MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection MANTENNA Figure Review with Parts Swapping!

[@meg-k-waldren]

I like how these new cards are sturdy.

[@Themanchlid]

@@meg-k-waldren The new cartoon cards feel much more sturdy now! Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👍

[@mrbowen3]

I wanted an action figure of this version since I was a kid! Great video as always!

[@Themanchlid]

@@mrbowen3 I hear that! I was really excited to get that Classics Mantenna from Super7 a while back. But this Origins one feels more sturdy and its fun to mix parts with. Thanks for watching as always 👍

[@sarderts7680]

Mantenna Origins is the best versions. Even better then the vintage Amntenna.

[@Themanchlid]

@@sarderts7680 The Origins did an awesome job remastering Mantenna compared to the vintage figure. Thanks for watching 👍

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

This whole series is incredible. Finally Mattel has gotten it together to respect the property in the right way. Still wish this series had double jointed knees and a crunches😂❤

[@Themanchlid]

@rickytoddbotelho9555 I wasn't even gonna get into this cartoon series at first, but I'm glad I did! They look cool and are really fun to mix with the regular Origins. I think double joints would hurt the classic asthetics of this line. Thanks for watching as always!

[@sawrig]

Looks like they used the tmnt hands on mantenna here. Smart reuse as always. I liked the hordak boots on mantenna I think i prefer that then the half boots half feet look. Definitely have to grab this one when it comes my way. Thanks for all the mixing and matching as always. Solid review!

[@Themanchlid]

@sawrig Thanks for taking the time to watch the review and parts mixing. Yeah, you might correct with Mantennas' hands being reused from the Turtles. They look close. I thought it would be interesting to see what four Hordak boots would look like on all feet. However, I also prefer the two regular boots and then half boots. I'm gonna leave my figure just the way he came! I hope you get one soon!👍

[@mrbowen3]

A great thing about these cartoon figures is that they are sturdy and don't feel like they are going to break. As much as I love the TMNT and DC cartoon figures, they are so fragile I don't even want to chance posing them much. The interchangeability is something that would have been so fun to have had when I was a kid, too. That is such a great feature that the original line would have really benefited from. It would have inspired so many character creations for kids that would have fueled the line for much longer.

[@Themanchlid]

@mrbowen3 Yeah, the modular parts and sturdy build of these Origins Cartoon figures really make them worth collecting and fun to have! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👍

[@ahra8820]

Ooooohhhh butterflyer 🤩🤩 Cool carry vehicle and Angela there too Be awesome to get them

[@Themanchlid]

@ahra8820 Thanks for watching! Yeah, they show some cool character teases in art that might be other figures coming 👌

He looks EPIC love the design of the she ra cartoon figures boxs 👍

[@Themanchlid]

@warrennewman5325 This Mantenna figure came out great for the cartoon line. The newer cartoon cards also look really good! Thanks for watching ✌️

[@Dokken1975]

Hell yeah! I got two Ram Man’sand two Mantenna’s on the way. Should have all 4 this next week.

[@Themanchlid]

@@Dokken1975 Oh nice!! Congrats on getting those figures. Mantenna is awesome looking! I hope you get them all soon! Thanks for watching 👌

An excellent review of Mantenna!

[@Themanchlid]

@@aaronscott5882 Thanks so much for stopping in as always! What a really cool cartoon figure!👍

@aaronscott5882 👌💯

[@Shaitanshammer]

Yes. This Mantenna, will be the Personal "Manservant" of my custom Emperor Hordak!

[@Themanchlid]

@@Shaitanshammer This Mantanna can definitely fit in well with that Hordak custom you mentioned! Thanks for checking out this review 👍

[@Shaitanshammer]

@@Themanchlid Yup. Building my ideal Horde. Will probably use the Cartoon Leech, too.

