I used to have the original Snake Mountain in 1984 when I was about 9 years of age, along with Castle Greyskull, the Talent fighter set and a bunch of the action figures as well. The line was my precursor of me grabbing my first set of dumbbells at the age of 14 a few years later, which to this point 32 years later. I am still an avid gym rat. If there is anything that I can take away from the brand, is that it enabled a 90 pound weakling become his own version of HeMan that fit him. Thank you, Mattel, for giving us the gift of Masters of the Universe. You have no idea how this brand has affected many young boys and incorporated the lessons into our lives.

Thank you for a great vid, lots of interesting info! I was one of those kids who were utterly disappointed that the playset didn't look anything like the filmation Snake Mountain, which I loved. I remember that there was a panel in one of the UK-comics that we also got here in sweden where it was explained that Skeletor rebuilt and "fortified" the filmation SM and turned it into the toy version. Made total sense and easily-impressed-child-me was satisfied with that explanation.

In the U.K. Masters of the Universe comic from the 80s, both versions of Snake Mountain appear. The Filmation’s version was shown as being Skeletor’s original fortress, which he abandoned prior to the first issue of the comic, and is only seen in a couple of flashbacks. The toy version was depicted as his current base of operations. This is similar to the way they shown that the toy version of the Fright Zone was Hordak’s base on Eternia, to explain why the toy differed from the version seen in the cartoon

Snake mountain man really looks like a bat with the face. Big twist could have been that the Bat god was petrified 1st or defeated and Serpos just happened to be trapped around his body. (that would be following the 3 gods of eternia Falcon/bat/snake form one of the comics) Would be cool if Mattel had you as there lore keeper with in there company for continuity sake. One would think that would be important to QC of the brands under there umbrella.

I have so much fond memories about my Snake Mountain but I have to be objective... :-( 7:20 "management said: 'That's great!' And this is another clue to understand that the management of MOTU was headed toward failure... What they were thinkin'? The bridge and the hole are out of scale for the toys, they are useless... and there's nothin' inside the Mountain, it's just and empty shell, just compare it with Castle Grayskull! And the shackles and the bridge were so damn brittle.... They had the best line in the universe and almost every year there was a facepalm...

Small tid bit, in the German audio plays, Skeletor lived in Castle Dragonstone (Burg Drachenstein). During the same time a lot of super hero comics got published but with German names instead of the originals, but sometimes not - Cyclops became Zyklop, Beast became Biest, Spider-Man became die Spinne but Wolverine stayed Wolverine.

I recently came across an old photo of my younger self playing with the Snake Mountain set, and I still have it to this day. The cord to the "microphone" broke and the bridge and some of the interior bits were lost, but the shell is still intact. But I did always wonder why it looked the way it did and not how it does in the show. By that time I had seen so many inconsistencies between the He-Man toys, comics, and cartoon that I figured it must just be how things are. Heh, didn't stop me from enjoying it.

i had the original Greyskull and Snake Mtn playsets, i guess i wondered why they didn't make a big snake head opening for the top of Snake mountain, and they could have had a slide on the inside? instead of that gate at the top of the moutain, it looks fine, but it clearly doesn't look like it belongs on top of a volcanic mtn. and i totally forgot that lava was featured in the catoon, and was reminded of that when i saw the Super 7 playset.

That He-Man Jungle Playset would have been ultra awesome it even had the man in the moon face on the boulder. I think the monster face looks a bit like a goofy version of Evil Dead cover to Necronomicon. Snake Mountain Man would be kinda cool its sad Skeletor should live in Castle Grayskull only for him to have to steal Snake Mountain. I still don't fully understand why Snake Mountain only had 1 head when it originally had 3 though. I never really had any of those playsets only like Terror Dome or the small GI Joe base. Its sorta like the Paladin or Anti-Paladin its funny how failed toy designs or products they stick in to popular lines.

Another tidbit from Germany: It had, for some reason, a German name in "Burg Drachenstein" ("Castle Dragonstone"). They had both names on the package. Not sure if they changed it later on. In the Audio Cassettes they used it for the early episodes and later on transitioned to Snake Mountain with no explanation given. I don't know if it was changed on the packaging for the playset later on, too. Or why they chose to have a german name in the first place. Didn't happen with lot of the other MotU-Toys and it's probably easier to say for kids than Bashasaurus. Back in the day anyway.

