Secrets of Preternia He-Man from the MOTU Classics line. Who is this masked man and his synthesizer

[@carnageunleashed]

Started watching this series last week and I’m finding it really interesting.

[@steelman774]

Just discovered it last night. I’m all in!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Glad to hear it! Lots for you to enjoy. Welcome to the channel!

[@ScareglowSkull]

Can’t get enough of these videos

[@steelman774]

I had a few (Ram Man and Man-E-Faces) growing up but as a kid I was not a huge MOTU fan since I had my StarWars and Transformers first. Still, as an adult I have really gotten into the line. The Netflix reboots were cool and I collected the Masters Vs Injustice comic series. Now this channel is right what I needed... when I didn’t even know I needed it. 😎👍

[@spectorcreative1872]

Well that is fantastic. And much more to come. Any reposts of videos are also most appreciated

Come on people let’s get this channel to the 5K mark and beyond!!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh man that would be great! Any help reposting these videos on your social media is most appreciated. Thanks so much for the support

@@spectorcreative1872As I say every time, Is it my genuine pleasure and the least the I can do! Every time a new figure was on its way, I felt like Ralphie opening up his present on Christmas morning! Truth be told. You had earned my blind support with the line. All things considered, I was happy for each and every thing you did. Having a background in business and marketing I understood, you did everything you could to make it work and please as many as you could.... One is never going to be able to please everyone, every time.

[@devastated_studios]

One of the coolest accessories ever, The Bionotops Blaster!

[@spectorcreative1872]

That was 100% the 4HM's idea!

[@peterrohloff6205]

This was one of my favorite figures in classics. I really miss getting that delivery every month. There was nothing like working a tough day. Then coming home to a classics delivery.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh i miss Matty all the time. It was a golden time

[@SimbasGuardWT]

I was able to get Preterniea Disguised He-Man a few Years ago. His accessories were a big part of why I ultimately chose to get Him.

[@spectorcreative1872]

And that was all deliberate!

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great video! Thank you! This was a great idea for a figure, one I'd wanted since first seeing the design in the 1987 mini-comics, and the accessories were just amazing. Someday, I hope to get around to making a modified version with a soft-goods robe for easier posing.

[@spectorcreative1872]

I"m always torn on soft goods vs plastic. In the end I personally like consistency as the number 1 rule.

[@JeffCommented]

A story so great, it's told twice.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Three times if you count the mini comics

[@atul43]

After you arrived on Jay's channel I'm genuinely watching every video lol

[@spectorcreative1872]

Well that is awesome! Glad you enjoy. Reposts of the videos are also always appreciated.

[@juanfelixsoto]

Can you make a video about how from a sculpt you get to the molds use to make the toys? My guess is that you have to make many molds before you end up with the ones for the factory, right?

[@spectorcreative1872]

Check out the video on "how an action figure is made". Let me know if more questions remain and I can make a follow up!

[@dwitefry4157]

The Binotops gun was great. I feel terrible becasue all of the effort and awesome that's in the Cosmic Key and I'm still more delighted about a bit off of a dinosaur. Also, this is well timed, I just bought a vintage Gwildor this weekend (no Cosmic Key with mine though, sadly).

[@spectorcreative1872]

Maybe you can get the key loose on ebay?

Who is the figure at 12:16?

[@spectorcreative1872]

MOTUC Mighty Spector.

[@PimpfDM92]

This figure is awesome I ordered it through secondary market early this year and still have it in package. It looks cool and seen it with it's full background story is even more fun. Do you think Mattel would explore this preternia idea with new origins line ? That would be a hell of a fun ( I know you don 't work there anymore, but seeing them release end if the original line like scareglow all may happen,

[@spectorcreative1872]

I certainly would love to see this, but I have a feeling Origins may not last long enough to do so

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

Sweet!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Yeah he came out great! Love the hood on He-Man

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

@@spectorcreative1872 To be honest, the comics you wrote you top of the list for me! As you said in past videos, it moved the story along and brought everything together.

While he wasn’t a tipping point for me deciding to subscribe (was already invested in the line by that stage) & I wasn’t that into all the He-Man variants, I did like him as an addition to the Preternia section of the line. Wish we could have got to He-Ro’s lady friend with the bow - not seen her before - and the Bonatops blaster was a cool & cruel tease given that we didn’t get the beast itself 😁

[@spectorcreative1872]

I so wish we could have gotten to the dinos. It was all the tooling. And no reuse of the parts that made it a bridge too far

[@sledgehama]

@@spectorcreative1872 Think how Mattel would love having Horseman designed dinosaurs all tooled up that they could then have used for the subsequent Jurassic World lines! Or do you think the Horsemen would have chucked in extra techno-organic details that would have rendered straight up plain dinosaur reuse impossible?

[@bobastu]

Haha... in that image, it would be considered a Triceratops by most parties. The Torosaurus has a higher back ridge, and two holes. The Torosaurus camp accepted the "baby" Torosaurus could have had a smaller ridge and that accounts for the Triceratops fossil record. So, as drawn, Triceratops.

This debate will go on for centuries!

@@spectorcreative1872 I actually do have a Mattel brand question. With the end of Toys R Us it seems as though the Mega brands have suffered, not really releasing any large sets. Is the loss of real estate (planogram) the reason?? Imaginext still has a good website for ordering toys. Giant batcave.....mmmmmm.

[@Halbared]

Is there that much debate over it not being a triceratops?

[@spectorcreative1872]

Among those interested, yes.

[@pblackcrow]

Why didn't you include part 2 of the comic with him? That would be logical.

[@spectorcreative1872]

We didn't have a budget for that. Mini comics are expensive.

[@robertwishin2868]

You may have mentioned this someplace before, but did Mattel ever have a script or artwork for parts 2 and 3 of that original mini comic, or was it planned more as "We'll make them next year when the toys come out".

[@spectorcreative1872]

I spoke to Tim Kilpin about that and basically He-Man would return to Preternia, team up with He-Ro to take on King Hsss and then return to his own time.

[@LacquationsAceptance]

I wish I had a better permanent job at that time. I struggled with finding a job. Now I have one and the subscription services for toys are not in service. Missed my chance.

[@spectorcreative1872]

One day you will be super rich and be able to pick up all the back figures you want.

Man i hope mattel or some cartoon cmpany will make a show for preternia i really want its history on screen, how the snakemen become humanoid snakes and i think the first rulers of eternia kinda age of dinosaur thing😅,then the arrival of the evil horde and he-ro these were the first 3 way war that i know snakemen x horde x greyskull & he ro, And i hope classics produce those dinosaurs they were great i have an old catalog of mattel that includes them 3 dinos t-rex,pterasaur and brontosaurus

I thought the Falcon was from Liv and Maddy?

[@richardgonzales8502]

Spector Creative He popped up in a few She-Ra episodes and that’s where I saw Him . A sort of Rebel Pirate Free Booter Who packed a sort of Thundar the barbarian sword clipped to His wrist... and I always wanted an action figure of him
