Interviewer: "You chose your roles carefully. Why do Skeletor? Masters of the Universe?" Frank Langella: "Oh why not? That's one of my favorite parts! Oh I loved that part! My son was four years old and he was He-man running around with his sword and when they offered me Skeletor I couldn't resist! I couldn't wait to play him!" God bless Frank Langella. Even to this date, his Skeletor speech is one of the very few times we got a epic classic comic book style villain monologue. You could easily see someone like Dr. Doom or Darkseid making this same kind of speech back in the day! It was done so perfectly. No wise cracks from the hero, no stupid henchmen interrupting, no jokes, nothing. Just the villain being scary and making the hero (and the audience) wonder if they can pull a victory out of this one! Beautiful!

[@CapitanJusticia]

Great post! I really hope Frank Langella gets one of these figures.

[@zacharyjochumsen9677]

@@CapitanJusticia yeah Frank acthhly considered the movie to ge be bone of his favorite films of his career he I bd,I've considered hit his favorite role ever

[@Nediablo]

Nailed it 👍 exactly captured why I loved the performance! He was a threat. He was taken seriously. At no point in time did I think Gwildor would trip him up into mud for example.

[@phantomsidious2934]

"Let this be our final Battle!!"

[@DarrenWatson64]

Such a fantastic figure to end this incredible toyline. And the ending of this video really touched my heart. Thank you so much for all of these MOTUC reviews over the years, Pixel Dan. And I look forward to MOTU Origins. :)

[@TaliaIGhul]

"Fool! You are no longer my equal! I am more than man! More than life! I... am... a... GOD!" I'm gonna miss this series of reviews. If they don't make anymore, then this is the end of an era.

[@Jeflexful]

Wow! I really teared up because of your heart felt message at the end of the video, Dan. Real fans of MoTU and all its related properties ( including even those that are carbon copies of the property, which essentially are just bootlegs) know and understand deeply and passionately about the journey we've had with this toy line. Because this journey, whether you realise it or not, began back in 1982, and we, the fans, from around the globe, have been on it together since then. It's just that at the time, we didn't have the means of interacting globally except with just neighbourhood kids who happened to share the same passion and hobby. And now, it seems that, by some miracle ( a lot of people simply call this technological advancement but I call it a miracle because it's something we, the 80s kids, would have never thought in a million years, that this thing called the internet would come into existence) we now all are connected via this social media platform such as youtube, twitter Instagram and Facebook where we see, talk and interact with one another in a goodwill fashion and share the things we're most passionate about, which is MoTU. Hope this not the end of this great and amazing line, as well as this journey we've had all these years. So, with that, I say, good journey to you, Dan and all the fans of this pop culture.

[@chwenhoou]

I would love to see Super7 close out MotUC with one more wave to fill the gaps in the 1987 movie. Teela, Man-At-Arms, The Sourceress, Beast Man, Evil-Lynn, an army builder pack of Skeletor's Troops, and Pig Boy/the MotU Movie contest winner. Perhaps we'll get news from NY Toy Fair this coming February or perhaps not. It's been one hell of a 12-year run for MotUC. Whether its the end of this line or not, it's not the end of MotU or Pixel Dan. Just the closing of a chapter. Whatever happens, it's not saying good-bye. Rather, it's us saying good journey.

[@kingwiku9735]

YES X 1000% It would be amazing to have Super7 continue with the classics movie line, since, Mattel can't do it. At the very least, Mattel should let them do the movie characters for the Origins line! And god yes, PIGBOY needs to be in there! A pack in with evil lynn, as he said in an interview, that Meg Foster was especially nice to him on set.

[@Erebus_the_Raven]

We also need Lubbock with his shotgun! Of all the ‘Earth’ characters he was my favourite!

[@devastated_studios]

I've been here from the beginning, from the time they rolled out the first King Greyskull figure to getting my WS collection. It's been a long ride especially when I think back to where I was twelve years ago. Thanks Dan for your positive passion, I couldn't have said it better myself. (Bring on Skeletor's Commandos!)

