Opening Up My MOTU Classics figures Part 9 Talk/Reviews of BLADE, BATROS & KARG!

This is Part 9 of the series called Opening Up my MOTU Classics figures for Talk and Reviews about the Masters of the Universe Classics series of figures which includes the 1987 MOTU Movie Blade by Mattel Toys and the variant color Movie Karg by Super7 as well as the Filmation Inspired Classics Batros figure.

[@TheWandifan]

Another great trio!! Blade is such an awesome figure.

[@Themanchlid]

@@TheWandifan Thanks for checking out another Opening my Classics up review brother! That Blade figure was really impressive with all the details and armor!

[@TheWandifan]

@ can’t wait to see how they make him in masterverse and origins.

[@Themanchlid]

@TheWandifan I'm also curious how they will go about blade for the Masterverse. I haven't heard anything about him for Origins yet.

[@TheWandifan]

@@Themanchlid pretty sure he’ll be out for origins since they said they’re finishing the line. But who knows what can happen. With all these crossovers I have a feeling like they won’t finish the line or it will be years.

[@Themanchlid]

@TheWandifan I'm still holding on to hope that Mattel will finish up the vintage figures as all these Cross over lines keep coming!

Always liked batros. And karg ❤😂

[@Themanchlid]

@@rickytoddbotelho9555 Yeah they awesome looking figures for the Classics! Thanks for stopping in already 👌

[@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth]

Thanks for the video. I never managed to properly collect the Classics line, as I didn't get back into toys until later, but I managed to buy a few of the leftover Classics figures, for cheap on ebay. I ended up adding them to my Origins shelves, and pretending they're giants lol. Batros was one of the figures I have on my evil warriors shelf. By the way, that colour variant of Karg you have is taken from the Marvel/Star comic book of the movie (1987). In the comic, the bad guys have strange neon, colours, different from the movie, specifically Beastman, Blade and Karg (Saurod looks pretty similar to his movie self). Weirdly, He-Man, Man-at-arms, Teela, Sorceress, Skeletor and Evil Lyn all look like their regular (Non movie) selves. Very strange indeed. Whoever drew the comic certainly didn't see the movie first lol.

[@Themanchlid]

@@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth Thanks for watching and sharing that back info about Karg. I had no idea why they went with those blue colors for this variant version. I like the metallic tones with that blue color.

[@alastairmulholland2581]

Nice figures looking forward to your review of rio blast in origins looks great.

[@Themanchlid]

@@alastairmulholland2581 Thanks for watching as always! I'm looking forward to Getting the Origins Rio Blast when ever they ship!

Big Dennis Hopper "The Deacon" from Waterworld vibes with that Blade head sculpt!

[@Themanchlid]

@@ioncewasmikey Oh yeah! That blade head sculpt reminds me of that character in Waterworld. Thanks for checking out the review 👍

[@johnporter9073]

Would love a Batros masterverse figure. Maybe a deluxe version.

[@Themanchlid]

@@johnporter9073 I heard The Origins line is getting a Cartoon Batros this year. Nothing in Masterverse with that figure yet. But you never know. Thanks for checking out the review 👍

[@respektmyname15]

You’ll have to settle for another Man at Arms and Beast man

[@johnporter9073]

@@respektmyname15 lmao...you are likely correct. Love your profile picture lol.

[@ioncewasmikey]

​@@respektmyname15If they hadn't wasted their time on Revelation, it wouldn't seem nearly as bad.

[@2Bamosotis]

I always thought that carg is supposed to be trap jaw with his hook😂

[@Themanchlid]

@@2Bamosotis Yeah maybe they took some inspiration from Trap-jaw with his hook for the Karg character in that movie at the time. Thanks for watching 👍

[@sxhbk]

Rip John Erwin...very sad... voice of He Man

[@Themanchlid]

@@sxhbk I hear that! I always loved his voice for the Cartoon He-man! 👌

[@ioncewasmikey]

Did Super7 have access to Mattel molds or were they possibly releasing Mattel-engineered figures under their name during this period of Classics? It just seems like the quality of their stuff has really taken a dip compared to their Classics. I mean look at the sculpt detail & paint on Karg... no shiny, waxy plastics or poorly engineered joints (for the era).

[@Themanchlid]

@@ioncewasmikey I'm guessing Super7 used those mold as far as certain common body asthetics for the Classics line. Other figures they had sculpted. The paint and QC issues are the factorys Super7 used for a cheaper cost most of the time.

[@ioncewasmikey]

@Themanchlid That makes sense. Even compared to a lot of things they've made since, certain TMNT figures, the GI Joe Ultimates, their MOTU stuff just shines.

[@Themanchlid]

@ioncewasmikey Yes the finished problems are always from the factorys. Sometimes they mass produce figures and then they ship out to retailers or Preorders with all certain issues that was not part of the the final figure sample approval from Super7 before it went into production and the figures were tooled with assembly, painted and packaging. Then they get into hands of the buyers and that's were certain issues with so many figures have the problems that are too late to fix.

[@ioncewasmikey]

@Themanchlid I'm guessing that's what Bryan Flynn has said on the subject. I have to imagine if it's really the factory, then Super7 isn't really paired up with the best factories, because so very few toy companies, particularly higher end collectibles makers, have that many QC issues. I'd guess it's a cost cutting measure by Super7 to work with such poor performing factories, and don't have any idea why Super7 would find this acceptable if the factory is blatantly failing to follow through with what they've previously sent as a final approval prototype on so many occasions. Why would they not make a change unless it was tied to cost? For the prices they charge their customers, that doesn't really seem like an acceptable excuse. Sounds like they're passing the buck & blaming the factories when ultimately, it's their choice what factories they're partnered with.

[@Themanchlid]

@ioncewasmikey You said it exacly correct with the issues and Bryan Flynns response to the problems from what I watched with interviews.

[@heinzaut]

i think blade was meant to be triklops

[@Themanchlid]

@@heinzaut I don't remember if that was the idea at the time for the film. But I can see that concept a bit with the Metal gaurd and one eye patch or cybernetic lens. Thanks for checking out this review 👌

[@heinzaut]

@ wasn´t triklops some sort of sword master in the vintage line. also one of blades sword is very similar to triklops sword with the curved handle guard.

[@Themanchlid]

@heinzaut I ththe 200x and Classics line explained Tri-Klops Character the best. Yes he was a master of weapons, Martial Arts fighting and Technology inventing.
