Masters of the Universe Classics Talon Fighter & Point Dread Video Review

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

I had gotten the original as a child in 83. I got it as a Christmas gift. The original toy came with a book and record set with two stories. The point dread piece set up with Castle Greyskull. The "Talon Fighter Teela" has that Betty Boop makeup going on there.

[@BrianVonDoom]

Just to say Dan- I really like the way you can review things, point out a whole load of problems, but at the same time not come across as negative, just constructive. If more of the internet could be like you it'd be a much happier place :)

[@sdaeley17]

Completely agree. He's incredibly diplomatic and professional about it. No wonder toy companies keep sending him things!

[@tonyjackson7610]

the original Talon fighter was a two seater.

[@adamatsya]

Hey dan - kudos on such a comprehensive review. So much to cover and you did it all in detail. So impressed that you're pushing on with your immense review schedule in the face of being a new dad and all. Kudos to you my friend, and 'Stina and little Spencer too!

[@ebneigh5191]

Another excellent video PD! Seeing the massive Talon Fighter atop the massive Grayskull warms my heart - did any of us ever think we would see the like?! Great stuff!

[@ProBreakers]

I had this and the castle back in the day, coolest toys. I loved that ship.

[@rolent23]

Awesome reviews as usual Dan! Your going to make me buy my own Castle Grayskull soon!

[@JulioGomezNYC]

The Original Vehicle seats Two as well!!!

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

I had the original. Loved connecting ability to the castle. It really brought that technological perspective to He-Man for me. Barbarians with aviation… SO COOL. Note: auto interior pry bars. Those are perfect for stubborn clips.

[@brucelaborin2124]

I just viewed this video for the second time and realized that I never left a thumbs up. Sorry, I just rectified that. Great video, and as always your honesty and constructive criticism is part of what makes your channel a joy to watch, as well as your second MOTU childhood enthusiasm. I myself can identify because I had quite a few of the toys in the 80's, and am reliving my second childhood with this figure line by getting all the stuff I had wanted and couldn't have then.

[@DarrenWatson64]

Such a shame that the included Teela figure looks terrible. I was looking forward to that figure and it turns out disappointing... But the Talon Fighter does look incredible!

[@theblocksays]

+DarrenWatson64 Yeah, I'm torn for the same reason, but still my wallet will be relieved it's not part of the sub (but sadly I bet those He-Man Skele two packs will be, and I don't really want either of them TBH). I do love that Talon Fighter though, but yeah Teela really got gimped on the sculpt and paint apps here, not to mention I noticed her arms don't have updated bicep swivel from the elbow like the later female bucks do (like Catra, that I can tell anyway) :-(

[@GASH_one]

That little door on the Point Dread base looks out of place too. Even a Mega Bloks figure wouldn't fit through it.

[@willthecollector3213]

Great review PD. Talon fighter looks amazing and I can't wait to add it to my collection.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

I finally was able to get this set. AMAZING! I was surprised at how big the box was! I actually like the Teela. It has more of a Filmation look to it. MOTUC has to go down in history as one of the BEST TOY LINES EVER! Again, great review!

[@MyNameGoesRightHere]

This review is absolutely spot on in my opinion. I totally agree with everything you've said: amazing vehicle which is goofy looking on top of the castle, and shamefully awful Teela figure. Excellent job and very, very well explained, Dan. Thanks a lot for your time!

[@Thunderwing88]

Teela snuck into the b-roll at 0:42.

[@josephbrowning2968]

+Thunderwing88 She's all subliminal.

[@boclarke6853]

Great review Dan! Very pleased that you told it like it was regarding Teela...honestly...I never really liked the Talon Fighter as a kid so she was the main reason I would have purchased the set... the vehicle did turn out beautifully though

[@sgf129]

I do love large playsets and vehicles so this is a maybe for me, really enjoyed your review dan. how do you get these so early?

[@ruezgatoys]

Great video, in my childhood I had the version made in Mexico by aurimat, here it is called ave de combate y puesto vigia. Excellent memories, thanks for sharing and the new figures an vehicules are great. Regards from Guadalajara, Mexico

[@shawnzodakhisstank3164]

I love my talon fighter, and yeah I was very upset with how teela turned out, but I bought it for the vehicle.. and to be able to attach it to the castle

[@gregg9672]

I laughed so hard with this review. Something went wrong alright. That face. LMAO.

