MOTU Origins Turtles of Grayskull Mutated MOSS Man Figure Review!

This is a Review of the Masters of the Universe Origins Turtles of Grayskull Mutated Mossman box figures and accessories that is a Wallmart exclusive figure for 2024.

[@ZetZatar]

This is AMAZING! But my Walmarts haven't stocked ANY MotU since the Jitsu wave!

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, unfortunately, certain Wallmart or stores just don't stock or carry many figures. I have the same problem. I buy my stuff elsewhere or online from ebay if I can.

[@derburgermeister3215]

Amazing figure. I got my first two Turtles of Grayskull figures. He-Man and Mouse-Jaw. They are better in real life than I thought. Thx for the Review.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for watching and sharing your comments and toy haul updates! I wasn't sure if I was even interested in collecting the Turtles of Grayskull line after I saw some of the early images when they were announced. But once I finally got a few figures in hand and reviewed them, I now look forward to getting more! I think it's a good mix for the Origins, and the figures look really cool up close👍

[@kurtsnyder7546]

Another top notch review! I love the translucent green!!! So sharp! The flocked and this moss man have been home runs!!! This whole turtles of grayskull line is well done and creative. I love the thinking outside the box character design and storyline. The problem is, like most collectors, I don't have the $ or space to buy them all. Ugh. I will have to pick and chose. Who have been your two favorite from this line? Keep up the great reviews! Your attention to detail is second to none. By the way I loved how you broke moss man all down to show how he's assembled. Take care and thanks!

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks so much for taking the time as always to check out the reviews and leave your thoughts! Yeah I find myself becoming more opened minded with newer figures in the Origins line. I really like this new look for a Mutant Mossman in the Turtles of Grayskull line. I also am running out of room and I have to watch money as well. I'm glad you like the part that I broke the figure completely down. I felt it would be interesting to show that with the Translucent details with this Mossman!

[@TheWandifan]

This guy looks pretty cool. Love the head sculpt even though it does look like the Wolfman lol. It’s a busy looking figure because of all of the accessories and the way you can swap the Venus fly trap is pretty awesome. It’s crazy that there’s been two Mossman releases and Walmart gets them both. It’s like they have the rights to Mossman or something lol. I love the vein effects on the upper body and upper arms, looks pretty dope. And the feet look so cool. My initial plan was to skip this figure, but if I happen to come across it (which will kind of be impossible because I live in Canada and we don’t get these Walmart exclusives), I’ll probably get one just because it looks so cool and different.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking out the review bro as always! Yeah, they did an amazing job with this figure and accessories. It's very annoying that both Mossman figures are exclusives. Sometimes, places like BBTS and Amazon get exclusives after a while in stock. Or there is always Ebay after a while. You just have to look for the best deal with shipping. It's funny that the head looks like Wolf Man a bit. The over design, accessories, and packaging are incredible for this figure. That fly trap part is really creepy and unique. Hopefully, you can get this figure at some point online. That's always the best way. Sometimes 👍

[@TheWandifan]

@@Themanchlid most definitely will be keeping an eye on him online. I got some family in the states as well that I’ll ask to pop in and see if they can grab me one.

[@Themanchlid]

@TheWandifan Oh, you golden if you have family in the States. Once this guy starts showing up in more Wallmarts or online, then they can at least try to pick one up for retail costs. Then, of course, they just have to ship to Canada and whatever that might cost.

[@Creationmelodies]

Love the review I’ll be picking this guy up for sure🎉🎉🎉

[@rickbrunet2559]

Now this is a real cool figure. Def one to get!

[@Themanchlid]

They really went all out with this figure! He's one of my Mutant favorites now in the Turtles line. I'm glad to hear you also like him. Thanks for watching as always 👍

[@Thejesusmarquez]

I think those are the same hands and feet they're using for the MOTU / Stranger Things Demogorgon. 🤔

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah, you're probably correct now that you mentioned it. I haven't seen the Demogorgon figure in hand yet. But it makes sense with refusing parts for costs.

