Roboto Action Figure Review | Masters of the Universe Origins

[@stevebragg4256]

Not only did he have those two gear viewable from the back on the vintage, but the red heart was also a nice touch back then.

[@garymichael6899]

I seemed to remember this as well!!

[@MrHemanclix]

absolutely. and when you work the gears his heart slides up and down. it was an important story point for him too. (I don't remember exactly who) stole the heart out of him and he became a bad guy, until he got it back. very sad that this isn't included. I'm considering cracking my Son's open (whenever we eventually get it) to mod that feature in there. 🤔 shouldn't be too hard unless the arm sockets really get in the way, which I doubt. sucks that I'm considering having to mod a fig straight out of the box 😒

[@wumpus976]

@@MrHemanclix you could buy two.

[@TwesomE]

It is really sad they got lazy in this figure since they worked so good to make more joints in those figures as a renewed feature in all the series.Maybe i believe they cost would be a little higher in general who knows! :(

[@misterasterisco5217]

Origins has made some huge mistakes like not including a less than 1 dollar mini heart... or figures not rotate/punching they used to do in the vintage line... not paying a human translator it's also such a huge fkn bad sense of saving bucks, cmon, it's not that expensive even to use google translator Mattel!

[@coreyharmon6999]

He's also missing his "heart." If you look between the back gears and front gears on the vintage Roboto, he has a heart attached to his neck peg. Sad that he doesn't have it on the new one.

[@IuriFiedoruk]

That is the most shameful thing on this figure. The heart was an incredible detail on the original for kids to understand that, besides being a robot, he had a soul and kindnes.

[@coreyharmon6999]

@@IuriFiedoruk Yup. Man-at-arms gave it to him so he could have emotions and understand/relate to living things.

[@Rocket1377]

He really needed that heart. Without it, he's just a robot that Skeletor can control.

Awesome review, great to have you back and in top form. Agree the back needed the colored gears or the Heart the Classics had. Other than that great figure, now if we can just get Wave 2&3 distribution going in the US.

He is not just missing the gears on the back, more importantly, he is missing the heart from the vintage figure that Man-at-arms gave him.

[@sunnyshine2215]

After having this figure in hand for a month and never being a Roboto fan in any form or toyline, I think this version might be in my Top5 so far. He’s a well made and very retro figure and is so much fun. I love the flapping visor every time his gears move😂

[@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305]

[@rayvinson1414]

@@RoyceLovesHisShotgun I’m here in The Dallas area with pretty much the same results. In fact when the line dropped all I could find for the first month was He-Man, Skelator, and Man at Arms. Everyone one else was snagged up or in some stores just one to a case. The only sky sled I found was missing the Prince Adam. Hopefully after the exclusivity runs out these figures become easier to find.

[@ahmadjoyner1175]

Nice review. One of my favorites as a child. Another thing missing from Roboto is the heart in between the upper gears. That was to show Roboto had a human side (or that's what I thought when I was younger).

[@inazumanfrash]

I would advise not to pop the arms off because the disks in the shoulder can come loose and it can become very difficult to put back in.

[@sj_harris]

Glad you’re back and feeling better P’ Dan

[@mattstrom5348]

Just opened a vintage on the card Roboto today and got a powdered red dye from the legs, paint, staining my finger tips!

[@seanlavoie2]

9:36 That silver boot on the vintage one will clean off and become silver again. I don't remember the exact details about the issue, but I've tested it out on my figure and it works.

[@r.josephgrundy1706]

Would it be weird of me to notice that his "heart gear", is missing as well?!? I used to enjoy looking at that little detail. Oh well, still a nice interpretation of the classic!

[@bubbastoybox6101]

Great video. Looking forward to Robot-o now. His action feature really takes me back! Mattel is really treating us with some awesome toys.

[@itsdantaylor]

I had a slight issue with mine. I think because of the clear plastic box pieces on the chest, the inner workings aren't as secure as they could be, so removing one of his arms made the connecting peg in the body to become misaligned and I couldn't get the arm back in. I had to use tweezers to squeeze the chest pieces together through the arm hole so I could re-insert/connect the arm. Now I'm afraid to remove/swap it because I may not be able to get a arm back in.

[@magicalbass1]

You can fix the vintage color with a magic eraser and water its just the red lacquer paint that leaked onto the silver. I was hesitant at first but it works and you can scrub it hard to take the red off.

[@Liquidcadmus]

the head sculpts on some of these are a little weird but it's a great line and it's so nice that they have the original action features

[@Cobralalalala]

I still remember getting Roboto when I was 3 or 4. It was Fourth of July, and the best place to view the fireworks back then was at the mall. So we got there a little early and I got to go to Kay Bee Toys. I'm pretty sure I lost the alternate weapons that night. I'm definitely getting this one ASAP.

[@theboundaryedge3926]

What do you think of the overall value of these origins figures Dan?

