COMPLETELY NEW SCULPTS for He-Man and Beast Man Cartoon Collection Figures

[@dadatarms]

Every He-Man figure should include a hand with the vertical wrist articulation. That "sword aloft" pose is iconic.

[@chotolatte]

I’m really excited for these especially after this video. I really hope we get Filmation characters like Masque, Shokoti and Plundor.

[@matthewbrune5490]

We Got them in classics, a chance for New Eternia figures, so mayhaps there’ll be a chance for origins

[@bentonrp]

It'd be cool if we get Zodac and his magical chair

[@markpierce4416]

Please not the pink bunny

[@chotolatte]

@@markpierce4416 we need the pink bunny. For world peace.

[@Unicornjellyfish1]

Origins is an amazing toy line. I gave a bunch of figures to my friend’s kid and he’s been having a blast playing with them and swapping the parts out. They really nailed it for kids and adults

[@overload666]

Hey! @pixeldan you know, I wish mattel would make an accessory pack of hands/boots/feet/gloves. Because the cartoon collection without the armor would make a great looking Savage He-Man if we had bare feet…especially for the origins line (because the slight height difference).

[@Agrippaiscariot666]

Ok so Dan I hate to rain on the parade but at 14:04 the side by side comparison, it looks like the newer cartoon He-man has two left shins. I believe you've got a QC defect there man.

[@micshork]

I may be in the minority, but I would have preferred more new characters. I am hoping they can finish the original vintage line along with Princess of Power.

[@sunnyshine2215]

They are still finishing the vintage line, that will be available on Mattel Creations but this Cartoon line will be at retail.

[@SergioAL]

​@@sunnyshine2215 but it's more difficult to get than just going to your usual toy shop and get them.

[@wolfman210]

@@sunnyshine2215 Translation: they ran out of the popular characters that would actually sell at retail to make. Same thing happened with DC Universe Classics back in the day once they started filling the line with deep cuts and auxiliary characters it died.

[@tatt4music]

@@SergioAL Not when they are Walmart releases. A lot of walmarts are not carrying MOTU anymore.

[@tatt4music]

The legs are straighter at the knees. So they are the same size as the regular origins. But technically the same length.

[@gianluca.pastorelli]

Thanks Dan! Keep these MOTU reviews coming, they're the number 1 reason I've been following your channel for a decade now

[@leomicorreo]

The reason why the figures in the animated series were different was because the animations were based on motion capture with human beings as models, for example you can see that when they run, they have a realism characteristic of that technique. Therefore, "Filmation" toy figures must be proportioned properly and that is why they are different. Greetings from Ecuador!

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

That Super7 filmation He-Man in vintage style is the stuff of nightmares .... that hair sculpt alone OMG!

[@mikepetersen7319]

They look really great and the fact that Mattel made new sculpts for this line is awesome. He Man's Face is maybe the best so far and Beast Man looks also great. Can't wait until Skeletor comes. Imagine Mattel would bring out a Castle Grayskull in Filmation style...or Snake Mountain...drool 🤤

[@SamuraiLloyd]

Both these figures look really good and I can't wait to add them to my MOTU collection. It'll be very nice to get these Filmation designs alongside everything else. Hopefully the cartoon collection expands outwards to things like Filmation She-Ra, 200X He-Man, and the newer CGI He-Man, lots of possibilities there.

[@oraculoroad]

¡Gracias!

[@TiVo67]

The addition of the starburst saying “80’s Adventures” leads me to believe that they’re gonna also do 200x, Revelations, New Adventures, and/or Netflix MOTU

[@TrevorToonArt]

Btw, you can push the sword all the way down in the sheath but it is a tight fit and might scratch up the sword.

[@Tygz716]

Dan, any insight in how deep the cartoon collection will go compared to current Origins?

[@HectorBorboa]

Thanks a lot Dan!... I do love what Super7 did mixing the toyline with the Filmation aesthetic, but these new ones man, they look way better and more accurate, definitely going all in with this new line

[@BFBeast666]

I'm going to pick and choose. My nostalgia for the cartoon is limited since "my" MotU canon came from the German audio dramas but I won't say "no" to either a Filmation She-Ra, Hordak or Shadow Weaver. All in all I'd have preferred Mattel finishing the rest of the "vintage toy" line of Origins before rolling out this series. Now that most of the figures built around the standard body are done, Mattel seem super reluctant to deliver the specialty figs like Dragstor, Modulok or Extendar.

[@JoshuaVariell]

This is so far the most detailed review I've seen for these.

[@edism3]

It would be nice that Mattel make cats in Cartoon Collections :)

[@archmage7813]

I have no problem with this new direction and have in fact pre-ordered all of the figures. My only problem is we are still missing so many classic great figures. And not just are we missing figures, we're missing a whole group of characters called the great rebellion. I want to see the great rebellion made into origins before I want to see the cartoon.

[@vidal_rodriguez80s]

I pre-ordered mine already; this is how action figures should be made, cartoon-accurate!!

