MOTU Origins Cartoon Skeletor x VeeFriends Mattel Creations Exclusive He-Man, Skilled Skeleton

[@BrickSomething]

Huh...that's different. And yeah, the fact that they keep trying out new things and collaborations with the MOTU IP is ultimately a good sign. It's alive and evolving. ✌🏾➕✊🏾

[@Wchapel88]

This Skeletor, reminds me of the Skeletor from The He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special.

[@donnysboy1]

You're right! Very cool. That's one of my all time favorite Christmas specials. Those little kids even told Orko about baby Jesus. The 80s were so awesome 😎👍

[@donnysboy1]

Thanks for the heads-up, Jay! Now I have time to cut back on groceries for the next week.

[@citadelli]

I can already see so many Dr Evil and Mini me videos with Skeletor and his new friend from Arcade in my head lol

[@allmusicfan88]

Must have for me, anything Filmation!! Love the extra hands and vac metal on the weapons and armor!

[@geffeternal741]

The Filmations Skeletor looks great. Expressions reminiscence of the Christmas Special. 😊

[@TimboFromLimbo]

Check out all those abs! Definitely a new torso buck for these toony figures.

[@davecinelli1068]

The Horns hand was an excellent idea, now all he needs is a "Dio" t-shirt. Skeletor is The Man on the Serpent Mountain.

[@brushstroke3733]

We need a crossover Eddie Skeletor (Iron Maiden).

[@brushstroke3733]

I'll probably order this pair. I really like Skeletor's rocker hand 🤘 and facial expressions! I think this set may be sought after by collectors in afew years, though that's probably a terrible reason to buy them! 😅

[@CoraBuhlert]

The Skeletor looks great, particularly the different facial expressions. I was a bit sceptical about the Filmation figures, but if I saw this Skeletor in a store, I'd pick him up in a second. Not sure about Skilled Skeleton, though he is cute. Luckily, I still have more than a week to decide whether to get this set.

[@stud_sidious]

Your thoughts on the skilled skeleton is exactly my point from above. Gary V is way into marketing & that’s what the v friends line is about. That’s why they all have strange attribute names. It began as just cards but it’s way to segmented of a niche product to be a huge mainstream toy line. I hope he proves me wrong but I’ve worked in the toy industry for 30 years & also worked for him at his ad agency & the demographic for that kind of product isn’t as large as he thinks.

[@Dwight-y9w]

Look good and cool love Dwight Jr 👍

[@alwxnstx]

Our first glimpse at a cartoon version Skeletor would have been the Origins Cartoon Collection reveal from SDCC '23, right!? I just hope they will release a regular single carded version with this line. The swappable face sculpts and hands are kinda funny though. 😅 ... and it's already up to explore on Mattel Creations.

[@jaygonzalez2389]

Hi Jay,I'm getting this! Not for the little goofy character but just for the orgins filmation style Skeletor and definitely can't wait for a orgins filmation He Man!

[@TwesomE]

As i understood V friends is some kind of collectible art category toys,and they made some kind of collaboration with mattel to see how this will go! I kinda dig up the whole vibe here because i like allot collectible art as a pop collector.And also as a medicom bearbricks fan and kid robot figure art style! The cute skelly reminds me allot kid robot figures,and looks like allot like kronk bones they also created! The whole thing that scares me the most is those animated scenes we just watched! Don't tell me that they are gonn amake some kind of a satirical take on motu close to teen titans go! Because this might be the real weird thing behind all this.I do however have hopes for this pack to be expected to europe as well and not limited editions and stuff because i a also a gitd fan since i ordered the skeleton warriors pack and still waiting as well!

[@Jasons.electric1.0]

Love it Jay! Good reporting!!

[@grimrtube]

It's great, I'll get it, but colabs end up being more expensive for what is already feeling prices are pushing the boundaries.

[@thetasigma1905]

$80 Australian dollars?? I think this will be the first Mattel creations I’ll pass on. I think I’ll wait for the carded filmation skeletor later this year.

[@Stygian360]

We were all baffled and shocked by this drop today, but in a good way. Can't wait for Filmation Skeletor

[@Dwight-y9w]

Yes look good to me okay love Dwight Jr 👍

[@Gkeese]

I'm down. I love it. Sign me up

[@chrisbcritter]

if nothing else - i am LOVING the new face emotions - this is great! hoping they’ll do a few of the characters this way… he-man, beast man (surely), orko, heck - even cringer - having a few of the more wide range of expressions…. they’ve seriously captured the joy of the original filmation series!

[@donnysboy1]

Agree! I feel like we need a worried eyes Orko and pie in the face Man At Arms 2 pack for sure!