[@Themanchlid]

@Shaitanshammer The Cartoon Leech and Cartoon Catra is coming in the next wave. I look forward to getting those two.👍

[@FandomEntanglement]

I really like this Mantenna figure! I’m still behind on Origins and don’t have the “vintage” Mantenna, but I think I actually prefer this one! I love that both figures have kept the action feature intact and have given him 4 legs! The Horde were always some of my favorites, so I’m really looking forward to the other Cartoon Collection versions. And most definitely looking forward to Cartoon Collection She-Ra! ~Damon

[@Themanchlid]

@FandomEntanglement I'm really impressed how cool this Mantenna looks for this series. His design is simple, but he can work with both the regular Origins or Cartoon series. I can't wait to see the other Cartoon Horde figures! She-Ra looks great! But I haven't removed her yet from the card. Thanks for checking out another review 👌

[@Dokken1975]

I got Mantenna and Ram Man in the mail the other day. The cards were so perfect I decided to leave them and keep those sealed. I ordered two more from Entertainment Earth that shipped yesterday, those will be the ones I open this weekend. Hopefully we get another cartoon Horde member soon, cause this guys all by himself right now lol😂

[@Themanchlid]

@@Dokken1975 Thats Awesome! I'm glad to hear You got Those two figures from Entertainment Earth already! They some of the best cartoon figures yet! The cards look to good to open up if you only have one. I'm keeping my She-Ra sealed for now. I only have the one. I can't wait to see Cartoon Hordak! Thanks for watching and sharing your Toy haul updates 👍

[@BamaTony73]

This figure is nice. I cannot wait to pick him up. Along with Ram Man, She-Ra. Awesome review! 👍

[@Themanchlid]

@BamaTony73 Thanks for watching! These are some of the best cartoon figures yet! Entertainment Earth got some early. That's a good place to preorder these or Big Bad Toy store as well.

[@BamaTony73]

​​@@ThemanchlidThinking his neck is supposed to be red in the cartoon and also check the figure picture advertising he has a red neck in some pics and then blue neck? Not sure what's going on with that? Lol But as far as I remember his neck is red in the cartoon I could be wrong.

[@BamaTony73]

Yep, they had pictures of him for us to buy with a red neck as they were supposed to use, however went totally against the red neck and gave him a blue one for some strange reason. I'll have to paint mine red I don't like that not being red as it's supposed to be in the cartoon. They need to pay more attention to what they're doing if mimicking a cartoon. LOL

[@Themanchlid]

@BamaTony73 Many of the colors or tones with these Origins Cartoon Figures are off sometimes.

[@Themanchlid]

@BamaTony73 I guess something was changed or mixed up at the factory with this figure or certain ones. It happens often.

[@allmusicfan88]

Great figure, look forward to receiving it! :) Give me all the Filmation crap! lol ha ha

[@Themanchlid]

@@allmusicfan88 I hear that! I love this cartoon series. Give me more as well! Thanks for watching as always 👌

[@citadelli]

I love your MOTU-O reviews. You collect a few lines, Origins, Masterverse, Joes, some AF I believe… what’s your favorite, most fun line?

[@Themanchlid]

@@citadelli Thank-you! I appreciate your interest and Support to this Channel! I collect Motu Classics, Origins, Masterverse, certain Neca Horror figures and Mcfarlane figures. I also have a mix of all kinds of other monsters such as Xplus Godzilla and Schleich creatures. My favorite Motu line will always be the Classics fist. But the Origins is definitely my favorite series now.

[@geffeternal741]

That's Butterflyer! PoP version of Battle Bones. Vehicle/ carry case for the figures and accessories! 😊

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 I never heard of that character before. Interesting to know!👍

[@geffeternal741]

@@Themanchlid She was only shown once in the cartoon. Guessing, to advertise her toy/ vehicle. 😄

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 I never saw her before. I don't remember all the episodes!

[@Shaitanshammer]

So. I got She-Ra and Ram Man and was surprised to discover. The blistercards are now thick and sturdy. Not that they stayed in cards or anything.

