The New Eternia sub line has knocked it out of the park on every character so far. Getting the classic look plus accessories to update them is genius. Another fantastic review!
The New Eternia series is becoming one of my favorite figure lines. I think it's cool to see many of those iconic core characters like Tri-Klops and Meckaneck remastered again with newer looks and accessories, as you mentioned! Thanks for watching as always 👍
With the exception of Ram Man cuz most of his body proportions are off (he looks different on the cartoon) the Motuc one still can't beaten (aesthetic, sculpting, details, proportions)
Great review! This Tri-Klops figure is awesome! I appreciate all the subtle design embellishments Mattel has managed to include in this figure! The reptile/scales on his visor is from the vintage comics - I always loved that look. Also the other sword with gold hilt is from the vintage catdback where he always had a more realistic looking sword. I really liked the Revelation one too, nice to have different styles in the collection. Love all the different swap outs you did btw!
Thanks for watching already and sharing those extra details about the scales and alternative sword. It seemed like the vintage inspired design but more realistic, kind of like you mentioned. I never noticed the scales before on the visor from the comics. I'll have to check those out again! I only remember that Mini comic Christmas tree color Tri-Klops as a showed from the Origins in the early comics. The Revalation Tri-Klops is also a good Masterverse design and mixes well with this New Eternia Tri-Klops. The mix parts are always time-consuming, but yet interesting between different figures! I'm glad you enjoyed that!👍
Thanks for checking out the review and sharing the extra info on that sword. I know I saw it somewhere before. But I couldn't remember where. It looked like a remastered version of the filmation sword.
That box art is fantastic !! I love how they got 'Masterverse' exploding out of the rocks, retro style, the detail of snake scales on the visor in the art; the whole thing really pops! Also, those blue devil henchmen in the corner, interesting
Thanks for stopping in already, man! The box art for these newer Masterverse figures is much better than the old boxes. Yeah, I also like the exploding rocks and retro style design in that art. The snake scales on the Visor and Loin Cloth are kind of cool! I wonder who those new henchmen on the box can be and if they will see Figures in Masterverse 👍
This guy is pretty dope!! Tri Klops is one of my favourite masters. One of the first vintage toys I ever got as a kid for Christmas. This guy has a great head sculpt. Love the detail on the helmet under the visors.
Thanks for stopping in as always, brother! I am happy to hear you also like the new design and head sculpt as well! Tri-Klops was also one of my favorites as a kid and my third figure in the vintage line. Whiplash and Zodac were the first two figures I got in the vintage line around Christmas! The new visors and details under the helmet are definitely incredible looking 👍
Damon here! Still catching up slowly. Hopefully, within the next few weeks, things will be less hectic and I can take more time to watch this stuff when I’m not messaging people back and forth preparing for our podcast (the season ends next week). On to Tri-Klops: another awesome figure! The New Eternia line has really impressed me more than I thought it would. I was actually wondering if they would give him an interchangeable visor since they gave us interchangeable faces for the New Eternia Man-E-Faces. That’s a great feature, plus giving him that “first appearance” sash from the mini-comics. I don’t think I really have any negatives or criticisms to say about this one at all! Great review as always! 🙂
Hey Damon! Thanks for stopping in as always! I'm also really happy how the New Eternia line has been designing certain core characters such as this Tri-Klops. The colors, interchangeable visors, weapons and over looks are perfect on this figure. I can't wait to see what else the New Eternia line has to come for 2024. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts as always. I have other videos up. But I'm not gonna be making videos for a while because of chronic health issues bothering me as of now!
I agree with you, the first Tri Klops is a really good figure but this New Eternia version is an improvement on every aspect. Badass overall look and a villain face expression. I always watch your reviews, you cover each different line interestingly and in detail. Good job!!!