[@devastated_studios]

He-Man vs the Mythic Legions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6a0n4B4r9GZaq8

[@Elton_Portilho]

MOTUC was really a fun ride over the whole last decade. I'd wish Super 7 could go the extra mile and give us movie versions of Man-at-Arms, Teela, Evil Lynn and Beast Man. Maybe even Skeletor's troopers and "enslaved" He-Man variant. Thanks for reviewing every single piece from MOTUC line since the start, Dan. Much appreciated!

[@peppermintspacecapsule9898]

I know the ReAction figures aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I love 'em; they got me back into MOTU after decades away. After they did the MAN-AT-ARMS movie colourway, I was hoping we'd get some more ReAction figures in '87 movie colours. Both HE-MAN and SKELETOR in vinyl capes would be easy! And they've already made a white SORCERESS. Ah well, maybe they'll make some more one day....

[@Todd4LOM]

This figure has the strongest new figure smell I’ve ever encountered. It hit me as soon as I cracked open the packaging. I love it!

[@GhostGL]

Even stronger then Stinkor!? I loved that as a kid. I still remember opening him in the car, and my mom etc being like what's that smell!? It was great! :)

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Probably it's the unique smell of the gold paint

[@Todd4LOM]

Ghost Stinkor and Moss Man probably had a stronger smell, but those were intentional. I hadn’t even pulled God Skeletor out of the plastic tray and I was practically getting high off the fumes. I agree that it’s something in the gold paint because his wave-mates don’t smell anywhere nearly as strong.

[@eliotbenitez8362]

This figure has a god-level nostalgia factor.

[@Orion124]

Since this is likely the last Classics review, I’d love to see you do a “MOTUC retrospective” review of the whole line 😁 Fantastic review of a fantastic figure!

[@zenbrown9715]

From King Grayskull to God Skeletor this has been an awesome ride

[@PaulRizzo]

Everything comes to he who waits. And I have wait so very long for this moment! 33 years to be exact!

[@barryring3550]

Dan, I was welling up as you were in your final monologue. I’ve loved watching your reviews, and will continue to watch all your future ones. I’m so glad you finally got your hands on God Skeletor! What a landmark figure for you!! Keep up the good work!!

[@mannaandmonsters]

Ooh way to bring it all in at the end, Dan. Brought a tear to the eye

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Finally we getting this. Mine with the rest just shipped. I am a completist and have been a subber since the 2nd year and then preordered everything Super7 released. I am so proud this line went on more than a decade! MOTU FOREVER!

[@adrionjones]

SIX remaining Filmation figures, Pixel Daniel San. Adam and Weaver aren't pictured. I guess I would have loved the movie too if I had seen it at 4 or 5 and not 13, as I did. Been a MOTU fan since the line began. The movie greatly disappointed me because it strayed from the mini comics AND the cartoon. I recognized it in character names only. BUT, that was then and this is now and in between that span of time I have rewatched it as an adult and definitely appreciate it more. Very glad to have these figures. And yes, Frank Langella's performance saved the film...That, and Gwildor eating ribs and chicken.

[@GustHal]

I feel part of this, but is thanks to you... is weird because I dont feel in the same way with anothers channels, artist, athlete, tv guys, with any one; but wheh my kids ask "are you watching your friend videos?" I always answer : "yes, its Pixel talking about MOTUC". And thats how I feel man, you are a one more friend to us. I can´t imagine stop watching your videos and reviews.

[@horrorman2269]

Great review Dan! Heartfelt ending😭I too really like these sculpts, and just received my Dark Despot Skeletor today!

[@Pegwarmers]

God Skeletor turned out great!

