I saw the accusations, yeah. He also had pics of it in his cart that were pretty convincing, I thought. Barcode as well.

EDIT: ToyHabits still has 'em:

I mean, it's possible. But if it's part of the basic assortment of figures, why doesn't it look anything like the packaging of the basic figures?

IF it's real, it's very strange for Mattel to decide to run two concurrent types of 5.5" low-articulation product at the same time on entirely different cards, without announcing that fact.

Exclusive? I dunno. Pics don't seem AI to me though. Weird thing to do for clout if so.

Wouldn't be the first time. If you let it start creeping into your feed, Instagram is filled with 'look what I found at the store' AI-generated pics of toys that don't exist. Some guy not long ago was posting like entire sections covered by Prince Adam figures that also definitely don't exist. Looked real enough that my wife showed them to me because she didn't know the new He-Man stuff was 'already out.' And she's usually pretty good at spotting AI bullshit.
 
One of the more convincing criticisms I see is that the bubble in the hanging pic seems to go all the way to the edge of the card, whereas in the cart pics it does not. Could be an angle thing. A golden Skeletor seems like such a random choice to mock up a fake of, but I guess people gotta be people. We'll see. No actual interest in buying it either way!
 
It's literally the new AI trend of making a fake thing just to see if you can fool people. Reddit is a good place for those people getting called out because it's always accounts with almost no other relevant posts, it's ALWAYS people that show large amounts of some unknown figure but also are magically always the kind of collector that doesn't open their toys or have any active displays they show off even of boxed figures.
In short: bullshit accounts for bullshitting people.
 
If it's fake, I think there's some really good Photoshop work going on.
The thing that's bugging me is the WWE Superstars card right next to it on the pegs. They're also 5.5", but the card seems so small compared to Skeletor card. Is it just perspective? One card pulled to the front of the pegs, while the other is pushed back? If it's fake, that's a great touch putting it next to another 5.5". Seems like something a Walmart employee would do if there wasn't a set peg. Why didn't they take a photo of the peg label?

Trying to actually watch the video and oh my fucking god this guy has spent at least 3 hours pointing at the back of the packaging. If this is real, it's further proof that the only people to ever find things 'first' are idiots.
 
Oh my god.. tapping out. I don't even care anymore. We're 61 hours into this video and he's just gotten Skeletor out of the package and is showing a headless Skeletor next to cartoon Beast Man for scale comparison. This guy is either obfuscating that this figure is fake, or he's a complete fucking moron. Either way, I can't care anymore because I want to punch him in the face.

There's a shot of several of them in a cart, so if it's AI it's disturbingly well done. (But I agree, everything about them screams AI.) And I just realized someone else put that cart shot above, my bad.

Even with the video of him opening the figure I can't tell what the fuck is going on. Something VERY suspicious about an opening video taking like 10 minutes to get to the figure.. only showing two figures on the table when you had four in your cart, etc etc. Everything about that dude and his 'find' is sketchy as fuck and I won't believe it's real until more people find that figure and post photos.
And if it is all lies - I honestly hope that guy falls into a deep hole and starves to death because I am so sick of people who lie and deceive for clout.
 
He says he got more intending to offer them to folks like Pixel Dan who are more adept at opening/reviewing videos and who are more involved in the MotU community.
