Secrets of the MOTU Classics Thunderpunch He-Man! History of CAPs in toys? Plus Mini Comics!

Oh come on Scott, the children of our era, especially us boys, absolutely loved those caps! 🤯🤑💥💥💥💥💥

[@oldb-1kenobi]

100% agree. I don't remember a single time hearing anyone was injured (totally different meaning today) with caps. Now, lawn darts and M80's...different story:) How many of our generation remember holding those mini bottle rockets...by hand...to shoot them off?

[@35TheDarkknight]

@@oldb-1kenobi Yup.. even firecrackers. The trick was to hold them by the tip very gently. I wouldn't do it now though 😅😅. But bottle rockets still do.

[@trialsandtribulations7181]

No kidding. Talk about clutching pearls. Caps had way less potential energy than a Black Cat that kids bought by the hundreds every 4th of July. The little sparkers that were part of some toys presented a much greater fire hazard. It's just pussification over time.

This was a great re-imaginging of the original figure. Loved the Thunder Punch effect piece, too. Would love it if DC published a trade paperback supplement of the last five mini-comics. I really enjoyed the Vintage figure, too. I dunno if anyone else had this problem, but my original Thunder Punch He-Man's backpack broke, but it was one of the metal pins on the wheel that snapped off, so I could only fire seven caps in a row, then rotate the cap-ring one place and fire the last cap. Heh. The scene where Luke says "I present to you a gift..." with Beedo skulking in the background on the left. Love it!

Man, I am not a toy collector, but I would LOVE to have this figure. I have to say, the job that you and the horsemen did was phenomenal. When you look back at all those figures from when we were kids, they just don't hold up to our memories (which is why I think the origins line is dumb). But y'all somehow managed to make the Classics figures look exactly as cool as they were in our memories. ...I hope that made sense.

[@mmarquez5765]

It does make sense, for some reason the Classics buck captures the essence of vintage MOTU that charmed its way to all of ua adult now. The Classics buck, no matter how most people claim that it is already outdated now, is still unmatched by the current MOTU Origins line (I still think soon Masterverse line will still not match it). Supet7 Ultimates! line is still harvesting the charm of the Classics buck currently.

Btw, how do the rights work when it comes to certain characters showing up in say a comic book? Like, in Masters of the Multiverse, it features movie He-Man and Filmation He-Man. Are those designs that Mattel could do and say they're Masters of the Multiverse variants? I know Super7 used some loopholes (such as concept art and various vintage comics).

[@spectorcreative1872]

Comic books are not considered entertainment (by management) so they tend to be a free for all.

[@ia5662]

Loved Thunder Punch He-Man, my first ever action figure and one of my only Classics figures I bought. I think his semi-translucent yellow sword is the coolest power sword in both lines. I can't wait to see what Origins does for him. I still want to get ahold of the New Adventures version, but he's so tough to find. As for the caps, I think dynamite is a huge leap, they are just small amounts of gunpowder really. I hate that something as innocuous as caps has become like brand poison or something - I still see occasional cap guns at dollar stores and shops. One of the coolest parts of existing in the 80s and 90s was playing with caps - still brings me joy today! Moms are unreal....and so are the neutered childhoods of these soft kids today

Thunderpunch He-Man holds special significance for me: he was the last vintage MOTU figure I ever got brand new. My grandfather bought it for me from Bi-Mart when we were on a trip over. A little later, we went to Fred Meyer's and I saw Modulok and wanted him, too, but my grandfather told me, "No, I got you the other one, that's what you're getting." In hindsight, if I had gotten Modulok, he'd probably be mostly lost by now! Will you ever do a video featuring all of the members of the Zodak Force I keep seeing in these videos? The one with the large torso reminds me of Sy-Klone

Oh I do miss the caps! While I did find a Rambo revolver with the circle/plastic caps, I still miss the ones in that paper line. It was so much fun.

Come on now, caps didn't use dynamite. They generally used "Armstrong's Mixture". Which is more unstable than dynamite. ;) It's a bit overly dramatic to suggest that caps were/are a safety hazard. It's certainly true though that toy guns in general have stopped being viewed as socially acceptable (for better or for worse), and that's probably the biggest reason for the decline of cap based toys. I would suggest it's probably also relevant that children playing outside unsupervised has also become something viewed as unacceptable, and parents were never especially keen on the noise and smell of caps indoors.

Yes, caps, the item that only hurt one kid in Ohio, so we all lost out.

I didn't like Thunder Punch He-Man, but not because of his vintage action feature, or Classics weapons. I didn't like the skin tone!!! It was much lighter than the regular and Battle Armor He-Man. But that's just me.

Well living in a cave will do that

I’m surprised there’s no mention of Robocop figures. Each of them had a backpack with a metal lever on a spring that used a paper roll to simulate gun shot sounds.

He mentioned robocop

Maybe watch again? I definitely mentioned Robotcop toys. Try time stamp 5:25

@@spectorcreative1872 My apologies, I guess I wasn't watching the screen at that moment and didn't see the Robocop reference.

Caps are dangerous now? No wonder kids are growing up soft.

Well better to lean towards safety first is what toy companies do with all the lawsuits these dasys

[@joverbey123456789]

Why are you so hard on the caps, I still buy cap gums for the kids at the dollar store they are not unsafe if issued responsibly. By the way my mother is a chemist and teaches earth sciences to children

[@spectorcreative1872]

I"m not at all hard on CAPS. Mattel as a company is

[@darkwoods1954]

CAPs are pathetic now. The click of the mechanism makes more of a noise than the CAPs do now. I don't know how on earth a kid could manage to hurt themselves with old style CAPs.

Not what they used to be

such bullshit bending the knee to groups crying about caps, you can't say it's not popular when the option no longer exists. hell with everything going more digital it might be one o the few reasons to really pick up a physical toy as a kid

Oh it is not groups, it is the lawsuits

@@spectorcreative1872 to have a lawsuit there needs to be something to sue over, kids removing and swallowing the heads of the figures probably poses a greater risk