Great video, Scott! Loved seeing how the old concepts made their way to becoming the actual playset. Lore question for you about the faces attached to Snake Mountain: According to the Classics bio, the snake is Serpos and the big face is Ka…but I can’t find anything about the big wolf head that you could talk into in the original playset. Do you know anything about this wolf? The back of the Super7 Snake Mountain box says “Sceptor!” - is that his name? Is there any other lore behind him?

Point of trivia. The snake mountain as a magically frozen living snake idea was done in the 1980s newspaper comic strip as I recall. Obviously the 2002 series is where 99.999% of people would have first seen the idea though. Video idea. Folks who used it as a base in history. Ancient wizards Demos and Tyrella (masks of power) and Filmation Hordak. 80s Minicomic and 2002 King Hsss and Skeletor is a complete list as far as I know.

Where did the idea for the microphone come from? Was it to represent another of the petrified snakes? There was a microphone...correct? A friend once told me "Snake Mountain" was one of his "All Time Favourites" (and I think I saw the wee lad on the box holding something "microphonish" in his paw) If so, did it also distort the users' voice or just amplify? I was never really into "MOTU", but we did have the two mains (He-Man and Ol' Skully) I don't exactly know why cause it was right up my alley, but I guess Mom only allowed a couple "brands" per brat! lol! Mine were Star Wars and Hot Wheel/Matchbox (when Matchbox was still puttin' out wicked cool stuff) In closing, I would like to add I had no idea that MOTU had such a deep history and backstory...it's neat! Great show! \m/

And I hate to annoy you Scott. I always told you I had a lot of love and respect for you for giving us classics. It’s obvious that I offend you with my questions where I’m given a one to three word response. I’d like to think you appreciate the love and passion I have as you do, but my hating on how Mattel has handled the origins line where most of us are saying they were fucks for not even,y distributing the figures to each and every store, and thanks to the scalpers, which you say Mattel is very happy that they exist because it’s all about making money on them even though it upsets the fans, is that supposed to endear fans to the toy company? No! It makes us hate them that much more. I’m surprised by your praise on the 1987 film too, in your recent video. You made it out to be this epic film, praising this William stout on his designs. Whoever that man is, the new characters he created for the film were disgusting and nothing memorable in the least. And you can’t possibly have been happy with this new show! I guess you have some reason(s) or another, in which you can’t be completely honest in how you really feel, but it’s fine. They destroyed MOTU. And I can never look at what was one this amazing and great thing innthe same anymore. Sorry.

As I’ve had, but will say kind thing on the 1987 film, never giving me an answer as to why studios who I would think give an arm and a leg to make a MOTU movie on a huge budget as to why they chose not to, down to a question like....how can you possibly say anything positive about this latest reboot, when fans have that love and passion for the brand, some even more than you, could turn and say. “What’s the big deal”? When we look up to you in gratitude for resurrecting the brand with classics, could say such a thing? Even though you’re no longer employed by Mattel, maybe to some extent? You are and you have to act as though you stand by this series for reasons we will never know. But it would be great, as somewhat of a leader to your fans, to say what’s pissed you off about this show s it has everyone else and that you have a good reason as to why you can’t be real. But it’s fine. If it’s bringing you in some kind of income,e under the table, it’s the only plausible reason I can think, as that show was a complete and utter disaster.

@@b.lloydreese2030 Absolutely. There are a few different ways around it and screwing with the audience point of view is of course the most common example (as I assume the case is with Orko and Adam, and definitely was the case for Trap Jaw); and then as we get to further mystical or scientific powers beyond our understanding we start getting things that are less “screw the audience” and more in story contrivances for the story telling experience. It adds a weight or a gravitas to the heroic sacrifice that just isn’t there if the next scene has the hero banged up but alive. We’ll see how Adam’s second “death” is handled in part two, but I’m optimistic.

MOTU IS DEAD FOREVER!" But here's the thing. They don't make those videos to give actual commentary or insight. They do it to get people ANGRY, because angry viewers = repeat viewers. It's the same tactic that every news outlet (regardless of political affiliation) or talk radio host does. Act incendiary. Make people so angry they can't even think straight. Rake in views.