[@MrTheMighty]

You showed the main thing that I had been wondering about - that the scabbard is detachable. I like the scabbard, but I also like that it can be removed so it isn't visible from the front.

[@Zinontoysandhandmadeconstructs]

At last!!Very nice sculpts from the company.And for first time(in my opinion),a nice try for Heman's head!!Beast Man is very nice figure!! They were in mood when they create those figures(sorry for my english).

[@AintNobodyAtAll]

I think this is the best version of animated He-Man that's ever been done so far. I have a couple nitpicks. The thighs look weird (kinda like Galaxy Warriors). The boots are wrong. And why is it so hard to do an up-down wrist so he can do his iconic pose? I wonder if someone has a patent on that kind of joint so they use it very sparingly to avoid royalties.

[@Riz_]

Hi Pixel Dan, So excited about these Filmation figures for Masters of the universe. I really look forwards to see which characters they decide to bring out. Really hope we get Evil-Lynn with the black cape thing.

[@darthprime4916]

I’m mad that Mattel has gotten me into yet ANOTHER subline of the same characters I now have many, many versions of 🤣🤣. Im all in.

[@MattKayser]

After my Mondo Battle Cat, I told myself I was out of MOTU collecting... but I did pre-order He-Man and Skeletor from this wave 😆

[@johnthwaites5976]

These look fantastic! I hope we get the full range of figures in this style

[@gabrielluque1870]

The artwork of Francisco Etchart is full of power!

[@allmusicfan88]

Dan, Masters Of The WWE "The Rock" has the correct Origins Filmation He-Man color, and it matches the Classics versions of both Mattel and Super7. I have made my Origins Filmation He-Man figure off of "The Rock". Only thing is he had gold arm bracers, instead of orange. It's too bad that Mattel didn't go with that color for skin tone with the new body. I will still collect the cartoon line, love Filmation too much! :)

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

I can't believe that 20 years after Marvel Legends and DCUC made 6.5" the absolute standard for adult collector action figures, we still don't have a MOTU line that is properly in scale with it. We've got two 7" lines (Classics and Masterverse), a 5.5" line (Origins) and a line that's exactly 6" (this new one) but still if you want a He-Man that'll play with your Black Series, Elite Collection etc. we still don't really have it. Classics probably comes closest because you can fudge them in with the excuse that they're MEANT to be bigger and bulkier than your other figures, but that doesn't explain why the regular human characters like Queen Marlena still tower over Spider-Man and Green Lantern. I suppose in reality the closest we've gotten is the 200x line but of course those were all based on updated designs, you can't get the classic versions of characters in that line. Plus the articulation is far below what other compatible lines offer.

[@RealElMaximo]

I can't wait to get these. With this combination of scale, articulation, animation styling and animation-specific accessories, these are truly the figures we old men have been waiting 40 years to get. Also, I'd love to get "expression" packs from Mattel Creations featuring multiple interchangeable heads for the figures. Laughing He-Man, Robot He-Man and Laughing Skeletor immediately come to mind.

[@theartisanrogue]

I. LOVE. THAT. CARD. ART.

[@superfunforce8052]

This is a fun idea! For me though, the new Origins head is already perfect & the best balance between comics and cartoons, (especially compared to the original Benicio Del Toro head lol) so I’ll skip this. But I want to see more characters in this line! 💯 Funimation FTW 🌟💯

[@jennfrculver1980]

that he man is AWSOME

[@joshuastarcher4272]

I'm so excited for these. I already have them pre-orderd at BBTS. This opens up the possibility for a Filmation Panthor grayskull, etc... Fingers crossed I just hope people love them also.

[@lipranditoys]

That is a toyline on life support. By the way, the sculpt on the legs is awful, these lines do not draw any existing muscle

[@wallbiewtf9422]

Beast Man's whip is a victim of shrinkflation. . . . That's not a double entendre.

[@Spacetrucker138]

looking good, so im guessing if the knees are bent a little they would look more like the origins line, cannot wait to try to get ones I missed from the origins line that the scalpers have on ransom

[@frequincyrecording4286]

I love these! Can’t wait to add to my collection.

[@supergeoff]

I really love these Cartoon He-Man Action Figures

[@chrisford2208]

Hey Dan, thanks for another excellent review...always enjoy your take on all things MOTU. Are you still due to review a few other Origins figures from previous waves...like Squeeze, Serpent Claw Man-at-Arms, Spikor etc etc?

[@Bloodmask]

Thank you so much. All the answers i hoped for. Finally the perfect He-Man figure can be swapped together.

[@danielrecommends]

I was able to grab these up a little early. I love them both. Super pumped to get this new line and the sculpts are great. I'm hoping the females in this line have better looking face sculpts and nice looking knees.

[@TXVGCollector82]

Great review! Got these preordered online but will grab on sight if they hit the stores first 😂

It would be interesting to see how they fit with the Origin Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain...

