Hey! Trap Jaw! So messing with him more, I realized that you can remove the elbow section of his mechanical arm and plug the blaster directly into the shoulder! I'm so bummed I missed this for the video! 🤦‍♂️ But this makes him much .ore accurate, and I love it! The Jaw on mine still won't move, though. Some folks have told me the Jaw should move fine. I may need to try warming it up, but mine feels very stuck in place. 🤷‍♂️ Either way, I wish I'd have figured out the arm before shooting. I'll post pics on my socials and maybe do an update next Saturday. Have a great weekend, all!

That's great! Glad to hear that! Also, on your question, MOTU for a few weeks in a row wouldn't bother me, haha. 😉😂 Also, is there a Pixel Dan list of bucket list vintage toy stores/shows? That could be a fun product, and maybe some stores would sponsor you to be on your list? There is a lot of info for shows online, but without PowerCon this year, I am hoping for something MOTU-heavy.

Trap-Jaw's jaw is articulated. The elbow part is removable to create the shorter arm concept shown in the cartoon. Teela's bodice is also removable. 😊

Oh wow , that's amazing 😮

I absolutely adore the Origins Cartoon collection. I have three of the four in this video. Just don't have Stratus. Love Teela but sadly my robot and shield have gone missing. It's a pitty you can't buy accessories packs. Mer-man is just amazing. I love the Trapjaw figure. I don't know what it is about them but I just love this line. Thank you for the reviews Pixel Dan.

I'm on the fence about getting more of the animation origins figures. Not that I don't like them, I actually would like to go full completionism on them. But right now my wallet doth protest, haha. Very happy to see Dragstor teased. He's to me what Mosquitor is to Pixeldan

Teela looks the closest to Filmation to me! The face sculpt is perfect. My Trap Jaw's jaw articulates.

Same! Mine moves. Not as much as regular Origin's Trapjaw, but only as his jaw is bigger on the cartoon collection Trapjaw

The comic for Extendar has an actual image from the original comic in it. And they tease an evil version of Extendar at the end. Looking like a Horde soldier.

I love the mer man head sculpt just really captures the cartoon

Agreed

Extendar was one of the few vintage ones I had as a kid. Nice to have a updated version. I gave him the ancient sword from the filmation line.

Thanks again, Dan, great video. The Super 7 Mer-man color seems to be the most Filmation accurate, looking at the cartoon? Extendar - Frustrates me to see how good the front of card artwork of the figure looks. I wish we could get this artwork on the front of the other cards, like Slamurai, Eternia Goddess, Lord Gr'asp, as it gives the card fronts that extra punch. Might also have helped sell more figures at retail too?

My T.Jaw’s jaw moves and I shortened the arm.

The filmation stuff is looking really good. As for what you should cover - whatever you are excited about! Your enthusiasm comes through in the videos, so give us what feels good to cover that particular week - and ty!

He's amazing at these reviews 🙌🏽

I wasn’t sold on the Filmation line until I saw Cringer.

I was really tempted by the Cartoon Collection, but Super7’s retros are still the ones in my collection - they just feel more like the vintage ones to me. I hope we’ll get guys that Super7 didn’t get to, especially PoP. Great to get a fresh Extendar though!

the cartoon collection is AMAZING!!!!!

I imagine that sword for Teela is super soft because of how pointy it is. Even if it was molded in the same plastic as the accessories from other/previous figures, it might be a little too dangerous for kids.

Fun thing about Extendar. He's the first figure we can swap the hands and feet with, since they use the same pegs for the extension parts for his action feature.

S7 Stratos is gonna join Norm the The Gaming Historian when they oil up and hit the gym. How many of you have been around long enough to get THIS reference?

These are great! Extander's throat badge looks like he is flippin' the bird tho..

I love the CARTOON-COLLECTION. I am hoping for exclusive FILMATION-characters too. And for SHE-RA.

I'm glad Geldor is getting the vintage origins treatment. Can't wait to see a review on that one along with Demo-man when they come out this fall.

Mix up the reviews Dan. Most of the joy I get from your videos is seeing your excitement. I personally love the MOTU & TMNT stuff you do, but if there's new or different things you want to show us along with that, go ahead.

Extendar has always been one of my favorites. I was super happy to get my new one, he's fantastic. I really liked the story about him and Dragstor's origins with Hordak's experiments so I can't wait until we get Dragstor as well but I fear that we sadly won't get his action feature.

