Thanks for the review! Hoping to find these 2 at WalMart, as online scalper prices are through the roof. Also, was wondering when you are going to do your next update on your MOTU Origins figure ranking video? (And do you collect and rank the Masterverse figures also?)
She look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍👍
They needed give him young keldors head and not another vintage he-man
Too me Wun-Dar will probably always be my #1 as someone born after even the 200X show finished airing my connection to these characters has always been how they look and smth about the brown hair and black armor tickled my brain the right way to get me into the line and MotU as a whole!
Another miss of a mile is a green Goddes, It is also one of my favourite figures! I also like the first release Skeletor the most! It is funny how different taste two people who are into same franchise could have. 😅
I love your passionate defenses of the figures you enjoy! It would be awesome to see your own ranking some day! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your opinions bro! God bless and take care my friend
Begining of the list and I am already so disagree... 😅 Kronis is really cool because You can enrich Your Ethernia by another representant of other race or specie of a blue skin men aswell as Keldor. The same with the comic book Stratos. I have multiple of them to create an army of Avians with grey Stratos as a lider. By the way He man is also a half naked guy abd nobody boders. ;)
LOL snake men infiltrator is one if my favoutite figures! 😅 It was my only option to buy a palace guard replacement due to lack in stores regular palace guards so I bought multiple "snake men guards" instead.
I got mine by far best looking he man head figure
I only bought the MOTU TMNT figure with the BAF parts for Metalhead. They are cool figures, though.
"Here he is, hosting his own radio show" earned a sub, that was great. Awesome backdrop and props too.
Heman has been mewing
I have never been able to find any Walmart exclusive. Hopefully I find at least one of these two.
At first, when I saw the uncolored vintage card-back artwork for these figures, I was disappointed. Over time though, the designs have grown on me. The colors make them pop quite a bit. I still think the unproduced last wave of heroic characters came out a little better/more distinctive (Strobo, Plasmar, Slamurai). It may be a false memory, but for some reason, I seem to recall some speculation online on various forums that several of these characters had different working names, as do so many other characters during the design process. I want to say that Plasmar was known as Hot-Shot at some point, and Terroar was Zip-Neck... which makes me curious as to if the initial plan back in the 1980s was to have Terroar's neck make a "zip" sound effect when retracted or extended, which would've given him more of a distinctive action feature. Regardless, fun to speculate! The unknowns and mystery around these characters are part of the charm. Great review!
Cutting the Kronis vest will replicate terroar's vest easily, and if you use hot water , it won't damage the figures' leg sockets at all to give him the right waistoff Rattlor. Takes less than a minute to make a waist switch if someone wants to. That's how I made a Terroar custom a year ago.
I like to think of Terroar as "The Thing" of MOTU. His classics bio, for as much as I frown at them, is his only lore and I'd like to see it expanded on in a horror sort of way.
Still nervously waiting for my preorder of these two from Walmart. Visually both of them are a win in my eyes. Love the colors!
ANOTHER AWESOME REVIEW...PLANNIG ON GETTING THESE GUYS ASAP......THANKS:)
Loving these figures. I really hope they make it to BBTS or EE. Only way Canadians can get their hands on them.
Look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍
Great review, you definitely made some fair points about a lot of the reviews I’ve disagreed with. The complaints about the extra joints are ridiculous because someone else would just complain about him not being posable. The likeness of Keaton is definitely great. People should just appreciate we got an 89 Batmobile AND a Keaton Batman at this level for less than $100. McFarlane did a good job here👍
Im digging on Lord Gr'asp' Terroar ' Reptillax and Sy-Klone. Still, Fang-Or and the Spacesuit seems to take the top 2 spots
Moss Man look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍
Hey this Dwight like tell you about this Moss Man got my at my Walmart Erwin NC he is $5 think about this got him today this morning 🌅 okay happy with him have fun with your i have fun with my okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍👍
That’s awesome, Dwight!
Great review Jared, I just received my Extendar order today here in Tokyo - Thank God Mattel ships to Japan! Even though I didn’t grow up with this figure, his designs are growing up on me in recent years and I look forward to displaying him with Stridor as a shining armored knight on his steed, MOTU style! I gotta say I grew up obsessed with medieval knights and castles, so this figure hits a real string for me, and I am really glad to get this figure. I’m older than you as born in ‘78, so I had MOTU original figures from different years as a kid growing up in Canada, but not that many. And today I learned that your favorite faction is the same as mine; the Snake Men! I’ll never forget the first time I saw King Hisss as a kid and my grandparents got it from me that day. They are also my all time favorite MOTU faction. I also wanted to say that actually, contrary to what you said in your video, the vintage Extendar figure also featured curved extension areas on the arms, pretty much at the same angle as this Origins figure. I thought I would mention it because I myself had been under the impression, not having grown up with this figure, that the arms were straight extensions, until I looked deeper and found images online of the vintage figure sideways. Keep up the good work, you’re the best MOTU figure reviewer out there, in my honest opinion!
Thank you for this awesome comment and kind words! You’re so right about the curves! Great to hear from a fellow Snake Men enthusiast! King Hisss forever!
