Yeah, figures like is what definitely makes the Motu line really fun going back to the vintage figures. Origins has more Snakemen variants like this coming out this year, for sure! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
There were 6 figures supposed to be released at the end of the vintage line. Heroes: *1)* Plasmar, *2)* Strobo, *3)* Slamurai, and Snake Men: *4)* Snake Trooper, *5)* Lord Gr'asp, *6)* Terroar.
Yeah they gonna be a part of the power of Grayskull series in the 80s. They plans for a bunch of figures. I only named a couple in this review. I think lady slither was also part of that plan.
@@Themanchlid Nah, Lady Slither was invented for the Classics line only, from what I've read. These 6 figures had no new tooling, they were just a bunch of mixed parts that were recoloured. Thanks for the vid anyway.
@@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth Yes lady slither had plans for the classics line. But she has vintage inspired art and designs going back to the 80s from what I found along side with Terroar and several other Snake concept figures that never made it to the vintage line but now all coming to the Origins. But who knows what the real plans were with all of these figures then. Some of the info online is mixed. Thanks again for watching and sharing your comments!
Great review! I like this figure for what it is and I’m glad they have made the character a shapeshifter to explain the heavy reuse. I don’t know, I’m not keen on so much heavy reuse. I would prefer mattel to start making new unique pieces of armor and weapons instead of using the same ones again and again, especially face sculpts - we don’t need Plasmar to have Fisto’s face. They should think out of the box a bit more with origins
Thanks for checking out the review! Yeah, the reuse of parts is no surprise on this figure going back to the vintage core designs and concepts to use existing parts and make another story and characters of that story like Terroar, Plasmar and lord Grasp. It's still really fun to see this figure in Origins now!
@bossk222 Wow, that's great to hear! Yeah, this figure is getting pushed out to different areas now, then originally speculated. He is kind of cool with all those mixed parts. Thanks for watching and sharing your figure haul updates 👍
This guy looks great. I love the clever mixing & matching of parts. Not only does it fit right in with the ethos of the vintage line but it's also something we can do pretty easily ourselves to make new characters with how the Origins line is designed. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that they've been going just a little heavy on the Snake guys. They all look awesome, but I think it's time the other factions got more attention. And Powers of Grayskull!
Thanks for checking out the review and posting your thoughts and comments on this figure. I'm glad you enjoy the overall design even though it's just a bunch of preexisting Motu parts used with a couple of different colors. But that's exactly what always made the Motu brand of figures fun. I also enjoy seeing all new stuff as well. But I'm a sucker for another repaint or variant figure to add to the collection. Terroar fits in perfectly for that! Yes, Mattel is definitely going all in with the Snakemen faction. They have even more figures coming from the vintage concepts that made it to the 80s line. Also, more power of Grayskull figures coming as well👍
@Themanchlid Powers of Grayskull coming 2025 I think? Can't wait to see what they have in store for it. I'm fine with all the Snake Men but they're starting to overtake the Horde haha
Wow! Congrats on finding those two figures on the shelf in store this morning! Thanks, awesome! Yeah, the neck stretched looks like the thing a little bit! Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your toy haul updates 👍
Finally caught up, at least until the Prince Adam & Cringer review, lol! Terroar is an interesting mashup of parts. I had never known about the “lost wave” until I went down the MotU rabbit hole again with Pixel Dan’s Classics reviews a few years ago. So, I’ve been curious how he and Lord Gr’asp would translate into Origins figures. He definitely looks cool, I just wish the neck looked better. They’ve now used that neck extension piece 3 times, for Rattlor, Rattle-Hood from the Diabolical Snake Invasion 4-pack, and now Terroar. And every time it’s been utilized, it’s a tad too thick for the heads and looks like it’s just popped onto the top of the body instead of extending from the inside of the body (like it should look). The neck piece should really have a peg on the bottom that plugs into the body and not the other way around, if that makes any sense. (Like how the arms, hands, and boots work.) But that would require an entirely new buck, obviously. Plus, the engineering behind that would probably put more stress on the peg when pulling the pieces apart. That’s something I’ve observed with the figures I’ve already opened and why I don’t want to do it very often. So, I guess the options for the neck are limited. It doesn’t look terrible, but I really wish we had the quick-strike neck-popping action feature on these characters. Great review as always! Unfortunately it’ll probably be a while, if ever, until I get this guy as I still don’t have any of the other Snake Men outside of the Mattel Creations exclusives. The last full wave I collected was Wave 8. At this point, I would need to spend a significant amount of money to catch up on every Origins-related release and we just don’t have those kinds of funds lying around to spend. 🫤 ~Damon
Thanks for catching up on all my videos! Yeah, he's definitely an interesting mash up with all those pre-existing Figure parts. I think it's really cool to see these lost vintage inspired figures come to the Origins that never made it to the vintage line. I have never seen Pixal dans video about these. I guess I already had that classics pack around the same time. But I wasn't reviewing then. I'm not surprised they just reused the Rattlor neck again. The Vintage concept figure was gonna use the Rattlor body and neck, but with the Rattlor action feature, I believe. Of course, the Origins just went with the ball peg system. The whiplash head doesn't really articulate well. Only left to right on the body and the neck extension. I guess I'm not planning to really do much with the head pose anyway. Aside, look forward. It would have been nice to see a newer neck piece. But we got what I expected going back to the vintage concept, but with the newer already designed Origins parts. It's still a fun figure to get when he is more available!
Thanks for checking out the video, man! I appreciate the support and positive thoughts! I heard someone say they found this figure, and Lord grasp in at Smyths toy store, which is around Europe or Germany area.
Yeah, I remember reviewing that set a couple of years ago. I think this armor is slightly different with it being pegged on now. Thanks for watching and adding that info.
