Which one are you getting?

[@Shiva-Kumar138]

Need Mossy & the upcoming Mer-Man badly

[@impuri7y]

already have everything but skel/demo (mossman on preorder...still) and it's driving me nuts i can't find him retail. i've hit my two targets a good 20 times with fingers crossed

[@thunderpunchheman]

I picked up both. It's pretty great packaging on the 2pk

[@joeycuriel]

ALL.

[@MantraX049]

I bought Sy-Klone

[@blackphoenix77]

No. There's never too much MOTU

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

You think all these exclusives are bad, try being outside the US xD

[@patrickhein6986]

And even not just the exclusives. As an Example: Origins Leech and Snout Spout were never officially released in Germany. Means you have to pay double or three times the normal Price.

[@Israseyd]

Yeah, having fun trying to get them in Spain 🤙

[@Convoy00X]

Just because you can't get them doesn't make them bad. Try being happy for people who have them.

[@Nediablo]

Preach!

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

@@Convoy00X Happy for the people that have them? WTF does that even mean? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard! We want these figures in our collections. We want to enjoy them too! Nobody likes being left out.

[@jacobstoner208]

There's no such thing as too much Masters of the Universe

[@justinmohan7103]

Never too much MOTU. Glad we are getting so much. Love the TMNT stuff too

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

I LOVE THE STRANGER THINGS SKELETOR!! they FIXED HIS EYES to look like the original prototype for origins AND he has correct classic hues even if metallic I don’t think it’s a wash. It’s seems more like a spray /airbrushing. With a wash, the painted colors settle and pool in the crevices … And special kudos for the artwork

[@truckrobo147]

Transformers fans with the annoyance of store and Hasbro pulse exclusives: first time?

[@MannEMar]

In the event you were unaware or it wasn't mentioned in the comments, Sy-Klone's backpack is removable

[@RealElMaximo]

It's pronounced "Slacker" because, as we all know, no Ninja Turtle ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley. Slacker!

[@Privat846]

Mossman looks like a wolfman in green.

[@mikepetersen7319]

There can NEVER be too much MOTU. The greatest Toyline ever created. The Skeletor looks cool, the Demogorgon is weird, Sla'ker is cool too but that MossMan and Syklone versions absolutely kill it. Awesome Figures. I think for MossMan they were a little inspired by John Carpenters the Thing and maybe the Swamp Thing.

[@HansLollo]

Pizza controls on chest? Cool! Detachable turtle shell? THAT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE, MATTEL!

[@Dublr81]

flame effects are kinda weird for a Demogorgon...they hate fire.

[@tonyrodriguez3226]

NO SUCH THING AS " Too many motu O

[@FandomEntanglement]

I’m loving all the MotU goodness, but I’ll admit it feels a bit much nowadays. When the first wave of Origins showed up at Walmart in the fall of 2020 a few months after my son was born, I had every intention of collecting the entire Origins line for both of us to share. He’s now almost 4 years old and we’ve opened up the first few waves, and he does enjoy them. But there’s just so much for me to catch up on at this point that it might be nearly impossible to complete this line due to prioritizing our expenses. Now we’ve got the Cartoon Collection and Turtles of Grayskull on top of finishing out the vintage characters… I love it, but it’s a bit much. And I haven’t even bothered with Masterverse. ~Damon

[@mikeywehling8729]

Great video as always, thanks dude!

[@aquataz]

Slacker is at least better than the alternative- Flasher

[@EdDIE-lt5wu]

This new format or series ton got going on Dan is great kinda gives me a Saturday morning cartoon vibe w toys thanks for all you do! 💯

[@EagleBot13]

Of the six Walmart's near me, two have a Motu section. What's the point of having an exclusive if your stores aren't even going to carry the line?

[@archmage7813]

It's even worse. Walmart The company doesn't actually carry it. Only a few exclusive stores are where it's all dumped. So you should be happy that even two of them carry it because not a single one in my region carry it. Walmart The company actually stopped carrying Motu.

[@Jarjarbinksreallife]

A 36 minute video from Dan about MOTU? Yeah I'm thinking it's a good Saturday

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

Too much motu??? I wish.

[@CringerKitty]

Not just Hordak on Sy-Klone's packaging...Hurricane Hordak! Whoo hoo!!