[@716straightedge]

Samuel Murdoch here and It’s been such a wild and fun ride these past 12 years, I’ve been watching since classics started, I love all that you’ve done, all the videos on any toy line, but MOTU is also my #1. I’m pretty much a moc collector so these videos helped me experience the toys outta package and up front. Also all of your coverage on power con, SDDC, Matty Panels, toy fairs, other cons, etc made me feel I was there at the shows too, and those Matty Panels and walk throughs were so exciting with all the new reveals and announcements. Plus all the podcasting you’ve done such as Roast Gooble, It Figured, and Geek Easy were great too for those cons and new toy talk, so thanks again!

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank you for sticking with me all these years!

[@yokaicustoms]

I've been following your reviews of these figures for a long time. When the line began I couldn't afford the figures or the subscription to MattyCollector. I was in my mid 20s and just didn't have the disposable income for them. It's only in the past few years that I've been able to go back and get the figures that mean a lot to me. I appreciate your reviews for being there when I couldn't enjoy the line myself. From one Dan to another: cheers!

[@myinnapeaceministries7545]

It's channels like this that makes me proud to be a Generation X'er! My childhood was AWESOME!

[@HappyBirthdayRoboto]

@Pixel Dan, several years ago I saw one of your videos for the MOTU Classics and not only did it get me back into collecting but it even made me choose my username which as you may have noticed is the title of an episode of the classic cartoon. I’ve not bought all the figures and don’t always make it to conventions but it is through the internet vloggers, most primarily yourself, that I get to vicariously experience fandom. So thank you for over a decade of entertaining videos and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future will bring. :)

[@CaptainStarlight]

Well, it's been a heck of a journey with you, Dan! I do believe I've watched every single one of your MOTUC reviews. Glad you're still doing what you love over a decade later - talking about toys! Looking forward to that amazing book of yours! :D

[@JMan1380]

And what a journey. You were so excited at the announcement of this toy line way back then. I hope to see more MOTUC but if that doesn't happen, we'll have a new chapter of He-Man toys to enjoy. MOTUC forever!

[@Belmont_79]

Damn! This review almost makes me cry! The motu classics line is one of my favorite toy lines and I loved being present every year since the first review, there were good and bad moments but at the end of the day it was an excellent journey! I want to thank you Dan for all the effort, time, dedication and all the work you did to do all these reviews that we all looked forward to month after month to go out every figure for sale in matty collector, I hope some day or at some time you can make a dvd or a collection with all these reviews, I would love to have them in my collection, once again and from the bottom of my heart ... thanks!

[@markdodson8570]

Sad the line is stopping, I wanted a 2000 X series Prince Adam, hopefully they’ll come back someday. Your motu Classics toy ending speech is a speech of all Toy speeches Dan.

[@MarkVersion1]

I love this movie too. More than the cartoon versions

[@CRSHOVRRIDE]

I just finished my blu-ray after your last skeletor vid! Awesome fun movie, guilty pleasure

[@CainNuke]

That figure looks way better than the actual movie. Its a piece of art.

[@systemrevolt7309]

Been collecting from the beginning and watching you for almost as long. Thanks for all the good memories.

[@garymiller6742]

After I saw Masters of the Universe in theaters in 87, I went up, drew up pieces of this suit on paper, colored them gold, and taped them on my Skeletor...It looked really cheap, but, I didn't care...He was flipping cool!!

[@Tasuke]

Long time viewer and subscriber. I wasn't there from the beginning as I discovered you during the PCN days but I made sure to watch these last four MOTUC reviews since that's what you were always known for. I'm not really a He-Man guy (my exposure primarily being from the 2002 cartoon) but your reviews have made me more interested in the franchise. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Outstanding review, as always. Thank you for your amazing coverage of this fantastic line -- and other great lines and items -- over the years. And I'll keep watching for future reviews, of course! Here's hoping someone, be it Mattel or Super7, comes back to MOTUC to continue it someday. But I wouldn't mind a couple of years to let my bank account recuperate, first! ;)

[@Kingcj2001]

Good journey! This line has been a heck of a ride. Sadly, I was never able to purchase any figures due to my lack of income at the time, but seeing the new figures cranked out always left me excited. :D

[@MutatedGuy]

There's 6 remaining Filmation figures not 4. Adam, Stratous, Roboto, Mulluck, Cat girl and Shadow Weaver. Love your classics videos, Dan. Your apart of the motu universe fo sho.