[@Themanchlid]

@@Shaitanshammer Nice pick-ups on those two figures! Yeah Blisercards are much more sturdy than the regular Origins cards now. They look really nice! I still haven't removed my She-Ra to review because I at least want one of these figures sitting mint on card! She-Ra will be it until I get another one!

[@Themanchlid]

@geffeternal741 Yeah, I love the look of the new Ram Man's cartoon face. I look forward to reviewing him soon! Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👍

[@ggary04]

The legs will be an incredible custom for a foot solider when the Mutated King Hiss figure drops. It will look like a Knucklehead... Please make sure to do that combination.

[@Themanchlid]

@@ggary04 I know the TOG king Hiss comes with parts to make a typical foot soldier. I'm not familiar with Knuclehead. I'll look in to it when i can get my hands on the exclusive King Hiss figure.👍

[@ggary04]

@Themanchlid between the way the vehicle looks and the blue for the legs it's an incredible match made in heaven. Plus it's perfect for a mutated foot solider to give them two more feet😅 Mix it with a stratos grey body and arms and it's probably the coolest custom you could make.

[@Themanchlid]

@ggary04 👍

[@rickbrunet2559]

I think he came out awesome! And I agree, the bigger hands would have been cooler.

[@Themanchlid]

@rickbrunet2559 They really made this cartoon version of Mantenna fun looking. Yeah, the hands should have had longer fingers. But it's still a good design. Thanks for watching as always 👍

@@eltenda I agree! Thanks for stopping by! 👍

[@killbotone6210]

I have Mantena Origins but gotta say the colors pn this are Knock Out and i think would stand out way more in a collection on display. Im in no rush so probably pick a cheap one up in the future.

[@Themanchlid]

@@killbotone6210 I prefer the Original Origins Mantenna before this figure. But I definitely like the colors and seeing this alternative version mixed in the collection. They both are fun to have. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on this figure!

[@TheWandifan]

Cool figure. I think it came out better than the origins figure.

[@Themanchlid]

@TheWandifan Thanks for checking out this review, brother! Yeah, I'm impressed how well this cartoon Mantenna looks next to the regular version. He has the simple cartoon design but is still creepy enough to mix with the regular Origins Horde figures.

[@geffeternal741]

My order of Mantenna and Rammie from EE should be arriving tomorrow. 😊 The full wave with She-Ra, unfortunately, is backorder! 😩

[@Themanchlid]

@geffeternal741 Nice! Hopefully, they will arrive soon! Yeah, She-Ra sells out quickly. I'm keeping my in card until I get another. Thanks for checking out this review 👍

[@somarriba333]

He looks awesome. Too bad the head is scuffed. You could get fine sand paper to smooth it out and then get a nail buffer to give the plastic back its shine.

[@Themanchlid]

@somarriba333 Thanks for stopping in as always! Yeah, the scuffing is a little annoying. I'll fix it. Overall, he looks really cool for the Cartoon collection 👍

[@somarriba333]

@@Themanchlid I do wish the Horde symbol was sculpted instead of painted. If I could get two of him, I would like to do leg swaps so that each could have 4 matching legs.

[@Themanchlid]

@somarriba333 Yeah I would have preferred the sculpted chest bat. I'm sure a leg swap can work with a little heat from a blow dryer or hot water between two figures.

[@brent2073]

This thing is excellent.

[@Themanchlid]

@@brent2073 Well said and I agree! This Cartoon Mantenna came out really great! Thanks for checking out the review!!!

[@Shaitanshammer]

I didn't get the Vintage version because like many figures from that period became hard to find. Though its becoming easier to get. However I might just settle for this version. Oh and the same goes for Ram Man. Didn't get the Vintage version, but just ordered the Cartoon version along with She-Ra.

[@Themanchlid]

@Shaitanshammer The vintage and cartoon versions have two complete different tones going with designs. But they both both bring something unique. I think this new New Mantenna is a good choice alongside or by himself with the Origins Horde. He has a simple design but is still creepy. Thanks for checking out the review 👍

They finally have this at Walmart but I skipped on this but I’ll look at your review before I get him wish his face was more evil then this look

[@Themanchlid]

He looks cool in hand.