[@tycondrius23]

wow teela took a shovel to the face on both counts lol ! man that talon fighter is massive ! was thinking of getting one as I love that FFM talon pilot dude but the space to store somthing that big !

[@zombietoycollector4597]

Hey great review! But what’s the height is the talon fighter attached to castle Greyskull?

[@tyhall6979]

Pixel Dan got a decent Teela figure from the others I have seen revealed. The helmeted one has derp eye, but the tiara one doesn't look too frightful. She can probably be improved by repainting the lips...I will try that once I get mine in hand.

[@joegoesretro]

While I don't collect the toy line, I still think they're awesome and I love seeing your videos. I'd love to see an Attak Trak vehicle. Based on the toy, not the cartoon, of course!

[@80sTransfromersFan]

I never opened my Teela so I'm happy to be getting one I can play/display even if her face is less than perfect and I can wait for Point Dread!

[@VickJoy]

"and the funkiness continues...." Great line Dan! Had me crying laughing! Her face is busted.

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

the vintage one also can fit 2 figures. great review as always Dan!

[@Breboi17]

Hello Dan, Thanks for sharing this review of the Talon Figher and Point Dread. I was considering getting this item b/c of the Teela figure but with the sculpt and design of the Teela I will pass on purchasing this item until they update the Teela look. Thanks for Sharing :)

[@edstar83]

Yeah I think I'll be displaying mine on the point dread base too.

[@Pegwarmers]

Thanks Dan!

[@troymay7362]

Teela 2.0 should have a "paper bag head" as alternate head. What a bow wow. Nice review of the cool vehicle though, duder. Didn't know it would fit two figures inside!!

[@Jellofreeze]

To bad it doesn't come with the audio CD story book

[@shawnzodakhisstank3164]

Yeah I though it was big too the first time I put it on the castle, but It's not a big issue for me so I kept mine on top the castle...

[@BruceWayne-dz4fe]

This makes me wish that Hasbro would do six inch scale vehicles for Marvel Legends.

[@trapjaw7253]

What particular vehicles do you want ?

[@Flassh81]

@@trapjaw7253 Spider-Buggy. Jk

[@spunktasticjismmonkey8569]

Damn, Teela's been at the Botox.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

+Spunktastic JismMonkey Time even managed to catch up with Teela dude. So sad.

[@thespaceram2879]

Botox scary

[@GrimmysReviews]

wow, hey how does the older Teela's head look on the new Teela body? Would it be a bad idea to split the older ones 2 heads between the bodies?

[@WhoFan80]

Dan includes a shot of that at the 19:31 mark.

[@GrimmysReviews]

ahh didnt see it, not bad if by some miracal i can get this, id have to conisider just keeping the fimation heads in storage

[@mrxyz2k]

I believe they should made extra base separate and a way to use a handle that can removed.

[@Anthonyvongeek]

Hey Dan can you fit the snake armor on that Teelas body?

[@briantrapp4761]

When do the filmation figure release?

[@backtoys]

thanks Dan.

[@gastonecheverry8437]

Hey Dan, do know the Point Dread's package dimension (L, W, H)?

[@Qc4073]

When does this come out?

[@timewarped2the80s]

Forgot to do a comparison of the vintage talon fighter up against the new talon fighter

[@gastonecheverry8437]

Have you the box dimension?

[@seanahmed9079]

Hey Dan....what do you do for a living to be able to afford all this stuff? I thought about getting into Star Wars toys, but man they are expensive

[@LiamTheGreat]

That Teela is a mess. Even as a Filmation figure, it looks like a poor attempt to capture the cartoon likeness. I bet all the scalpers, who thought they could break up the set and sell Teela for a fortune, like the classics one, will be in for a shock.

[@pokeroot2876]

False

[@mrxyz2k]

How could any of MOTU characters pass this window to reach the so small stair steps. Both need to be enlarged too much.

