Masters of the Universe Origins MODULOK Review & Build!

[@ThomasRay-dq2ru]

Just got mine here in the UK today. As a mint in box collector it's a beast of a pack. I'm really happy with it, never had Modulok as a kid.

[@Themanchlid]

@@ThomasRay-dq2ru Congrats on getting your Modulok figure in hand. The figure make a great piece mint in box or all set up out of box like my figure is now. He's definitely much bigger and cooler looking then the Original figure from the 80s. Thanks for watching and sharing your Modulok figure updates 👌

29:49 Incredible Origins figure! I really want one for Christmas this year 👍

[@Themanchlid]

@@RoyceLovesHisShotgun He really is incredible and a must have for the Origins collection! Thanks for stopping in to check out this review!👍

[@iliasfog8857]

Hello Manchild! Finally! There is the Master-Figure (King) of "part swapping" and "mix and match". Can't wait to get mine. "We made it to Modulok?" We would have made it to Modulok 2 years earlier, when Mattel would'nt have mixed ever "no canon" sh*t inside the line. It is still a hoax/miracle that the complete core Horde is not completed to this day. Nice Part Swaping like always! Keep on the good work!

[@Themanchlid]

Hello iliasfog8857! Yep, we made it to Modulok, and you're gonna be happy with this one! There's still hope to finish the rest of the 80s Origins figures up. Mattel promised several times in interviews that they would complete the line over time. They also said the Regular Two Bad is finished with sculpting. Maybe we will see him at Toy Fair. This Modulok was worth the wait and came out awesome!! You do have to use a little caution if you're gonna pull parts on and off too much because of the fixed pegs. Definitely use a blow dryer on low heat on the sockets to mix parts around. I think most of us are just gonna build one or two forms and leave him as is. Or just keep him in the box. Aside from that, We won! We have Modulok, and there are plenty of Preorders available to get a couple 👍

[@josray2557]

I remember when this guy 1st came out in the vintage line and my dad said he'd buy me it if I learned my ABC's haha I learned the alphabet that very day. Toys were a big motivator for me as a little one.

[@Themanchlid]

@@josray2557 Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your childhood Toy memories! Yeah I have all kinds of little memories with many of those Vintage Masters of the Universe figures as a kid. I talked about it with certain figures in some of my videos or a Top Ten Origins list a did a couple years ago. Since then so many cool figures such as this Modulok has been added to the line. He looks awesome!👍

[@stephenleahy1684]

Top review as always. Have mine pre order at bbts. Probably will display him in vintage shape. Don't like the idea. Of pulling them ball joints in and out too much. Could lead to them breaking. Had him as a kid. Got modulok hordak leech and mantenna. In Christmas 1985. Great childhood memories.

[@Themanchlid]

@@stephenleahy1684 Thanks for always taking the time to watch another review on this channel! This Modulok came from Entertainment Earth. BBTS is taking longer to get the newer figures in. But they will be here before you know it. The joints feels sturdy enough to pull parts on and off a few times, but i wouldn't go crazy with with that because I can see them breaking. I also remember getting all those Evil Horde figures as a kid in the 80s. Great childhood memories for sure!!👌

[@stephenleahy1684]

​@Themanchlid I recently got an email from bbts. That cartoon collection antenna she ra, ram man and necro conda. Will be in my pile of loot soon. Hoping to see the fright zone in 2025.

[@Themanchlid]

@stephenleahy1684 Hopefully you can get all those figures soon from BBTS. Will see what Toy fair shows with MOTU in February.👍

[@geekillustratordad4982]

Heck yeah! Fantastic man! This is a must own ORIGINS for me! Just beautiful man, hope you and the family had a great Turkey Day.

[@Themanchlid]

I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving too! This Modulok is a beast. Thanks for watching already 👍

[@jacobstoner208]

So cool! I hope Santa brings mine in time for Christmas 😆

[@Themanchlid]

@@jacobstoner208 He looks awesome! Hopefully Santa gets you a Modulok! Lol. Thanks for watching 👌

[@ZOMb2010]

One has to wonder how well today's plastics will hold up down the road ...if this figure ever get brittle ,good luck with the pegs.

[@Themanchlid]

@@ZOMb2010 The pegs feel sturdy for now. But I can definitely see issues down the road if someone constantly pulls the parts on and off frequently with this figure.