[@mastermarvel8011]

We love you Pixal Dan. Im not gonna lie. The ending of this vid was a bit of a tear jerker for me. Ive been on board with you since day one. And you have really put ur heart in soul into your channel. And it has to be very rewarding. Cant wait to see you review the Snake Mountain when u get it. Until then, i say Good Journey to you my friend....

[@Sirkdinos]

You were a large part in why this lasted so long. I remember tuning into your videos cause i was so on edge hoping the next wave would reach its goal. Such an amazing line.

[@t4washere384]

I was still in school when these reviews started, and this fall I will take a similar journey when the Super7 TMNT figures comes out.

[@Rustyjamesman]

discovered you from your motu classics reviews, crazy to see how far this line has come over the years!

[@jedidm101]

Your passion for this line made me start colecting this toys 11 years ago , thank you for the ride.

[@oldschooltommyim]

Your MOTUC reviews is what started me watching you Dan and I’ve watched almost everything you’ve done since for over 10 years. God bless you and your family I’ve watched form over the years and here’s to the future of you and all the other Masters of the Universe of which you are one.

[@JonBck]

Thank you for a fantastic journey! I've been following almost from the beginning, and it is to a large extent what got me into collecting. Now we're looking forward to future adventures in other toylines!

[@hexmachine8263]

For me is a kid Frank langella really stole the show. I might be biased to cuz skeletor is my favorite character!

[@melkor2301]

KZbin should introduce the multiple like button. The figures of this wave were incredible awesome, the ending of this video was a nostalgic ride for itself and although this toyline ends for now, MotU is more alive than ever before. And look forward to the six (!) final Club Grayskull figures - they are great, even for me as a not big Filmation fan.

[@pedronusprime9280]

Continue with your awesome reviews Dan. I'll be watching and your Portugal's fans as well

[@BigColorfulToyShow]

Thank you, for all this beautifull, informative, awesome and funny review. The Motu Classics line comes to an end but the journery of collecting of Masters of the Universe will go on. The future ist bright for us Motu collectors, there will come several lines like origins, mondos and mega construx... and i hope, we can see many more videos about by pixel dan in the future. I collect the Classics since 2013 and about 85% only because of you "Pixel Dan" Eardley ;-)

[@Super_Dave]

Yes!! I completely agree!! And Thank you Pixel Dan!! Great review. I think I've watched all the MOTU Classics reviews you have done... And I loved them all! 🙌

[@maiktickle7521]

Big thanks Dan for the last 12 years. Your videos are awesome and I am looking forward to your masters origins videos. Greetings from Germany🇩🇪👋👋

[@aaronwarrior]

That Frank langella head sculpt still gives me goosebumps. Keep it awesome, if you are ever in the UK come say hi until then good journey.

[@FNHot]

Totally said "Good Journey" With you man.

[@filmandpage1138]

Super cool figure. I love this toyline, and I'm thankful for the Masters Classics that I have, and we've gotten.

[@CarcharodonMegaload]

I know, twenty-twenty just begun... but this for sure will be the highlight figure of the year!!

[@ultramaximusreviews]

This is the best figure of last releases. I didn't know He-Man kicked you off - that's cool. It was Transformers: Animated Hot Rod for me.

[@alexsorceress8729]

Good journey to you old mate, I love your work and I will continue to hope that Masters of the Universe classics is going to continue someday somehow, lots of love to you and all the motu fans from your number one fan from Serbia. 😀

[@jeffhumphreys9415]

Love your channel. My fav vids are when you go to a con or a vintage toy store, can't get out and do things myself due to health issues so it's a way for me to see all the cool toys out there. Thanks for all the great content.

[@gbfanboog]

You should do a top 10 on the best Master of the Universe figures from this toy line.

