I just did a random search on Big Bad Toy Store for Skeletor, and found this one. I'm happier with the Filmation style, but the original Skeletor is alright I guess. He's waiting in my Pile of Loot for another figure (Black Series Cara Dune) to finally arrive!
Excellent! Love this line. Never had any H-Man toys. Love this kind of “tribute” to a classic line. It’s like the toys we remember, not the ones that actually were.
These 5.5's are an excellent way of starting (or continuing) a classic MOTU collection in my opinion. I started buying a bunch of the original 5.5 inch figures and also purchased some of the Super7 5.5 figures. They go perfectly together and most importantly scale correctly with the vintage playsets and vehicles. As far as I am concerned these are a continuation of the original line. I am all about the 5.5 scale, and I am REALLY all about the price. As a guy with kids and bills it is sometimes hard to collect the things I would like to. But at $20 a figure this is a really affordable way to build a nice collection and not break the bank! I hope Super7 continues with the 5.5 vintage line. I have already pre-ordered everything coming ;)
I'm 35 now, 4 year old daughter. She is playing with my old wwf hasbro figures 😂 i started to collect this Super7 MOTU figures, they so cool like back in the 80s. My collection is nearly complete
Hey Michael, I recently purchased a Funko Savage World Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees action figure, just for the fact that it looked like the hold he man style toys, after I unboxed it and started admiring it I moved one of the legs slowly and gently and the leg snapped right off, and that right there made me miss the little rubber leg connectors from the old He Man toys
Skeletor is one of my favorite Villains. It is nice to see the animated version. I like the staff is two-toned to provide a nice contrast. I agree some tv shows and toys should be kept intact. I feel they are trying to relive that magic with a modern look or style.
I love these Super 7 versions. I'm trying to get every figure they make. They are all very show accurate. Which is why Skeletor doesn't have those extra details on his uniform. But it's so great that Super 7 is making these, and I really enjoyed this review.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Super7 isn't making them anymore, but there are still a few in stock at Bigbadtoystore: www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?SearchText=super7+masters+vintage&o=4 or search "Super7 Masters Vintage".
It’s cool that skeletor came with 2 full power swords, my Black Orko is missing one of his wands out of the package. I emailed them today glad it’s not only me.
Great review Micheal. And super nice to know that Super7 replaced Skeletors missing half Power Sword! Did you have to give them your reciept number or shipping number? From The Loyal Subjects product i bought years ago, it was acting broken at the waist right out of package due to a molding process that was done terribly wrong, and in the end they wouldnt replace it. They claim it was beause i didnt have a reciept but they were reluctant from the start.
Hi Michael, I love that people get the chance to own what I took for granted as a kid. What I would like to know though is, do they smell like they used too out of the packet!!!
Oh man I know what you mean. I'm 39 and when certain plastic smells pass my nose I'm instantly transferred back to the early 80s and I can see myself opening up a toy. It's a nostalgia smell.
Nice Review. Glad you got an extra part from Super 7, Mine didn't come with the skirt armour and when I contacted them to ask for an extra part they told me to contact the store in which I bought it from ( I got it from a con ) rather annoyed tbf!
Thanks Michael...as always, a simple yet informative and awesome video!...I always love my original Masters of the Universe collection..but unfortunately I was too young to understand the value of keeping and taking good care of them until it was too late...all has gone.now..boo hoo . :-(...anyway back to your video, I love it how the Super 7's power sword halves are slightly thinner when combined as compared to the original.
Great review! I need to collect these as well. Your version of Panthor is in great condition! It looks so new! Is that the original or the Commemorative?
They had a lot of trouble matching toy lines with their cartoon representations in the 80s. Not sure if it was too much liberty given to the artists who drew the cartoon or problems making what the artists drew into actual toys....
Just don’t email them that He-man’s shield broke when trying to put it on. They told me they only sold preorders and could not replace a single part, guess that’s not really the case. I had a negative experience with Super7 and will no longer support their below average products
