These figures are beautiful and so is the packaging! I hope they keep it up and go deep with niche characters from the cartoon that we have not gotten in the Origins line. I hope you keep it up with the awesome reviews as well, Robo! Thank you, sir!
I've been holding off on MotU figures for a while because there just wasn't anything I was super interested in so this flew right under my radar. I just ordered all 4. Great review Robo!
I have these too and they are so much fun. Saw the Promo Shots of Teela and Trap-Jaw and they are looking fantastic. I like and collect Orgins too but man, this Cartoon Line is getting me more hyped as I thought it would.
Eh, you were right about it being an Amazon shipping problem. I stopped buying 2 (1 to hold, 1 to open) from Amazon due to there incapability of shipping collectibles without completely destroying the packaging.
Between this and Turtles of Grayskull Mattel totally got my number in 2024. This line? Swallow you whole. A little shaking, a little tenderizing. Down I go.
The thing is I totally agree that the Club Grayskull/Super 7 versions are far superior . I am not really into visually 'squished down' figures. I prefer the Club Grayskull versions .. the line that ended too quickly and was never completed..
Seeing figures like this makes me think ok now do every Hanna barbera figure to this standard. Same way Jada Chester makes me think ok Jada now do every Warner brothers cartoon character.
That intro with the dragon was good Robo... It took me back to the original animated series... I like these figures but still have to buy them... I have all the 5" and Classics Filmation that Super 7 made so I want these to continue the Filmation Saga.😀💡👍
Dude c'mon ... is this the most gloriously colorful and perfect thumbnail you've ever created?🥰 Sucks you in like a Kirby salesman of old Outstanding 🏆
If you have the Origins 40th Anniversary He-Man 4 Pack then you can switch out the He-man chest harness. The one in the 40th Anniversary is more of the gray we all remember. I like it better on this new Filmation He-Man. The metallic blue harness is now on the 40th Anniversary because....well, it's an anniversary figure, he should have metallic parts.
So I picked up Trap Jaw here in Australia because he's my favourite. I kept him on card. Then I saw your video. Then I went and bought the rest. Got HM, Skeletor, Teela, Beastman, Mer-Man, Stratos... got MAA, Adam/Cringer, Evil Lyn on the way. Almost an instant collection and while they'll do more, it's a line where I probably don't need to go deep (although I likely will, seeing Mantenna revealed at SDCC just now... and Catra... and Ram Man and MEF...). I got the majority of the MOTUC line but didn't get many Filmation, just HM, Skelly and Evilseed... I just couldn't rebuy everyone again even though the cartoon was my first love and I grew up wishing the 80s figures LOOKED like the cartoon more. And now they do. 40 years of waiting and I almost skipped these, but damn they bring back that 80s toy feel with modern improvement. Thanks for your video Robo!
@@RoboDontKnow Yeah, suprised Big W had them as we only got 3 Skeletor for wave 1 and then moved straight to wave 2 part 1. I will say Trap Jaw is pretty coolio.
If I had these as a kid I would be in He-man heaven! I remember always asking myself and everyone I knew “Why do the figures look so different than the cartoon characters”. This line completes me
The colors, specifically on He-Man and Beast Man are my only nitpick about these figures - though I've only picked up He-Man so far. Beast Man isn't nearly red enough, and He-Man's trunks and boots are straight-up BROWN. But from what I can see, Skeletor and Duncan have spot-on colors.
Instead of using glue on the blister cards they should do like the Kulu Toys skeletons and just have plastic flaps that hold the cardboard on. Then you can slide the card out, remove the figure then put the pack back together for keeping, if you're into that.
YAY!!! Robo Knows MOTU!!! Finally! Now if we could get ya over your flocking issue, lol. I'm gonna say this about the glue thing... I open and review too and it would suck for the sake of the video, but I also want to use the cards for a future art project, so it coming off easily would be nice... it's a glitch that I like as a feature lol. Great review Duder. Your content is the bar I strive for. Keep being awesome.
The skull pokes out because it shares tooling with the deluxe version that sold on Mattel Creations with swappable skulls. I think they glued it in here but it was designed to be swapped. The expressive versions also look better at a distance because his mouth is open on the anxious/happy face.
Oh! And I highly recommend getting a WWE Superstars Macho Man. His skintone almost perfectly matches He-Man and he has 6 or 8 hands that that this He-Man doesn't have. Plus you get a purple robe that fits these figures.
I thought I only needed the Skeletor, but man... your excitement and enjoyment forced (yes, forced!) me to buy the Beast Man and He-man figures too. I already ordered the Man at Arms, but I'm gonna try putting the Turtles of Grayskull MAA armor on it so he can be taller than the turtles hahaha. But I might take Skeletor with me to work tomorrow as my pocket figure, just cause I love it so much and it makes my coworkers think I'm even more weird than they already think I am
Excellent review, in which you clearly highlight the positive points of this new range. It's not perfect (I would have liked bigger feet and a little longer shins) but still very close to the character design filming, especially in terms of the faces. Ok it's not as accomplished as the Club grayskull (especially in terms of proportions), but for a guy like me who starts a motu collection quite late, these figurines are excellent. I already have he-man and beast-man, and I'm waiting for skeletor as well as man-at-arms... This will be an opportunity for me to later create a diorama dedicated to these figurines. I would have gone crazy if I had them as a kid 😁, so I hope the range continues (for my part the next one should be Teela, which also seems very successful 🤟)
I did. I may do a review, but I'm also thinking about doing a big Vader Battle, see which is my favorite. Or both. Or neither. I need to get it open one way or another, haha.
@@RoboDontKnow ....It's the exact same height as the Storm Trooper, you YOURSELF even said that Marvel Legends and Classified aren't true six-inch scale in the video whereas Black Series is. So even by your own logic it's six-inch scale and I don't know why you're insisting it isn't.
Not exact inspired by the cartoon the beastman for me is worst i like the skeletor if a little light .. like the review very creative 😅 love the bone throne origin cats might work
Nice review, but you did forget to mention that Beastman's feet have lines, as the classical fur boots, even when they might be the same boots as Skeletor'. Maybe some have the same "mistake", but I have seen a few like that so...
Does Mattel not realise tha English in an international language? Put english text tback in your internationally shipped figures' mini-comics. Or at least print a QR code where people can read a version in the language of their choice. It's not difficult to sort this shit out.
