MOTU Origins Land Shark Vehicle Review | Masters of the Universe Origins

[@ryanspengler4877]

The hollowed cannons would be cool if they snapped together to make one solid weapon, like the silver and purple swords...

[@BlamoStramo]

Or like kingdom galvatron's revenge guns

[@joeycuriel]

Holy cow there’s inner roof of the mouth sculpting!

[@8ByteBrian]

The landshark is so awesome, & just proves Skeletor is a pimp with his crazy vehicles riding around in sharks, dragonflies & spiders it's no wonder he's always laughing all the time! I really hope we get a origins Spydor! Great review Dan, such a fun silly toy!

[@Daveyj666]

I used to have the Land Shark back in the 80's, it was a fantastic vehicle

[@FNHot]

The new Skeletors head sculpt in a vehicle, looks like he's going WAY too fast and cant control the vehicle he's in. Like he's screaming in terror as he's about to plow into a tree.

[@PiercedJedi]

I was so happy to find Triclops and Stratos hanging on the pegs at my local Target Saturday when we went there waiting for a tire to be fixed at the tire shop next door, now my collection is complete except for the deluxe characters

[@HansLollo]

Why is nobody mentioning the missing button in the cockpit? The vintage had a button you could push to open the Jaw without moving it. The origins one unfortunately doesn't have that.

[@Rocket1377]

Thank you for pointing that out.

[@ordinaryman4223]

Both for the color and for the handle of one of the two gun I have always thought that the original Landshark was the personal vehicle of Spikor

Me too. I used the Roton as a Horde vehicle for the same reason.

my favorite vehicles were Attack Track & Dragon Walker! While Land Shark is cool AF, I dont remember it all as a kid!! I hope they do Origins Attack Trak , Dragon Walker, Roton & my very 1st original MOTU vehicle....Road Ripper!!

[@Charlie_5.5]

I like this Origins Land Shark, well built good feel to it. With the Sky Sled and Shark, they are 2 for 2 in my book, looking forward to future Origins vehicles. Good review, thank you.

[@Blue_Splash89]

MOTU origins is my favorite toy line right now because I missed out on the MOTU classics line . So this makes up for it for me . Playsets vehicles figures and cost$ So much fun to play with and collect CANT get any better than that

[@thirty3255]

Classics Skeletor does totally fit. You just have to rotate his boot cut so that he can fit under the foot board. By the way Vintage/origins also need the feet to go under the foot board.

[@Shiva-Kumar138]

Thanks for the good news !

[@thespaceram2879]

What if Skeletor has Zodak or Merman's feet? Can he still do it?

[@thirty3255]

@@thespaceram2879 Haven't Tried. I know that Trap Jaw couldn't be cause of the raised ridges on the front of his boots getting in the way. If I dremel out the top of the foot area I am sure most Classics would fit just fine.

It’s so true. I was in hopes that the first wave would sell and get the second wave. But it never came.

[@somatl420]

Two years and the line dyng under the weight mattel creation

[@iansweeney8406]

For me, the affordability of this line including vehicles such as Land Shark and the Sky Sled means I am a lot more forgiving regarding its minor issues. Mattel might have just struck the perfect balance between affordable toys for new generations and providing long time fans such as myself with an appealing accessible interpretation of one of the greatest toy-lines /IP's ever. My top wish list items in the line would be a classic designed Sorceress and an £80 snake mountain.

[@angelsimmons756]

Do the revelations figures fit inside ??

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

That’s easy for you to say, it’s weirdly the other way around where I live. All I see is the others and a lot of Sky Sleds.

[@kcnoise]

Exactly what happened with the 200X line.

[@thirty3255]

@@scockery They do make it to stores and our bought by more aggressive collectors. My store gets one or two cases a week. I live in upstate NY.

