MOTU, Masters of the Universe, and the vintage toyline filled with awesome, wild, sometimes weird, and definitely Absurd 1980s Toys & Action Figures. 10 Original 1980s MOTU Toys and Action Figures that are the most absurd toys in the line. My top 10 Absurd MOTU 80s Toys from the Vintage Original 1980s Masters of the Universe Toyline. Skeletor and He-Man top the line along with dozens of incredible characters and gimmicks, but here are my top 10 WEIRDOS.

I always considered Faker to be closer to Bizarro. He’s not fooling anyone, but he’s still dangerous.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I like that, and I think he is portrayed like that in some media. BUt yes, still equally as fierce.

[@andyappleton3353]

I always liked my faker figure, although he was just another of Skeletors cronies in my storylines. He never tried to kid anyone into thinking he was He-Man.

[@adamkime5205]

I had the OG Stinkor as a kid- I still have him. My experience was that the stink lasted YEARS. He still carries a bit of it. He made my whole toy drawer smell. Heck, some of my old toys STILL carry a bit of “eau de Stinkor.”

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That is cool. First, my MOss Man did not keep the Pine scent, and the new STinkor from Origins didn't even smell. UGH

[@Walboro]

My vintage Stinkor still smells a little, but my Origins one (which removed the smell entirely in European regions) has a little sticky-pad with a drop of patchouli oil inside his armour.

[@jambogb]

Even my original 80's Stinkor has still that funny smell! And I love it!

[@AlexanderOster]

Both my vintage ones smell fresh today.

[@knightwolfpro4494]

They'd added the scent into the plastic instead of just coating him, that's they it lasted so long. They did the same with Moss Man. Gen here must have gotten a bad one because Mine alos lasted for years and still had it when it ended up in a garage sale

[@arctrooper999]

For some reason I never had a problem with Faker, my playtime was a combination of the mini comics and cartoon, so Faker was more rank and file. Sounds stupid maybe, but I would put Snake Mountain in a dark corner of the room and when He-Man chased the evil warriors away once they got there the Heroic Warriors would stop and go home cause it was a place that you just go into.

[@jacobwebb2623]

I grew up with those toys and I love the 1980s because there was no such thing as a "bad idea." Did they have bad ideas, yes, but they would try anything and the "MOTU" series was the prime example of this, and i mean that in the best way possible. Great video!

I always used Faker as Skeletors failed experiment to make his own He-Man. He wasn't AS powerful as He-Man, but still strong enough to be a henchman. He kind of became my Starscream, plotting against Skeletor because a part of him was kind of like He-Man, he wanted to defeat him, but only to take his place and then beat He-Man.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Love your thoughtful perspective on it. I shared some of the same story for Faker, too.

I sold my og Stinkor with one arm in '22. The scent was definitely weaker, but dude was still rockin enough patchouli to season the giant motu box over attic dust. Modulok was great to own, but I always felt like it wasnt really a he-man figure, didnt count

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

0:45 There were only 72 vintage MOTU figures? Not as many as I expected. I had just three. I was born a little too late for MOTU. They were present on the playground, but were just about to be supplanted by the next big thing, my main nostalgic childhood franchise; The Transformers. The Filmation style of the MOTU cartoon already seemed dated to me back then, when compared to other sci-fi fantasy series like Thundercats, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, or The Mighty Orbots. I do have enough fondness for the characters to have a small MOTU collection though. 5 Origins figures, plus the main cast from the Club Greyskull Ultimates (cartoon style) line. Just missing Evil-Lyn. 😬

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I still love how you honor them and that small connection you had to them. Yeah, there were not as many MOTU as GI JOE or Transformers. I was there for their debut so I have a big emotional connection. Transformers came out 2 years later, and they did take over my love, too. Thanks for watching and sharing.

I liked Stinkor and Snout Spout. It made sense that Moss Man defeated Stinkor in the toy comic. I liked your explanation on Snout Spout for why you didn't care for him, but I don't think it's that big of a deal if elephants exist on Eternia, considering all of the other earth-type creatures that do. Faker was mid. Never wanted him, but would have imagined a scenario for him if I had him. Very much in line with Shadow the Hedgehog, Venom, Evil Ryu, Bizarro, etc. I agree with all of your other down votes.

I had blast-attak years back and also Saurod as well which our mother brought us from her trip in italy! We asked he to see if she can find something to bring us from there since was another country.I always wanted he-man & skeletor in my collection since you know were the first protagonists you can think,but never had the chance for one of the characters we wanted the most! We always had the most obscure characters in the motu line besides LJN's thundercats which at least there we had 2 lion oh's at least.Because i was never see blast-attak in the series was completely weird to me,but also lame with a pretty unique and also awkward power! Blow up himself with a wire behind his back which was like a syringe in the button!?! What kind of an idea is that?! i thought when i first look at it in my hands it was some kind of a boiler robot thing that was blown up to help the evil ones!!! And saurod that was spitting sparks from his mouth was ok i guess close to blast-attak but absent from the series,at least he was in the feature film! I still remember the first time i understood which character was from the film that had also a really small run time before skeletor kick his tail and this made me really glad i have him! Well this day at least with the origins line we had a second chance for a scareglow and not only! Worth mention that scareglow was one of the figures i wanted like mad man from the past! 😉

Thanks. Well, although their official release year is 1982, many South American Countries did get early releases (first production, etc) in late 1981. There must have been some of those released in the USA, as well. As far as some other commenters who shared with me they got theirs in 1981, it was only He-Man & Skeletor. Besides the old Christmas Photos of me with that year written on the back of them, I always knew which Christmas I was given those 2 characters...long before the internet told me their official release was 1982. So I never knew otherwise. I was excited to find some people online as well as here in the comments who also had that unofficial "early bird" release.