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

Yes its the same because its taller than the skeletor side ba side

[@luisg.407]

Just the feet but cmon now. MOTU is all about reuse.

[@Themanchlid]

@@luisg.407 yeah the Demogorgon is sharing the arms, legs and buck with this Mossman. I reviewed this figure before I got the Demogorgon in hand.

[@jacobstoner208]

I literally looked up your review to figure out how he holds the fly trap. I could not figure that out. Thanks for always being such a great resource! I really like this figure, he's so cool.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for taking the time to look up my review to Hopefully answer your questions about the setup on this Mossman figure! Yeah there's a couple combinations to use with the fly trap or head. This is definitely another interesting variant of Mossman. I'm glad to hear this review helped you out!👍

[@user-fm2zv5kk4g]

This figure is awesome! Can’t wait for prices to normalize. Thanks for the great video 👍

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah, he looks really awesome in hand! Hopefully, you can find one for a good price down the road👍

[@GrimDarkDude]

the fact that they have exclusive figures come with a build A figure part is insane to me. great review and fig tho thanks

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm not a fan of the whole build a figure thing either! But I guess they figure it forces people to buy certain figures they want and maybe don't really want in order to get those parts sometimes.

[@geffeternal741]

That's not Moss Man anymore. That's an Uber-sized Evilseed! 😮 He looks great as a new character by itself 😊

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, with certain parts on him. He definitely looked like an uber-sized mutant Evil seed figure now. Thanks for watching as always 👍

[@retrorandy77]

Interesting to see more brand new parts for this line. Love it or hate it, Turtles of the Universe haven't just been lazy repaints (looking at you Snake-men line) I'm gonna pick one of these up and try colour matching/flocking that head and feet for regular Moss-man. Those hands might go to Skeletor. Not overly fussed for it as it's own figure (like a lot of the ToG line) but the parts are all amazing for customising. Your review has sold me on this figure.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for stopping in to check out the reviews as always! Yeah.i think Mattel has been putting a great deal of new parts and attention to this Turtles of Grayskull line. Of course, they will reuse as many already tooled Origins parts as they can, where it make sense for looks and costs savings. I think it also makes sense to use certain Origins parts on some of these figures to make them feel like they belong in the Origins line and could have been part of the vintage line in the 80s if Turtles was around then. The hands and feet are different parts. I think they are also gonna be on the Origins stranger things demogorgan figure coming soon. You can always paint, flock, or modify these parts, as you mentioned, if you know how to do that for customs. I think the Turtles of Grayskull like has been very impressive so far and put out some really cool figures to add to the Origins line and Masters of the Universe story! I look forward to more. I'm glad you also like some of these figures and this new Mutant Mossman because of what you saw in this review.👍

[@OGTrilogy]

I saw a customizer pull off all the extra parts and repaint the figure green to make a normal looking Moss Man. It looked awesome and I'd like to try doing the same except I'll probably never find one since it's a scalper exclusive.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for watching and sharing your comments. Yeah, I had another comment on a customizer who is also gonna paint this figure green to look like a normal Mossman. That is totally possible with some work. But I'm keeping mine as it comes. I like the new Translucent mutated look. But it's all that you prefer. Maybe they will release a regular color variant. Yeah, the exclusive thing is annoying. I just buy my figures online when I can.

[@danielrecommends]

Very excited to get this figure in hand but with it being Walmart exclusive, I don't know if I'll ever see him.

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, I hear you on the exclusive part. I got my online. Theses are on eBay as well now, but for a lot of money. Sometimes, places like BBTS get exclusives down the road. Or even Amazon. Thanks for watching, and hopefully, you find a way to get one at some point 👍

[@darkkomet1653]

Looks like 200X Moss Man in some areas

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, I can see some of those details from the 200x design. Thanks for watching 👍

[@gamerbudd9431]

If you want Mossmans flytrap mouth to be eating somoene you could just put the head and a arm in the closed mouth and pose them so it looks like they are reaching out in desperation to escape rather than the whole figure for balance issues.