[@FandomEntanglement]

Modulok was always one of my favorites growing up. My parents had a rule that I could only have one of any particular character (no variants), but they made an exception with Modulok because of the mixing and matching of multiple body parts. So I do remember having at least two of them (maybe three?) and then definitely just the one Multi-Bot the following year. That being said, one big criticism I have with this (especially after watching your review) is that Mattel really made this more complicated than it needed to be. I mean, the modular system was already built into Origins. I’m not quite understanding why they couldn’t just duplicate the original plug and play method into this newer figure. Playmates is doing the same thing with the newest waves of their Tales of the TMNT line, and despite the parts not having articulation (which they could), it works perfectly. I don’t really hurt my fingers mixing and matching the parts. This seems like a chore (and as you said, a bit stressful) to use that tool and remember which extension works with each part. My arm and muscle strength is weakening more and more as time goes by. Regardless of that, this is still an awesome figure, and one that I will likely be getting multiples of. I mean, at this point, I sort of have to! My son saw this and another review of Modulok and said, “Oh yes!” Combine that with multiples of Multi-Bot (which is pretty much another certainty as next year’s follow-up), and that’ll be one massive MegaBeast!!! Great review! ~Damon

[@Themanchlid]

@@FandomEntanglement I only had one Modulok and Multibot as a kid. I think I only tried to mix parts between the two once. I always kept my figures setup just like the box, kind of like I'm doing now with the Origins. I agree! I think the modular design of this figure for Origins is a little complicated and delicate with some of those pegs. I guess time will tell! I also don't care for that tool and the way certain pegs have to plug in or be installed. Aside from those choices, This Version of Modulok came out awesome for the Origins. The size, colors and overall look is way cooler than the vintage figure. I look forward to seeing Multibot next. I can can definitely see him coming next year to the Origins. Thanks for watching as always 👌

[@TheWandifan]

Great awesome figure!! Got mine ready to go for Christmas lol. Iris a big figure, I wasn’t expecting that. Thought it would be smaller, tbh. A lot of work to get this put together lol. Hard part is going to be deciding how to display it now.

[@Themanchlid]

@@TheWandifan That's awesome to hear you got yours ready to go for Christmas! Lol. I really think this is the best Origins figure to date! I love the overall size of him. Thanks for watching as always 👌

[@elias_jkp]

Great review! Maybe the parts mix & match works a little easier when slightly heating up some of the pieces with a hairdryer.

[@Themanchlid]

@@elias_jkp Thanks for checking out the review! Yes I would definitely use a blow dryer to mix parts. I didn't have one near me at the time. You still have to be careful with some of those pegs.

[@connorstoytime]

Awesome figure and review where did you get it?

[@Themanchlid]

@@connorstoytime Thanks for checking out this review! I got him from Entertainment Earth.

[@Dokken1975]

Looks like a couple of mine are shipping from EE any day now as they are processing. Got one more from BBTS as well. Can’t wait to get it!!!

[@Themanchlid]

@@Dokken1975 Nice! This Modulok also came from EE. I have another one coming from the Whole Shabang. He's totally worth it! Thanks for watching as always 👍

@@rickytoddbotelho9555 Thanks for stopping in already to check out the review! I'm gonna start working on that Hordak review tommorrow 👍

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Cool video! Thank you! Weird that they used Skeletor feet for his finned legs, when the Whiplash / Buzz-Off / Clawful feet would've been perfect.

[@Themanchlid]

@@Beedo_Sookcool Thanks for watching as always! I think the Original Modulok had little fins on those style legs as well. So Mattel was trying to be somewhat accurate to that design and add it to this Origins Modulok.

[@geffeternal741]

He definitely looks awesome all set up like that, finally. But the whole pop-in and pop-out of pegs and pieces has my anxiety going on a coaster ride! 😮😬😆

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 I think the overall design is much cooler than the vintage Modulok which seemed small compared to this figure. You have to your time pulling parts on and off the pegs. Use a little heat on the socket areas.

[@geffeternal741]

@Themanchlid The vintage was shorter in proportions compared to the normal MOTU males b'cuz they're trying to maintain the 5.5 height ratio, especially with his dual neck extensions. Probably not to mention all the plastic they had to use. 😆 It also comes with more dual connectors than MotuClassics and Origins, I think. 🤔

[@Themanchlid]

@geffeternal741 👍

[@AssistantProfessor]

We need the Fright Zone in Origins, come on Mattel!

