[@AintNobodyAtAll]

I can't believe it's been nearly six years already. I'm at the point where I'm nostalgic for Pixel Dan reviews....

[@ShaunStephens777]

Out of all the different versions of he-man, snake armour he-man is my absolute favourite. I must buy them.

[@cybersaur7394]

I still haven't gotten over that classics was ending. It has definitely been one of my favorite lines.

[@MadDemon64]

I think I prefer the new King Hiss. The old/original one just looks too...well... He looks like someone who would be more at home in the first TMNT or GI Joe cartoons than He-Man.

[@gothamcity29]

I agree and he looks way too human. I would think that King Hsss should look more like a snake or at least a humanoid with obvious snake features.

[@devinroebuck2311]

agreed.

[@WF.figures]

King Hssss is supposed to look heroic when he is in his disguised form.

[@nwobw]

@@WF.figures Except that gimmick was only used on the vintage card back and the initial mini-comic and then completely dropped because it was a stupid even in the 80s.

[@HAGZ0483]

Was waiting for a pic of 200X He-man riding battlecat with the battle lion armor, great review

[@Charlou27]

I loved the 200X versions. This is my favorite version / variant of He-Man and I like this King Hssss way better than the original. I realize the original toy was supposed to make him look heroic and then "Surprise!! I am an evil snake monster thing!!" I definitely like the evil lord look of 200X. I wish He-man came with his snake shield like they had in the cartoon. Oh well. Can't win them all. Years ago someone made that shield. I still have it somewhere. maybe it will fit.

[@Gothiczartan]

It would be great to see 200X Prince Adam get a MOTU Classic action figure form as well as Teela. I notice 200X King Hsss doesn't come with a snake formed torso, Maybe someday it would be nice to see King Hsss again in a single package this time with the snakes torso or maybe if they can make the accessories to be on separate packages.

[@Graytoke]

I love this Snake Armor He-Man, my only wish is to one day get the full open power sword as seen on the back in the bio for him...maybe in a weapon pack along with the missing snake body? They can make it out of a green translucent plastic and paint on the outer sword colors.

[@icedr200]

Just got my two pack in the mail, along with Ninjor. I love em. Thank you, Dan. You really introduced me to this series and I am so happy you did.

[@Reach008]

I NEED That Snake Armor He Man. He looks s damn great and I finally need a 200x Heman

[@AshuroS]

I'm a bit disappointed that He-man didn't come with a "opened" version of the power sword.

[@Pixel-dan]

AshuroS I hated that the power sword opened up like that, heh. But I can see how that would be an nice addition for this particular variant.

[@OzzieAstaroth]

I kinda wish they sold these two separately, because I've never been a fan of King Hiss in general. My preferred baddies have always been Skeletor and Hordak. I do really want the Snake Armor He-Man though. He looks fantastic.

[@devastated_studios]

I like the comparison shot between the original Hsss and the 200x version (Pharoh Hsss). It clearly shows that the first Hsss' arms were too short for his body.

[@battlearmorhe-man2343]

Great review Dan! I received this set today. These two figures are FANTASTIC! So you have every right to geek out over them, because I do.

[@galmorzu]

February was an incredible month for MOTUC. In my opinion, NInjor (ahem, Ninja Warrior) and this two pack are some of the very best looking figures in the entire line. I also preferred the Vintage Hiss look, but man, this one is now just as cool in my opinion. I love how wicked he looks. And SA He-man is fantastic. This month knocked it out of the park.

[@DarkLiger]

This is the He-man Variant I've wanted since I first sighed up for Club Eternia back in 2011.(Your videos did play a large role in my decision to sign up Dan.)

[@RikuKiforForsstrom]

Loving this so-called last year of classics. Lizard Man, Ninjor and now this 2-pack! All figures I´ve always wanted, so glad I subbed!

[@80sTransfromersFan]

I thought the 2000X toy line was garbage but this look fused with the classics is truly amazing! I can't wait to get mine!

[@Pixel-dan]

It was brought up to me that I failed to show King Hsss' shield...which led me to go back and check and realize that my pack was MISSING this shield! There's an empty slot in the box where it should be. Yikes! What a bummer! Sorry I didn't catch this sooner, but hopefully it's just a weird problem with mine and all of the final sets that get shipped will include the shield for Hsss.

[@raquelcharles1779]

+PixelDan Eardley (The Pixel Dan Channel) I guess something like thgat would happen eventually. You do have a big toy collection, lol. Did mattel send you a replacement ?

[@napoartiga2436]

Dan how many figures from he man 200x have been release? I mean in in this format motuc

[@jonathanemerling1071]

Good gravy, 2015 is turning out to be a fantastic year!

[@TaliaIGhul]

You know, if you somehow rework that King Hiss head a bit, you can make a TMNT MOTUC Shredder Head.

