Skeletor is the master strategist. Instead of fighting his opponents head on, he waits at the top of Snake Mountain, where his enemies slip and falls on the stairs.

I keep snickering at the idea of He-man busting through that wall, beginning to say something heroic, then seeing the prisoner he unintentionally clobbered.

For the price - I want Lights, Sound, Elevators and a Television screen somewhere!!

I remember my mom buying me this when I was a kid. She bought me a used one at a Hispanic flea market in El Paso Tx. I remember her paying 50 cents for it and it was missing some parts but I loved it. One day I left it on the couch folded up n my grandmother had came to visit n she woke up at night to use the restroom and all she could see was a shadowy evil face on the couch looking at her. She woke us all up with her screaming. Good memories, thank you.

I had the original as a child. I played with it during a lot of years. I used it as the Ninja Turtles hideout as well.

My grandmother worked at a J.C. Penny that would do a toy display for Christmas. That's how I got my Slime Pit.

The "Worlds Smallest" and Mega Construx figures really make it look like a mountain.

I believe that, however much it costs, it really does have too many gaps, starting with the fact that there is no hook to close it or that a large part of it needs to be dismantled in order to close it. sincerely for the price I would have expected much more, more refined interior details and more accessories in general since it still looks bare inside. glad to have saved 1000 euros.

My daughter moved out and now I have room for this!

For that price, it should have had the microphone like the old one.

Great video. It scales amazing with 5.5 scale Origins and Vintage MOTU. Looks even more grandiose.

Dan, I’ve been with you - from Scotland - through yours and mine’s thick and thins. Jobs, no job, new job! Your videos always sold MOTUC to me. Love them and I appreciate your heart and soul. Keep on keeping on and all power to you! Good Journey! I love this review!

Awesome review Dan! Personally I think they dropped the ball making the stairs so worthless. I can see people wanting to use this to display their collections in dramatic poses and fight sequences. Idk why they wouldn't make the stairs just a little bit bigger. This takes up so much space people are going to it to double as shelf space to keep their collections. That prison is a mess. It should have been wider to fit at least 2 figures in and block that hole with a solid wall. The bust away wall should have been several interlocking pieces that shatter when hit vs falling over. Lastly I'd have made the blood waterfall semi transparent and the crystal ball on the table transparent with a small LED and include a viewmaster like disk with several images of he-man and crew. The LED could cast the image from the disk onto the inside of the crystal ball to emulate Skeletor spying on them. For $600 I think these are all reasonable inclusions. Love the monster pit, throne and table regardless.

You should do a commercial that's old school like the Street Sharks commercial where they had stackable cups and the pencils to karate chop and a tiny pool of water, I've always wanted to duplicate a set like that with the water, the cups, the lighting and some sandpaper that's supposed to be the dirt and gravel part. Sets for marketing action figures in the early 90s were awesome!

Thanks for the in-depth look, Pixel Dan. it's interesting that you mentioned the playset being smaller than originally projected. That certainly would seem to account for the cave entrance, the wolf locker, and the jail cell all seeming to be too small. Also, that war table has a spot that appears to be where a button was once planned. Perhaps for a light up feature? This project was clearly a major undertaking for Super 7. But so much of this premium set feels like it was unfinished. Possibly even rushed at the very end -- so the project could finally get out the door and off the books. It'd be really interesting to here what the original production plan for this project had been.

My God, THIS is the stuff childhoods are made of!

I honestly think it looks the best with the Vintage lineup. I agree it looks like an awesome store setup.

Got my Snake Mountain today - now have it setup and displayed, loving every bit of it. I am grateful I got it when I did, holding just the throne in hand, the reality is that piece alone could easily go for $70-100, same with the dungeon pit, the paint detail is just killer. What we got here was something that is unlikely to ever happen again, the sheer size made every logistical aspect of this thing unrealistic to be repeated on any large scale release. As I opened and unpackaged this thing, I realized it was the last time I would likely see anything of this scale and quality for MOTU anytime soon. Anyone that actually backed the project and purchased this, is likely not going to be disappointed at all.

