Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

I received despara today… and honestly kind of disappointed.

1) That buck is just not good
2) I don’t like how the mask and helmet attach. It’s not real secure and looks dumb
 
Yes, I didn't even get past seeing Adora in the package to decide that I was going to pass. I found her, Dragstor and Keldor at retail last weekend and was going to buy both Adora and Dragstor but ended up leaving with only Dragstor after a closer look at Adora.
 
I stuck my broken Despara's Adora head on the New Eternia She-Ra and... I kinda dig it? The paint apps on the hair on New Eternia kinda suck so having her without her helm "I am no man!" battle casual is kind of an improvement to me.
 
Battle Ram Blog just confirmed that Masterverse ends at the end of 2026, being replaced by Chronicles. I hope that the scale can continue under Chronicles, and that it’s just a rebranding.

Where was this?

...and that friggin' sucks, btw...
 
Well, if that is true it doesn't bode well for the current scale. The Chronicles figures look fantastic, and they're in my preferred scale, but DAMN do I have a lot of Masterverse! Guess I'll have a decision to make in the near-future.
 
Yeah, I don't love that. I continue to wish that I had just kept my Mattel MOTUC collection. Someone made me an offer for it that I didn't feel like I could refuse at the time so I sold it and I feel like I've regretted it ever since.

I'm hoping we see a side by side size comparison of the Chronicles figures next to the Masterverse soon and they're either the same scale or close. I don't plan to buy many, if any, of the movie figures. I just may be done with MOTU.
 
I'm a half-dozen characters away from being okay with just being happy with Masterverse as a collection. I'm gonna be annoyed, AT MYSELF, if Chronicles scales with Legends or the Mattel DC figures and I find myself rebuying characters. But unlike a certain other collection I won't mention, I actually like Masterverse enough I'll keep my collection if they end it., I just genuinely love this line, but I'm also okay with it not going on forever. I'd be angrier about it ending if Walmart weren't fucking up fulfillment of the cartoon inspired versions so badly - why bother collecting a subline the store won't even bother shipping.
 
Hrm. Not super happy to hear Masterverse is ending, but I'll have to see if/how any non-movie Chronicles figures look next to them...

In other words, they're doing to Masterverse with Chronicles what they did to Origins with Cartoon Collection. One is the retail replacement, and the old line gets relegate to a few releases as Mattel exclusives.