[@OfficialEricElemen]

Imagine Filmation Cringer/Battlecat expressions on a toy? Dude

[@chrisbcritter]

EXACTLY!!!! @@OfficialEricElemen

[@mr.b9397]

Easy pass for me jay. I don’t need every version of skeletor. Good review!

[@sunnyshine2215]

The two pack might not be my thing but I’m glad they’re doing different collaborations to keep the brand fresh and new

[@geechie-don7157]

That’s a cool looking Skelly

[@VexNToys]

Faceplates for Skeletor should be standard going forward with all Skeletors

[@danziggy77]

I love the horns up hand and different faces ..but that little veefriend guy I couldn't care for at all....soooo not sure of I will get

[@knightwolfpro4494]

Some of those expressions makes me think of Ghost Face from Scream. Did they show more faces then we're getting in the set?

[@deflepmarc]

I like the filmation skeletor but not that silly vee friends figure they could have released skeletor alone with those extra accessories. I like the faces and the look. 45.00?? With that dumb vee friend, come on Mattel!!!! Not sure if I want it. If I get it it’s only for skeletor.

[@Roadpigjohn]

Looks good Jay but I wonder how much it would be...😁👍💡

[@deflepmarc]

45.00

[@Roadpigjohn]

@@deflepmarc Ok so maybe I get it because this is pretty much the representation of Skeletor in the Christmas special.💡😀✌️

[@captainfirebird4993]

Yes it 🤘

[@LVHAXOR316]

Wish they would of given these filmation figures bicep swivel

[@nostrem82]

if it was masterverse would definitely get it but pretty much done with origins have to see

[@danielespinoza-fh6ll]

MOTU 🤝 Veefriends!

[@Aikidouka]

I wish we knew is the swappable faces will be on the retail release. I love that about him, but I hate the sparkly paint job. It's kind of a deal breaker for me.

[@MaestroDrake]

Remember to skip PayPal.

[@13cdc]

If that is going to be the price range for the origins filmation line Mattel can keep them

[@OfficialEricElemen]

Naw, this is a special collaboration product. Regular retail releases will be close to what they have been recently. 17 to 20.

[@13cdc]

@@OfficialEricElemen I hope so

[@MightyD18]

Price??

[@themotuwolf]

$45 US

[@clintsaines9274]

19.99 USD.

[@kelnaress8298]

Sometimes I'm not sure if hes showing us figures or trying to sell us stuff.

[@davecinelli1068]

Move over Robin and Larry.

[@ryanvegntech]

This is almost as bad as the Virgil Abloh collaboration. It's a pity the Four Horsemen couldn't just take the whole MOTU license away from Mattel.

[@gregmartinez6387]

Damn FOMO

[@davecinelli1068]

I don't know why, but "Saria's Song" popped inti my head.

[@13cdc]

I challenge you to say GUYS more in your videos.

[@manimalautoman]

This is dumb. I collect Origins not Veefriends. Zero interest in whatever Veefriends is.

[@jonathannichols372]

You talk too fast. Over use of words “guys” “crazy”

[@DanielC.Kalodner]

Yeah, right too much nerd orgasmic!!! Geeking out!!! 😜

[@scockery]

I wish toy companies would realize most people don't like this mixing of properties in sets. I want GI JOE not transformers. I want MOTU not whatever VeeFriends are. And the annoying thing is, if you think you can get this and then skip the Filmation Skeletor next year, well, that release comes with a unique mask accessories from the cartoon. So...The double dipping starts before the line even starts. 🙄 I'm not ready for even higher priced exclusive after Lady Slither.

[@Rocket1377]

GI Joe x Transformers is a bad example. Many collectors DO want those to crossover, and they have done so many times already.

[@scockery]

@@Rocket1377 "Many" is vague term. They've done it 3 times at mass (online) release. Before that, it was some convention sets where the "transformers" were just recolored non-transformering Joe vehicles. Many Joe collectors I know don't really want GI JOE figures only available in those sets. In fact they'd buy multiples of some of those figures, but instead have to rationalize, if at all, the purchase of a crossover pack that is far from cheap to begin with. And, yeah, I'm biased. The crossover sucks. The comics sucked. The two properties are not a good fit. Never were.

[@brushstroke3733]

​@@scockeryAgreed.

[@megamike420]

I really love this Skeletor but not digging the little guy, he's neat and all but meh

[@juliocesarescamillabecerra7883]

Cartoon is not for me… waiting only for Conde Marzo and Evil Seed or others charters arent in Origins main line

[@TheWandifan]

Same. I’ll be getting He Man and skeketor because I collect all the variants and even make my own. But then it’s only count Marzo, evil seed, Queen Marlena and hopefully a second chance to get Kol-Darr in filmation.