I never 'got' MOTU, or ever owned any of the toys - I was far too old when it first became popular. (Although I thought the Dolph Lundgren movie was, and is, great fun. Don't judge me!) Saying that, Nowadays, I do find the figures somewhat fascinating, and it's great that there are lots of people, like your good self, who love them, and have kept MOTU alive. Thanks!

Finally! I am not a masters of the universe collector but I couldn't wait for this review. I hope super 7 or Neca recreates the old TMNT playsets ☺

Looks like the old snake mountain. I had the old snake mountain from the 80s collectibles. Boy i miss those days. Wanted to go backvto those days. Felt being a child with these toys

Dan, I want to thank you for all your videos and information on this toyline over the years. I am 39 years old, loved the vintage figures as a kid and was obsessed with MOTU at an early age, but it was your review of MOTUC Skeletor that first made me aware of the new line and got me back into this franchise. You reawakened my love for MOTUC and I now have almost every figure they have made (except that damn Slime Pit He-man that costs a million quid on Ebay) Your enthusiasm, honesty, passion and dedication made me love these toys and characters all the more and for that I am eternia-ly grateful.

I really wish there was a cartoon-accurate Snake Mountain playset. I was never a fan of those faces.

As 4the prison... most ppl captured in war, generally have their armor and weapons removed.🤷🏾‍♂️😉 Yeah I wish it were bigger too.👍🏾

This brings me back so many memories of my Childhood from the 1980's and I never forgotten about this playset at all because it was the coolest thing I've seen in my life so far and I'm almost 43 years old this coming autumn of 2021

Great review Dan! I started watching your channel because of your Master of the Universe Classics review so many years ago. Snake Mountain looks so awesome.

Great job! Snake Mountain is here, so exciting

Villains always had the coolest things back in the 80s n 90s.

21:24 That little storage compartment is not for the havoc staff, it is the place where Skeletor keeps his broom, mop and bucket for cleaning...

Awesome! What a ride it's been since 2008! Now I'm going to go open mine! Thanks for the review Dan!

Thank you for the extensive review Pixel Dan!!

You made me feel a kid again its definitely worth the money very cool

Excellent review Pixel Dan

I can see my 5 years old self totally in love with this set

MY EYES ARE SHINING BEHOLD THATS WONDERFULL TREASURE!! AWESOME!!

I love your opening credits. So much. Great review too! Cheers!

Great job Dan!

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! The artwork is insane!!!

Love seeing the scale compatibility with the vintage figures. Thanks for doing that! And World Smallest looks pretty awesome in there, really captures the magnitude of the Filmation cartoon.

Its cool for about 2 seconds before you realized its a $700 paper weight. They could've put so many little inexpensive features in this. A few lights, small speaker, a Boulder (Indiana Jones type that runs down the bridge), rubber hand puppet, pull string elevator, inner ramps/stairs, Interior weapon racks, even a little moat directly under the snake head that sucked water up and out the snakes mouth like the lava on 200x snake mountain design.

When you said "good journey"? I felt that.

Excellent review! Thank you! I hope to get my hands on one of these, someday.

Amazing piece, Dan. Thanks for sharing.

So nice Dan!! 🎉

Excellent work! Best review all youtube!

Awesome Review. Thanks for the great video. I think the playset really shines with the Vintage/Origins figures. Congrats on owning such an awesome display piece.

SOOOOO awesome! Super envious of everyone who got one.

Great review! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on this MOTUC journey plateau, Dan!

Great in depth review. The piece that was just a sticker before with the tentacles is amazing!

Great review Dan. Looks amazing 👏

I remember the day I got mine like it was yesterday (it wasn't). I felt 4 again. I went live on facebook and made a few friends super jealous. It was some coin for sure but I play with it every time I walk past it. Works with all my vintage figures, 200x, classics and origins ...no one looks out of place. They did a great job honestly.

What a perfect, perfect review.

The Origins size figures might be more in scale with that Snake mountain.