[@michaelwarwick6412]

I really like this new review format! Keep it up!

[@Jaconius32]

I want to see some TMNT Battlecat mashup. I don’t know if that’s planned or how it would be done, but I need it.

[@ljkelty1766]

There can never be too much MOTU, TMNT, or Joe. But it is getting crazy lately.

[@blobafettle9355]

Loving the Saturday reviews.

[@DeityLink69]

You can also attach the flame effects to the demoGordon's hands😊

[@MarkCerbo]

Unfortunately, the MOTU brand outside the US, which is mainly in Southeast Asia has been discontinued. Thanks to Richwell Prime (distributor for the Mattel brand in the Philippines).

[@TheMelvor]

So next season we better see Skeletor in the distance as an Easter egg.

[@django60617]

Pull back a little and demogorgon looks like Stratos taking a massive head shot,gory!

[@shawnlopez2317]

Ok, three things that absolutely need to see back in toy lines again.. 1. Lenticulars like Sy-Klone and Marvel Secret Wars figures with the lenticular Shields. 2. Heat Sensitive Holographic Sticker like on G1 Transformers and Battle Beast. 3. Full 3D Hologram stickers like on Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light and Supernaturals. That would make my day!

[@jacobstoner208]

I second this! I actually put a vintage hologram sticker on my OG sy-klone (who was missing his sticker), to give him that Visionaries vibe. It's a planet in outer space sticker, it really works for him.

[@shawnlopez2317]

@@jacobstoner208 Nice!

[@rolltide13x29]

Must be nice to just take a Saturday trip to Target and Walmart and find everything just sitting there.

[@jacobstoner208]

TRUTH! 😅 I have almost never had that experience

[@thunderpunchheman]

Hahaha, that face... We really really love the exclusives.

[@Stygian360]

How nice that you can walk into Walmart and pick up masters of the universe. I haven't been able to grab any exclusives for years because mine don't carry Masters

[@Starfig]

It's interesting, there's a clearer version of Ram-Man out there, which matches up more with this more translucent/clear Moss-Man. I wonder if He-Man has a variant too.

[@matthewmccullough1106]

Splinter has the Metal-boto torso. I bet Be-Bop/Rocksteady Two-Bad will have the other arm and other accessories to finish the BAF.

[@CineSalvaje]

If those are difficult to get for you in the US, imagine for all of us in the rest of the planet :/ Great video!

[@bee-beargaming]

I usually don't care about packaging but I love the stranger things packaging

[@retrofamilyfun]

They should have packaged sla'ker with a faker head too. Since they made armor removable. 2 figs in 1.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Yes Dan, too much MOTU way too much!!!!!!!!!!!! At least when I was a kid you had the toys from Mattel and that was it from 1983 to 1987! Until 1990 with the New Adventures Of He-man show and toyline! Today all these different waves from various toylines and crossovers LOL! Not to mention the prices!!! He-Broke-Man!⚔💵💰🤑

[@t-train7492]

That 200X Sy-Klome is AMAZING!

[@ExpertCommenter1]

Thanks for the video, Dan! Those are all cool figures. As far as it being too much...with past franchises that have come and gone, I think it's cool that Masters of the Universe is still kicking after all these years, in any form. But collector's really have to get themselves out of that FOMO mentality and limit themselves because it can be a lot. I know....I've been collecting for 40 years. I know how hard it can be. I collect many toy lines but I've chosen to focus only...uh...let's say mainly on Origins, lol. I mean...40 year collector here, ha ha. I'm still going back and forth about Turtles of Grayskull. I certainly wouldn't collect the entire line but I may go in and cherry pick some of them. Some are really cool and fun and others are...well, not that. We'll see. Thanks again for the video, Dan! Appreciate your work.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job dan with the teview

[@Starfig]

Sla'ker's what's gotten me to go and start buying these TMNT crossover figures. God help me.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

Maybe I'm a little weird, but this is just beautiful stuff.

[@donatodelgiudice5226]

Hopefully I'll be able to get Moss Man and Demogorgon in Europe, swapping their armors should make for great variants. Turtles of Grayskull really is the "New Eternia" of Origins to me!

[@WagesofCine]

I’m excited to find Mossman. One of my Walmarts recently removed any trace of MOTU with all the naked Stratos figures sitting in the clearance aisle.

