For now, this is exclusive to SDCC. If there is any leftover inventory after SDCC, we will announce it here on our social media pages where you can purchase it!
It would be nice if Mattel made some Thundercats using the new articulated MOTU origins body style.
Yeah, tell me about it, those Funko 5.5 figures really burned me. Every single one I bought except for Zor had fragile cheap legs.

I bought them from a seller on ebay who had 5 in hand ready to ship. 159.00 dollars later and boom its in my hands. I got the last one he had I believe not sure if he has more have no idea how he got his hands on them either, must work for Mattel? But back to the figures, they are nice. very sturdy. You know the feeling when you open a figure and it makes you want to freak out like Beavis used to until Butthead would tell him to settle down, that was me. These are the He man figures I always dreamed of but never thought anyone would make.
The joints are smooth and decently tight.
All of the articulation works great.
Most every piece is cast in the color of plastic it was intended. except eyes, teeth, wrist guards, furry tuff on hemans boot
The power sword is all one color of metallic plastic the axe and shield are molded in a darker grey.
I prefer the Alcala heads over the vintage heads for sure.
The knife in heman's boot is kinda weird but it actually goes down in the boot even if it warps the blade a bit.
The power sword fits nicely in he-mans harness which is removable on the back with one little red square peg.
The detail on adams vest is nice makes me want more cloth goods on these figures.
The packaging is possible the best I have ever seen on any figure hands down. simply amazing.
If I had to complain about anything it might be the knee articulation, seems a little odd but it does work and the joints are decently tight so I'm ok with it.
The hands swap easily without fear of breaking the pegs.
If the other figures in this line are near as awesome as these two are this line is gonna be amazing.
I know what everyone will be thinking," is this guy bull sharting us." I don't blame anyone for doubting my review, but trust me I don't believe I got them either it still blowing my mind. Of course I paid a hefty price more than three times the con asking price for it. Would I advise anyone else to spend this kind of money on the set? Well if you could get them in the next week of so but if it would drag on till the middle of July then probably just wait on a 100 dollar set on Ebay to ship sometime in August. Heck I got another set on pre order myself that I purchased before I found this 159.00 dollar deal. No I have not tried to put him on the vintage battlecat or classics battlecat either but I know just by looking at his legs he could ride either.
I give this set 10 stars out of 10.
Thanks for the review. Great to hear about the joints overall on this figure, was a little concerned that they might be a little fragile.
The package does look awesome, hopefully I can get a good deal down the road on this set.

That exclusive is amazing!!! I will not be able to grab one im sure, but thats ok im waiting on my Super7 vintage Orko from BBTS anyways. Wish I could find a release date other than June for him tho...
Really do want the SDCC 2-pack, unfortunately I would have to attend the 'con if I pre-ordered today on their site. Hopefully Mettal knows of the demand and makes a little more available to the general public non attendees.

ha exactly!

they are better because they have more articulation than those

Details such as those has deterred me from collecting vintage toys, especially when most completed or like new MOTU vintage are now just as pricey as the classics line. This new Origins toy line seems like a good starting point for me & possibly other younger collectors.
Actually theres a fan created replacement connectors you can buy now to repair those vintage MOTU legs. These are rubber pieces identical to the original and it allows you to repair those legs with out damaging or altering the figures. The fans who make them are down in Argentina and sell them through eBay. After watching some reviews for them online I bought a pack. They work great although threading them through the crotch piece and getting them fully embedded into the second leg takes some effort (and Roboto was particularly tricky although I still got it to work).