Yeah, I really like the New Eternia line figures and designs for the popular core characters like this Tri-Klops. I didn't expect to see a New Tri-Klops after getting the Revalation one a while back. As I mentioned that Revalation Tri-Klops was really cool. But this New Eternia version feels more Vintage and Classics inspired. I appreciate all your time and sharing your comments on these reviews and figures!👍
Thanks for stopping in as always! He is definitely worth the pick-up! I like the idea of missing some of those cartoon or mini comic book accessories with him, too!👍
Excellent and very thorough re view. You know that Revelation buck goes great with the New Eternia parts and head. Will have to hunt down that Revelation version.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the reviews! Yeah, both the New Eternia and Revelation Tri-Klops figures can mix well with the head and armor pieces.👍
Great review! Really answered my questions. I love this Tri-Klops. Think it’s my favorite all time. It’s wonderful how they sculpted the armor. Specially the part over the belly. The extra sword looks exactly like in the first mini comic. And as you said. We never had a mini comic variant in this size. I will need to repaint him with red to make him more first appearance but I feel bad about it already. 😂
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on this New Eternia Tri-Klops figure. He is also my new favorite version of Tri-Klops now. That second sword is from the mini comic. I thought it might have been from the filmation concept. The armor and visor have some really good sculpts and colors. I would also like to see a larger Mini book comic version down the road. Yeah, there is always paint customizing 👍
Great stuff man! This figure looks better then Classics! It’s interesting how they went with the pig head loin cloth over the other style . Plus, I wish they went with the new battle armor, He-Man body buck over the old one.. much better chest design overall. But would the armor fit on that bulkier shape🤔🤷♂️👍🏻. Keep up the great work man .
Thanks for stopping in already, man! I think both this new Eternia Tri-Klops and the new Mekaneck are almost better than the Classics with designs. But I still love the classics because of the modernized vintage nastalgia. The Battle Armor He-man is next on my list to take a look at the new buck and Armor. I'm gonna try the Battle Armor on the Origins, Classics, and 40th He-man figures to see if it works. Yeah, I noticed that the new loin cloth came from Pig-Head later.👍
Thanks for an awesome setup for the Classics. Yeah, you definitely share many parts between the Masterverse and Classics when it comes to certain weapons and armor pieces. Many times, even heads. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👍
Thanks, always appreciate all the swaps you do so that we can see all the different options with the figure before we get it and start messing with things ourselves. Can't wait to get this guy, Tri-Klops has always been one of my favorites. Looks like an upgrade from the old version, which I've been fine with, sooo many options!
Thanks again for always stopping in and sharing your thoughts and appreciation for the review and swaps. That's a lot of work sometimes to do. Tri-Klops was also one of my favorites as a kid going back to the vintage line. I also really like that Classics Tri-Klops as well. But this New Eternia Tri-Klops is on my favorites list now with the new colors and designs!👍
Everytime I have a question pops up in my head, you answered it immediately on the next scene, it's like you reading my mind! 😮😅😊 Yeah, the gold hilt sword is from the crossell art from the original vintage cardback. 🤔 This Tri-Klops version definitely has a much more detailing compared to the Revelation release. Love the visor options on him and they gave him hair too. 😊 Odd that him and Mekaneck didnt came with the open left hand. I think that option would've benefited both figures. 🤔 Awesome review! Looking forward to the next one! 👍🏻😁👍🏻
Thanks for watching as always! I'm glad I answered most of the questions you wanted to know about this New Eternia Tri-Klops figure. I try to be as detailed as I can. Yes, that other sword is from the mini comic. I thought it was from the filmation concept designs, which it kind of is a bit. The Revalation Tri-Klops was a decent figure. But this New Eternia Tri-Klops is much better and detailed. I'm also surprised they didn't come with a spare open left hand instead of punching fists as well. Overall, this is a perfect remastered version of Tri-Klops for the New Eternia line!👌
The best thing about the N.E. piece are the heads, but I prefer the revelation armor with the orange horns. One thing I don't like about these new figures is that don't have the open hands.
Thanks for watching! The N.E. Heads are getting better with each release. Some are better than others. I figured some people would rather mix parts or things like the armor between the two different Masterverse Tri-Klops figures or to use the other body because of the traditional loin cloth if you didn't want to remove them which is sometimes difficult. The Revalation Tri-Klops has that open hand. But it has Origins pegs. The New Eternia has a new style large peg with open hand, unfortunately. Maybe we will see a figure that can match the skin with an open hand and the new peg!👌
Congrats on getting your Tri-Klops today! He is another New Eternia figure done well! I'm happy to hear you love the look! Thanks for watching as always 👍
Great review! I have been enjoying your recent MOTU reviews. I subscribed. Thanks for being thorough and in-depth with your comparisons, parts swapping, etc.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the reviews and your subscription. That's awesome! I try to do as much as I can with parts swapping and details with the reviews and edit out the nonsense to keep things rolling fast if possible!