[@warrennewman5325]

These look fantastic awseome vid Dan 👍

[@mattwrlh1905]

This translucent Moss-Man just reminds me of how they should have done the same for the Origins Green Goddess.

[@knuthamsun6106]

FACTS 😬 that was a big disappointment for me

[@bruiserbrandal]

My local Walmarts also have no motu section 😑

[@joeycuriel]

Skackers head on Leo’s body looks like a Trick or Treater! 😂

[@zacharyhawk4948]

I was going to through your motu origins videos and you haven’t reviewed buzz saw hordak

[@mikekz4489]

My Walmart doesn’t have any MOTU figures of any kind and haven’t for at least a year. Incidentally, no G.I. Joe either. At Target, the Turtles of Grayskull are not stocked much. Minimal space for MOTU in general. I haven’t bought any Origins style figures, but I would at least like to get the Stranger Things mash-ups.

[@colinmorton8074]

Great video, Dan

[@jackmissile]

How can you not love this

[@JAbell1966]

Dan, check the next aisle over. My store moved MOTU and GI Joe one aisle past where the blind box and anime toys are (same aisle as the bike rack)

[@TayTay77501]

Is it me? Or does Mattel need to release an art book of all there Motu box art?

[@seandaeley7079]

Good news! They did, “The art of MOTU origins and Masterverse!”

[@sunnyshine2215]

They definitely need to do a second volume! The artwork is so good and just keeps getting better

[@BobTheAwesomeBob]

Love the robo don’t know style studio

[@Clarkzarro7828]

Awesome Toy Reviewing, Pixel Dan! I thought those New Wave looked Fabulous. Very Informative and Entertaining. 😎😎😎👍👍

[@jamesaul3077]

Never enough origins!

[@medmar76]

I got the Skeletor/Demogorgon, and then I looked at the Snake Mountain, and realized that it resembles the Upside Down, especially the tunnel with the red vines! I can't wait for the He-Man/Vecna two pack!

[@Rocket1377]

I find it a bit rich of Dan to complain about stuff being hard to get, considering all the free stuff he has been gifted by toy companies over the years. He also has no idea how hard these exclusives are to get overseas, where we have zero chance of walking into a store and getting them, because Target and Walmart do not exist outside the US. They don't even allow purchases from their online store if you are an international customer.

[@anthonybernero9720]

@Rocket1377 he's an influencer. He's just as spoiled now as he was when he was a child.

[@BeefyBites]

You should try the Combo of the demegorgon head on moss man while he holds the Claw and Venus fly trap.

[@figureobsessive]

🔥🔥🔥 looks amazing

[@michaeljago4869]

Still not sure why they made Cyclone an exclusive instead of another minor character

[@AJDPharmD]

I absolutely LOVE the stranger things 2 pack. I think the upside down is a fantastic fit for MOTU, and is a brilliant way to bring a new evil faction to the story. You might have missed the fact that the flame effects can also attach to the demogorgon's forearms. I missed this when I first opened the figure, as well.

[@voraciousfescue444]

Finding the ordinary releases is difficult enough without store exclusives, so it's always disappointing when figures I really want are only available through stores that don't exist in my country... (I'm looking at you, Gr'asp). The aftermarket prices are just brutal

[@bookat69]

Really happy that Mattel kind of standardized the neck joint for the majority of the Origins style figures, makes for some great swapping like that swap with Sla'ker. I kind of wish other lines would do the same thing, just within their own line. Like Marvel Legends, the sizes of the ball on the neck joints are all over the place with those.

[@dr.aleccort1833]

That mossman could be in little shop of horrors

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

The Demogorgon figure looks great. It's too bad about t he ankles.

[@MarcoVisconti]

I am getting both Stranger Things, all the Mattel Creation exclusive, and the mutated TOG. And to answer your question... no never too many! As long as it last!

[@danielweeks5287]

I may have to get this just for my little shop of horror collection👍

[@DrDavidReilly]

I want to see Demogorgon head on Mossman instead of flytrap

[@Filmkid1000]

Do all the crossovers you want, Mattel. Just finish the freaking original releases. Please. With cherries.

