Masters of the Universe Origins He-Man & Prince Adam SDCC Exclusive Figures Review

[@khunt1947]

Man! I miss being a kid. The 70s an 80s had the best toys lines.

[@MassHystarix]

And 90s

[@garymichael6899]

but not the 90s heman toyline...

[@TheDolfanar]

Am I the only collector fed up with SDCC exclusives?

[@Emolga6274]

Yep

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Nope. Mattel used to be so good at getting the exclusives out to fans after the conventions, but they've back-slid something horrible as of late.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I wouldn't mind exclusives If I could get my hands on them but unfortunately I can't, it's impossible for me to get them unless I buy a plain ticket from Portugal to USA and that would make the exclusives a bit to much for my wallet.

[@bravo1701]

I’m with you. The whole you have to be there to get it is dumb AF.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

​@@brenoferreiraferreira4409 Oh, I understand completely, mate! For the last 18 years, I was living in England. Even though I'm now in the USA, SDCC is still several thousand miles away from where I live. Even if you're IN the country that gets all the exclusives, it's STILL too expensive and inconvenient to try to get them!

[@johnthwaites5976]

Would love a Princess Adora / She-ra box set in this style Xx

[@Pixel-dan]

I'd be down for that!

[@mitchfletcher2386]

@@Pixel-dan As would I!!

[@noahhenson1669]

I've been lucky enough to get this exclusive via ebay, but it cost about $200! I feel like it was worth it, though, with the interchangeable heads and hands, the "combined" power sword (rather than just the gray half that combines with the purple half), and the comic book which recapitulates He-Man's origin story using Prince Adam instead of the Conan-like barbarian introduced in the first mini-comic. It's really a delight and looks fantastic on display. Thanks for another excellent video!

[@smallvillefan72]

Thank God Mattel is doing this line again! Best packaging I’ve ever seen! Such a great tribute!

[@TheIndoNerd]

For real lol

[@smallvillefan72]

joe lamb Mattel out of business? Are you drunk?

[@sirbutternugget4719]

I’m really hoping that we get a new MOTU cartoon eventually

[@Emolga6274]

It will fail miserably . Only a handful of adults will watch it . Kids these days don’t watch cartoons . Jus KZbin video game play

[@megasystem8473]

sonic hadoken kids watch cartoons still you are overreacting.

[@Emolga6274]

Megasystem ! Did u forget 200x he-man failed ? Then they tried thindercat remake . Failed. Kids these days aren’t the same as 80s kids . They probably loook at a motu cartoon and say “this is gay”

[@connormetcalf7049]

Yeah I Hope They Continue The 200x Cartoon But This Time Around Its Bloody And Egdey!

[@Pixel-dan]

I'd love a new cartoon. I really feel animation is the right way to go with this brand. But I think they are fully focused on making that lice action movie happen.

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Loved the Real American pose down.

[@BayRidah26]

Looks pretty fun. If they go forward with a full toy line , it would be cool if later figures have head/ball joints match up to Classics

[@Pixel-dan]

I think that's a no-brainier! I really hope Mattel does that going forward.

[@salamurai]

popoff waist would mean (potentially) RamMan with "normal" legs and Spring legs. And a new Modulok.

Absolutely amazing! Mattel knocked this out of the park!! This is the love I’ve been waiting to see from Mattel towards MOTU!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this become a full line!

[@gen2ex]

Loved the flexing montage with the "I'm a real America" Hulk Hogan song.

[@Rodimus75]

From what I have been able to research online, the character of Prince Adam (along with his parents King Randor and Queen Marlena) debuted in DC Comics Presents #47, which saw the Pre-Crisis version of Superman crossover from Earth to Eternia. Any toy pack-in mini-comics that featured this version came after the release of the DC comic, followed by the juggernaut revamp that was the FILMATION cartoon !

[@ToonJukka]

Yeah. The blue-vested Prince Adam debuted in DC Comics Presents #47. Though his look with blue shirt is different. This version seen here in packaging though came in DC Comics Mini-Series '82. Filmation was '83 and the minicomics that have for example Prince Adam in "Masks of Power" is '84 wave. :)

[@TheIronhide4ever]

I've had my complaints about Mattel's toys and their execution, but damn, they have always knocked it out of the park with the SDCC packaging. This is phenomenal.

[@themarktron]

Wooww!!!! This is amazing Dan!! I can't believe it. This is the first time we have a decent Masters of the universe vintage toy. Just imagine if when we were kids the vintage Toy line had of these features and articulated joints. I remember asking to my parents how I can't poste my toys as the mini cómic, the mouth shield-armor in man at arms, the hands, the position of legs in the vehicles. In other way we could put in boiling water the toy hands and close more, the same thing with the head hole or may be using a dremel tool. Alma fondo vintage and the 200x. Classic just tried to emulate the vintage but looks ridiculus a "new style" radius design problems or aesthetic from a vintage Toy in this years as the reusing and the big fat clothes. . Disney online are not trying to do a new style. They are just upgrading with new features that we never seen before in the vintage toys. Filmation classics is the same problem. Filmation vintage is OK,, they are not trying to do a new line, they are just upgrading vintage according to filmation. This is the toy lne we always wanted as kids and I am going to collect all of this as my new vintage display poseable.

[@MrHomeArcade]

I finally got on on ebay, great review! Now my orgins collection is complete 🤣 💯

[@80sTransfromersFan]

Gorgeous packaging! Incredible box! I probably couldn't bring myself to open it.

[@Pixel-dan]

Yeah, they went all out for that box!

[@adrionjones]

Yeah, I would definitely leave this in package in hopes of getting individual releases down the line, at least of He-Man. I freaking loved the mini comics back in the day.

