Hey pixel dan can you do a review for skylanders funplay hideaway playsets?
Skeletor is the master strategist. Instead of fighting his opponents head on, he waits at the top of Snake Mountain, where his enemies slip and falls on the stairs.

I remember my mom buying me this when I was a kid. She bought me a used one at a Hispanic flea market in El Paso Tx. I remember her paying 50 cents for it and it was missing some parts but I loved it. One day I left it on the couch folded up n my grandmother had came to visit n she woke up at night to use the restroom and all she could see was a shadowy evil face on the couch looking at her. She woke us all up with her screaming. Good memories, thank you.

I believe that, however much it costs, it really does have too many gaps, starting with the fact that there is no hook to close it or that a large part of it needs to be dismantled in order to close it. sincerely for the price I would have expected much more, more refined interior details and more accessories in general since it still looks bare inside. glad to have saved 1000 euros.

You make a fairly valid point. In my case, I guess that if money wasn't a problem and I had a collection of MOTU Classics except for this item, probably I would have made the investment -if only for having a complete collection; but most certainly, for such a hefty price, I was expecting a lot more features.

Got my Snake Mountain today - now have it setup and displayed, loving every bit of it. I am grateful I got it when I did, holding just the throne in hand, the reality is that piece alone could easily go for $70-100, same with the dungeon pit, the paint detail is just killer. What we got here was something that is unlikely to ever happen again, the sheer size made every logistical aspect of this thing unrealistic to be repeated on any large scale release. As I opened and unpackaged this thing, I realized it was the last time I would likely see anything of this scale and quality for MOTU anytime soon. Anyone that actually backed the project and purchased this, is likely not going to be disappointed at all.
Dan, I’ve been with you - from Scotland - through yours and mine’s thick and thins. Jobs, no job, new job! Your videos always sold MOTUC to me. Love them and I appreciate your heart and soul. Keep on keeping on and all power to you! Good Journey! I love this review!
Great video. It scales amazing with 5.5 scale Origins and Vintage MOTU. Looks even more grandiose.
Awesome review Dan! Personally I think they dropped the ball making the stairs so worthless. I can see people wanting to use this to display their collections in dramatic poses and fight sequences. Idk why they wouldn't make the stairs just a little bit bigger. This takes up so much space people are going to it to double as shelf space to keep their collections. That prison is a mess. It should have been wider to fit at least 2 figures in and block that hole with a solid wall. The bust away wall should have been several interlocking pieces that shatter when hit vs falling over. Lastly I'd have made the blood waterfall semi transparent and the crystal ball on the table transparent with a small LED and include a viewmaster like disk with several images of he-man and crew. The LED could cast the image from the disk onto the inside of the crystal ball to emulate Skeletor spying on them. For $600 I think these are all reasonable inclusions. Love the monster pit, throne and table regardless.
You should do a commercial that's old school like the Street Sharks commercial where they had stackable cups and the pencils to karate chop and a tiny pool of water, I've always wanted to duplicate a set like that with the water, the cups, the lighting and some sandpaper that's supposed to be the dirt and gravel part. Sets for marketing action figures in the early 90s were awesome!
Thanks for the in-depth look, Pixel Dan. it's interesting that you mentioned the playset being smaller than originally projected. That certainly would seem to account for the cave entrance, the wolf locker, and the jail cell all seeming to be too small. Also, that war table has a spot that appears to be where a button was once planned. Perhaps for a light up feature? This project was clearly a major undertaking for Super 7. But so much of this premium set feels like it was unfinished. Possibly even rushed at the very end -- so the project could finally get out the door and off the books. It'd be really interesting to here what the original production plan for this project had been.
Excellent review Pixel Dan
I honestly think it looks the best with the Vintage lineup. I agree it looks like an awesome store setup.
Great job! Snake Mountain is here, so exciting
I get the nostalgia which is great cause it is a callback to the original set but tbh it's not worth the $600 with some of its issues it looks like it should have cost atleast $200-250 maybe $300 if it had the electronics

@@Lycano23 I certainly do not agree. In business there must be guarantees built on estimates. To have this thing come to fruition, they needed to calculate minimum cost, where they also could get a profit from it. I would say that profit was no more than 100-150 USD per set if it hit the minimum (To which they estimated the price to be, which is fair in my book). Then every set ordered above the minimum order is just profit minus production costs. But hey, what do I know about their calculations and economy when conducting business :)