[@shawnzodakhisstank3164]

I have my talon fighter on the Castle, but I did see the weirdness that your pointing out, It makes the Castle look small.. It def takes over when It's on top the castle. I also never had the chance to see this review after I picked up my talon fighter not sure why since I open all my stuff to you video reviews. But yeah the teela is just down right horrible, especially when you compared it to the OG. I don't know what mine looks like yet cause I've never looked at her up close. I did buy an extra pilot head cause I wanted to make a female palace guard with it but still haven't gotten an adora figure to make one yet. I'm not that custom type person, I haven't done any customs at all since this line started, I'm the kinda guy who will wait and see what we don't get and wait for the line to end before I start doing that kinda stuff. I do have to check them out though and see what mine look like and also the way the eyes on your vultak looked, they were so bad.. I'm also going to have to check mine out as well..

[@NINETEEN8T0YS]

When looking at the back of the Talon fighter, 4 of the red paint mask apps on the right side are miss-aligned. What a shame.

[@arlenburgin2392]

You could fit 2 figures in the original. Does it come with a record?

[@armabot]

The original Talon Fighter featured two seats, also. Besides that, gret review!

[@armabot]

Anyway, in fact this Classic Talon Fighter canopy is noticeable bigger.

[@mrxyz2k]

I see that Tella’s legs get longer in expense of other body parts, which get shorter.

[@TOYMASTERFUL]

I love this...SOLDDD!!!!

[@andreomer7460]

I love the figure!!!!

[@oneminutefixed5003]

Dam, everyone's do buff in eternia

[@eternodiego1018]

Hi guys!. How much is it?.

[@Mr.Kalelo]

Filmation Teela? Dr. 90210 Teela!

[@BranchingTangents]

You're exactly right about me passing on this because of that new Teela alone, Dan. That was the whole selling point for me. Shame.

[@TrevorToonArt]

So glad you didn't hold back on the Teela figure.

[@Iamnotspecialandneitherareyou]

Thanks Dan. I was on the fence about this, but after seeing a close up of the figure I am gonna pass. The wallet thanks you too. Great review.

[@katmaresparkles9578]

You could always get 2 of them and have one as point dread and the other one as part of castle grayskull

[@sunnyfrisch]

The original Talon Fighter had also been a two seater. At least afaik it had room for two figures.

[@tgonzalez1983]

Another great review Dan.. Glad i got to see someone holding it to make the judgement on a purchase.. I feel like vehicle is way too big.. It looks out of place on the castle.. Even though the vintage one did, back then it was acceptable.. Teela omg why?! My 1st cartoon crush as a child and when they finally release a filmation style representation of her, its messed up.. Its not the worst but it should have been way better than that.. Why throw some painted plastic on top of the buck instead of sculpting her the way she looks in the series? Not going after this one due to the jet being way too large and Teela looking like a cheap quick build.. I understand them trying to save money on character models but paying that much for a set should be worth it.. Again great review! Im just bumed out about this set i was really looking forward to owning for my collection and setting up with the future filmation style figures being released..

[@PatriotaAR15]

Awesome

[@mtbfonseca3367]

I am kind of glad Teela turn out so bad so I can wait until Mattel put this set on sale. I never saw the vintage set, but seems goofy enough to make justice After all , with power-con items and sdcc exclusives is been a steep hill moneywise. I agree that the original motuc Teela is the most beautiful figure and my personal favorite.

[@ScyllaWyrm]

At least the helmeted Teela head has a chin. I don't mind the googly eyes. Small imperfections like that make it more interesting.

[@Sal.Manila]

There are two things missing from this set, and they’re kind of major. I’m talking about the 10” vinyl record w/accompanying storybook! Let’s be honest with ourselves here: to hell w/the Filmation-style Teela. Instead, imagine if those OTHER original items had been reproduced. It would’ve been the ULTIMATE throwback!

[@stradlemonkey444]

The main blue gun on the left side on yours is drooping bad. other side looks fine. I exclaimed out loud "her left eye's 'wonkey' " one second be for you said it. I have the Power!

[@brycegibel7460]

I got the teela with my set and my paint job isn't that bad its not the best but not bad

[@jvoz6138]

Great review dan! I love the idea of filmation figures, but this teela was a bust!

[@CesTorLop]

Either Teela's Upper torso is too short, or her legs are too long. Either way, it makes her arms look too long. Do you remember the 7 inch Vinyl record and comic book that came with the vehicle back in the 80's? I look it up in KZbin. Pure Nostalgia!

