online photos and reviews are popping up- I have to say, these look pretty amazing. Seeing them together... I can imagine these as a set that Mattel would have put out as a SDCC exclusive paying tribute to the 200X era in an alternate universe. But instead we get to have them at an easier to swallow retail price (not to mention, hopefully, easier to get hands on than a would-be SDCC set... LOL!).
Looking for any specific Classics figures? Let me know via PM what you might be looking for and I'll look through some boxes and see if we can help each other out!
This wave disappears within a very short time of arriving at collector shops here. Bought mine at like 5AM n by noon they were outta stock.
I guess lotsa folks here loved 200X.

You're probably right. In a perfect world, we would get the 'giants' at twice that size, but these days? I just don't see Mattel making big, new molds for 'minor' characters.

It makes me wonder if Mattel will visit 200X again with other characters like Man at Arms, Beast Man, Teela, Tri-Klops, etc....

Odd Man Out
The Teela in the pack with Zoar is the Origins version of 200X Teela.
When will the Whiplash/Randor pre-orders go up?
