2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

+7 Based on available collector discussions and market observations up to 2025–2026, MOTU Origins generally maintains a very high volume of sales due to its broader, nostalgic appeal and lower price point, while G.I. Joe Classified is considered a highly successful, fast-selling modern line that often sells out of pre-orders.  Reddit Reddit  +4 MOTU Origins Sales Trends: Origins figures are described as selling out quickly, especially early on, with high demand for the vintage-inspired 5.5-inch style. The line is considered to be "killing it" by collectors and is often preferred over the larger Masterverse line for its nostalgia and lower price point. However, some characters can become "peg warmers" in certain regions, creating a false impression of poor sales, or a "feast or famine" situation where popular figures are impossible to find and others sit, according to discussions. G.I. Joe Classified Sales Trends: Classified is a very strong, po...

It's always nice to be able to shift from one action figure brand to another. Especially when the hobby starts to get a little too pricey and/or repetitive. After picking up a few Origins figures, I found myself checking out the Masterverse line as well. There weren't many figures that caught my eye but Pig-Head, once again, won me over.  I mean, just look at him! He's like a cross between General Spidrax, Bebop and Road Pig!    Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified have some really cool figures out right now but most are way too overpriced for me. Transformers aren't even on my radar.  Thank goodness for Mattel and the MOTU franchise. With so much character variety and affordability, they're really hitting the spot for me right now. More Masters of the Universe goodness on the way! Stay tuned! 

"I pity the fool!" that don't know where the phrase " I pity the fool!" came from. Loose pics forthcoming 💪

These figures rock so much! Here we have Buzz Lightyear XL 01. Again, I haven't seen the film yet so I'm not quite sure what  " XL 01" stands for. After watching a couple of trailers I'm guessing this is Buzz in his space suit prior to becoming Space Ranger Alpha. 

Dang! I'm really digging this Buzz Lightyear figure! Mattel did a great job on these, giving them a nice amount of articulation and nice paint apps, too. Also, you can't beat the $10 price tag. I haven't seen the film yet but this is obviously a "Buzz in his civis" action figure. "SOX" , apparently Buzz's pet cat, also has nice articulation. These shouldn't be hard to find in the wild and  I highly recommend going out and picking some up. This was a quick but fun shoot! Enjoy the pics👍

If you haven't been over to  GIJigsaw's  site to check out his awesome custom action figure artwork, I suggest you do so. Recently Jigs put the word out and gave readers of his site the chance to pick out 4 characters from any action figure line to be immortalized on canvas and I chose a few Mattel Marvel Secret Wars classics!  Jigs even added the lightning bolt to the deep blue background, staying true to the vintage card art!  The colors used match the figures perfectly! Even Dr. Doom got the metallic silver treatment. Black suit Spidey!!! I'm really digging these and appreciate the "First Four" freebie deal! Jigs completely knocked it out of the park and It's cool to know that I have the first series of Mattel Marvel Secret Wars figure paintings! Many thanks Jigs💥 This was truly a thoughtful and kind gesture on your part and I will forever be indebted 🙏

 As much as I liked the He-Man figure In this line, I think I like Skeletor even more! Also, I think I'm falling hook, line and sinker for these awesome action figures! Let's take a look at Skeletor. Again, the packaging  pays tribute to the vintage line nicely. If you were a kid In the 80's then you know that MOTU, GI Joe and Transformers was life. We didn't even need the whole collection. If we had just  a few figures from each of those lines then all was right in the world. I think we have a lot to be thankful for  as adult collectors. All three of the aforementioned lines have done a great job on all of their retro releases, allowing us to relive that all too important golden age of action figures.        I won't be going over the comic book because It was the same as the one that came with He-Man. I think that has been my only disappointment so far. I could be wrong but I thought the vintage line had  unique comic books for each figure. ...