[@pious83]

The size of the Talon fighter and the prototype of Snake Mountain makes me doubt any of the New Adventures vehicles will be part of the line. Especially Starship Eternia...

[@rodster6campingprepper]

+pious83 I'd love an NA Shuttle Pod and Astrosub.

[@pious83]

rodster6 Although I'd love it, I'm thinking the Space Mutant Mothership is a little too farfetched of a dream to hold out for. Then again I am doubtful Starship Eternia will make it into this line, so late into it.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

pious83 Moon Nordor was a fave of mine too. At this rate I'm not even sure we'll get all the NA figures though let alone vehicles.

[@burninghammer83]

Christmas!

[@giggabyt78]

you can fit 2 figurs in the old one too

[@painenathan]

Teela's had a bad face-lift by the looks of it Pixel Dan

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

+Nathan Paine Went to Michael Jackson's doctor I suppose.

[@frequincyrecording4286]

I would have easily preferred the vintage book and record over Tela in this set.

[@MrColuber]

It makes a nice display, but will kids love playing with these toys?

[@Magicofamazer]

I did originally hear that Teela was supposed to be Filmation style. IF that's what is happening. I will not purchase a single Filmation character.

[@OldBoyPhilosopher]

plastic surgery gone wrong at this teela

i maybe in the minority but i think the figure looks ok,i would wish we can get the figure by itself. i really don't want to buy a huge vehicle,that i don't have room for just to finally get a teela.

[@cheeno84]

She looks like Man at Arms beat the crap out of her, for giving him attitude!! Lesson here, always obey your parents, specially when he's got a cannon for an arm!!! xD

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

+RICARDO .A CABRERA They will probably put that at an end of an episode as sorta the "moral of the story".

[@cheeno84]

+DuckTalesWooHoo1987 Lol!!

[@dubuyajay9964]

Teela looks like Evel Lyn on steroids. X_x

[@grahammacdonald3200]

Man, I was so excited to get this Teela but my God!? Her face looks like a bag of smashed potatoes! Horrible. Not sure what happened either. I'm in agreement on the vehicle. It's above and beyond exceptional. My returning gripe though is still not having any villain vehicles. When are we going to see a Land Shark or a Spydor? Great review as always!

[@paluxyl.8682]

Teela's face looks to me just a little strange I would give it a 7/10 (pilot head 4/10 even if the eyes would be not so wonky) ... but her body is really bad it get from me only 4/10 .

[@TheGobberShop]

Hmmm i like the bulkiness.

[@starraccooncosplay4708]

just pretend she crashed the Talon Fighter and ended up a bit dazed lol

[@Raines-m1m]

I got one for 20 bucks

[@etb3rd]

her left forearm is weird looking. like she got two right forearms

[@RafeeeeS]

+esteban torres Left forearm is actually okay - I think it had been rotated that way - have a look at the 2.20 mark - it looks fine :)

[@peucoman]

you forgot to mention in the artwork the existance of Tri-Klops and Mer-Man, are they really *THAT* forgettable!?

[@ricardomachado6792]

Bottox kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@war_1104]

Tesla looks like she has no abdomen to me like her whole torso is squat

[@jevonphillips6633]

look at teelas face and then look at what company made it. replace that hair with long blonde hair and bam vintage barbie!!!

[@KiraLiu]

my god! this teela is so ugly !! but i like that sword.

[@manic67kmo]

what is that like 600 bucks for the castle and the fighter shipped. They days of old has turned into a rich mans hobby.

[@ajbartley3432]

Ok...sorry but the Vintage has two seats too, always has always will. *facepalm*

[@weetatang7466]

I won't buy this because of the ugly teela, wait for next year version 2.0.

[@paluxyl.8682]

+Wee Tat Ang Isn't this the 2.0 version ???

[@weetatang7466]

At first they say yes, later they say will release another one.

[@TOYMASTERFUL]

Cant' even get this at a reasonable price...it's ridiculous how they sold out on Matty. Worst website ever...but yet they have them instock later in the year again.

[@shawnzodakhisstank3164]

All the original classics figure were better than the new filmation and ultimates that's just the bottom line...

[@Tsunade11]

teela is awful, i actually went and hugged my original Teela. thank god i didnt get this.
