That was an amazing use of panel!
I love the art but without dialogue it is sort of strange.
"Hi there, I'm Optimus Prime! And when I'm shooting up the street for no reason and the neighbors are all yelling at me, it's nice to know the people at Mutual of Omaha are..."
-sorry, Marlin Perkins flashback...

lol. Yeah, it took a second to realize that they were giving them powers not just shooting them.
Nice!

I don't know whether to be amused or angry.

Retailer system digging has revealed most of the 200x Cartoon Collection through the mid-later part of next year. Not complete (missing some deluxe figures) and obviously subject to change. Sadly, the Snakemen are ignored from these listings.
Wave 1- He-Man, TriKops, Stratos, Deluxe Beastman
Wave 2- Man At Arms, Evil-Lyn, Moss Man, Deluxe Ram Man
Wave 3- Skeletor, Prince Adam, Zodak, Deluxe Clawful
Wave 4- Teela, Orko, Mer-man, Deluxe Roboto
Wave 5- Keldor, Buzz-Off, Webstor, Deluxe Unknown
Wave 6- Sorceress, SyKlone, TrapJaw, Deluxe Unknown
And, again, no Snakemen. Though, between Fisto, Mekanek, Man-E-Faces, Randor, non-show allies, and variants to He-Man and Man At Arms, there are plenty of characters to mine to fill out another year. I’d like to hope that the 2002 Horde would be on tap (maybe digging up some unproduced concepts for season 3 variations), but I’m not sure Mattel has the focus the get through the Snakemen, much less Horde in this “theme” before moving on.

Well, at least I have some time before Roboto, if I get him.
If you ever actually see Roboto on shelves tell him I said "Thank you very much".
I'm also surprised Trap Jaw isn't a deluxe, I have the 2000x original, his arm is a whole different level of complexity than the usual 'pipe with a socket', as were each of the attachments.

Why is Skeletor all the way in Wave 3?
The Sorceress is the only one I want to get out of this batch unless the Unknowns are something cool.
I really do hope that they get to the Snakemen and Horde for the 200X line. I would really like to add a lot of those to my 200X collection.
On the one hand is disappointing that there's very little I want having no interest in the Cartoon, 200X or Masteeverse lines, but it is nice not to fear for my wallet.
And the Sketch Series figures give me something I still want for Origins.
-ZacWilliam, I don't think it's happening but I'd love to get Bengali for the XThundercats line.

As you might have heard, longtime rivals of the toy aisle Mattel and Hasbro are getting on pretty well these days, leading to a fair bit of crossover between some of each company's most famous brands. Like some sort of "collaboration". Among those pairings of properties has been a new line that...

I picked up a Randor figure at Ross for $10 last week. It looks like it will fit in well with my 200X collection.
Black Friday sales!

I got this at Target today. At first I was going to use a gift card, but found out it hadn't been activated yet. So I saved it. But since this is the first time I've seen New Eternia Mosquitor, and since it was only $10...I wasn't about to let it slip through my fingers.
I don't know when they started adding wings into his design, but honestly, I think it's a nice touch. You can keep the wings attached or take them off. I think I'll keep them attached.
It also comes with three different proboscises and an alt chest plate. I think I'll go with the alt chest place just because it's more grotesque, and I wouldn't be getting a Mosquitor in the first place if I wasn't all about grotesque.
Comparison with the Origins figure. I lament the loss of the blood pump inside the window. It was the main gimmick of the original . Still, the detail, and esthetic of the New Eternia figure can't be denied. And at $10...this feels like a steal.

Still not sold on his armour looking like football gear for whatever reason. But the rest looks pretty good.
I stopped by Walmart last night and got myself a Hordak there. I think it will make a decent stand in for 200X Hordak in my collection.
I thought it was here?
