MOTU

[Bravo]

Teasing some frog-monger based Snake-Men. "Origins Vypor" is a terrible name. How about Baron, Lord, Duke, Count, General, Mayor? I dunno.

ALL EVIL CARTOON COLLECTION.
Clawful with barely any accessory.
They can just reuse his head for another random Snake-Man.

[Bravo]

$33 isn't to bad or Two-Bad. I might just get just one. I mean, what am I gonna do, sell the other one anytime soon? I dunno. I don't own Origins Stridor. History repeats, as a kid I had Night Stalker and no Stridor.

This evil armored battle steed might be He-Man’s nightmare, but our Night Stalker is a collector’s dream come true. Combining vintage looks with 18 points of articulation and numerous battle accessories, our evil equine is ready to storm Castle Grayskull, strike terrifying poses, and take Origins figures along for the ride. Pre-orders open on June 18th at 12 pm EDT with a suggested retail price of $33.00 only at MattelCreations.com!

No love for Jitsu on the artwork! Also, no teases that I see.

Battle Armor Skeletor for everything.
Also why the Skeletor army is so important.

Stridor is important for Fisto and or Rio Blast...maybe Battle Armor He-man...I don't really like any version of He-Man without the cross.
I have Teela using Stridor to hide those knees. As a kid I probably would have pretended or used Stridor as 30/30 from Bravestarr.

Night Stalker...maybe to also hide Evil Lyn's Knees. Not real big on robot horses though to be honest.

It's not like this is the Land Shark

[Bravo]

The lack of a window box makes sense, but it also inconsistent for display purpose for MIB folks.

Maybe they should've pack Disco Skeletor with this. Then people would say "Not vintage!"

The sitting inside rather than straddling never made sense.

[Felix]

Yeah, talk about failed opportunity to improve on a bad design.
Only Princess of Power got horses.

I love the episode where Man-At-Arms creates Stridor...

It becomes self aware.

Man-At-Arms just sets him free. DUMB DUMB DUMB!

My theory is Stridor is captured by Skeletor and they turn him into or create Night Stalker from him.
Maybe that's even in a cartoon, I don't remember.

[Bravo]

Heh, I got a whole story in my head with that episode and I'm gonna save it and hopefully make a diostory parody someday.

[Bravo]

It's evil horsey day.
I think just one for me. I thought about 2, sell the second one to pay for both. That wouldn't work. I mean, if I somehow got double what I paid...then there's Ebay's cut. So, best case scenario make around $20. Spending around $80 total to make back $20 would really mean I was paying $60 for a single Night Stalker.

Edit: Went smoothly.
Around $42 shipping and taxes for one. So add $35 (that's with taxes)and it would been around $77 for two.
Maybe it was a mistake and I should've gotten another. It's really not worth the fuss.
Watch me get one with crappy paint or something.

[Felix]

Nice! I miss out on all that stuff now. But I'm glad you were able to secure one.
They do not make it easy to collect this stuff.

[Bravo]

Still available as of 1:40 PM EST.

Edit: 3:00 PM, still available.

[Swindle]

yeah, I'm tight on money, so my buddy bought me one, suddenly between all the exclusive figs he's got for me, I owe him close to 150 lol.

[Bravo]

6 hours and still up. I guess resellers also figure this one was a low profit investment?

Edit: Over 24 hours later. Still available.
Maybe they made this for retail but couldn't find a buyer?

50 Bucks, SDCC 2024 Masters of the Universe Origins Exclusive Tuvar & Badrah 2-Pack, July 25th.

[Bravo]

So they went Cartoon Collection style first. I think that means vintage toy style Tuvar and Baddrah are unlikely. Strange because IIRC Two-Bad never appears in separate halves in Filmation. That was a 200X story. But this does mean they don't have to make new scaley skinned parts for Baddrah. So maybe that's part of the reason. Still, the vintage toy was notable for having two closed fists, so something feels missing there along with the shield but maybe toy style Two-Bad will have them in a freaking year+ whenever.
Also, since when are legs at the hips swappable, so they had to do something new there.

Accessories are light, the extra torso and the mirror. No weapons or other extra body parts. I guess people will like the mirror.