Thanks for watching as always! Awesome hauls on both of those figures at Smyths toys! Yeah, they were supposed to come out in the 80s and never did. Now we get them for Origins 40 years later!👌
Not a problem! I don't ask people subscribe. But it is very appreciated and helps the algarithm push the videos out to lore people who might be interested! Thanks again 👍
Love you actually give a good look into the comic since I don’t open mine but want to see the story. I only wanted Lord Gr’asp and had him in my cart & before I could pay for him that morning on Walmart online he was sold out out. So definitely hoping I can find him in store. Love getting these unreleased characters from the og line. I like they made Terroar in blurb on the back of the card that his an alien ally of the snake men and not actual snake man cause he does look odd
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Yeah, the Walmart sale sold out in a minute or so. Scalpers and bots! However, many people are finding these in stores now. These will also be available at certain online retailers once the exclusive agreement is over with Walmart sometime this summer or fall. I try to show a little bit of the comic as clear as I can. But I try not to spend too much time on the images or words because many people just want to focus on the figure review instead. Some channels will make a whole video about those comics and spend much more time on the details.
Yeah, concepts were never released during the vintage days. Only the dinosaur figures were part of that vintage series, and then from what I remember. Thanks for watching as always 👍
Love this figure. I know it’s just all reused parts but really like it. Can’t wait to get one. Hopefully BBTS or EE gets them. Cringed looks cool! Can’t wait!
Thanks for checking out the review out already, bro! Yeah, I hear that! I'm a sucker for weird Motu variant figures with new colors and the reuse of parts! Hopefully, BBTS will carry these once Walmart is finished with the exclusive deal, which should be around the summer or so.👍
@@Themanchlid You know. You and I weren't fortunate in 83. We had to take off the Battle Cat's armor and make him look like Cringer, lol. It didn't have the same feel as the cartoon.
@TheRickster. Lol. Yeah, that's the first thing I thought about finally getting this set in hand. Well, we have a second chance to fill on those missing figure gaps in our 80s Motu collection with this Origins line!👍
Great review! Thanks! I'm a hard pass on this one. For some reason, I was expecting the Whiplash tail on this guy. That Rattlor tail looks like a deflated birthday balloon. I'm OK witth remixes of parts and repaints, but this guy doesn't seem to be a very clever combination. I know that Mattel is recreating an existing prototype, so they couldn't get super creative, but the gimpy tail, the moon boots, and all of the glued-on parts makes this one really unappealing, to me.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on this figure and design. Yeah, the parts are what I expected to see, just going off the other Origins counter part figures like Rattlor and Whiplash, for example. Rattlor already had that hollow tail, which I never liked. It should have been solid like the Origins Whiplash tail is. But it's cool to see these vintage inspired concept figures that never were released in the 80s toy line and now added to the Origins series as a wacky looking variant figure.
Yeah, there are definitely different custom options you can mix around with this figure from other Origins figures. I didn't get to be involved in mixing and matching parts to cut down on video time, and I felt the main focus of his look should be how he is already mixed with the parts like the vintage design figure was going to look.
Love the Terroar figure but imo looks better without the neck extention ie short neck looks better, I think the Trap Jaw torso piece was glued on because that piece was molded for Trap Jaw and probably wasn't the best fit for Rattlor hence why it's glued on 🐍
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! Yeah, the neck extension can look a little awkward compared to the head being on the body without it. But im probably gonna display my figure with it. I'm sure they there's a reason why it was better to glue and peg the Trap-jaw piece. It can be removed with some work.
Some of it I like some I don't. Just a bit too much reuse. Though I get it, they have the parts why not use them. Saves them money to spend on other awesome figures. However this one is a pass. Thanks for another awesome review!
Thanks for watching as always! Yeah, this is just another Vintage inspired concept, Snakemen figure that's a mash up of parts that never came out in the 80s. It's just fun nastalgia or what could have been with figures like this then. It's definitely a pass for some people for the reasons you mentioned!
Thanks for stopping in as always! Yeah, I didn't expect anything over the top with this figures design for the Origins. I kind of knew what to expect from the Classics Terroar and images from the vintage concept art.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I appreciate the support. I also love the cartoon line and have more figures coming down the road. I was so excited to get the New Adam and Cringer Pack today. They look great!
Pretty cool. I'll pick him up when I see him. I usually find everything about 2 months after you post a review. The only figure I really can't wait to get is Necro-Conda.
Thanks for stopping in as always, man! Yeah, he's definitely a must-have Snakemen figure variant! Oh, Necro Conda is high on my list! I haven't seen it anywhere online yet.
Yeah, that's a problem with toy collecting or any hobby. The cost and storage. I set my figures up on shelves or my display areas, which is a large shed/ garage or a man cave as we call it. I showed a couple of toy tours in the past with my 26 years of toy collecting. Sometimes, I go get rid of or sell older figures that I no longer want to make room for newer stuff. It has to go somewhere or just plain go to keep things moving. Thanks for watching ✌️
Yeah, the same can be said with many of the vintage and Origins designs or figures. They all use the same arms, legs, and bucks. Certain figures have different designs of coarse like Ram Man or the Buzz-Off legs, for example. I think mixing certain figures parts with new colors is what makes the MOTU line fun sometimes. And of course, it's important to get all new tooled figures. Terroar, like Lord, grasp was just more shape shifting Snakemen characters in the series or, of course, a cheap way to throw some new figures with back a story in the line to save on tooling costs. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments!
@SusBuster Oh, ok! Lol. Yeah, I try to mix and match certain parts or heads that might look cool or be fun for people who like doing custom matches. Skeletors heads with the hood works good on just about any figures body. It looks creepy and funny at the same time on a figure such as Terroar, for example, because of the colors and already wacky design! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
