Exactly. I love the New Eternia redesign. This is why New Eternia exists and why, imho, it’s the best MOTU subline. It takes inspiration from the classic designs and updates them and takes them to a new level. It’s familiar and different at the same time. A breath of fresh air in a line filled with nostalgia.
Thank you for your review. I just gotten mine delivered and I love Vykron. Another suggestion would be that the "Space Armor" can be a alternative for New Eternia Stratos. And the Eagle Armor goes well Man at Arms especially with the green body suit that he has. But otherwise a awesome figure
Thanks Russell, very much, and those are both indeed really cool ideas! I hope you share the mixes you end up with. I think it's going to be great to see all these cool combinations collectors become inspired to do. So awesome. 🙂
Great review of Vykron! His battering ram or door buster is upside down, and he should be holding the ram by feeding the handle through the bottom of his hand, not the top. That's why the handle pivots at the other end.
Appreciate it, Duane! Mattel probably isn't pleased, but it certainly is a better alternative than buying three... and we collectors need to save money where we can! 🙂
This review was the one I was looking forward to watching for this figure. It was very enjoyable and interesting to see your take on this Masterverse Vykron figure because it has so much history behind it. Seeing the accessories on a regular Revelation buck was almost impossible to tell them apart. Great review as usual!
Thanks buddy. I always appreciate you being supportive when I go on (and on) about the lore. A little behind-the-scenes, sometimes I cut portions of it out because 10 minutes have passed and I've yet to discuss the actual figure. 😄 Alas... your cool feedback definitely keeps me going so thanks, very much!
You sound so happy and excited in this vid, AJ! I haven't picked one up yet, but now I'm sorely tempted! I love that space suit. You blew my mind when you noted the Grayskull space suit comparison. "Oh, my god...THAT'S why it looked so familiar!" It's funny you mention Zodac, because he definitely could be posed alongside him as another cosmic enforcer! I actually find the tank armor charming, even if it looks more like a snapping turtle than an eagle! ;) Seriously though, I love the color scheme, and the Man-at-Arms-esque collar piece! Another great video. Love your chill and diplomatic style, AJ!
Yeah, I can get a little bit excited. 😄 Sometimes I just have too much passion and I can't keep it in. I so love that they pulled from 1982's Castle Grayskull cardboard inserts for influence! The Eagle armor is a little harder to nail down. Someone suggested Bionatops, perhaps? Maybe! Either way, it does have charm, you're right about that. Thanks so much for the nice, nice words. I really loved reading your feedback very much! Thanks! 🙂
Nicely done on the review, and good to know the other parts can be swapped with relative ease. I'v heard it suggested the Tank Head can only fit on Vykron's but I'm guessing you managed to slip it over without any problem. Did you have any difficulty getting the bracer off Revelation He-Man's right arm, as mine feels like it's sculpted/glued on and I don't want to risk breaking it to pull the thing off. If New Adventures He-Man was more common outside the US, I'd put the Space Armour on that figure, as I think the orange would work well with the blue trousers. Otherwise I may do Tri-Klops or Man at Arms for Tank and He-Man for Space as you did.
Really glad you enjoyed the review Thanks! 🙂 ---- Vykron's Eagle Armor helmet fit over Revelation He-Man's head with great ease, but it is EXTREMELY loose on it. Some may want to stick some cotton balls or black material up in there with it to tighten up the fit. One of He-Man's bracers slid right off when I removed his hand. I was like, wow, that was easy! The second figure required a small flathead screwdriver to slide underneath it full circle to pop it off. It scuffed the wrist, but I didn't mind personally because I knew it would be permanently covered (and I already have a couple Revelation He-Man figures displayed as Revelation He-Man. 🙂) ------ Oooo New Adventures He-Man and Tri-Klops. Either would look pretty wild I think. Wow, I really like your thinking!
Mine is OUT FOR DELIVERY today. I'm going to upload a video as fast as possible. I'm making 3 separate characters out of this guy. I have an extra Zodac body that I painted white for the Space Armor & a green Man-At-Arms body with Zodac claw feet for the green Eagle Armor.
Nice! I hope you like your Vykron! ---- I just checked out your Evil-Lyn custom video and will check out more this weekend. Nicely done! I'd love to share some pictures of your Lyn on our social media pages if you ever want to share some. Either way, great work! 🙂
@@foreterniaofficial HELL YEAH! I'll take some pics (I was planning to anyway). Where should I send them? Or I could post them in my community page & you could just copy/save them. Let me know which is better for you.
@@foreterniaofficial that’s so cool when they include them, any sort of extra artwork to enhance something (especially MOTU artwork) is that extra mile to appreciate the figure
@@mikep2629Definitely! And the price point is great. I often look at the Super7 ultimates figures in comparison and wonder why (in comparison) are their prices so high. $50-60 per figure? Ouch! We get a lot here for $35. 🙂
Thank you. I'm looking forward to get mine. I will be using the revelations Faker for Eagle and revelation Grayskull for SpaceAce to make them their own characters as well. BTW you have Eagle's gun upside down. its supposed to be held like a minigun
Thanks for the helpful correction regarding the gun. It definitely makes more sense now. Appreciate it very much! And I LOVE your idea using Revelation Faker and King Grayskull to make more distinctive alternate characters. Love it! 🙂
Yeah, it's really a nice display feature. And when we order from Mattel Creations, we're already buying it blind anyway, so I think that makes it easier to accept too.
I'd like to try those suits on different figures. Like the tank armor on Triclops, or the space armor on Zodac. Omg, is this how girls feel with their Barbies and clothes, lol. Shakes and lowers my head.
Appreciate the thanks very much, and it is so over the top isn't it! 😄 But I get how you find that appealing! My appreciation already has grown for it the small amount of time I've owned it!
Dang! Just opened my figure for Christmas and mine is missing the green chest armor for the tank suit. Still looks cool with the standard leather armor I guess😢
This looks like a very cool figure, but I've decided to stick to the most meaningful figures I remember in my childhood. Mer-Man 2.0 is already mine, I'm waiting for New Eternia Buzz-off and Ram-man. I'll probably buy Webstor, but I'm really hoping for a New Eternia version of Man-at-arms and Scareglow, even if this last one I'm not sure was ever sketched and prototyped by the artist of the other figures.
Leaks suggest you will indeed be getting a New Eternia Man-At-Arms! But regarding collecting, I totally get sticking to the most meaningful characters. I actually do that too with other IPs I love. It's a sound way to collect (and not drain your wallet. 😀)
Okay, the barbarian and space looks I can give a pass to. The Eagle Tank look is to far removed from the original Roger Sweet concept, I think it’s the helmet.
I sent the Evil-Lyn pics to your email address. Let me know if you got them. I tried to send them as a zip & then it said it will be a Google Drive thing. So I hope they got you alright.