[@pop_motu_75]

Haha yep, I experienced the same thing! I received my Land Shark last week from BBTS and could not fit Origins Skeletor in the seat efficiently, but then was amazed at how Vintage Skeletor fit and displayed beautifully. This does not bother me at all, in fact this is my preferred way to display on my shelf because it looks so iconic. This is why you cannot own just one vintage He Man or Skeletor in your collection. 😂 I actually think it's fun to cross-pollinate the toylines if it makes sense and looks great. On the contrary, I recently added some of the vintage accessory packs (Mega Laser, Jet Sled, Stilt Stalkers) to my vintage collection and the Origins figures display them beautifully with the added articulation.

[@brianschwartz1372]

The mighty Land Shark will have Meckaneck for lunch, and He Man for dessert.

[@WebVManReturns]

And Orko for Breakfast.

[@steelcurtain187]

This is awesome. I just got this in and I think I’m going to leave it in the package, since it displays so well in there.

[@sunnyshine2215]

I hope Mattel do a Spydor, Battle Bones and Fright Fighter

[@zenbrown9692]

True the box art is cool but the cannons are ruined and the figure's articulation failed with this vehicle. The vintage Skeletor had to show the Origins Skeletor how it's really done

[@kilroywashere513]

I suggested this to another youtuber who did a video on this toy; I imagined if I had the original toy of this, I would of put Trapjaw in the driver’s seat of this vehicle, and you could do that with this new one too, but that’s just me, and thanks for the video Dan👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻.!

[@cheeno84]

Vintage Skeletor looked soooooo happy in his newly released land shark!😆

[@Cobralalalala]

Land Shark was the only vehicle I had as a kid, so I'm thrilled the new line has already included it. It's not perfect, but checks all of the nostalgia boxes so I can't wait to get it!

[@Reptelien]

i think the land shark was meant for battle armor skeletor. also this land shark feels and looks like a tmnt vehicle. as always another awesome review.

[@blindthief]

I owned this when I was a kid. This along with a Skeletor figure were the only MOTU toys my mom was able to get me at the time. I enjoyed it although what I really wanted was a He-Man action figure but unfortunately they were always sold out in every toy store. I remember bringing Skeletor to school every now and then when the teachers would allow it. The most popular opinion among adults was that they were worried that I would join a dark cult due playing with a toy that appeared demonic. 😂

[@hannibalking6366]

It's funny when you discuss how kids will like it and how its kid friendly lol only because MOTU Origins is basically impossible to find and these wont end up in kids rooms across north America like when we were kids. These were clearly marketed towards adults and that's no doubt why the distribution is complete garbage. Most people will only ever Experience these things Here on your channel lol. It's crazy cause its Mattel... but you can find McFarlane and Jazwares which is a newer company everywhere. The line is awesome but $60 for Scareglow and $200 for Castle Grayskull is ridiculous. Mattel should have just partnered with Scalpers instead of Walmart cause Walmart made it a 3 way lol. Great Video!

[@TalesOfIsolation]

thanks for showing us what the landshark looks like with Classics Skeletor- was EXACTLY why i watched this and got exactly what i was looking for- great stuff!! darn shame tho, was reeeeeally hoping it would gel well with classics, this was a massive want for that line!

[@timothyhance4044]

I'm not collecting the origins line but I did get the landshark to put with my classics it scales pretty good and adds an extra to the shelf

[@ia5662]

my one and only vehicle as a kid from MOTU and what a cool one! I was so pumped to see that this was being released again in Origins and it's definite buy, great review as always Dan

[@bridazzel7588]

Nice review Pixel Dan I wish Masters of The Universe Classics released the Land Shark.

[@Skyescavernlibrary]

Agree completely.

[@syadkir]

People complain about sitting figures, just turn the calves/shins around, it gives them the best pose. Looks a bit weird but compensates for the lack of an ab crunch.

[@egrocket94]

“Maybe some kids will be able to get this” yea right.

[@lesserz6310]

Never had this or the Roton. But out of the two, I've always preferred the Landshark more. I want to get this.