[@OzzieAstaroth]

Touching speech there at the end. We can always hope that someday we'll get a return to this line. Anything could happen. Hopefully soon there will be a new movie to make new memories as well as new figures and things. Good journey. :-)

[@greedmachine666]

I'm extremely glad I watched the Dark Despot video and this one, You pointed out a lot of details I never noticed in any of the photos I've ever seen (Skulls and sculpted images all over the robes and tassels) I had been thinking about both and kept delaying due to high prices, Right now I only have the Classics Intergalactic Skeletor, I'm getting The Faceless One this week, But after the Dark Despot video I've decided to go and spend a lot of money on that Classics figure, and quite possibly this one too, (The two tones of gold plus the Amazing and Perfect replication of the head sculpts are Fantastic on both movie versions! !! ) I have A Lot of Vintage figures, vehicles and displays from the 1980s, and some New Adventures of HeMan, Some Origins, and Masterverse, but the Classics seem to have had some of the very best versions of the MOTU characters, Again, very glad you made the videos (I often check multiple figure reviews before buying) But I an now 100% sold on these two, but gotta save up a little, Dark Despot and God Skeletor will cost me near 300 each !!! But Skeletor (and Darth Vader) are my two all time favorite villains of fiction, It's sad Classics ended and are soo expensive online, But the Masterverse figures are doing a pretty good job at making realistic 7 inch figures, Thanks for the various videos I've watched of yours, This may be the first time I've commented ? Have a good day !!!

[@coreyharmon6999]

Great review as always, Dan. Just a side note: You keep saying The last 4 figures from Club Grayskull are in their way...but the good news is, there are 6 figures! I like that Super7 went out with a bang and gave us 2 extra figures for the last wave! Hopefully not the last, but it's a great way to end it if so.

[@djdresden242]

I remember it being one of the first few movies I'd seen in the theatre at that age, and we went to a night show.

[@SPac316]

Oh....so they DID make the gold (God) movie Skeletor. Cool! It would have been nice if they did make the movie versions of Beastman, Evil Lyn, Teela and Man-At-Arms(Duncan). But it's sad that this line may be ending soon. I feel like we had a hell of a journey for over the past ten years. I never collected them but I always enjoyed watching your videos on them.

[@Dr_Yes_]

Pixel Dan you rock dude! 🍻 Your reviews of this whole line have been AWESOME!! ✨

[@chuc98]

This wave of movie figures have been fantastic! Mattel not allowing Super7 to continue to make Classics and Club Grayskull is just obnoxious! Mattel wants to focus on Origins? Okay then focus on Origins and let Super7 focus on this! Both should be able to survive independently. THANK YOU for all the awesome reviews Dan!

[@skullninjaraptor]

Hey Dan, I'm assuming you'll be doing Thundercat Super 7 reviews. Will you be doing the Conan movie figure reviews from them as well? Thanks for al lthe wonderful MOTUC reviews over the years man .

[@dmunozjr9mm]

Awesome review as always dan! hell of a way to end a beautiful ride on these figures, at the end of the video i couldn't help but say, Good Journey!

[@LeifEricson123]

I think that's the first time I watched a whole video of yours...epic. Good journey.

[@craigalexander7303]

“This is what toy collecting is all about.” Absolutely! Loved the video and love this figure. Oh and maybe consider replacing the red dot with a red hot. 😄

[@jeevesosiris]

Thanks for all your reviews all these years Dan. Let's hope we get more of these down the line. I still want my Disco Skeletor and more NA figures.

[@nycbloodymoney23]

great video as always my man. and yes regardless of what people say i enjoyed the movie as a kid and have a deep appreciation for it till this day.

[@MTB214]

That figure is great. I didn’t know it existed until tonight. That movie is awesome. I love it as an adult. It is like Star Wars and Conan the barbarian mixed together.