Great review Dan, thank you

If the throne, table and monster pool were available just by themselves I would definitely buy them. All in all a great vintage style playset.

Awesome Dan! Can't believe it's been 13 years.

watched this many times because i know i wont be able to order this anymore. just drooling at nice this looks, its far from perfect but there is nothing that comes close in the market. Giving it some mood lighting will really make this playset shine.

I think its brilliant that snake mountain gets the love. However it is one gimmick: the size. Once you get past that it will get old very quickly. While its nice that there is the bone throne and table in there, you cant fit the throne and table on one level (nit picky i know) what else can you do with it? Hmmm not much really. An expensive good lucking backdrop/shell with some nice touches.

Great job Dan!! A big hug from Spain! 🤗🇪🇸

We love ya Dan!

Thank you very much Dan for this epic and emotional review, the last Motu Classics review, (for now I hope), it's so beautiful and great playset and thanks to you for describe part for part to know it, take care so much and blessings to you and the Pixel family! 😀👍😎🤘

this is great I used to watch this as a kid every day!

That looks amazing. I just cannot justify spending that much money. This hobby has become to expensive for me.

Soooo cool, love it

Taking a break from Transformers collecting and jumped down the MOTU rabbit hole. Been really enjoying your videos and you've gotten me to spend a few thousand lol. I ordered this playset today from BBTS and can't wait to set it up. Thank you for your in depth reviews.

Awesome piece!! I'd love to see a Technodrome of that scale.

Word up. Looks great!

I get the nostalgia which is great cause it is a callback to the original set but tbh it's not worth the $600 with some of its issues it looks like it should have cost atleast $200-250 maybe $300 if it had the electronics

Managed to track one down! Today is the day finally it arrives,so good to see motu back on your channel

I don’t know why everyone is complaining about the jail cell being to small. That little section is the door and the cave next to IS the rest of the cell... 🤷‍♂️

Amazing review, Dan! This is a fantastic capper on the line, and I hope everyone that wanted one was able to get one, and that they're super happy with it. I think I would have bought it if it was just the left half of the mountain, though I realize that a lot fewer people would have been interested in that.

Beautiful 🤩

Awesome review, Dan!!! Thank you so much!!! Wish I was living in the US to get this more easily...

Awesome review

WOW JUST WOW AMAZING

Awsome review bro

Wow that is a crazy set!

What an incredible send-off to the line that was Masters Of The Universe Classics!

Great review

Looks fantastic and v good review by you

I used to have the original. I took apart the micro phone when I was like 10, it had a small audio amplifier with an LM820M. The strange sound effect was simply made by springs running the length of the plastic holder connected above the microphone. Speaking wobbled the springs that made a spooky voice

Great magnificent piece of art.

It’s sad that something so kool has so many flaws. The stairs and the dungeon. Silly really

Nice Dan that’s an awesome looking poster 👍

What a playset!

Great review can’t wait til my snake mountain arrives!

So awesome , Snake Mountian

Great video Dan I'm still waiting for mine to ship.

Great video. I wish you would have done a comparison time with the back side of the set. I wanted to see that sticker that is now a 3D sculpt.

I'm looking forward to getting mine, even if a lot of the features have been scaled down so much that they're actually useless. I wish it wasn't the end of Classics though.

Exquisitamente maravilloso, estoy llorando de la emoción...

Excellent, bro

Funny that Skeletor can spy on anyone from that table but never see Prince Adam/He-Man transformation.

Trivia: Snake mountain and the throne room originally belonged to Hordak. But Skeletor claims that it now belongs to him. So Hordak ended up with the fright zone.

Cool one of my favorite collection

"The bone throne" is what my boyfriend calls his recliner

That Skeletor looks majestic up there on top of this actual mountain Awesome

I can live with most of the issues you spoke of with it. The only thing I really expected was there to be extension floor plates just like what they did with Grayskull. Thanks for the video, great job with it. It's surreal to be at this point with Classics, but this playset was one heck of a way to end it.
