Loving the new MOTU POP!’s. He-Man on Battle Cat is my favorite. Can definitely see putting that one on the desk in my office.

Man... I might have to fight hard to resist getting that 10” Skeletor! I don’t know if I will be able to...

Syklone is a must for me.

When I was a kid I loved MOTU, and then I became a big wrestling fan and turned my MOTU figures in to a wrestling federation. Syklone was my heavyweight champion, so we have some history together

I’m sure there will be a 10” HeMan eventually.
Not as interested myself. Ya if there was truly a licensing issue I’m sure glad it was resolved.

Gonna need that Battle Cat!!

So much more on its way/ Love the He-Man with Battlecat!

Postby **methodsmadness** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:13 pm

I've never gotten the 10" figures due to space and all the other Pops, but ol' Skeletor might have to be my first!

Postby **mongoose12** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:46 pm

if they flock battlecat, everyone might riot lol

and for the record i don't mind if we get a flocked version, i just think its fun to see the 'og' motu fans go wild on this subject

Soooo glad for the MOTU reveals, looking forward to adding to that collection! :cheers:

not Faker, he's the odd "slime" variant of He-Man that has popped up a lot lately. not really sure of his origins, don't think there was a version of him like that in the original line, but there's a bunch now from Super 7 and other companies.

Heard that Mattel wanted to limit the number of products sold by other companies in advance of the 2020 (or maybe even 2021) release of the new live action movie. So, not really losing the license, just a temporary limitation.

Pre-ordered one each...I won't be chasing after the variants but I'm up for anything MOTU AND I'm a sucker for silly collectible items like this (see: Funko's Cereal). =D>

I have no doubt and don’t be surprised that the most limited funko items at cons this year are soda pops.
Con exclusive 2500 count with a 1/6 chase.

Glad there is a new wave coming - I still have hope of someday getting my classic She-ra on Swift Wind!

Postby **FireEmblemZack** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 6:23 pm

OHHH YEAH! I love these new Funko Soda Figures! Plus with that Slime Pit He-Man, maybe that will be an ECCC exclusive in POP Form?

The Slime Pit Horde playset came packed with "Escape From the Slime Pit" mini-comic, which showcased the playset’s power to turn its victims into mindless slaves of the Horde. In the story, He-Man is slimed and is only restored to his right mind by exposure to brilliant light. Mattel/Super7, decades later, began producing this variant for fans.

Thanks for the info. I do remember the slime pit now. My parents were like.... slime ? Um.... no. As a parents now do I truly understand the desire to keep slime from the house. Stop making it school !!!!

I’m so stoked for all these MOTU releases :compress:

THAT would be EPIC!! I was just glancing over some of the vintage 80’s She-Ra & The Princesses of Power toys in my friends collection, and I can’t believe it never dawned on me how unbelievably awesome a pop ride of that would be!! :bow:

Have you seen the new Masters of Wrestling Universe- Grayskull wrestling ring they came out with? It is on clearance right now at Walmart.com for $15. I grabbed one of the last ones on clearence in my local store it was too awesome for me to pass up!

It's interesting how the new Pops we are getting are He-man characters, with 1 She-ra character: Tung Lashor. There are SO many great She-ra characters they could make (flocked Grizzlor!), but aren't...

I wonder if that has something to do with the new She-ra cartoon. Tung Lashor isn't in that, so maybe they can only make classic She-ra characters that aren't in the new series?

That being said, this helps the chance for more of the He-man characters to becomes pops, especially Zodac and King Randor!

This also tells us we will see a couple con exclusives this year I bet.
