Mattel Clash of the Titans Action Figure Development

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

GREAT WORK!!

[@ericsonofjames4573]

The boat is great. I always wondered why they never made one as it could display 75% of the figures. An idea for Calibos. Make a fork for his hand that was cut off. You could make a “gun handle” to fit in his hand. The top part of the cylinder covers the hand and attaches to the handle. The fork comes off the end. The bottom would be open, but I think it would fit the style of toys back then and would look good in picture ( although slightly oversized)

[@FigureFiend]

thank you! And I always looked for more Clash at the store hoping for something else to come by way! I actually did a swappable hand with a peg and had a peg on the fork but found that drilling the wrist out was not something people wanted to do!

[@violetskye]

This is my new favorite channel! As a kid I remember owning the Perseus, Calibos and Kraken figures! Can't wait to see the Medusa figure, she was my favorite!

[@doc-multiverse]

100%

[@FigureFiend]

thank you and I appreciate that! I will show the new Clash stuff in a future video when it is complete and ready for sale as well!

[@filipematias5127]

Your art work and figures are amazing, you definitely have a gift for this kind of stuff

[@FigureFiend]

Wow, thank you!

[@zarnistastudios]

I just watched, went to eBay and picked up Bubo and the Helmet. I am so grateful you are making these and can’t wait for Medusa!!! I am all in!

[@FigureFiend]

excellent, thank you! I had roughly150 clash pieces and they went fast! I made 40 bubo's this time around so there would be some left!

[@zarnistastudios]

@ so glad they are doing well!! I will definitely review them when they come. They are going to make my collection so much more impressive.

[@AndrewsClayCreations]

I love Clash of the Titans, so cool to see all these amazing things you have created. Thanks for sharing.

[@FigureFiend]

thank you for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it!

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

Great stuff! Looking forward to seeing your Cerberus and Medusa!

[@FigureFiend]

thank you and I will hit them as soon as possible!

[@SuperDuperToyBox]

Loved these! Still have my Kraken, he's complete & in great shape

[@FigureFiend]

thank you! Glad you still held onto him!

[@eugenenickseugenespopmadness]

I was a kid when the movie came out. I absolutely loved it. This is completely awesome. I wish I had the money to buy all of the stuff maybe one day in the future.

[@FigureFiend]

thank you, and I do make batches every other month so its its there, then gone when you check back there will be more coming.

[@galloed1]

Wow amazing work!!!!

[@FigureFiend]

thank you!

[@manofaction1807]

Skeletons! I'd really dig some Harryhausen Skellies! I bought Perseus from a Target with some stocked up Lunch money, back in the day. That guy didn't even make it home before he dropped out of a sweatshirt pocket, and I never saw him again. IIRC, IK don't remember if they ever made a Medusa figure, or the old guy that Burgess Meredith played with the mechanical owl.

[@FigureFiend]

that is a disappointing end to your purchase! And skeletons and those other weird demon cave skeletons would be awesome!

[@alapaianderson5071]

This is awesome, thxs for sharing 👍

[@FigureFiend]

No problem 👍thank you

[@warrior_mtl4895]

Your work is crazy good !!!

[@FigureFiend]

I appreciate that!

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Great figures!

[@FigureFiend]

Thank you!

[@RobertoMartinez-pr9bd]

I remember when Starlog did a list of movies that were going to come out during the summer. I would go on a Saturday mattney , take the train to the city. I was a fan of 3D films. I wanted to make movies.

[@minnesotajones261]

1981, the year we got Raiders of the Lost Ark, Clash of the Titans, and Dragonslayer!

[@FigureFiend]

a great time period for films! And 3D ones at that, I even saw Metalstorm in the theater then!

[@keeponcollecting]

You're very clever! I love what you're doing with the Clash accessories. I miss out on most like Charon's boat and the vulture cage. Hopefully i can grab a playset and the planned figs. Fabulous creations mate 👌 ❤😊

[@FigureFiend]

thank you! More will be on the store in March!

[@keeponcollecting]

@@FigureFiend oh! good news! I will keep an eye out for them 😊

[@justinsharpe6090]

Brilliant work mate !

[@FigureFiend]

thank you! Cheers!

[@taintedlife2618]

I hd no idea as a child that they had a toy line. I do remember seeing the laserdisc at Gemco and being obsessed with that. Although we didn’t own a player. It’s damn offensive that they didn’t have a Medusa in the line. She was the best!!! Looking forward to that! This I film made me obsessed with Greek Mythology. My friend met Ray Harryhausen at SD Comic Con back in the day and he was really kind.

[@skylx0812]

Great way to innovate. If you don't have it, just make it. Whats that line from Zeus in Jason & the Argonauts, _"The gods are best served by those who want their help least."_ 👍

[@FigureFiend]

Ha, that's a great line!

[@toomieornot2me436]

I had all of these still with the weapons. The Kraken got sold off in a yard sale when I was away at school. It still had the box. The right fin always fell off on mine. I had the figures and Pegasus for years after, but I still have no idea where they are. Gave the Pegasus to a friend. For some reason, I chewed on his wings. 😆

[@FigureFiend]

that is hilarious, it was a particularly chewy material! And unfortunate they were lost to time, but it sounds like you had great fun with the time you had!