Alan Ritchson would've been perfect. Or hell, Mike O' Hearn. This guy could've just played Prince Adam.
Do you have any suggestions to maintain the rubber cover so that its doesn't break?
I’d say never leave the legs in anything but a standing pose and watch the humidity if he’s in a basement (I use a dehumidifier).
@@fanboysforever Will petroleum jelly help?
@@JoeJoe-xn3zv I’ve never tried it but it it should be okay if you watch the humidity and posing.
I'm old enough to remember 80s MOTU in real time, but never got the chance to outgrow it. It wasn't about being on to the next line for me - production ceased. And one thing I can confirm is that Mattel had absolutely no idea what to do with MOTU back then. There were certain details that I became aware of after the fact but I recognized it as a kid. That's the crazy part about seeing how it's handled today. It's not that I think they are "ruining my beloved toyline", but more that it is mirroring the past in a way that invites collapse without resolving on its own volition.
Nice review Jared. I missed out on him, not one of my favorite characters, but I might try to pick one up later. Congrats on the new addition to the family. :) Glad everyone is doing well. 🙂
They doed same treatment with stinkor he could be a great adition tooake him mutated form and clawful
I gaved him the thunder punch head fits him well and gived that fig the new eternia extra head
Hey buddy, great video. I collect vintage and customise but don't really collect Origins except on occasion. How come Thunder Punch He Man is so expensive. Is it a US store exclusive (In UK)? Thanks
Hey thanks! Is it super expensive in the UK you mean? I don’t think it was ever exclusive or anything over here. I know that it’s a tough situation over there for a lot of the figures!
@fanboysforever that's exactly what I meant. Sorry it wasn't clear. I was falling asleep lol. Yeh it's going for £50 - £100 routinely and usually the higher end. Its probably the main reason I don't collect the whole line. The mark ups and difficulty on exclusives are crazy. Cheers
Awesome!! Congratulations!! Glad to hear everyone is doing well! Take care and God bless!
Being born in '80, for the most part, I still remember where I found a good chunk of the figures. Extendar came from Sears, as did the Wind Raider. Modulok came from Woolworths (really showing my age there)! And Whiplash from a local pharmacy... the figures really were everywhere, even at little convenience stores. He looks great with the lance. It is sort of odd that he only includes the shield, but otherwise he looks really good. Congrats on the new family addition :)
Congratulations👍🏿. ...Now she just needs some MOTU themed onesies 😁. Mattel get on it: we need an infant size Battle Armor insignia, Roboto gears, & Orko "O" 3 Pack immediately!
I’m here for it!!!
Minha personagem favorita 😍
Congrats!
Congrats on the baby and enjoy every moment. They grow up so fast! New subscriber. Love your channel.
I hate the awful guttural affectation you're making with your voice. Thought this was in the domaine of valley bimbos.
His head is off... couldnt say what it exactly is... too broad maybe?
the nose is not right that throws off the rest.
roboto is missing his hart he had in original 80s line!!!!!! so they did take something away!!!!
Roboto’s heard that line from more than a few women over the years.
Yeah, the execution is not quite there. Interesting because even though it's non-flocked with a distinctly Moss Man head - he still appears to be defined by Re-Use. The difference being instead of a Beastman repaint it looks like they tried attempted to at once design a Moss Man sculpt for a possible future Release (operative word being "possible" because Origins operates in a wierd space of looking like it could just as easily tank as it could go on for years), share parts with the MOTU/Stranger Things mashup, and fit it into TOG. Which is not inherently a bad thing or lazy, but it did not work in this figure's favor. As you showed in the vid, there are some things that can be done to make it stronger without being an All-Out Custom, but ultimately the Out-Of-The-Box figure needed more. I do like the shorts & belt. Would've liked to see those with some matching boots though.
There was three heads for him ,well i have the one with the scar and looks like the dude from nickel back singer
That is a good looking he dude ,and the head looks bout the best one to date.i waiting on him to get to me so I'll no then if he is a good buck ,
What outfit does April O'Neil wearing in tmnt 2014?
Looks great. I ordered it(one for me & one for my Nephew)but it was Cancelled. Super annoying 👎🏿.
I wish they would not be that backwards orientated with MV New Eternia but instead go crazy like with this design. One can only hope 😢
Who could have guessed that 2 years later, this wave would still be on full price pegs at Target.
I often have a laugh thinking back to this video about how I thought it was hard to find some of these guys! Lol
@@fanboysforever somewhere out in the multiverse is an Earth where these are the rarest origins figures of all.
Thanks for the review, still waiting for mine but looking forward to it. You probably just forgot about it, but Lady Slithers tail comes with a male body peg and the red skirt piece is an adaptor to convert the peg to a female body one. It is possible to take the red skirt off the tail so you can attach it to Mer-Man (or any male body) just fine.
Thanks for that! I had to go through so much to even make it work (mine was missing the female peg somehow lol) that I forgot it was even an adapter, good catch!
@@fanboysforever Ah right, I forgot that you had all those problems with your Lady Slither, understandable that once you finally got a working one you left it alone 😅
Been indifferent to the tmnt/motu crossover but, really loving this mer-man.
Merdude from tmnt seems to be part inspiration