[@Shiva-Kumar138]

I wish this came in Classics. Land Shark is one of favourite evil warriors side vehicle & definitely it should have been done way earlier. Classics Skeletor deserved it ! Regardless, we got modern Land Shark none the less !! Awesome review Dan... I am sure you would have felt the same.

[@squirejj224]

[@gianluca.pastorelli]

Yeah, I watched your great review a few days ago, but I was still wondering how the Land Shark would look with a Classics figure. I always thought that making it oversized would allow it to fit in the Classics line... too bad that's not really the case. Turns out it doesn't work perfectly with the Origins figures either, but looks awesome with the vintage ones

[@AintNobodyAtAll]

If I remember right, the engine cover doesn't actually come off of the vintage one, but it's on a hinge that you can kind of swing open. The mold of the new one looks like it's done that way, but it sounds like it's glued down. Does the seat back come off of the new one?

[@josephb7594]

Looks awesome! Will we be getting a review of that Origins Stratos we briefly saw?

Buongiorno Signor Dan sono Fabio è sono un collezionista di Masters of the Universe. Volevo chiederti una cosa il cannone montato è differente da l'altro cannone con le bocche di squalo. È un difetto di fabbrica oppure no? Devono essere differenti? Grazie mille e buona giornata. Se mi dà una risposta in italiano.❤️❤️🙏🙏😘👍

Dan, a question? What that hole in the box, what was supposed to go or come there?

[@matthewhobbs81]

Dan, love the review. And I just want to say thank you for all the content you put out.youre knowledge of the motu history is awesome, and after watching your unboxing of grayskull, I actually pre ordered mine from bbs, as well as bought origins he man and skeletor today, to begin my origins collection. I owe the motivation to you good sir, so I thank you again!

[@handznet]

The Packaging is awesome. The toy is bit cheap looking but it is a toy - so it’s probably ok. This line could have been awesome but the figures...oh my, can’t stand the skeletors heads. BTW, It is really crazy how many MOTU toy lines they created already. I think classics are still the best and it is sad it is over.

[@NitroCigarette]

The hollow guns really confuse me. They already have a split mold, to mold both sides of the gun, one for each side. So why not... just make that a solid mold and two two guns? It would cost almost nothing extra, and the guns would look far nicer.

[@azdramallama8497]

Can you switch out the vintage blasters with the Origins blasters?

[@eltenda]

So far other than be hard to find I love the series

[@GASH_one]

Does some one has a weird half moulded handle on the blue part on the right side? I saw it in another video. Just like Merman's sword, some people have an issue with that. I don't know why this occurs.

[@redadamearth]

The guns on the original are definitely better. But apart from that, it's not a bad re-do and cool that they made it a bit larger - but yeah, they really went low-rent on those side guns. Hollowing them out like that was definitely a "we'll save money" decision.

[@MistaJonz]

Bring on Attack Trak and Dragon Walker!!!

[@roguehorncellar6115]

There is definitely an issue with the new rigid articulations. They are part improvement and part flaw for natural movement. We need a high breed

[@benflay6038]

Thankyou you pointed what I noticed hollow guns lack of manual button engine detail it's not as good as original Would it work if take boots off ? Just sorry 40 year old toy is better this for me is the problem it's the poor cousin Someone removed the feet boil pop to get classics to fit

[@johnhammertron]

It's a shame about the hollowed out cannons and the kid friendly teeth. I will probably pick this up, if I can ever find it. I hope Mattel and the retail stores can make these more easily available. I would think this line could last many years if people are able to more easily find it. Those pictures would make wonderful posters to hang on the wall as long as they are big enough. I hope they get through all the originals and prototypes. Is it likely that they'll make some new and original vehicles and character action figures?

[@Rocket1377]

Mattel has said that they do plan on making new characters. I'm hoping we will get those skeleton troopers from the Castle Grayskull boxset.
