Just curious about how long it took for Two-Bad to sell out??? I read 15 minutes, but I didn't follow for myself. He was available when I posted, but I didn't check again. |

My guess is that figure comes with the Snake Lair. Maybe a ghost or spirit of Lady Slither that haunts the Snake Lair? |

Toynewsi showing off upcoming MOTU figures, esp. Turtles of Grayskull... toynewsi.com/241-54561Not to be negative, but I am starting to wonder how much steam is left in Turtles of Grayskull. Looking at the now hitting and upcoming figures: after the TMNT specific characters, I am not seeing the turtle influence in the MOTU characters. Hordak, Mekaneck, and Rattlor are "supposed" to have been exposed to the ooze. But I don't see any noticeable TMNT reference in them. They simply look like they got powerups. Neat looking powerups, but nothing about them says "turtle power". These 3 figures could be easily slotted into Origins and no one would know any better. Which might be the point. Unless you told me the April Sorceress figure was April, I would not have seen it. Its sad. I was hoping for some vehicles and playsets. But it seems MOTU is becoming harder to find at retail. I never saw any of the movie related stuff, like Evil Lynn or the Orko/Gwildor 2pack. Maybe a lot of this stuff will hit Ross, Ollies, etc., this holiday season. |

Also, that is coming out in 2025, so there is some space they will still need to fill in the in-between. I am thinking there is at least one more ToG wave to be announced. It took waves 1-3 to get figures of all the TMNT. Now waves 4 and 5 have shown off new figures of Leo, Raph, and Don. So wave 6 should have the new Mikey. |

It came straight from the mouth of one of the Mattel guys at SDCC during a booth interview. If you haven't seen any of the booth tours, watch some videos and you'll see what figures are still scheduled to come out. |

I'll try to get Demo-Man. I missed Extendar, which broke a pretty good streak for me of remembering when the figs go on sale.

I got Demo-Man. I completely forgot about him going on sale, but I was checking the MOTU Reddit page on lunch and saw a post saying he was available. That was 10 minutes ago.

Got Demo-Man and he's actually still available. Maybe they increased production that he's a version of Skeletor. Would be nice if the others lasted longer, instead of getting them in the cart and trying to check out then there sold out.
Got Horde Trooper Prime from Paulmart nice figure.

My Target had a clearance back-end cap that was about 75% MOTU Masterverse. 75% of that was nothing but Andra!!!
Its pretty funny that several years later they still cannot get rid of that figure.
Andra, Fisto, Stinkor for ~$7. Finally got Fisto.

I also think Masterverse branching out to New Eternia and other figures made the Revolution ones less appealing and really made them dependent on fans of the show (we got better versions in New Eternia later). That said, Man-At-Arms and Teela weren't nearly as unwanted as some others, and Fisto, Stinkor, and Andra are all great figures, too. I bought all of the first two waves and like them. |

I only got Fisto because he was cheap. My pervert brain also gets a laugh that we can still have a character called "Fisto". |

Other than He-Man and Skeltor (and Webstor that I preordered one night while drinking I think haha), I'm skipping the Cartoon Collection for now. But I still look to see what's on pegs at Walmart and Target. My Walmart has maybe eight Evil-Lyns hanging. I'm not sure if they got solid cases of her, or if they redistributed some to this location, but it's not a good sign to me for future stock at this store.
They also have four Turtles of Grayskull Teelas.
I took a pic a while back of all the female wrestling figures they have.
My conclusion remains that I have the most misogynistic area in the country, cause apparently no one buys female figures here 😬😂
