Prince Adam & Sky Sled Review | Masters of the Universe Origins

[@PuertoGeekan]

With the swappable parts you can take Adam's gripping left hand and swap it with He Man's so he too can hold on to the sled with both hands.

[@evanprice7967]

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. And since many will get at least two sky sleds, they'll also have two Adams and two left hands (with two ugly head sculpts as well).

[@Strawberry92fs]

And I don't need a Prince Adam for my display, so that buck is going to be used for a custom. Probably a Galaxy Warriors Origins Sahaak/Cobra

[@MENTAL_on_Card]

You can, but looking at the video Adam is barely seated, it looks like he’s too big for it or something

[@PuertoGeekan]

@@MENTAL_on_Card I noticed that too. The figures sit very reclined.

[@nernatbentley3778]

@@PuertoGeekan, The animated characters on the show NEVER “sat” on the ‘Sky Sled’. They all sort of stood with their knees slightly bent, while leaning back a bit.

[@kieranshea6428]

I love the Sky Sled, but am I the only one bummed out by the fact they included Adam rather than an army builder figure or no figure at all? I like the Adam figure, but if you want multiples of these (which was obviously Mattel’s intention), you’ll end up having multiple Adam figures. Seems like an army builder figure (Palace Guards/etc) would have been more practical.

[@Rocket1377]

Hopefully they will release a full Battle Ram in the future, with both the Sky Sled and an army builder figure. A palace guard would be ideal.

[@kingkahn11]

It was absolutely a dumb idea to put a unique character with the sky sled. We brought this up to Mattel at powercon. They said that was a good idea and they’d look into it but obviously they don’t care about fan feedback. I’ll only buy one now instead of multiple. Bad move Mattel.

[@kieranshea6428]

Lassi Kinnunen But that’s the thing - they did assume some people would buy multiples. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have added the extra pieces to convert it to the bad guys’ version of the sled. So again, why not be practical and include an army-building figure instead? It’s just a dumb decision. As a collector, I actually would’ve bought a few of these but now I won’t. They’ve lost some money there. And I’m sure I won’t be the only one.

[@HansLollo]

@@kingkahn11 Considering this is marketed towards kids again, it sorta makes sense. But they could at least make variants...

[@jonathanemerling1071]

That's a really good point, considering they made the head on the sky sled swappable, people are going to buy a few of these and have extra Adams on hand. Man, I already dislike this line.

[@JoeBeaven]

They should do a smiling face sculpt for Adam. Also, I would've preferred a separate evil sky sled in the green/grey/blue colour from the cartoon.

[@robd1329]

No smiling face

[@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305]

This line is great because people like me that don't want to spend 50$+ on one he-man figure can finally collect classic looking he-man figures for a decent price! Edit: never mind, I'll never be able to get these

[@ScyllaWyrm]

I have to say it was a good call for Mattel to rethink their strategy and step away from stuff like that new head sculpt and basically no action features at all. The visual changes compared to vintage have become much more subtle and Origins now stands as a very.. VERY nice and comprehensive line within the franchise.

[@JBenderP]

The Battle Ram was my very first MoTU toy; I am really looking forward to it making an appearance in Origins!

[@AaronLitz]

I really just found out about this new line late last month. As soon as I discovered it I bought He-Man and Skeletor, and then last week I ordered Man-at-Arms and Hordak! (my absolute *FAVORITE* MotU figure ever since the original, which I first got when I was 9 years old back in '85.) I just now ordered the Skysled and Prince Adam set, and also Trap Jaw... and his looks absolutely *RAD*. I plan on trying to pick up one or two of these guys each month; I figure my *very* limited fixed income should be able to handle that much. I don't actually collect action figures, but this line just looks SO damn good with all the articulation, (basically they look just like the originals only BETTER!) the price point is within my reach, and because the original Masters of the Universe line was so central to my and my brother's childhood, that I just cannot resist these guys. I truly hope they sell well to contemporary kids so that they can have the same fun with He-Man that I did as a kid, and also so Mattel is able to justify continuing the line.

[@JuggaloDundee]

I love that MOTU is coming back bigger than ever, but He-Man and Adam's face look like they are taking a painful dump on these figures LOL

[@colt5189]

Yeah, everyone keeps screwing up He-Man's face. The only He-Man face I like is on the original and the battle damage version which uses the same head.

[@ryanangelastro504]

Idc I’ll take what I can get.

[@postersandstuff]

Constipator , new character :p

[@kagemaru259]

I used to have many of the MOTU action figures as a kid, and to me he ALWAYS looked like he was constipated.

[@wilywalttheurban80scartoon75]

I actually feel relieved seeing my Adam figure’s face in person. I wasn’t impressed seeing the face online but now it looks a lot better and will definitely want He-man now since both heads are pretty much the same.