[@80sTransfromersFan]

@@adrionjones I was thinking that after SDCC that these figures would probably get reissues without the glamorous packaging. And that the packaging for the SDCC versions could become or sought after than the figures themselves.

[@adrionjones]

@@80sTransfromersFan Totally agree. I'm cool with that too. The figures in place are an intricate part of the storytelling/packaging, so I too would be pained to remove them.

[@paluxyl.8682]

I want to see them too on the shelfs in the stores , but I hope they change it that the figures can be part in the middle or that you can only part them if the torso looks backwards .

Excellent review, Dan. I really want to get my hands on this set. So glad you attempted the swaps because I was definitely wondering about the heads and weapons before you covered them. Kudos, sir.

I tried to think of everything! I know I could have tried some other things, but I'm glad this was helpful! :-D

This is the first SDCC exclusive that I'm genuinely stressing about missing. The packaging is wonderful. I really hope they've made enough for non attendees and the international market

The rumours were true!!!! We got the toyline.

[@justinvega9895Fett]

I really hope Mattel goes forward with a new main MOTU line this year like Super7 is doing but for mass retail. Also great review @PixelDan.

[@Pixel-dan]

I'd love to see these widely available at retail!

[@adamadams5200]

This is ridiculously awesome, packaging alone, being able to be resealed of sorts, I'm sold, this is definitely going to cost me an organ or two getting it from eBay.

I so hope this becomes a full line I would so love to get a Skeletor and Trap-jaw in this style and have them ride around on my vintage Rotons !

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

Very good MOTU homage, the action figures the box every thing is near perfect. I agree that they could try to hide the elbow bend and that the most powerful man in the universe should be hung like a horse. I would rather have a two pack with He-man and Skeletor but that is because I have a shelf devoted to them. I really hope this turns into a line and that these exclusives will be sold online. Nice review Dan thank you.

[@vaders28]

I seriously have to find a way to get this. I REALLY wasn't a fan of Super7 at all but now Mattel has it back,... THANK you Mattel.

[@redcomet_622]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these types of figures once the new film draws on the horizon. This is most likley Mattels first forray into taking back the MOTU license from Super 7

[@thomasruiz2565]

I freakin lost it when Hulk Hogans music played! Good stuff! 😂😂😂

[@greengald6252]

If this does get a full toyline, i only have three hopes: - Sell these in stores, like Hasbro's Marvel legends. The reason I never got the original Classics was because I could never find them in stores. (I was like, 7, give me some slack) - These need to have their original gimmicks. The powerpunch on this guy is sorely missed, so a release with that feature reincorporated would be awesome. It would also be one of the only toylines nowadays with action features like this, so that could help these figures get some more mainstream attention. -plz give me my boi Skeletor. Nothing else, just need a Skeletor in this style.

[@markdodson8570]

I don’t think the toy’s weird I think they’re awesome! I hope they release some origins Snakemen like tung lashor and king hsss. Makes me think of robot chicken’s He-man sketches where they took apart certain pieces and put wire and clay to the figures to give the vintage toys more articulations. Can’t wait for them in 2020 I just wish they at least come at winter 2019. Also the 15:03 music sounds like a He-man video game on Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. two thumbs up!

[@Pegwarmers]

These look great. I really hope we get something more than a few exclusives out of this.

[@YT0091]

I really hope this becomes a full line. I missed out on classics and now prices for them are insane. Besides, I really love the idea of them being in the original scale instead of the 7in scale.

I literally “Laughed On Loudly” during the Hulkster posing!

[@thewheelies6801]

I wasn't a fan of these at first, mainly because of the head being odd-looking and I didn't want a He-Man figure full of visible joints - but when I saw they included a vintage-style head you can use - and this video that shows how cleverly the muscle sculpts hide the joints, that changed my mind. Will definitely get one now.

[@The.Cult.Of.Vintage]

Awesome review! I played it safe and have a friend hopefully picking 1 up at convention and did a preorder just in case. I hope i get both now so i can display that amazing packaging and display the loose!

[@jinxcalibur]

YES, this is what I've been waiting for. I'll admit that I never took to the classics toy line, due to their larger sizes and sculpts. These vintage compatible figures are exactly what I've longed for since the 2001 reissues came out. I'm beyond hyped to see what else they have in store.

[@geechie-don7157]

First thing we did as kids when getting a MOTU figure was to make it shirtless for a true savage appearance lol. I'd do the same to this He-Man

[@sideswipe1261]

Dan, I cannot even find words to express my excitement for these! Good job, dude! A Mattel rep (I forget her name! Doh!) did state that these figures WERE INDEED headed to brick/mortar retail, like Walmart, Target... etc.!!!

[@bjdenil]

Man! You put that vintage head on and I suddenly and unexpectedly want one...

[@Toyboughtdave]

Really great review Dan!!! You showed off a lot of cool things in that video. As soon as I saw the power sword didn't fit I was wondering about the Classics sword and boom! You answered that question. I'm really hoping I can pick this up!

[@bubby14]

Seems to me that the comic sword for these figures is comic accurate in its dimensions (including the handle). I wouldn't mind a hand with a wider grip just for the sword as I do like the esthetic of that big handle.

An aesthetic advance of the vintage compare to the other two, is the muscles in the arms. Vintages left arm had little bigger muscle size compare to the right side.

I haven’t been “All in” with a MOTU line since 2002-2005. I only bought a few of the Classics. Totally bypassed all the Super7 product and went for the Loyal Subjects line which I love. These are at the same price point! I’m all in if they’re available at retail. I think if Mattel is trying to create brand awareness before their movie they’d be crazy not to distribute through WalMart and Target