[@Rocket1377]

Yeah, it's disappointing that Dan didn't even show He-Man riding Battle Cat.

[@tzanerman]

@@Rocket1377 he uploaded pictures on his Instagram.

[@Rocket1377]

I'm excited for this line. It's just a shame that the colours on these first two figures are so inaccurate to the cartoon. Mattel made He-Man very pale, and Beast Man should be a much darker shade of orange, almost red. One look at the cover of the official cartoon guide book, and you can clearly see how tanned He-Man should be.

[@michaelj2276]

Are we sure that's not Dan's lighting setup?

[@wildsmiley]

​@@michaelj2276It's not the lighting. This new He-Man has the exact same skin tone as the regular Origins He-Man, as he showed in this video. Better get a can of spray-on tan!

[@marvelsteveo]

Got them both! I love that Beast Man.

[@JCWFIGZ-yn2gk]

I can’t find any of these toys in stores nor any new masterveres figures

[@jonathannichols372]

Pixel Dan - you are a class act! You always have such engaging content! Never stop!

[@TheBuntra8061]

Another amazing review. So glad I pre-ordered all of these.

[@gargermaxpower2408]

The overall figure looks excellent to me, but in my opinion, the shade of yellow in the hair is too light!!! It should be a mix of orange and ochre yellow, in other words, much darker! Then, in my opinion, He-Man would be perfect!

[@allmusicfan88]

Mattel doesn't believe in darker colors, everything a little too light! Did they not look at the Classics line they did? lol!! Or the Cartoon for accurate colors? Oh well.....

[@bee-beargaming]

I always wanted the toys to look like the cartoon more so this is a dream come true for me enjoyed the review

[@BriarShinn]

[@mattchalucha894]

Pretty cool figures! If I had the room, I would pick them up.

[@Bobafett316]

These are pretty cool looking and I’m happy for those that wanted them, but I got into origins for the original line so I’ll just be sticking to vintage style figures, that’s all I’ve done from the start other than the 2 200X figures.

[@jacobstoner208]

I love these! Great additions to Origins

That Beast Man is just 😙👌

[@Dwight-y9w]

He Man look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍

[@nujevad28]

I think the reason He-man and Beast man are usually the first ones released is because they have different bodies, and not just recolors.

[@northstar5]

You sure about that? Look again. Other than heads and boots, they are identical.

[@nujevad28]

@@northstar5 I was talking in general, because in previous lines, He-man gat the hairless body and Beastman had the furry version.

[@browniejacobg8172]

I haven’t collected any origins since i was a kid but, being a fan of the filmation series, these might make me start again

[@SlytherinReviews]

the reason why they aren't using the Flimation logo is because of Trademark, Copyright, and IP Laws, and trust me it would cost a lot to have that Filmation logo on as you would have to pay royalties too

[@white8crow]

I don't think anyone has ever gotten the animated He-Man look right. I don't like this look for him. Beast-Man looks fine.

[@tntsk868]

I like Beast Man he was my late brother's favorite character for vintage MOTU.

[@starwarscollectingandhobbi5980]

So far, I've reviewed Cartoon Collection Prince Adam and Cringer, SHE-RA, Clawful. Clawful, Adam are the exact same height as Origins Battle Armor Skeletor and the female figures are all still the same height Origins or Cartoon Collection. I can clearly see your cartoon collection He-man has much taller boots than regular Origins but I still can't find a figure that is a different height than regular Origins. I don't have Cartoon Collection He-man though.

[@adampage9595]

I'm still missing some MOTU origins figures and Snake Mountain 😂

[@gregscalzo5259]

These look very cool but I hope they finish out the characters in the original origins bodies as well.

[@Rocket1377]

That's what Mattel plan on doing. Unfortunately, nearly all of the remaining vintage figures require 100% unique sculpts, and complex action features that are an integral part of their designs (Rio Blast, Extendar, Rokkon, Stonedar, Modulok, Dragstor, and Multi-Bot all have transforming abilities). Selling them at retail is too much of a financial risk, which is why they will be Mattel Creations exclusives. The cartoon figures and upcoming retail Origins figures (like Terroar and the Turtles crossover figures) are cheaper to produce, so they are a safer bet for Mattel at retail, and the sales of those will help pay for the tooling of the exclusives.

[@seanuh60]

Why no masterverse comparison time?

[@maddestmike5791]

I like that they're a bit taller and hope more characters are added to this line. ^^

[@hegga_nm]

Pixel Dan, do you have any information about Cartoon Man-at-arms availability? He wasn't supposed to be an exclusive but he isn't available for PO on BBTS. :(

[@bohemianoop]

As a matter of fact, we don't want these dwarf figures anymore. The Classic Filmation figure was awesome. Need figures with better anatomic ratio and better ones. Don't understand why they keep on releasing this odd looking figures.

[@hardact2follow663]

I wondered if these Filmation heads work on the Masterverse line?