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great review! Thank you! I miss the "circuit boards" from the Vintage version, too. But I'd love to see someone take a Molotow Liquid Chrome pen to the "silver" parts on this guy, though.

[@TheNewSam]

These are already hitting near me (in Canada) but the entire line has just been so very hard to find. I've been lucky enough to score a few at retail, and a few more at a not-unreasonable markup, but some prove more elusive than others, and scalpers are killing the joy. Here's hoping I find this wave

[@markmichel3855]

I just watched “happy birthday Roboto” so this is great

[@johnhammertron]

Ah, the international release. Thats why there is no "20" in the upper left corner on the front of the card. I'm still looking for wave 2. and the Prince Adam and Sky Sled. I'm also still looking for the Masters of the WWE Universe wave 3 action figures. What? No comparison with the MOTU Classics or the 200X version?

[@avg8056]

Roboto was one of my favorite figures growing up. Just got this version in the mail the other day. Was so disappointed to see his heart and the back gears weren't included. So bummed.

[@mwytrykus]

That’s exactly how my vintage Roboto’s legs look. It’s so sad He was always one of my favorites.

[@solidoptimus0129]

[@JBird401]

[@tycondrius23]

very cool , I'm looking forward to all the ones from this wave. interestingly when I saw how detailed the arms are I can totally see them reusing them to make a new adventures style skeletor in classic vintage look !

[@abinyturbo4x476]

They should use the English version for international release. I am from Germany and would like to get those.

[@Nintality]

You can clean the vintage legs with water and a cloth it will make the boots silver again. Pretty much like they where back then

[@baggywhiskers]

My cousin had this action figure when we were little kids. I remember the one he had having liquid in it along with the gears.

[@dairuggerxvvoltesfifteen8756]

Dunno why but I’ve always perceived Roboto as a combination of RoboCop with the mouth of the ducks in Disney’s Ducktails

[@joeblevins1061]

Great video! Roboto with human arms is the stuff of nightmares! It looks like he tore the arms off a human and stuck them on himself.

[@sunnyshine2215]

Got my Roboto yesterday, was going to skip him seeing as we only got the Club Grayskull one in January but I couldn’t pass once I saw him on the pegs. The bright colours and crisp plastic see through torso was very nostalgic!

[@wumpus976]

If anyone wants to try and fix the back gear and heart problem, I think I have an idea. So, first you cut the torso in half along the seam. Split the torso open as carefully as possible and take it apart. Attach the heart and gears to the metal rods, (you’re probably gonna want to use a broken vintage Roboto for those parts, or you can sculpt and paint them) I don’t know if that’s actually possible, but I have a feeling someone’s gonna manage to make it.

[@judefaber]

[@raynekraven]

the mouth piece on mine doesnt move :( and the head swirl on the plastic matches yours :)

[@ShadowACE1998]

If I had to guess why the extra gears and heart are missing from this toy it would be tooling costs. I've been watching a lot of Spector Creative's videos and he said tooling costs were the reason action features like this weren't in the MOTU Classics line. Every piece of plastic costs money. The more complex the toy, the more it costs to produce. When the vintage Roboto came out MOTU was a bona fide hit outselling both Barbie and Hot Wheels, so Mattel knew the increased production costs would be offset by the profits the toy-line was producing. This line is still new. Wave 1 has just his stores and I don't even think Mattel knows if it's profitable yet. The fact that we got this much tooling this early shows confidence on the part of Mattel. Not to mention It may mean a Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor could be coming in the future. I really hope so.

[@Pegwarmers]

Good to see you back in the saddle Dan!

[@TheBuntra8061]

[@extremesegaa9239]

[@germanyretrotoys9444]

the silver is not really nice but now all manufacturers choose it because it is cheaper to produce silver marble directly without painting, you have to get used to it also gold is made that way I would have found paint better but it is now like that, Germany was the first country Wave 3 got

[@sethious1]

3rd wave....I haven't even seen even 1 figure for 2nd wave at any walmart. Cant wait till the exclusivity is lifted

[@Dmdirmrjr33]

They got millions of wave 1 they have to get rid of first before putting wave 2

[@wonderwaffle93]

It’s the opposite here, we got flooded with Wave 1 but have yet to get anyone outside of that for months now. It’ll probably be like that till those sell

[@opinian1068]

Wait....what?? How'd you get one already? Honestly I like the vintage one better. The silver looks unblended and cheap. But overall I dig this new line.

[@8ByteBrian]

The big problem is not only is he missing the two back gears cosmetically, it also hinders the action feature. The original Roboto had a very smooth mouth action when turned, but now it's just very small weird movements due to a cheap gear inside. I also don't like the metal pins holding the gears in from the front, they're very distracting & take away from the look & feel of the figure. Still very cool, just could have been a little bit better.

[@jeremyburdge8573]

The Origins figure is missing his heart and you right the two gears in the back but cool other wise.