[@SkotNealey]

on the bright side, the bend in the package makes it look more vintage.

[@Aearonjer]

Had the Battle-ram as a kid. Such a great concept/toy.

[@jvalerio1979]

Dan, do you think they make an edition of the figure with the vintage head?

[@picklechin1970]

Im happy that im finally able to get a He-Man and Skeletor, since these figures are way before my time, I’ve always loved MOTU, so its nice to finally get them.

[@keeganm.2010]

That’s awesome! I never thought we’d get toys like this based off the original show, especially the vehicles! If I decide to buy this I’d have to get two so I can leave one in package. We are so blessed with motu toys, hopefully the same goes with the new movie and series.

[@Emolga6274]

Why would u want 2 of this junk .

[@jeremylemings]

If I had to guess, I'd say that the battle ram will be released with its own sky sled eventually. That way collectors won't be forced to have multiple Adam's just to get the sleds. Wonder if they'd re-release the sled with a Keldor figure?

[@prophet924]

Great toy! Nice bridge between collector and kids. This is a better offering by Mattel than I have expected. It is a toy but it’s got enough to make collectors happy. Interchangeablility, flight stand, and blast effects. Very nice.

[@QBPhantom]

I just realized that Prince Adam seems to be the only figure where the hands are wider open for ticker handles. So no other figure can grab the Sky Sled and Adam can't grab any other weapon than his sword... 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄😳

[@danyvalle6597]

[@KomradeKrusher]

The dark warrior battling Teela is straight from the vintage Battle Ram packaging - love it. It's cool these are coming, even if there's no desire from my side to replace Classics or even just start another collection. It's a shame that scalpers seem to be hogging supplies now, but I guess this will work in favor of the line (re-releases of popular items due to fast sellouts which imply high demand) and in turn might actually work against scalpers in the long run. Here's me crossing my fingers for everyone who wants those.

[@carterevanroust]

Great vehicle! I gotta say that I like the shovel-like shape on the original a bit more, but it's a very cool representation. It's a good thing that you can actually sit the characters on it; that tends to be a problem with a lot of lines, like TMNT for example.

[@Mightymorphinninjaturtles]

I get the feeling toys are aimed more at adults than kids these days. There seems to be a lot of retro figures based off old toy lines, rather than new stuff. Kids don't seem to have anything today like what kids had in the 80s and 90s. Maybe that's why toy companies are focusing on adult collectors more.

I just did the exact same thing today. Not sure why they're selling it so cheap but not complaining. My local Target had nearly twenty on the shelf and only $15, same price as just a single regular figure.

[@Pugmaster97]

I think the red guy at 2:54 on the box is modulok cause he has the blue tights like he does and the same head

[@OzzieAstaroth]

I love these and want all of it. However, they've had plenty of time to fix the sword handle issue since the con exclusive set was released. There is no excuse, none, as to why they couldn't just make the handle slimmer or make the grip larger. It couldn't cost that much to remold either one. Considering they went ahead with the WWE line, it follows that all they would need to change is the sword's handle. While I'm disappointed in that detail, I still look forward to the line. Maybe they will fix things later on.

[@somarriba333]

A little hard to tell but are the skin tones on Adam and He-man the same? Can you swap the gripping left hand onto He-man's left hand and will it match?

It may be because I got a new wave, but my He-Man(same wave as LOP Merman) and Adam(from this set) look very different(the head, at least). One of the down sides of this set is that the support doesn’t come off easily(like the Wind Raider, for exemple). The features of changing the Sled are awesome, but it has no storage for the extra parts. Anyways, I got this for less(than the equivalent of) 26 dollars so I’m not complaining.

[@jorgelizaso978]

Love they released the sky sled alone. When I was a kid I never got to be able to play with the sky sled (that was probably the most used ship in the cartoon seconded by may be Attack Track) cause it was really expensive (At least in my country). The Sky sled alone for sure would have costed way less.

[@knightwolfpro4494]

Just looking at the sky sled, I would say they didn't design it with the intention of having the full battle ram. Unless they had the engines in the back slot in, there doesn't really seen to be anything designed to hold it in place, and even those would be iffy to me. I stil haven't decided if I want to get these new figured yet. I haven't seen anything other then Battle Cat in the store.

[@itsdantaylor]

I don't know if this was common but my Adam (that i got 2nd hand through ebay because i didn't want/need the sky sled) his tunic was seemingly glued on roughly from the belt buckle downward. I could PROBABLY have separated it with a exacto knife but didn't want to risk cutting belt and ruining the tunic. (UPDATE) So it took some pulling but i was able to get the vest off without ripping it along the belt (your kind of have to pull it down till it's practically inside out along the waist) I managed to pull it off the glue and it left a bit of pink glue residue but I'm sure i can scape/sand it off. So just wanted anyone else who wanted to try removing the vest that it IS possible.