[@Themanchlid]

@@AssistantProfessor Yeah really! I was hoping to see an Origins Fright zone last year at SDCC. Maybe we will get one next year! Thanks for watching 👌

[@AssistantProfessor]

@@Themanchlid Me too, I was hoping to see it last year. Thanks for your videos.

[@Themanchlid]

@AssistantProfessor Thanks for watching my videos! Yeah I'm really surprised Mattel hasn't put out the Fright zone for Origins yet.

[@4thecollectors]

Man thank you for breaking this down shit😂 I just put mine together and I also use the extra pieces on the very end back legs and the extra extension pieces on the bottom arms which will take up shelf space but I got it done 😅

[@Themanchlid]

@@4thecollectors Thanks for watching and congrats on getting your Modulok figure all together now! I tried to lay it out as simple as I can see putting this figure together in that vintage full form and see what other parts are left to add or build two figures. I think he should have come with a second pelvis piece with all the pegs sticking out. It's also a little stressful pulling parts on and off this figure to mix parts around. The pegs feel a little dedicate to do that over and over. I'm leaving my figure setup like the back of the box and I put the extra parts away.

[@4thecollectors]

@@Themanchlid yeah I may have to end up removing the extra extensions on the back legs and bottom arms just to get it on the shelf I got the cupcake stands so it's hard to maneuver it

[@Themanchlid]

@4thecollectors I made the first mistake putting the longer extension in the back. I had to Change it out with the short one. I think I showed that in this review.

[@sxhbk]

Now show us all 1k poses bro. JK great review pal as always.

[@Themanchlid]

@@sxhbk Thanks for watching bro! To be honest! I think some of the pegs will become weak or break trying to constantly pull parts off and snap them back on trying to many setups.

[@rickbrunet2559]

Figure looks awesome! Just ses like work! If I get to get him, he's staying in box. Lol

[@Themanchlid]

@@rickbrunet2559 This new Modulok came out really cool for the Origins! It definitely takes a little work and patience to set him up or mix parts around like I showed. Thanks for watching 👌

[@Themanchlid]

@@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50 I think I ever seen that shield in the cartoon. It looks more like a tool that was mixed with a shield idea. He came out really cool! Thanks for watching as always 👌

[@geffeternal741]

That's the toy version of Adora in the vintage line. She-Ra without the tiara/ headress is Adora. Or with the tiara right side up is Adora and with the tiara upside down and as a mask is She-Ra. 🤔

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 Thanks for watching as always! I had the toy She-Ra as a kid. The art looks more complex than the toy. So im not sure what it's trying to reference.

[@geffeternal741]

@Themanchlid It's definitely the same with Clark Kent with glasses on as to Superman with it off! 🤓😄😆

I wish mattel would make this character in masterverse

[@Themanchlid]

@@robot4me It's possible! They already have out Hordak, Leech, Grizzlor and the Horde Trooper. However if they ever make a Modulok for Masterverse., then i hope its the New Eternia version to look something like this Origins design. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ericlewis217]

So a bummer that you cant create two single headed full body characters, the original came with two different torsos. Was planning to get three to be able to to this, two single headed and one combined and one carded. Guess two instead.

[@Themanchlid]

@@ericlewis217 Thanks for watching! Yeah I also wish they included two main lower Torso pieces to build two single headed figures like you mentioned. I only see one included with my figure. I guess they want people to buy multiple Figures.

[@geffeternal741]

I'm not liking how the neck piece is too long. He looks like he's always peering over a wall or something. Of course, I might change my mind once in hand. 😅

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 Yeah I heard a few other people in the comments not liking that neck piece either. I used to it quickly 👍

I’m hoping for a 3D printed one that’s more like the original, something about the double neck on this guy just doesn’t work for me… think he’s great otherwise though.

[@Themanchlid]

@@park78675 I can definitely see 3D custom neck parts coming for this figure. The neck design is a little strange.

[@mopkrayz]

it's not built to play with and disassemble 1000 times. it's better to plan what form you like best and just display him like that!!!!!

[@Themanchlid]

@@mopkrayz I totally agree! However it is marketed to build different forms and mix parts around. But I don't trust those Pegs long term. I built mine like the back box art. That's how he is staying. Thanks for watching 👌

Matell, here tried to copy stan lee's version of ANTMAN,.....look closely, one head fire ant/the other a man's face, i love both, versions, and no, I don't have Antman as an action figure yet,.......marius(punk rules).

[@Themanchlid]

@@mariusbabii I don't collect any Ant Man figures. I'm not sure if Mattel took any inspiration from Ant Man for Modulok.