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, of course you can. I kind of showed that set up with Leonardo. I just wanted to see if the articulation can hold another figure in the air. The fly trap by itself throws my figure off balance anyway. It's not really a practical accessorie for balance. But with a stand or certain poses with another figure like you mentioned. Then it can work and look cool. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌

[@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522]

Looks interesting would great if they give him twoo. vine claws like the terror claws my grandchildren will love it thankyou for sharing

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for watching! Yeah he's really an interesting design. That claw weapon kind of reminds me of some kind of Terrir vine Claws concept. I'm sure your Grand children will definitely like this figure.👍

[@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522]

@@Themanchlid this is frome the smaller version of the toys like the 80's ?

[@Themanchlid]

@@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522 Kind of. This figure is from the Masters of the Universe Origins Turtles of Grayskull crossover series. Technically he's a little taller than most of the figures because he was the regular Mossman that is now Mutated from the ooze that's iconic with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. But to answer your question, Yes he's consider a 5 -1/2 to 6 inch size figure going back to the Vintage inspired collection of figures.

[@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522]

@@Themanchlid thankyou i apreshiate your help

[@joeflood5727]

Very good review, I appreciate you removing the armor and showing the light through the translucent plastic body. Do you think the purple armor would fit on mutated Ram-man, or is his body too big? The tentacles look like the same kind of purple as RM, he might look good wearing them

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking the review out! I always try to pass a light through translucent figures in reviews just to see the overall design and plastic color materials. I think it's interesting what they look like through the body depending on the colors used. Yes, the Mutant Mossman armor and tentacles can fit on the Mutant He-man or most regular buck figures. Mutant He-man just has larger arms and hands. Everything else is regular. Origins male parts like the main buck, waist, and boots. Only the Turtles of Grayskull Krang has all larger parts around for the WWE Andre the giant figure.

[@markheadley125]

cool and amazing......

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for the comment!👍

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

Looks great wish he hade twoo of the horror moss claws

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking out the review! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing once i set him up with the claw in hand. I guess we can always do that with the purchase of two figures once they become more available and maybe on sale down the road 👍

[@NerdRahtio]

Mostly skipping the line but I really want this one. Hope I can find one.

[@Themanchlid]

I think the Turtles of Grayskull figures are hit or miss for many people as well. I think this Mutant Mossman is a must have. He's really unique and fits in good with the Origins. Hopefully you find one in your local Wallmart soon. Thanks for checking out the review 👍

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

Whoever mutating with the use looks goes berserk frome the heroes realy like the mix

[@Themanchlid]

I also really like the new mutation look for this Moss Man figure.

[@zeemmarax]

I thought Wolfman as well when I saw the head. Hmmm.... Universe Monster x Motu?

[@Themanchlid]

I'm not sure if that was Mattels intention when sculpting the head, or they took inspiration off that wolf man design. Universal Monsters would be another expensive license to cross with Origins like I'm sure the Turtles licenses are. But I guess anything is possible if they think it can sell good!

[@zeemmarax]

Hordak/Dracula Trapjaw/Frankenstein Merman/Black Lagoon Beastman/Wolfman Skeletor/Mummy Etc

[@Themanchlid]

@zeemmarax You might be on to something with all those ideas! Maybe Mattel is, too! We could see them get away with certain character likeness with just the heads on the Mutant figures without paying licenses and calling them those iconic names like wolf man or Dracula.

