I have said it before and I'll say it again. I appreciate the time , passion and work your self, the people at mattel who were involved and the four horsemen for creating the perfect adault reimagined masters of the univese line that was totally nastailgia from the 80s line that I had is a kid. I can't believe the amount of figures,vehicles, asseccories and your team produced. I have 95 percent of all the stuff. Yea I wish you have stayed on the project longer, maybe a new slime pit, manasour, and the other stuff you had planned in these videos. But great job and thanks again!!!

Well thank you. It is most appreciated!!!!

To me, Grizzlor was one of those figures that the mini-comic made a lot cooler. The original figure itself is kind of unusual for a big bad, but as a kid, if you read the comic first, you see Grizzlor through that lens and he instantly becomes one of the most powerful villains on your shelf.

Great video! Thank you! I believe it was only the very first single-carded releases of Grizzlor that were the Dark variant. I got the vintage Dark Grizzlor when I was a kid, packed singly on his own card, and spent the best part of a year wondering why none of the ancillary media looked anything like the action figure I had, until my buddy Dave down the street got a "regular" Grizzlor. Needless to say, I bought a second MOTUC Grizzlor so I could replicate that variant in Classics someday. 😉

Grizzlor was notable in my family for being the only action figure my sister owned. We were on holiday in Wales when we were kids and we got to pick out a toy each in a store and I picked Roboto and instead of going to the My Little Pony aisle she normally went for, Grizzlor caught her eye while we were still in the MotU section and yep I reckon it had to be all that fur that made her choose him. And yeah I thought he was pretty cool too. Roboto, that I chose, was also fun. :) That Classics Grizzlor one looks fantastic too. Wonder if we'll see him in Origins and hopefully still furry too. As cool as those sculpted customs look I feel the furry look (and feel) is a huge part of the figure's appeal. Certainly was for my sister. She still had him for years after all my MotU figures got sold off :)

I do wonder how he might look in Origins. He seems one of those toys that NEEDS to be with fur. But I guess time will tell.

Loving the videos as I’m only just discovering them… kind of wondering why Classics changed his “tagline?” Vintage packaging has him as the “Hairy Henchman of the Evil Horde” but you went with the “Ferocious Figure with Fur” instead which was also on the packaging but… With all the effort that goes into making these vintage accurate, I thought it was an interesting choice.

Really liked this one, really informative.

If I was a better customizer, I'd try to make two custom Grizzlor's, which I thought would have been awesome additions to the MOTUC Evil Horde. Grayzlor - Grizzlor, but in a gray/black color scheme, using Stratos arms, etc. The fur was the big issue I couldn't figure out, And maybe a re-tooled head. I thought of giving him the Hordak gloves, and the harness in black with the red Horde logo, just to make him a little different. The basic idea being that he is of the same species as Grizzlor, just an older, experienced warrior. Griz-noir - which would be the darker-colored parts, utilizing the 200X head sculpt, and perhaps Beast man feet, to make him look a little more 'savage' than Grizzlor. My favorite part of MOTU was always the Evil Horde. And I'm glad I was able to get my hands on Grizzlor. One of my favorites in the MOTUC line. Still working on collecting all of them, as expensive as they can get, lately.

Another great installment. I'm kind of glad you screwed up. Since we were getting the armor, it only seems right that we got the other befitting head sculpt. When The Horde came out I was getting a bit older and never had any of them. It was great to grab them all in Classics. Just sucks, pun intended, that we were unable to get a Filmation Leech to complete the original Horde members.

Grizzlor - portrayed as terrifying in the comics and as yet another dumb henchman in the cartoon. I'd love to see you do a video tackling the difference in tone between the mini-comics and the cartoons. It seems the mini-comics were aimed at kids who where 10-14 years old, while the cartoon was for 5- to 10-year-old kids. Keep up the good work!

I'm a sucker for The Evil Horde as well. I have to say I'm a fan of Mantenna, especially his original figure, and the Classics update, the Filmation version, despite nailing the legs(he's always had four legs but it was more established as a kid in the cartoon), just too goofy to me.
