Appropriate, given how both brands are heading toward the cultural abyss, due to their owners being determined to focus on rehashing what they did yesterday rather than trying something new.
I love MOTU, but things like this and yet another slavish rehash line, hot on the heels of the slavish MOTUC line aren't the things that will save it.

These look like fun. I really like that they're actual crossovers with He-Man characters, and not just WWE figures "inspired by" He-Man characters. The Castle Grayskull ring is a nice touch.
He-Man figures were always great, with a lot of tactile playability, so these should be excellent for young wrestling fans.

This is genuinely a lot of fun. Yeah, something about this seemed sorta weird at first but....... having this many of them really helps (if it'd just been 3 or 4 it'd seem like some licensed vanity project). Plus it reaches back to past stars - Randy Savage! - AND the gimmicks seem properly in line with He-Man gimmicks (Fisto Reigns is such an amazingly great idea) so that even the weirder characters could seem right alongside other Masters of the Universe figures. Well done to bot hMattel & WWE for this.

Little torn on them. I loved Masters of the Universe figures but this line coming about along with some of the worst toy distribution in history killed the Hasbro style retros.

Guessing with Mattel losing the DC license next year (well, exclusivity on it, they're keeping it for DC Super Hero Girls), they have more attention they can devote to this and want to go whole ham on WWE figures.

Losing exclusivity on it? The DC Primal Age figures from late 2018/early 2019 were produced by Funko (ironically very much in that MOTU style actually).

It's sorta complicated, DC was also putting out their own figures with the "Essentials" line, I think it's called, but it's going to be even more split up than it was.

There’s also The New Day as Man-E-Faces, with the different faces being each member. I would have gone with a 3 Faces of Foley version, but that works.

Has anyone seen these yet? Some are on eBay and claim to be in hand, not preorders. Walmart has the ring and ring bundle but none of the individual figures. Strange that Mattel would not have them out for the xmas season.

Pretty sure they are Walmart exclusive. Walmarts webpage for them says they are.

So they finally are in stock on Wal Marts website. I have both rings and all the figures except for Skull King Triple H. He will be arriving soon.
They are nice. Not as close to the old He-Mans as I hoped. Much better articulation though and no rubber band legs.
Only bad part is we are moving soon so all my old He-Man figures and playsets are packed up in a Pod. I would love to have a big crossover set up.

When you’re done moving book a invasion angle and put it on YouTube!

Oh with the extra bedroom in the new house I'm getting a giant table and setting up a huge Eternia scene, like some people set up christmas or model railroads. And the WWE guys will be a major faction. I'm debating on whether to make the Primal DC guys a part of it.