[@FandomEntanglement]

I’ll be honest, I feel somewhat indifferent about this figure. I mean, he does look really cool, but it feels like there’s almost too much going on with it. I like the translucent green and the tentacles, and the Venus flytrap attachment is cool in theory, but it doesn’t seem very practical. I’m also not sure how I feel about the purple vine armor and arm guards. As you showed, the figure really gets weighed down with all of the accessories. The Masterverse Moss Man had the same problem with the vines extending out from his arm. They definitely went all out on making Moss Man feel like a mutant, that’s for sure. But it sort of feels like they only halfway thought out how practical the figure would be with all of those extras. And you mentioned that you felt Mouse-Jaw was just “okay.” I actually really like that one (only ToG figure I have so far). Combining Trap Jaw with Mouser technology is such a perfect combination, I’m surprised it took someone this long to come up with it! To each their own, I suppose. I’ll still get the mutated Moss Man figure, I just wish it didn’t feel quite so “clunky.” I already get worried that the normal Origins figures will break if I pull off the hands, feet, heads, etc. too often. If the pegs are even more fragile when they’re translucent, I can’t see myself really attaching and removing a lot of these accessories to Moss Man. Great review as always! ~Damon

[@Themanchlid]

Hey Damon, Thanks for getting around to check out this Mutant Mossman review and sharing your thoughts. I can see this version of Mossman being very mixed with collectors of the TOG line. I have read many mixed comments on his overall design. Most people like that translucent green effect but feel there is a lot of stuff going on, and it makes him look heavy or too bulky, as you kind of mentioned. I have to use a figure stand to hold mine up because he will not stand with all the full effects on. I personally like the creepy Mutant look for this design. But it's definitely not practical and completely different from the Iconic Mossman character we all grew up with! If it wasn't part of the TOG line as a slime pit, mutant Version as the story shows for the Heroic mutated conversions of the main characters like He-man ,Ram Man, and now this Mossman goes, Then it just wouldn't work right. So, at this point, I can almost accept and expect any strange look of the vintage inspired characters being Mutanted in this Turtles of Greyskull series. I did, actually like the Mouse jaw figure. But I felt it didn't have enough change to be worth the cost. It's just a repaint figure with one mouser figure. But it's still interesting for the series. Maybe once you get this New Mossman in hand, maybe your son or yourself will like the new design as it's very appealing to the eye!👍

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

Hope next will be stratos snout sprout and lizard man

[@Themanchlid]

I think the next figures for the turtles line coming out soon are Slaker, another Teela with Turtles armor, Mikey, Casey jones, and another Skeletor variant in wave 3.

[@HyperdellicDude]

I’m gonna have to keep hitting my Walmart!!!

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, check between now and the coming weeks to see if any pop-up!👍

[@t00lnin]

I think it's the Demegorgan feet from the Stranger Things two pack.

[@Themanchlid]

Yes, the feet and hands are the same ones the Demogorgon has in that two pack. I didn't have that figure at the time of making this review. I got him a little later. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍

[@ioncewasmikey]

Looks like he might have the same extended shins as the Demigorgon.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah I believe it's the same parts that figure will demogorgen figure will have.

[@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth]

It looks like The Thing creature. Only in neon green.

[@Themanchlid]

[@tatt4music]

The hands and feet are from the stranger things figure. Probably the arms too.

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, they are from the Stranger Demogorgon figure. I didn't have him at the time. When I got that figure in hand, I mentioned the parts being used on Mossman in the review. Thanks for watching as always 👍

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

I have an awesome idea for those tentacles. Gonna use them for a different custom figure. The fly trap head reminds me of Biollante.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for stopping in already! Yeah, those Tentacles can make for some cool customs on other figures. That fly trap definitely looks like the first form of godzilla Biollante. I have the Xplus second forn Biollante figure.

