In 1982, Mattel launched their Masters of the Universe line of action figures. While this was a bold new idea for a toy line, many elements in the beginning were reused from previous successful Mattel toy lines. Explore the connection between He-Man and Big Jim, and discover the lost Masters of the Universe action figure that didn’t make the cut on today’s episode of Toysplosion!

I, too, contain elements of my predecessors, re-worked into an entirely new character.

He man got me through my childhood, i literally had nearly all play sets and all figures from 82 upwards. And i was born in 79 so that's how long i have loved this franchise. Wow great times.

@206dave4 4 года назад

The masters of the universe classics line is such a great collection of figures

@Blue_Splash89 4 года назад

I agree , I’ve collected a lot of things but when comes to MOTU classics no other toyline can compete with them , not even legends

@206dave4 4 года назад

Master of Magetism the only toy line that I think could compete was GI joe from the 80s

@Blue_Splash89 4 года назад

No I’m referring to the new modern stuff bro not vintage retro , if Hasbro does GI Joe 6 inch line like the MOTU classics by Mattel with all the playsets and vehicles Small and large figs then I would compare

@joegoesretro 4 года назад

Kenner was notorious for recycling parts from one toy line to another. The whole Robin Hood Prince of thieves line was recycled parts from Super Powers and Star Wars. Also the Joker cycle in the 90’s Batman toy line was the exact same vehicle as one from the Robocop line, with a new projectile. It does make a lot of sense, and not too many kids would’ve noticed.

@doctorgoodguy1 4 года назад

It was the genius of MOTU Classics that lost figures like these got another chance.

@buffmarte 4 года назад

This episode was awesome. Thanks for showing us what Gygor would've looked like if he ever released in the vintage toy line! I definitely would have tried to get one back in the day.

@EdsRetroGeekOut 4 года назад

That custom looks so awesome 🤠 I love learning all this stuff about the motu toyline!

@Icyluigibros456 2 года назад

I love your videos

@ScyllaWyrm 4 года назад

This is fantastic. As a European growing up in the eighties I never knew Battle Cat, Panthor and Zoar were part of the Big Jim toyline. I did, however, notice the broadly used, cheap mold swaps for different figures back then (which I now consider to be a classic MOTU feature). In that regard, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that they were interswapping between toylines. It wouldn't be a far-fetched idea either that the same miser of a senior product manager was behind it all. Thanks for the information.

@Spintechfilms 4 года назад

Hey Pixel Dan,just wanted to drop by and say your videos have been a huge help in these times we are living in, watching them while playing video games or mocking up DIY stuff, or anything while im stuck inside really helps alot Keep up the great work and stay safe

@oldschooltommyim 4 года назад

Awesome custom Gygor by a legend now If only you could get that other version made, it would be awesome to see He-man riding him.

@Liquidcadmus 4 года назад

You always provide such interesting and well researched information, really cool to learn these facts!

@ChaosFox0 4 года назад

That vintage Gygor is gorgeous. I'm super jealous!

@brucewayne2574 4 года назад

Stay safe Dan. You have made me so nostalgic about my childhood toys. I'm gonna collect the new origins figures when they are released. I can't wait haha

@dazwannawzad9272 4 года назад

Kenner was notorious for re-using existing parts and molds (SW/Super Powers-Robin Hood), and I think had Gygor been released originally in the line, it would have fit. Great video, ty!!!

@ismaelrodriguez6420 4 года назад

I grew up with Big Jim as one of my favorite action figures then my brother came along and had a whole lot of Masters of the Universe figures. Great memories. Fun fact, the prototype for He-Man was sculpted on a Big Jim body.

@jeremyburdge8573 4 года назад

Nice video Dan and i will tell you when i found out about the og Masters Of the Universe Gygor figure i was pumped and finding out they were going to use the Big Jim toy to make it i was sold. even though i didn't know about this figure in the 80's finding out about was so cool and i planed on making a a custom so i can add it to my old school collection.

@CarrollDance 4 года назад

Dope video!!! Have you ever done a personal top 10 fav toys from your collection? The way you deliver content it would be super cool. Toy history then your personal connection to it. I’d enjoy that video!!