@@GENXPERIENCE Thanks for replying, I didn’t realise there was availability before ‘82. I have fond memories of getting MOTU figures and accessories for Xmas in the early ‘80s, those were the best times 😎👍🏻

[@scockery]

Tyrantisaurus Rex was King Hiss's mount. Or at least in Preternia times.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Yeah, technically you are correct...I was just going by that great commercial showing Skeletor riding it. But you are right.

Love Stinkor great looking character and pretty much got me into MOTU back in 85

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That odor gimmick was pretty awesome. Still made him one crazy character.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

He's in my favorites list because of his color scheme. Black and white with bright ducking orange.

[@CarlosCruz-mw4hp]

I’m surprised you didn’t use the meteor beasts. I thought that was ridiculous.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Hey there. I did mention the Rock People and the Meteorbs a little bit...but I liked them, lol. I think because I was turning into such a HUGE Transformers fan by then. Thank you for watching.

[@danielroberto2209]

They had enormous competition with Transformers. What a time to be alive during the toy wars!

[@CarlosCruz-mw4hp]

@@danielroberto2209 I found out about them about 2 years ago. I didn’t think they were competition.

[@shamus414]

Rotar and Twistoid do now come with legs.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Yes, I saw that in classics. I'll probably get in Origins....if they ever make it that far...and include legs

[@tardiscommand1812]

Man I hd those terror claws and was one of my favs

lol...I'm not dissing it too much. It would have been a great action feature for kids to play with...but just absurd that he needed them. I do appreciate the comment, man.

You was looking for other toys for four part tried to crash dummies they had a whole range enjoy good video

[@GENXPERIENCE]

OMG, I do remember the Crash Test Dummies...now that you reminded me. Thanks for that is a great one.

[@futuramayeah]

i liked how colorful the first wave was? with faker and beast man, i didn't like that merman didn't look like the picture on the back of the card, and he could have been a brighter shade of green , i think someone was lazy and didn't want to spend the time sculpting him in clayl, i was ok with faker being orange and blue, that would make it easy for kids to discern which figure was faker

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I like you thought on Faker's colors, for sure. But more importantly, also felt so let down with Merman. Today, I have the Origins that looks like the design we were supposed to get, and my Stinkor is that of the old Merman design...that we got back then. Thank you for your insightful comments. I do appreciate it.

[@tommorales2371]

Motu was before my time, but some of it was odd af, more g.i.joe for me.

Thanks. That is just what this is all about, isn't it?

[@retrojoe8290]

You got to embrace the 80's cheese. Remember the Dragon bones carry case?. The cool thing about vint MOTU was every toy had a play gimmic (they can't even do that with Masterverse). 😂 And Snout Spout kicks A**!!. Yo Freaking Joe!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

YO JOE is right. And yes, SS is pretty damn cool. It is sad that even Origins gets neutered on action features. Thank you for watching.

[@danielroberto2209]

Battle Bones was hilarious in the Filmation cartoon, because they used it as a vehicle, but they had to walk to get it to move like in the Flintstones!

"Thunder Punch He-Man" looked fun, but the cap popping worked maybe 70% of the time. There were quite a few misfires, lol

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I'll give the new look wasn't bad, but I had no idea it wasn't reliable...just to little bang...for your buck. Thank you for the comment

[@danielroberto2209]

That toy was pure evil. The first time I used it, my dog heard it and got pissed. He was part German Shepherd. I thought it was funny so I snapped it again and the dog attacked the figure and took it from me! It was under the kitchen table and all the time I tried to get it back, the dog would snarl and turn into a hell hound. Freaked the hell out of me. That toy was under the table for a week!

[@TerrickTerran]

Well Rotar and Twistoid automatically win worst. I disliked Moss Man over Stinkor but it's a toss-up and I love Multi-Bot but yeah comboing him with Modulok makes it even better. My controversial pick is though I love the character I hate the toy of Ram-Man.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Interesting, but love your thoughts, especially on Ram Man. But I appreciate the counter of Stinkor and Moss Man, when I was a Team Moss Man for sure. Thanks for the engagement and the view.

[@TerrickTerran]

@@GENXPERIENCE you are welcome. Moss Man's flocking was his curse to me...heaven forbid something got spilled on him.

[@lgerback34]

Not my boy Snout Spout!!!!

lol. He is pretty awesome, I know.