[@luisg.407]

I saw this today at one of my local Wal Marts but I passed on it. Just pissed at Mattel that we got a bunch of Sun Men characters no one asked for, snake men now this Turtles of Greyskull line, yet we had to get screwed out of OG characters like SyKlone and Extendar to being Mattel Creation exclusives. Just ridiculous. Im just hitting up the Cartoon Collection and Im done after that ceases.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your thoughts on this collection. Yeah the Origins line really is going all over the place with mixing the other Sub lines in it like the Turtles of Greyskull and the cartoon line. I like seeing the newer stuff mixed in with these figures. But I also want to see the rest of the Vintage inspired figures finished up first! Yeah unfortunately Mattel is no longer trying to sell those OG figures at retail. They will only be sold on Mattel Creations at this point.

[@Creationmelodies]

I really like the alt nonflocked moss man head on the translucent body with the purple armor. For whatever reason I’m not liking the translucent head sculpt.

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, I thought some people might like that head on the new body. That's why I tried it. I'd rather leave the figure as is. But it's always cool to mix certain parts to get the look you want. 👌

[@Creationmelodies]

@@Themanchlid yeah I display mine all the way they come also , but I still like the other head lol

[@Themanchlid]

@@Creationmelodies One thing good with the modern Motu figures like Origins and Masterverse is the capabilities to change heads and parts of your liking. The other head or vintage head design will always be the best one because of nastalgia and design.

[@Themanchlid]

Yeah, he kind of reminds me of the Thing from the John Carpenter movie. Thanks for stopping in to check out the review 👍

[@somarriba333]

Looks cool but I'm not feeling these mutated MOTU figures. Maybe I'll get Ram-man because I do like the armor, but the rest just don't look like who they are supposed to be. Mutated He-Man could just be any random character that is mutated. I think I'll just stick with the main turtles, Shredder, and Krang... Slaker too.

[@Themanchlid]

Thanks for taking the time to check out this Mutated Mossman Review! Yeah, only pick up the figures that interest you and pass on the others. I see a lot of other people mixed on this turtles line or the mutated figures. I personally like the new looks. It's feels creepy and different, but it seems like a concept that could have been figures in the vintage line in the 80s if the turtles were around then and the lines crossed somehow. I will always prefer the vintage inspired figures first. I hope we get more soon with Mattel creations. Shredder, Krang, and the main turtles definitely came out really cool for the Origins line so far! I can't wait to see Slaker in hand 👌

[@somarriba333]

@@ThemanchlidIt's not a bad idea. I'm at the point now where I can't be a completionist anymore so I will have to be more selective. Especially with the Filmation MOTU figures coming out. My money is going towards that.

[@Themanchlid]

@somarriba333 I second that! I collect and review most of the figures. But I, too, will walk away from certain figures I don't really like or want. It comes down to money, space, personal interests, and time and energy to review or maintain this stuff. There are many more figures coming to the cartoon line this year. I'm also like and invested in that line. I have cartoon Mer-Man and Stratos coming in soon. I look forward to checking those two out👍

Hello Manchild! How are you? Still reviewing the TOG Origins? I'm frustrated: We got f* by Mattel with limited country ordering restrictions for Rokkon. In May when he get shipped, we try to get one cheap from resellers. Do you need Mossmans? :o)))

[@Themanchlid]

Hello again! Yeah, I'm still buying and reviewing turtles stuff. It's the most popular thing out here alone with Masterverse. I heard Mattel Creations is having a problem with international shipping now, and they are working on the issue at the moment. They canceled Rokkon originally because of that but decided to go ahead a week later so they didn't cancel the preorder again. I read a release online that Mattel is trying to fix the issue, and they hope to have it done before the next same, which is Tuesday for the Masterverse Snout Spout at Creations and they hope to try another release of Rokkon down the road again. We will see, I guess. I really hope they fix this issue for you over seas collectors!

Thats not international (like mattel lie*d on f*cebook) - its limited countries -> even for long time creation buyers like us (we could buy/order every figure from our country in the past - if we are fast enough of course). Now look at the Ebay prices and cry. I will never touch another Line (Turtles, Cartoon Collection) if i am not getting the rest of the basic core figures - i'm not stup*id - this will happen again.