Trap jaws jaw should be articulated. Yours might be glued in place Mine works fine

You didn't unfold Extendar's shield all the way. The large square part can fold out too, doubling it in size. I would also recommend putting it on his left hand, so that he can hold it properly in the extended form.

Mine came shipped to the UK just in that mailer box, luckily it never got any damage. I wasn't a fan of him as a kid but now I think he's cool and I love his artwork on the back of the card

30:45 I think we should be fine Dan, mostly because the Origins Extendar's gold arms are molded in swirled gold PVC plastic and the vintage Extendar had his pearlescent PVC hands painted gold. I bought my friend's vintage Extendar from him in High School back in the 90's and one hand had turned green and the paint peeled off up to his elbow. So I think this new version finally eliminated that potential issue.

I was mad I had to get an Extendar off eBay at twice the price. I never got an email notification that he was going on sale so I didn't even hear about it until 12 hours after it ended.

For Teela's training robot I used an adjustable figure stand and double stick tape. So far, its holding up and looks pretty cool!

Another major problem with "exclusives" is that they are so limited. What if the action figure breaks? How can people get a replacement if they are all sold out? These limited "exclusives" are simply no fun and no good.

Ай бұрын

I've picked up a vintage Modulok and he fits in well with origins

Thanks for the flip through the Extendar mini-comic he’s a character I always thought looked cool but i knew next to nothing about him! So finding out his backstory is basically Kamen Rider’s backstory is awesome and now im sad i missed out on him cause he’d look great in my Kamen Rider collection

My version of the mailerboxes of Sy-Klone and Rokkon also didn´t have any arts of the figures on them. The last figure i got which came in a boxart mailerbox was He-Skeletor.

The ideal Masters of the Universe cartoon would bring ALL the characters together (New Adventures, Princess of Power, etc.).... and have stories like the original and 200X series (classic story telling mixed with more action oriented stories from 200X)... with animation style like the original rotosciping and a little extra flair like the 200X series. Prince Adam and He-Man should be the same size.

My Merman is looking up all the time. His eyes were painted wrong. He looks like the Waterboy's Dad

Dan you can remove the arm from the elbow joint to make it shorter

The new Teela cartoon face looks like Lisa Marie Presley for some reason

Another great review! As for future video topics, I’d personally love to hear you talk about anything and everything toy related new or old. Your appeal is your personality and excitement, so as long as you got that everyone will watch!! Much love!!

I've just started collecting Origins and really enjoying them. Looking forward to a Modulok figure if Mattel release one!

I’m selective on the cartoon line (Teela, and Stratos, Beastman and gifted Skeletor from Mr. Home Arcade) only getting what I need for some holes. But he works perfectly in my Origins collection display along with two of the naked Stratos’ - remember the other Avian warriors were skin color? I never had Extendar, but he is an impressive figure one of my new Favs 🎉

Origins Extendar blew me away .. such a fantastic figure! Perfect update of the original and he is one of the very few examples where Origins actually wins over Classics. Mer-Man - the Cartoon Collection figure is fun and I love the Pearl accessory, but does anyone else feel the head sculpt is a bit off? The best head sculpt is Classics and, ironically, the most accurate color to Filmation is Super 7's. It doesn't seem so while lining the figures up, but after watching "Teela's Quest" today, I believe it is. Speaking of that episode, it's not only Mer-Man's best episode but one of the best episodes of the series. So the Crimson Pearl staff packaged withe the neo-vintage Mer-Man is one of my favorite Mer-Man accessories ever and wish it was included with the Cartoon Collection Mer-Man as well. 😊

Do Extendor's arm extensions go on his legs, to double up the extension on his legs, and vice versa for his leg extensions? Buying multiple Extendor's would give him extra long legs/arms, but the rest of his extensions could not be doubled up I think!

The CARTOON collection is great and is going places. Unfortunately TEELA’s head is way too small. :( The Super7 version fits much better scale wise.

Trap Jaw's jaw does move. And you can take the longer part of the mechanical arm off and plug the gun straight into the shoulder to replicate the cartoon look. Perhaps look at other people's reviews first before reviewing the figures? There's plenty of videos about Trap Jaw out there already...