[@ScinLaeca358]

That logo with the snake and the sword piercing it - very Cagliostro, if you know what I mean.

[@XFactorz17]

Really looking forward to these guys, definitely some of the best this line has to offer!

[@supernerd5781]

I wish that they'd make either a movie He-man or a red armour He-man (From the comics)

[@supernerd5781]

@T C Yup unfortunately I wasn't able to get him.

[@neilmckay2993]

The only MOTUC figures I own are He-Man and King Hsss. Love them. They were really the only MOTUC figures I really wanted. These look really cool, and if I can, I might try to pick them up. Nothing against Skeletor or Hordak, but I just always preferred Hsss as a villain.

[@WF.figures]

Get Skeletor and Hordak, and you have the big 4.

[@raquelcharles1779]

+Neil McKay you owned the vintage king hiss, is that why?

[@jrimme]

I'm totally on board with this. They look fantastic.

[@Orion124]

Awesome review Dan, as always. This set was my most anticipated part of 2015 (thus far) and I can't wait to get them in hand!

[@randallpeoples9024]

How well does he sit atop Battlecat or Battlelion. Really like to swap heads with King Grayskull to recreate that first appearance of King grayskull and Battle Lion in Adam dream.

[@Norrbottning]

10:53 "It doesn't look as cool as the one we're going to get eventually" Correct. It looks cooler

[@Rustyjamesman]

so getting this! Snake armor he man has always been my favorite!

[@justinmohan7103]

This version of King Hiss doesn't go with the other Snake Men because the Snake Men are so much bigger in the 200x cartoon.

[@max_payne95]

Damn! I miss my childhood so much

[@toroman8677]

We need more of these figures!!!!!! Love 'em!!

[@serghini11]

I wonder how good these figures are when it comes to play? I know it's for adult collectors and such but I really want the Snake Armor He-Man figure. I know I will play with him for a bit so I was just wondering if he is safe to play with?

[@godhearsmysoul]

It depends on what you mean by play. They'll get banged up pretty thoroughly if you go full on smacking toys together like when you were a kid, but otherwise they're quite durable. I know some people do buy them to share with their kids. They do perfectly fine with a lot of posing. If you're worried that they're made from stiff, brittle plastic, don't be. They're definitely made to be toys over being delicate display pieces.

[@serghini11]

Alrighty. thanks for answering my question. I wouldn't play with them like a litte kid. i would more like use them for stopmotions and posing. I found He-Man seperately on ebay for a good price on ebay. :) but thanks again for answering my question.

[@theblocksays]

You sure he (200X Hiss) even DOES come with a shield? Those gauntlets of his don't look like a shield would clip on very well. Also, can you mix and match both vintage and 200X Hiss torsos? Would have liked seeing that experiment. But wow those look amazing! Especially Snake Armor He-Man, not to mention he doesn't look like he'd keep falling over like most 200X figures.

[@pious83]

Hey Dan, I was just wondering as I recently read an article on it, if you own the (legendary) Eternia Playset? And/or if Mattel are considering a new version for the end of the Classics Line?

[@Norrbottning]

Mattel's concept back in the day was that simplicity is the key to success. This is not simplicity. This is busy, like the entire 200X line

[@raquelcharles1779]

+Paulie Exactly, Yeah i find they don't gel well together...the busy style and the simple style.

[@elmstreetslasher9780]

***** OMG I been waiting and waiting for this version I need to get him! And as always awesome review!...If your ever in the Houston TX area I want you to sign my figures:)

[@JohnnyREB1977]

Great review. I've never been a huge fan of the "surfer" He-Man look that came about in the 200x series, but that sculpt is awesome. But, now I'm wondering how the body would look with King Grayskull's head on it. King Hsss looks great, too. I may actually have to get this two-pack

[@davem348]

Is it just my set, or was anybody else's King HSSSS hand closed too much to be able to grasp the snake staff?

[@tomjing6831]

The final masterpiece, Mattel's sincerity！

[@TurrenciO]

Hi Dan, its possible remove the legs of this king hss and put other of king hss classic? Thanks for your work🙌🏻🗡

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Yes.

[@SuperGayMan1000]

I miss this intro to all your videos.

[@oshontheexperience6440]

Pixle Dan do you think Mattel will release a sub featuring action figures from the on going MOTU comic book? Would you be interested in that?

[@jonathanpacker2916]

Would of been nice to see what 200X He-man looked liked on Battle Cat.

[@jamesquinn424]

great review ! they look awesome so want my own

[@masterfarr8265]

why didn't we get this head and sword with the Ultimates He Man?

[@DoraKage]

There's been some recent controversy over the new Snake torso being sold separately - is this issue still unresolved?

[@kaylemathewcomendador7614]

They released it already.

[@JurassicRod]

even though I prefer the vintage King Hiss human form, this one looks great! Can't wait to get Snake Armour He-man too.