[@butwhydoe4020]

I loved the movie, never knew there were toys. You are mad creative Dude.

[@FigureFiend]

thanks man!

[@rynohobbies]

Whoa! This took me back in time. I loved the movie and this line and a kid. I only had Perseus, Calibos and Pegasus. I would looove a 1:12 scale modern articulated version of these. Then I can be like Zeus. Exellent production on the video btw.

[@FigureFiend]

thank you and I would love to see someone do new versions, no one has approached since Gentle Giant years ago!

[@dominicpaul1]

This is shockingly good 😮❤️

[@FigureFiend]

thank you!

[@aviansavage6338]

I remember seeing the figures in the Sears Catalog

[@FigureFiend]

Nice! I had forgotten about those- The Sears Christmas catalog!

[@machinegundevildog5097]

I never knew these existed I must have been too invested with g.i.joe, he-man, and mask

[@intzbk1]

Nice work. I ended up putting Starbuck's cloak on the soldier captain and Adama's on Perseus. That's about as far as I got for customizing back in those days. :)

[@FigureFiend]

a perfect choice!

[@THAMAINMAN2025]

Fantastic work. I do remember these as a kid and the movie on HBO. So glad you’re filling in the gaps. Just a recommendation. There’s a channel called Retroblasting that has had a big following in the action figure world. The owner is not a very nice guy. He’s been really awful to people on his livestreams for no reason and in his comments. It’s really bad. Probably heard of him, if not avoid him.

[@FigureFiend]

I have not, thanks for the tip! and thanks for the kind words!

[@mghc7]

I saw this movie when it came out for 50cents at a drive in and there was a dugout where the kids would go to watch the movie..and you didn’t have to sit in the car..looking back I can imagine what the parents were do8ng while we were watching th flick in the dugout

[@figuresix]

Dude, your making all the stuff I wanted as a kid when I got these for xmas. I wish they had finished the line. Would have loved Andromeda, the witches, Zeus, and Poseidon, Hera, and the other gods. But that Bubo kicks butt. I dont know why they never made him. Maybe when you do medusa you can figure a way to make her head removable. Hopefully one of these days one of these 3d designers will make a Kraken we can 3d print.

[@FigureFiend]

I am definitely going to heave her head removable! and thank you, I appreciate that, I am surprised that Bubo did not make it into the store in any way as well!

[@slimehousetv]

Top marks man, love to see it!

[@FigureFiend]

thank you, much appreciated!

[@audiogus2651]

Such a cool concept, fantastic you are doing this! If you were a Thundarr fan, very much hope you take a stab at that!

[@FigureFiend]

thank you and I do love myself some Thundarr!

[@patrickshaffer4950]

Have you considered 3D printing the bottom of the tail for the Kraken? I have the toy, but would prefer the tail have a snap in bottom. I also sewn shoulder sleeves to hide the ball joints a bit, but it would be great to have something that could snap on to give it a smoother look. You do great work. Thanks.

[@FigureFiend]

I had not, I know the guy that does the Shogun Warriors makes replacement pieces in the proper plastics and colors for the Kraken. I would love to see the shoulder covers if you are willing to share!

[@patrickshaffer4950]

@@FigureFiend I would appreciate you reaching out to the Shogun guy. It would be a worthwhile conversation. Thanks.

[@gigerbrick]

This is incredible!

[@FigureFiend]

thank you!

[@Agent_86_]

Great stuff! But the geek inside me compels me to mention that the boatman's correct name pronunciation is closer to "KAY-ron". 🤓

[@FigureFiend]

thank you! Kay-ron it is!

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

For the serious CLASH OF TITANS collectables the x plus & gentle giant versions are the best made (the Gentle Giant vinyl figures ACTUALLY scanned from the models used in the film) & you can't get more accurate than that, of course they arent available now, BUT I'd love to see them scanned by a collector & then 3d printed.

[@FigureFiend]

The Clash pieces from the movie will actually be in the US this year on display for anyone interested!

[@FigureFiend]

and the gentle giant stuff is fantastic!

[@jmsparger4339]

All I ever wanted was a BUBO that turned it's head, hooted, flapped it's wings and spun it's eyes when you pushed a button.

[@FigureFiend]

I wanted that too since it did show up in the magazine ads!

[@doryenmctown4795]

I had a few of this, too bad it didn’t include the Kraken

[@magnumrex]

I played with these figures a lot until GI Joe came along and dominated everything. Are you still selling accessories on etsy?

[@vintagetoykid9682]

Do you have the files for these prints available to download?

[@FigureFiend]

Not this stuff, I sell the completed and painted versions and nor the files. I may offer them for the larger pieces in the future since they take 20 hours just to make 1!

[@TheJericho1123]

Cerberus has 3 heads.

[@minnesotajones261]

Yes, but the doggo in the film had just two heads, easier for Ray to animate.

[@FigureFiend]

In the movie he was reduced to 2! less to animate

[@dawwe8869]

Eyy

[@FigureFiend]

thanks!

[@AlphaProto]

Wow! Clash of the Titans had toys?! That movie had nudity in it. I didn't think that was child appropriate.