[@joseconcepcion6949]

The legs on this is really his selling point which means I wanna get him now or maybe someone got this for me as a Christmas gift I hope so ? Find out soon enough 25 of this month if not I will buy him to cool to pass

[@Themanchlid]

I'm so glad Mattel decided to add four legs to both Origins Mantenna figures instead of the two legs sculpted together like the vintage figure in the 80s had. Hopefully, you get one for Christmas! Thanks for watching 👍

[@geffeternal741]

Question about Mantenna's eyes. Are they supposed to be painted off like that? Just got mine and they looked wonky, but it seems all the reviews I've seen, they're all are. 🧐

[@Themanchlid]

@geffeternal741 I'm glad to hear you just got your Mantenna figure. They look decent to me. The eye colors and center pupils look ok for a cartoon Mantenna figure. But im sure certain figures will vary because of factory issues.

[@geffeternal741]

@Themanchlid But they're doing the chameleon eye thingie. S7's Mantenna's eyes looks fine. 🤔 He definitely needs an accesory. He feels nekkid. 😑

[@Themanchlid]

@@geffeternal741 I guess it's the design they decided to go with for reasons. Yes he should have had some kind of accessory.

[@joseconcepcion6949]

I wish they would use this body to make module lock instead of build a figure style

[@Themanchlid]

I think that look would have been too small for Modulok in the Origins line now.

[@mariusbabii]

this guy's head look like an army red ant,(like the 1990's toys (A.N.T.S.).........LOVE THIS VERSION TOO, COOL, I HOPE TARGET AND WALMART HAS HIM?,.........MARIUS(PUNK RULES).

@@mariusbabii I always liked that strange head on Mantenna! Hopefully Walmarts will get these soon. Thanks for watching already!👌

[@joseconcepcion6949]

I want the darker color one looks more evil not so goofy 🤪 look the vintage version darker side looks way better

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, the colors are very bright on these cartoon figures compared to the animation.

[@geffeternal741]

We needs Weapons Pack for Cartoon Collection, just saying! 😊

[@Themanchlid]

@geffeternal741 Yeah, I would like to see more blasters for these figures.

[@JurassicRod]

His arms look too buff and out of proportion with the rest of him.

[@Themanchlid]

@JurassicRod I actually think the buff arms make him look better for a Horde warrior. He looks more intimating now, in my opinion. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍

[@JurassicRod]

@@Themanchlid I always think of Mantenna as the weedy guy he was in the cartoon. His power was more his eye blasts than brute strength.

[@Themanchlid]

@JurassicRod The skinny arms look is what I never liked about Mantenna on the animation. I guess that's why I preferred the Classics look. Because they bulked up his Muscles to look like He-man and Skeletor. That's what I also liked about those figures. So, the larger arms are more appealing to me. But everyone has their own vision of certain Characters and designs.

[@danield1262]

Neck is wrong color and pupils are wonky

[@Themanchlid]

@danield1262 The colors are always a bit off with this Origins cartoon collection compared to the Classics figures.

Hello Manchild! Your Mix and Match is becoming more and more wonky! It's not your fault, thats the figure parts... childish and wonky, never liked the cartoon as a kid because it was too childish even then. I wait for your modulok review!!

[@Themanchlid]

@iliasfog8857 Hello again! Yep, the parts mixing is definitely a little wonky! More than half the viewers that watch my channel come to see parts mixing from what i learned between the comments and Instagram followers. Otherwise, im just another guy filming and twisting a figure on KZbin, which anyone can do! I only do this, and most parts are swapping because of the requests from all the customizers on what parts can mix with certain figures. Or can i try this or that! Somethings makes sense and is fun to me. Other things I would never do with my figure. The modular capabilities with Origins are genius. I wish the Masterverse had removable waists and arms. I just Pre-ordered Modulok yesterday from the whole Shabang. 👍