Thanks for checking out the review! They marking calls that piece a 3 eyed cross body belt. But it can also be called a sashes, cross banner, or torso strap. A bandolier usually has pouches for storage or ammunition. Aside from that! He looks awesome!👍
@@Themanchlid Quite true, however sashes are for girly men, unless you're a Scot. Torso strap would be fine still sounds girly.. Looks like the 'body belt' his holding extra eyes. The mighty Tri Klops would concur. Period.
@Aearonjer Yeah, the body belt might he holding extra eyes as accessories. It's not mentioned if that's what they are or if it's just a symbol of his Machanical abilities.
The head is better on the new one but everything else is better on the Revelation version. I definitely like the shoulder armor better on the Revelation version with the 2-tone green and the little horn/claw thingys.
Yeah, they are both decent versions of Tri-Klops for the Masterverse series. I guess they could have just made one deluxe box with the main figure body and included all the heads, Visors, armors, and accessories. But the Revalation was the idea first going back to marketing of that cartoon shortly before New Eternia even came around to be fair. The idea of New Eternia is to reimagine the core characters with a new What if look or certain alternative concepts that were never used during the Vintage or Classics line from what I understand!
Another fantastic review and video sir. I like the extra sword with him. Maybe l thought they could've added a small gun to pay homeage to a episode it was featured. Yeah this new eternia line is really blowing the origins line out the water now. Good video sir. I like him probably get 2 3or maybe 4😅lol.
Thanks for watching another video on my channel, friend! I'm glad to hear you like and support this figure and New Eternia line. I really think Mattel has done a good job on remastering many of these New Eternia figures. I'm surprised this Tri-Klops didn't come with that filmation gun. The Club greyskull Classics Super7 figure came with one. Aside from that, this Tri-Klops comes with some cool accessories and design. Thanks again for all your support and comments👍
I also liked the Revalation Tri-Klops as well as that 200x design in the show. This New Eternia Tri-Klops has a good mix of all the different variations from different line lines like the Vintage, Classics, and everything in between. This is another great redesign of a fan favorite character in the Masterverse series once again! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌
I agree with that! I think both Older Masters of the Universe collectors and the newer or younger generation collectors like yourself really like this line or specific Figures such as this New Eternia Tri-Klops. The colors and accessories are really cool. He also mixes well with that Revelation Tri-Klops like showed in the review. I'm glad you dig the colors and design!👌
Great review, will be getting Tri Klops, I do wonder if this should have been deluxe and come with a second set of armour and boots so you could have the mini comics design
Thanks for checking out the video! I think he came out really cool! I also thought it would have been better to make him a deluxe figure with the mini comic boots and main armor. Maybe we will see another version with that setup and lighter skin like the true mini comic version like the Origins made!👍
Thanks for stopping in, bro! I try to mix what I can or have that might be cool between the figures! No, I haven't seen your custom He-man! Is there a video?
Woo hoo! This guy AGAIN! I already have 2 of the Revelation version. Thanks Mattel! Don't bother making Masterverse Ninjor or Mantenna. Just keep making repeats of characters we already have. And when the line dies just like 200x, act confused like you didn't see it coming. Because why would you want to learn from past mistakes??? Looks like we're due for another Man-At-Arms in the next wave. Man-At-War?
Lol. I have a feeling a Masterverse Ninjorvand Mantenna is coming later this year in the Masterverse series. I heard Leech is coming in Wave 13 with Syklone for Masterverse. Yes, we're probably gonna get another Man at arms too!
The colour of the face seems to differ significantly from the rest of the body. Why did they do that? I think I prefer the face of the Revelation figure. Also there is some gold app missing (compare armour to packaging). Overall a good figure, but not as (near) perfect as other New Eternia figures (Trap Jaw, Clawful, Meckaneck...).