The origins line is the best. Only second to the original line

Filmation look so good but I have no room, but I really like teela , trap jaw & stratos

yo my trap jaw his jaw moves

How are you doing, Pixel Dan? Wow! All of those MOTU Figures looked Absolutely Magnificent! I love the Detailing and Designed on those Figs. Amazing Toys Reviewing, Friend. Great Awesome Video as always! 😎😎😎👍👍

I wish Mattel make an upgrade kit for Extendar with more pieces and weapon.

Only problem is you can't find them in any stores hardly anymore

Just out of the blue, but have you put Ultimate Warriors red cape on origins Mosquitor? Looks really good imo!

I really like the Cartoon Collection, they look great have cool accessories and are very true to Filmations Design.

I really dig the origins/cartoon Stratos more than the others. To be honest, I saw Stratos at Wal Mart once and got him. Glad I did because unlike Magic Mike Stratos he has become hard to find. As for the rest I do think Mattel knocked these out of the park. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks for taking the time to review this line and look forward to seeing more from you.

27:20 he went from a 5 incher to an 8 incher. U heard it here first!!!

Animations looks like the cartoons I watched. I favor the cartoons more. Thank you for your content.

I really wish trap jaw had come with the fly swatter or energy bow. And read your comment about him above so that’s cool.(I picked up 1) I think merman fig is good but the likeness in the face isn’t as good as the others. Same with stratos. I agree with trap jaw & Teela tho.(will still get a merman tho) And I love extendar, glad I got 1!

Hi Pixel Dan and thanks for the great reviews, blessings and stay heavy 🤘

i would like to see what else you gonna show, as a motu fan my self, i think its a good idea to branch out as they say, and do other reviews :3

I love your MOTU reviews, regardless of when you release them, Dan!

Extendar does come apart at the waist.

I'm glad Stratos came with an accessory. It always bummed me that the original figure didn't have anything.

do extendAr no came with the insert instructions telling you the separation Pices ? And you recommend the vases from ebay to display the characters ? and we miss you on toytlanta this year.

I think the tooling on Extendaaaaaaaar would’ve made the figure too expensive? Man I just don’t like the Cartoon Collection at all, and TOGS is just goofy! Still buying regular origins though. It’s my fav line. Good video!

It’s comparisons time!

Definitely always prioritise MOTU but do other reviews, you always stand out and do the best job , you're my go to guy for all things MOTU . It doesn't matter if they have been out a while. Extendar was one of my favourite figures as a kid , he unfortunately snapped 😢 I was very disappointed with the classics version and I'm in two minds about this one. However you have swayed my opinion somewhat 😄

I think the elbow bend on Trapjaw is meant to allow for that famous scene when he scratches his chin with his hook arm. TBH of all the Origins Cartoon line TEELA is the best looking, the rest I still prefer the Super 7 Filmation versions. 🤔. Mer-Man's face here looks too goofy, like he just 💩'd his pants 😂. I'm bummed there's no Tri-klops tho, he was always my favorite because of his gimmick 😔

I really like the Cartoon Collection so far. I hope they do the She-Ra characters!

Club Grayskull for me os best actoss all character so far with the exception of Evil Lyn which Origins and Super7 Neo vintage is better. So far I have the Club Grayskull and hopefully I will abke to snag all Origins Cartoon Collection too. Super 7 neo vintage is a nice set too to track down

No clear flight stand for the training robot? That's a major miss! Is Mattel falling down on the job?

Pixel Dan you didn't compare Teela from Talon Fighter Point Dread😅

More MOTU Origins, more Turtles of Grayskull!!!!

That Super 7 merman looks like a bootleg because of the coloring

This extendar might be in the top 10 of Origins for the entire line, just looking at the comparison it seems like Classics did the colors of an old Extendar they just had sitting around cause the colors are so muted, the colors on origins pops so much more and looks like what everyone was trying to go for, as for the plug and play I’m glad we got what we got cause they could have been thinner or more fragile and they aren’t! So excited for when Origins finally finishes the vintage line!😊

I still think they are a bit overpriced. Not as bad as reaction figures though. Unless they are reaction motu.

Ugh! Why is Mattel hiding action figures behind "exclusives"? That's no fun at all! It just makes it harder for fans and collectors to actually get these action figures!

Didn’t he used to say ‘I am Extendar, tower or power!’ Or was that just in the UK comics? Or just in my brain?

No box art on extendar, sy-klone, and rokkon. I'm thinking brown box art is gone.