Dan, I want to thank you for all your videos and information on this toyline over the years. I am 39 years old, loved the vintage figures as a kid and was obsessed with MOTU at an early age, but it was your review of MOTUC Skeletor that first made me aware of the new line and got me back into this franchise. You reawakened my love for MOTUC and I now have almost every figure they have made (except that damn Slime Pit He-man that costs a million quid on Ebay) Your enthusiasm, honesty, passion and dedication made me love these toys and characters all the more and for that I am eternia-ly grateful.
Thank you for the extensive review Pixel Dan!!
Great job Dan!
I think its brilliant that snake mountain gets the love. However it is one gimmick: the size. Once you get past that it will get old very quickly. While its nice that there is the bone throne and table in there, you cant fit the throne and table on one level (nit picky i know) what else can you do with it? Hmmm not much really. An expensive good lucking backdrop/shell with some nice touches.

I never 'got' MOTU, or ever owned any of the toys - I was far too old when it first became popular. (Although I thought the Dolph Lundgren movie was, and is, great fun. Don't judge me!) Saying that, Nowadays, I do find the figures somewhat fascinating, and it's great that there are lots of people, like your good self, who love them, and have kept MOTU alive. Thanks!
This brings me back so many memories of my Childhood from the 1980's and I never forgotten about this playset at all because it was the coolest thing I've seen in my life so far and I'm almost 43 years old this coming autumn of 2021
I love your opening credits. So much. Great review too! Cheers!
So nice Dan!! 🎉
What a perfect, perfect review.
Excellent work! Best review all youtube!
Love seeing the scale compatibility with the vintage figures. Thanks for doing that! And World Smallest looks pretty awesome in there, really captures the magnitude of the Filmation cartoon.
Great review! Thanks for sharing.
SOOOOO awesome! Super envious of everyone who got one.

I remember the day I got mine like it was yesterday (it wasn't). I felt 4 again. I went live on facebook and made a few friends super jealous. It was some coin for sure but I play with it every time I walk past it. Works with all my vintage figures, 200x, classics and origins ...no one looks out of place. They did a great job honestly.
Great job Dan!! A big hug from Spain! 🤗🇪🇸

Amazing review, Dan! This is a fantastic capper on the line, and I hope everyone that wanted one was able to get one, and that they're super happy with it.

Great video Dan I'm still waiting for mine to ship.
A lot of the complaints that I see in the comments and "they should have done this or that" comments (including my own). I do believe that we all need to understand, this could not have been a big profit maker for super 7. This was more of a fan service, it could have ended with no snake mountain at all and there are a lot of logistics involved that a lot of man babies out there don't understand..I think we're lucky enough to get this and shouldn't nitpick too much on the price vs features cause there are peoples time and paychecks in between this toy and the consumer.
Great review can’t wait til my snake mountain arrives!
When you said "good journey"? I felt that.
WOW JUST WOW AMAZING
Wow that is a crazy set!
If the throne, table and monster pool were available just by themselves I would definitely buy them. All in all a great vintage style playset.

I used to have the original. I took apart the micro phone when I was like 10, it had a small audio amplifier with an LM820M. The strange sound effect was simply made by springs running the length of the plastic holder connected above the microphone. Speaking wobbled the springs that made a spooky voice
Villains always had the coolest things back in the 80s n 90s.

@@adrionjones Agreed. My issue with the jail part on this set is that if so many other components have to be removed to close it, then why not have made a jail that at least incorporated the right open side, and also came out 3 to 4 more inches? Again, I understand budgets, timeframe, and even ROI were all a part of this, and I know that compared to Mattel, Super7 isn't near the size or capability in some respects to have made a lot of that happen. I do feel that the positives outweigh the negatives though. I didn't get a Snake Mountain, but I am ecstatic for all that did. It's one heck of an amazing looking playset, and to see the scale next to Pixel Dan was just mindboggling. I have Classics Grayskull sitting on the other side of my studio, and that thing to me was huge, but Snake Mountain is just overpoweringly cool in so many ways.