[@DerekDomino71]

This was a fantastic toy line, no doubt. I collected at the very beginning but had to step away for a few reasons, but I still watched many of your videos, and this line was how I found about your channel so many years ago. I would love to see you do a retrospective look at the history of this line and maybe showcase a few of your favorites, even if Mosquitor is #1 :)

[@TruKriegsaffeNo9]

My only regret was not knowing about MotU Classics when Mosquitor came out, and thus lost my chance at getting Fancy Big Mosquitor at a reasonable price.

[@jeremyburdge8573]

I love this movie Dan at the time it came out my family and i were home less living in a van and mom told our dad to take us to the movies as a fun treat to break up the stress. So this move is special to me and i love these figures but i hope i can get a set some time because i am a collector on a budget and it is hard for me to get figures when they are new i still have not got the 3 mattel made for the classics line

[@CornboneStudios]

I have only been able to get a few motu classics due to my budget, but this one I wanted as soon as I saw the movie. Let this be the last one I buy! Thanks for your reviews Dan. My favorite of all of them is Tuskor!

[@surewin1773]

I loved this movie as a kid. Langella made me love being the bad guy lol

[@autumnfall1511]

Thanks for all your Classics vids! A BIG help!

[@nicholas920us]

As stupid as the movie was, the character design was amazing

[@superjoe7]

I cried a little....

[@drawingbyhand]

god live skeletor. cant wait to get this figure in hand. wait to get this though the post. great review dan.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

It is a great toy line .I started collecting it after I started watching your reviews

[@adiesdownhilling3265]

i loved the move im so happy the toy line came out for the move iv just started collecting these figures iv nearly got the all the old classic range i think my movie range will sit separate from the rest

[@xeppozanfilms]

Thank you for all you do Pixel Dan

[@TheVileOne]

Let this be our final battle!

[@kieranshea6428]

Great video, Dan! But even though it seems this may be the last time you do a Classics video, I suspect you’ll get another crack at it in the future. They need to round out the Stout collection. 😊

[@samnewsman]

👏👏👏 Well Done... your closing remarks were sincere and the reason why you have had and will continue to have success as the “Official Voice of Toy Reviews” #ComparisonTime 😉👍

[@somarriba333]

I think you should do a video about the ups and downs of the MOTU Classics. Do you have EVERY Classics and Filmation figure?

[@tonygriego6382]

Epic new figures from Super7

[@dorionwashington7460]

I totally get and understand where your gushing is coming from and theres nothing wrong with that at all😎 I feel the same way about the Real Ghostbusters and cant wait to see what Hasbro has up their sleeve next month at the Toyfair reveals! I know your going to give that always A1 upclose look at everything the show has to offer and I truly appreciate that keep up the Dope work it surely will continue to payoff👍👍

[@JediJunkie247]

As a kid seeing the ads for the movie, I always thought this was supposed to be Hordak. This was before I actually saw the movie afterward.

[@pious83]

Great Review as always, Dan. As for the future of He-Man... I'm hoping Noah Centineo is 'Prince Adam', and we get some Shazam-like dual actor role for He-Man himself. Oh well, maybe through Mattel's Origins, I'll finally get the new Disks of Doom Skeletor I've been waiting so long for. His most visually interesting animated design, at least.

[@sgtdh6892]

I don’t know if Mega Construx MOTU line is still a thing or if the company still exists (can’t find any of their toys, any where) but I would love if they did these movie toys as well!

[@BrickIntyre]

The '87 movie gets a bum rap. Was it perfect, no. But it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be either. The casting was fantastic, for the most part, and Frank Langella as Skeletor was an inspired choice! His lines, oh my gosh, his lines! "Tell me about the loneliness of good, He-Man. Does it compare to the loneliness of evil?" The relationship between Skeletor and Evil-Lyn, the addition of Blade to the Evil Warriors -- "I've waited a long time for this!" -- Man-at-Arms as the grizzled veteran. Honestly my only regret of the movie was that it fell into the 80s trope of bringing this other-worldly story to Earth. And I know it was cost, it was cheaper to build a few sets for Grayskull and Eternia and then bring the only thing to Earth where they could use locations. But still...I would have loved if they kept the whole movie on Eternia.
