Origins has become such a stressful line to collect. Not only have they got really expensive with Mattel creations, but these dumb exclusives that Canada doesn’t get are so hard to get a hold of. I seriously can’t wait for the stuff I like to come out so that i can step out if collecting these.

Same with me man! I just wanted to finish up the last few characters as fast as possible. I was so pissed off when they moved them over to Mattel Creations. Now it's going to take forever to finish up. They are dragging the line out on purpose & it's annoying as hell. I just want to finish up & put it behind me. I hate the Cartoon Collection & I don't really care about Turtles Of Grayskull.

shame this line is so inaccesable, I tried to get into it but the moment I saw the first mattel creations exclusive I dropped the line. doesn't help they decided to overproduce certain figures (if you know, you know) that still warm the pegs till this very day. I def wish they would focus more on the new eternia figures, Im barley seeing anymore of those.

I wish they would start preorders exclusively for members at least a month before production begins, and then produce the numbers of these in addition to what they had planned on making. The true collectors would be very happy with this. In addition, offering package free products would be great about saving us consumers a little money (and we all know the packaging costs more to produce than the figures/dolls themselves). I've had the same problem trying to order Monster High dolls from them. They often sell out in minutes or even less (especially crossover stuff like Universal Monsters and other horror properties). The way Mattel is currently selling collector items makes it seem like they just want to enjoy the products themselves and only produce extra so that consumers are footing the bill to get it made. This is just dumb when they could make such a huge profit on these exclusives!

I'm in CO and no update on my 2 Rokkons. Just says the May 17th date and paid 😆 I'm feeling like masterverse is going to go online exclusive too because they just don't move well in retail from what I see, whether it's origins or masterverse (my walmart stopped carrying both). I felt like snout spout was a sign of things to come the moment I saw the announcement. The shipping is egregious when their existing store inventory is so low & picked over, and new figures are drip fed out racking up shipping for each piece going forward. Terrible. No inventory or incentive to spend $X for free shipping. I got 2 Rokkons so I can scalp one of them to buy Frog Monger for a scalped price since I missed him. I'm actually surprised the cartoon line is hitting retail even, but probably not long. Future of the lines are uncertain.

Well, man, the $5 bump-up is quite a lot from a certain point of view, BUT from a different perspective it is fairly understandable. We've been in the post-Covid economic crisis for over two years now and LOTS of stuff unfortunately became more expensive by a massive margin, so no surprises here. Also, even if there weren't the crisis and the associated price hikes, some price increase would be expected nonetheless since even a minimal inflation always occurs and the Origins toyline has now been around for a fifth year.