[@smallvillefan72]

Just ordered mine from matttycollector! My favorite version of He-Man ever!

[@jasondeveau4887]

What happened to the shield He Man was shown as having in the reveals last summer?

[@JubileumTv]

If he man need one sure armor against snake bite? I think he need cover the other arm?

[@edmendo]

I've been waiting for this He-man,looks Fantastic!! XD

[@drakozero8]

Dude where can I buy this 2 pack pls help a noon out and lead me to the proper pls to get this I have never brought a motu classics figure but this one is sick

[@mostafafarweez3161]

This is 1 of ur BEST video reviews, I enjoyed this 1 A LOT :)

[@sleeplessknight99]

These guys are awesome! I'm totally buying the shit out of these figures.

[@acezanders1715]

@pixeldan is all of the stories and lore from the bios in any reading form or video ? really interested in the story@pixeldan is

[@dominadorlat1489]

The he man looks cool

[@michaelsaechao5403]

Awesome review!! You think they'll be a 200X skeletor along with Heman?

[@thelonebricker662]

Hey Dan (or anybody else that knows), what is He-Man 2000X? I have never heard that term.

[@oshontheexperience6440]

200X refers to the He-Man & TMOTU cartoon that aired on cartoon network back in 2002/2003

[@thelonebricker662]

Oshon The Experience Thanks. I had never heard it called that.

[@Pegwarmers]

I really wish I could get an extra 200x He-Man head without buying a second pack. I've a home made 200x He-Man and Battle Cat made from mixing and matching parts previously released only missing that head. But if I give him that head then Snake Armor He-Man will look weird. #nerdproblems

[@Super1866]

That King Hsss looks like Jafar.

[@alback]

Didn't the sword come with man at arms? Because I got it with him

[@Pixel-dan]

alback The silver one did, right? And the green/gray one came with the Weapons Pak. Hard to keep all of the crazy accessory pack ins straight at this point.

[@eliotbenitez8362]

Great review, Dan.

[@joeleustice]

Any word on what the Toy Guru is up to?

[@jboypacman]

Pretty dang cool!

[@TheGobberShop]

Why is it so hard to find these online? Whats a good way to find these as they come out with out subscribing cause i only buy about two or three a year.

[@godhearsmysoul]

Most are available on mattycollector.com around the middle of each month. With the shipping they charge from the site, a single figure comes out to 37-40ish dollars.. Because of this, if you look on eBay, sometimes toys aren't quite as marked up as they might seem initially. BigBadToyStore.com also gets them in as they are released, but you'll definitely end up paying a bit more. They seem to have all of the newest figures in stock right now.

[@joystickgummyfox]

I hope we get a 200x skeletor

[@STRYDENT]

About how much will this go for?

[@klvAcosta]

$55+ $50 shipping and taxes... Lol seriously just $55 + shipping and taxes.

[@STRYDENT]

Kelvee Acosta thanks my ninja!

[@STRYDENT]

Jestermon1 Exactly! I was pissed when I was set to get Doomsday and the grand total went from 50 to almost 70. I was like Matty can kiss my whole ass! Lol!

[@ajdawgfan]

Can you tweet out a pic of battle lion w/ your 200x version of he-man

[@danishfarooq8662]

How can I buy these in today’s era .. no one is willing to sell nor its anywhere online .. please let me know if anyone knows about it or willing to sell one ☝️ Thanks in advance..

[@lorddiosliving]

how much these figures cost??

[@davidrobinson4382]

great vid m8

[@ErndawormsGamingAndToys]

Awesome figures, awesomer review lol :)

[@NitroCigarette]

Really not a fan of 2X's He-Man's head.

[@WF.figures]

Cillian Murphy as He-Man? No, thanks.

[@singingcowboy674]

Me no like spikey hair he-man

[@drakozero8]

Soooo let me get this straight Mattel got rid of dcuc.. And now there ending Motuc?? Wt heck !? Dude what good is Mattel then? Screw ur Monster high b$ and bring some quality figures back to retail! What ever hope that company burns away and Hasbro gets the rights to HE-MAN!!!

[@raquelcharles1779]

+Angel Torres The he-man subscription line lasted a lot, lot, lot longer than people expected. It had to end eventually, lol. The dc line however was retail for a while, but just didn't sell well enough to remain around.

[@drakozero8]

Raquel Charles ya the reason I feel the dc line at retail didn't sell well is because the figures always stayed the same no improvement's always the same body pretty much see hasbro learned in order to sell figures they need to continue to improve their figures make they better with new scalp's and paint apps.

[@raquelcharles1779]

Angel Torres Yeah but I was talking about your original comment, it sounded like you meant to say mattel was giving up on both dc/he-man on purpose. I think mattel would want both the lines to go on forever, but...dc didn't sell well enough, so it had to end, it's not like they wanted to end it. And He-man lasted quite a long time, but everything ends at some point.
