I was laughing at your Death's Head story as I did exactly the same thing, except my ebay order shipped before I saw that it was more widely available 😂 Still, I don't regret it as he is a great figure. I still have my UK Transformers comics where he was introduced and I always loved his character. I would like a repaint in his original Transformers colours but if not this one is still fantastic. I have him on my desk next to (comic colour) Galvatron.

Blazing Godzilla and Deaths Head are my two favorites from your selection. I think I would have put through the Leonardo figure. I really liked the look and colours. The improvement of the Sharon Carter figure compared to the other one you have is wild! That alone is reason enough to push her through. I think Death's Head would be my top pic from the quarter.

The boys are back! I know nothing about Death's Head, but that figure looks awesome! it's so different from typical figures/characters. If I was a kid and didn't know anything about that figure, but saw it in store, I would still want it and I would find a way to fit him into whatever figures I already had. I really like how he can either hold the weapon, or, take his hand off and make the weapon his hand. Luke Cage really does look so much like Terry Crews! If Chad didn't bring it up, I was going to point it out in my comment haha.

I always look forward to being welcomed into your toy room every video. The toys are great and fun, but I keep coming back for you and Chad. You guys are the star of the show, the toys are just a nice added bonus. Speaking of toys, I really like both Godzilla figures. The spikes on both are top knotch and I love the paint job on them. The "gunt" on Space Godzilla did stand out to me until you mentioned it. I personaly think, out of all the screenshots you shared, the one you got is still the best looking of the bunch.

@@KEEPINGitREAL213 thanks 🙂 I’m a completist as well but I am also beginning to question whether I need EVERYTHING. The second version of Sgt Slaughter just arrived for example and we was “deluxe” because he came with a bit of extra junk. I really could have done without him but I just mindlessly preordered. The Haslabs are pricing me out of being a completist as well. Even if I could afford them all I simply don’t have the space.

You have been a toy collector for years, by now you must have a pretty good experience as to what constitutes a GOOD QUALITY TOY, Could you please explain about ‘Toy quality’ , the considerations for judging it along with some examples. I know this is a long question which might require an even longer answer but I believe it to be an important one and helpful to new collectors.

@@zubairsarwar815 that is a loaded question. The definition of quality is “the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind” so when I’m judging a figure I’m comparing it to other similar figures. It’s hard to compare a dollar store toy to an expensive high-end collectible. In this episode we said that Darkseid was a poor quality figure. That’s because we have lots of other McFarlane DC figures to compare it to. Generally, they’re solid figures that can fall off a shelf without breaking, the plastic is the right combination of hard and soft. They are usually very posable and the joints move easily with a consistent amount of friction. With Darkseid, he feels hollow and brittle. Like he could break like a vase if he fell on the floor. Some joints are too loose and some are too tight. The pieces fall apart with little force so it can’t really be “played with”. It looks great, but it’s not durable or fun. I hope that answers your question somewhat.

That Ragman is cool. I had to cancel a bunch of pre-orders including that figure cause I need to scale back. I wonder how long McFarlane's contract with DC is for cause Jada Toys would do wonders with that license if they made DC figures in the Marvel Legends scale.

I never bought a motu origins figure. Until the cartoon skeletor and he-man which I think are two of the best work mattel has ever done with the characterizations. Can't believe Hordak is coming to the series. It only took Mattel 40+ years to accomplish this. Which is telling a lot. The origins line has been terrible overall all these years. Squat deformed, repugnant, stiff looking creepy crap. Finally someone there got the idea these were ' action figure dollies ' and began the laborious job of engineering. Even the plastic seems better on the cartoon series. 😂

Hey guys, another great MOTU video. Happy to see Chad getting sucked in to the Cartoon Collection, I am still mainly about the regular Origins but am enjoying the Cartoon Collection as well as the Turtles of Grayskull. I am also quiet excited about the teased Thundercats of Grayskull (or whatever they call it) that we could see next year. There are a lot of 80s toy lines that could be brough into Origins😁I have similar feeling towards the Snake Lair but probably would have backed it anyway had it gone forward. Still, I will be happy if they come back in a few months with a more Grayskull sized Lair.

@@gavinelliotjones Hey Gavin. Thanks for the kind words. We seem to have similar collecting preferences. I’m happy that Vypor and Necroconda are coming to the regular Origins line but I hope they take a break from Snake Men after that. I’ll likely cherry pick the Thundercats figures as I’ve done with the Turtles line. I’m hoping for affordable Snake Man and Horde bases in the future. Toy companies need to recognize that most people don’t have room to display multiple massive play sets. Cheers.

Haha, I love the opening B reel scene! The movie Little Monsters was one of my favourites as a kid. I just paused your episode to Google where I can watch it for free and downloaded the Plex app, so I can watch it tomorrow during work. Fred Savage, Ben Savage, you can't go wrong haha. I had the Two-Bad figure when I was a kid, and I thought it was the coolest bad guy figure I owned. The colours were great, the bear hug arms were awesome, it was different than my other normal action figures. I didn't know who Two-Bad was back then, but I learned who he was after watching your videos.