[@erickcalmet]

5:34 when i was kid like seven years old i play with this in the school, hit or scratch with a stone to make the blast and a little of fire good time and the guns with cap y put only one cap and kpay rullette Stinkor was a great figure, the repaint of merman make it better than the original

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Okay, I'll give you that Stinkor was a better looking Merman. You're right. Good times playing with caps. Loved them

[@erickcalmet]

@@GENXPERIENCE thanks my friend Greetings from Venezuela

[@chrisbcritter]

all your lil' innuendos (he's a top *tee hee*) X-D have to admit - there were 4 on here i really like - Stinkor, just a really nice character design - he's one of those where your imagination leads him to be something more - despite being Stenchmaster, he also is an evil scientist for Skeletor. And hey - what better way to cease a battle than with patchouli? Dragstor i actually liked - strange feature, yes - but his design was almost otherworldly and (again) imagination says he could also be an evil scientist doing his own Frankenstien / cyborg like experiments, deep within the Fright Zone. Thunder Punch He-Man was darned cool at the time, and i admit - there was something to the "heft" of the figure and a pretty heroic outfit... WAY MORE SO than Flying Fists, that's when it felt like even Mattel wasn't caring anymore. Seriously - why would the most powerful man in the universe need spinning balls - er - mace?!?! Like you, the one i'm on the fence about was Snout Spout, though i think it was a neat interpretation of AND neat to have a heroic firefighter - props! However i WILL give it up for the "New Eternia" version - don't know if you've seen that one, but wow, he blows me away (no pun intended). That said - i agree with the others... the original Rotar and Twistoid - just.... nah. Didn't even seem it was part of the same universe!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Great comment, thank you. I do want to repeat some of these I loved...but are ridiculous to me. Either way, no hate. You know, you're right about Dragstor. As I kept looking at him, I just thought he was a crazy like Mad Max type character and his design grew on me. But you kill me with the "scientist for Skeletor" thing...I used to make those same kind of imaginative jobs for my figures as well. Thank you again, great comment and thanks for watching.

[@dennisrounds1996]

Man just imagine if those last two, Spiinnar and Rotor had caps action as well? They’d be pop -tops! 😆 Or spinning AND Squirting Action hmm 🤔 Spit-blast? Circle- squirt ? Spout- off? 😝

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Okay, you WIN today's comments, because I love you not taking it too seriously. Circle Squirt is something I didn't think I needed to hear, but I did. It is hysterical.

[@godofzombi]

Akshully Tri-clops wouldn't bring Dragstor a spare because they are on opposing factions. 😉 But I get what you mean. I think Mattel was looking at the success of Transformers when they came up with this guy.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Okay, okay, you got me there. I just figured he was more the mechanic, lol. It did feel like Transformers Fever was taking over.

[@shamus414]

Snout Spout? In the cartoon he was Hose Nose.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

He was..I swear they must have recorded before the name was agreed upon.

[@crankysaint]

I lost interest in MOTU when Hordak came along. The figures kinda went off the rails into silly territory and felt like a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I did love the Horde's first figures: Grizzlor, Leech, etc...but it is true, that is what was going on. I just thought when they went all Snake Men.

[@surfhoudini2095]

And faker was a good pice to add to the roster I liked the colors.

Great army builder. The colors are fun, that is a given.

I’m wondering if he goes out with his strawberry shortcake shirt for drinks, just an awesome shirt!👍

[@GENXPERIENCE]

lol, I am not afraid to wear strawberry out...I assure you.

[@needfoolthings]

Dragstor's name does NOT tell you exactlw what he does! He could also be a playset transforming wardrobe containing ridiculous women`s clothing.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That would make him more interesting.

[@NearGuttersPath]

Wave 4 in 1985 was the last good wave. My Moss Man and Stinkor figures retained their smell many many years after I got them. How did yours wear off so fast, did you play with them in the bathtub?!

Grizzlor was in that one...so LOVED that big beast.

Thanks man. Turning to metal makes sense actually. My last year was truly 86...although, I saw the live movie in 87...had to, lol.

[@futuramayeah]

i don't like that the modulok figure has a broad chest in the mini comic he has round body parts like a round chest and a short body so they could have made two short figures with round bodies and more interconnectivity of those round torsos

[@GENXPERIENCE]

There was not a lot of consistency between the media, was there? I think I agree with you.

[@JamesScottSelfDefense19]

I know I'm in the minority here but whenever I hear "Motu" instead of M-O-T-U it just sounds weird. Like a Mexican Band instead of an American toyline produced in an Asian country.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Really? I might love that band...just because it calls itself, MOTU

[@godofzombi]

I have less problems with Faker being blue than Eternians not being able to see the similarities between He-man and Prince Adam. That just doesn't sit well with me: He-man in pink tights = Prince Adam. But He-man in battle armor = still He-man. That's why I liked the first mini comics better.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I didn't need a Prince Adam either. Although I watched and enjoyed the cartoon, I did love the origin stories given in a little more adult style in the early 80s ones. Great art, exciting adventure. Yeah, Adam was fooling me...but I still couldn't stand Faker.