@lythronaxvivasrvg1573 4 года назад

I love this section in your channel, Pixel Dan 😀 !!, I was wondering.... when are you going to talk about the Jurassic Park/World toy lines?? It will be GREAT to know all about it, from Kenner to Mattel. Greetings from Mexico !!

@alexgarbe1971 4 года назад

Another great episode, Dan! Never heard of this. I didn't know about Jim either. Lots of cool info in this one!

@cf2228 3 года назад

He-man actually copied Skeletor, Trap jaw and Man e faces from Big Jim.

@Funckle73 4 года назад

Fun show. I love the intro animation/music!

@adrionjones 4 года назад

Very interesting. He didn't seem like he would be big enough for He-Man to mount his back. Though a Fighting Gorilla along a Battle Cat definitely sounds interesting. I'm still very glad that I picked him up in Classics. I saw a pic of him in I believe some German MOTU audiobook art that was incredible.

@wumpus976 3 года назад

I feel like he would’ve fit right in with the Powers of Grayskull line, if that ever actually came out back in the 80’s!

@cowpuddles4851 4 года назад

This was great! I love action figure history. Big Jim reminds me of Fisher Price’s line of Adventure People. I’d love to see a video on them as well. Thanks Dan!

@ia5662 4 года назад

great segment!

@kaylemathewcomendador6964 4 года назад

That custom Gygor sure looks neat 😁👍. Maybe he’d feel less out of place if he was released properly in the vintage line. I should probably check out the other stuff the customizer you asked to make him sometime soon 🤔. And the one from the concept art sure looks interesting 🤯. Makes me wanna see as another custom like that and/or him being a new separate character in the MOTU Classics line. Nice video still 👍.

@CineSalvaje 4 года назад

Great video!

@sparklingsammy9148 4 года назад

Holy crap Dan that is an awesome custom Gygor you got there. I think he would have fit in fine with the craziness that was 80's MOTU! :D

@jordil6152 4 года назад

I like the reused sculpt better than the resculpt. Gygor's charm, for me, is that he's like a gorilla but definitely not a gorilla. Just a crazy wide-eyed axe-wielding monster. What a beautiful toy.

@penmanovicxxxxxx2694 3 года назад

@TheBuntra8061 3 года назад

Dan, correct me if I'm wrong. Mattel actually used the jungle cat 1st in 1971 for Tarzan and the Jungle cat. Then used it for Big Jim in 1976. Then Tarzan was re released in 1977.

@8ByteBrian 4 года назад

*I never thought I'd see the day Dan would have to tell me to buy toys* Seriously I think Gigor while he does...barely fit into the MOTU universe, looks more like something out of the Blackstar universe. I think if the had gone with the second idea, closed the mouth or made the face a little less terrifying, & kept the idea for him to have that "Rio-Blast" looking mount for He-Man to sit in, MOTU fans would have gone CRAZY back in the day. All in all very interesting, MOTU is my favorite toy line ever to collect for & there is always new ground to uncover. I just saw a new one of a kind Skeletor prototype figure was found, with authentic purple He-Man legs(instead of the usual webbed feet).

I kinda like better the art concept for a red gorilla as a mount for He-Man, but it's still really nice to have Gygor the way he is in the Classics line. Great custom figure, btw!

So does that mean the Battle Cat battle armor will fit on the Big Jim tiger and the black panther? And this armor on the original gorilla. I'd love to see those mash-ups and similar.

Does anyone know if Roger Sweet was ever sent one of the classics Gygor? Would have been cool if someone did.

@yvonnerogers6429 4 года назад

💯👍🏻❤️🙏🧼 Love it! That lost figure looks like a one-off character from the original television series. I wonder what the writers would have done with him. More than they did with Stinkor, probably! There’s many an 80’s parent, I imagine, who wishes they’d released this instead of Stinkor. Best. Stay safe.

Hey Pixel since there's no comic Con, what are the chances of you and Randy from neca doing a collab on RU-vid to show upcoming figures... It always great when you two meet.