Thanks for checking the review out and sharing your thoughts! Yeah, I noticed many figures in the Masterverse series that have a tan skin tone that sometimes has a mix or wash of colors that's off from the body a bit. I'm not sure if that's for effect like sunburn or battle damage that sometimes characters in movies have that appears in the face before the body, depending on the armor they have on. Yeah, the art sometimes has additional details that the final figure doesn't because of factory issues or cost cuts for time on the deco. I think he came out really cool. But Meckaneck and Clawful are still a little better, as you mentioned 👌
Thanks for checking the review out! Congrats on that Super7 Snake Mountain purchase! I also have and love that playset. I keep all my origins on it. I showed them in some of my collection tour updates! The Masterverse will also look great on it!
Both the New Eternia Tri-Klops and Meckaneck are definitely great reimagined figures for Masterverse. I'm not sure how your distribution is in Italy or where you pick up your Masterverse figures normally. I would start there. These are just coming out early in the USA. So im assuming Italy might get this wave in June or July. Maybe sooner. Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👌
@@LichRC speriamo bene...o che comunque si trovino. Perché alcuni modelli o li becchi subito o li perdi..e li devi recuperare dal mercato estero strapagando le spedizioni. Con fisto è andata così...lo sto aspettando dagli USA (e spero arrivi) ...con webstor mi è andata bene col preoedine perché vedo che è già duro da trovare ora... Siamo un bel po' sfigati in Italia.
Ooh, question: Is there any figure that came with an open left hand that has a similar skin tone as Mekaneck and Tri-Klops? Is Revelation Tri-Klops skin tone passable enough for New Eternia Tri-Klops? For the hand, i mean. 🤔
Thanks for watching! That's a great question! I noticed this Tri-Klops has the new Style Large pegs and Revelation Tri-Klops has the small Origins pegs. I just looked in my collection at all the newer New Eternia figures with tan hands, and I don't see any with a large peg Style open hand yet.
Love the revelation one but i ll get even this one as soon as possible. Here in italy we have to wait some months...here we are waiting trap jaw and man at arms new eternia, just done pre-order... These revelation /new eternia action figures are great. Many figures are better than motuc ones, only chest size it s the real matter...too small. He man 40th anniversary was too big and strange... A middle size was right. But anyway they looks great with armour. 2023 was a great year for motu.
Thanks for checking the review out! I also liked the Revalation one that I compared. But this New Eternia Tri-Klops has a more Classic inspired feel and design. I now prefer this one over the Revalation Tri-Klops. Yeah, I know many Masterverse or Motu figures in general take many months to get to certain countries outside the USA once they become common here. I wish the Chest design was also a little larger. They gave the new Battle Armor He-man a larger chest that is perfect. I also reviewed that He-man right after this Tri-Klops figure, and I now got to see that rumored new chest. It's perfect for a Masterverse figure. I wish they gave that to Meckaneck and This Tri-Klops. But aside from that. They are still great figures. I'm happy the He-man now has a larger chest!👍
@@Themanchlid good to hear it. Then I ll get even armour he man even if the face is not the classic one (but it s good). Don't know why they did such small chest in these figures.
@ciuffoarancione8929 I'm not sure why they went with smaller chests with these Masterverse figures. I guess they are trying to make them fit in with the other modern 7-inch figures like Spawn and Marvell that have muscles, but more slim and highly articulated.
Thanks for also checking out this New Eternia Tri-Klops review! Yeah, this Tri-Klops is a bit more interesting with the different visors and Classic looking armor. Some people also like the armor from the Revalation Tri-Klops with the classics loin Cloth. That's why I switched some parts between the two. I'm glad you also like this new Tri-Klops figure👍
I'm not sure yet! Battle Armor He-man is next on the list to review. I'm hoping he has the large buck like the Skeletek Figure. But as far as this New Eternia Tri-Klops buck goes from my review. He has a standard Masterverse buck just like the Revelation Tri-Klops, as shown in the review!
Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah that's a good idea for boots. I was trying to come up with a quick Swapping solution without getting into painting. But sometimes Cutting, Gluing and painting is the only options to customize certain parts available from another figure.
