Secrets of the MOTU Classsic Buzz Off action figure from Mattel. Origins of the bee man of Eternia

Scott ToyGuru Neitlich discusses the Buzz Off action figure as well as the origins of the character and its tie to children's unique connection to bees. Also, he was stung by three bees in one day in two different places one day as a child, so yeah, that too is covered.

    I have to disagree, I think the 200x Buzz-Off head looks very good on the Classics body. I know there were some, like Whiplash, which looked a bit of place, but I didn't think that was the case with Buzz-Off. Plus, while the 200x figure looks awesome, it is definitely one of the most frustrating ones to get to stand and keep standing!

    Freudian psychoanalysis is largely discredited nonsense, but I enjoyed the rest of the video. I really never liked Buzz-Off as a kid. The 1984 releases were packed with anthropomorphized animal characters, which always struck me as lacking in creativity. Buzz-Off is a C-Lister in my book, but his classics figure really pops with the bright yellow and the deep, dark brown. He has survived several rounds of thinning out my MOTUC collection.
