Its not the same. Concept art and sketches are completely different.

I guess you're right. And if you look the sketches the New Eternia line were supposed inspired, in some cases the figures barely resembled their inspirations.

Not my cup of tea really, but I love seeing that they are continuing to expand the line.

I love this, both of these look really fun, and I really want them, although I don't do two of any character in my collection, these guys look significantly different, enough that I will get them and pretend they are just other characters.

Hopefully this wont be hard to get, I like the figures and really dig the box art.

But Mattel is definitely trying to stretch out this line as long as they can.

Even though I like all this stuff this is 100% accurate. I do love that Powers of Grayskull toys that never got figures are available now, and I would look forward to a MOTUO He-Ro; But wasnt it beginning of 23 it seemed to all be winding down and wrapping the OG characters? Things change I guess.

We still dont have any info about Dragstor, Blast Attak, Multi-Bot, Hurricane Hordak, Laser Power HM& S, Stonedar, Two Bad, Blade, Gwildor and Saurod.

If they did one a month the vintage list minus the Zoids would be 10-11 months of exclusives; and it seems like those slots are taken up by Masterverse and Filmation stuff as well. Seems like none of the OG would have a spot til July next year, and this could go on to 26/27

Do they do "Movie" Origins like they have in MV? We got Screech but no Zoar so there's a gift set with a repaint waiting to happen. Do they bother with the Energy Zoids? It is crazy to think they have at minimum tacitly promised at least 11 more figures from a line they more or less thought to be dead where like 20 plus have been crammed in between already.

Not complaining mind you, but as usual nothing can be easy or cut and dry with MOTU.

Looks great but definitely not something I need in my collection, plus I'm only really interested in the grizzlor

It's weird that stuff like this gets made, but a Filmation Horde Trooper hasn't (ever, not even in MOTUC).

I have mixed feelings. Pretty cool to see concept art figures. But Mattel is definitely trying to stretch out this line as long as they can.

I'm confused, i thought the New Eternia line was based on the original concept art but now we have yet another subline which is promoted in a similar way?

Love it. Some fresh stuff based on unused past concepts from the original creators Im in. But for me, they will be new unique characters.

Tuskor is a good name for starters

I'm not feeling these figures... There looks and unfamiliarity to them makes me just buy other characters... Nothing wrong with the designs for those who like and want them.???