[@oansun]

The red ring looks so goody on regular looking Sy-Klone. No one cares about it or really likes it. Absolutely would have rather had some fists to swap and not a grip hand for a ring thats going in a bin never to see the light of day again. The little tornados are a cute idea!

[@georgebusybee1497]

Great review....i like that two pack.... The need that stranger things figure😂 screaming face on skelator is 😮 nice

[@tompollockjr144]

I love that Demogorgon. Gotta find one!

[@kilroywashere513]

I played this video again, and the audio is working now💁🏻‍♂.

[@Jeflexful]

Remember the school principal from Marty's school ( and his dad's too) of Back to the Future movie? His favorite word is 'slacker'. That's what this name 'Sla'ker' reminds me of 😅

[@ForEternia]

Don't forget the same school principal has a MOTU connection. The same actor plays Detective Lubic in Masters of the Universe in 1987

[@Jeflexful]

@@ForEternia Yes, yes... that's brilliant! How could I forget that? Too bad, he has no connection with any of the TMNT property? Or doesn't he?

[@melkor2301]

17:42 the other deluxe figures with Metal-Boto parts are Splinter-Skull (at least body) and 2-BobSteady (rest). It‘s always the Target exclusives.

[@MnemonicSyntax]

Hey Dan, I'm new to MOTU. The Skeletor/Demogorgon two pack was my first Skeletor! I was wondering if you could help me with this skin tone for a possible match so I can source a holding weapon left hand. If you wouldn't mind comparing with preexisting figures for a left hand, I'd be super appreciative!

[@archmage7813]

These wouldn't be bad if they were actually available but Walmart doesn't actually carry motu origins. So having a Walmart exclusive isn't real. Target is very good at carrying an exclusive.

[@JAbell1966]

Check the next aisle over. My store moved MOTU and GI Joe one aisle past where the blind box and anime toys are (same aisle as the bike rack)

[@archmage7813]

@@JAbell1966 I talked to the regional manager and he told me that Walmart dropped Motu. He said they put all of the stock. They get into a couple of stores to get rid of it

[@tatt4music]

The domogoegon set it very readily available.

[@Nightshade794]

I got lucky and found Krang at our Walmart. But that makes think the others will have to he bought on eBay. Like I already did for Sla-ker. But the two snakemen are going to suck for how expensive they already seem to be on ebay. Was very happy with Sy-Klone. He was one of my favorites as a kid. And it's nice to have him again. The red ring can also be held in the griooing habd as a weapon.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

Can the Fright Zone playset be far behind with all that art work on the Cy-Klone figure package?

[@The_Ninja_Turtle_Himself]

Dan do you wanna like make a petition to get Mattel to make an Ooze pit AND a Slime Pit for Origins? LOL

[@265308]

To get UR figures 2 stands I rec' Gorilla mounting putty. It cheap n removable n will hold those down 4 display when they have annoying non flat feet.

[@actionfigures]

Being exclusives aside, I personally was really excited for the Stranger Things pack. The Skeletor they showed off had an awesome wash to his sculpt. On drop, nothing! Yes, the armor is slightly different in color, but why wouldn't they leave it? The He-Man version also shows the wash, but im sure it'll come like this, plain ole He-Man, unfortunately. Great look at these. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonl4883]

Have you considered breaking up these multiple review videos into individual videos? Then you could release them over the course of the following week. That way if someone is only interested in one of the reviews, they could seek just that one out.

[@kilroywashere513]

Your auto in your video cut out, so I have no idea what you said when you made your comparisons between the MOTU origins Sy-Clone to the MOTU 200x figure🤔.

[@tobiasraab1715]

Hi Dan! Yes absolutely!!! It's a wonderful time right now and we're getting so much motu. However, I also find it far too much and too quickly one after the other. It's no longer a matter of collecting; you simply consume the figures. Greetings from germany Tobi

[@deadmaninc0101]

I wonder if Sy-Klone might have been planned to be a Walmart exclusive at some point, but from the way Moss Man is still overrunning the pegs around here (marked down as low as $9) perhaps they declined it

[@DavesEmpire1981]

Haven't even seen a couple of these

[@danielweeks5287]

Moss man, that is.

[@MOTUJAY]

I can never have too much more to! 😂

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

Mattel could do another version. This one is: Slasher + Faker + Sla'ker Next one could be Faker + Salsher = Fa'sher

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

It's frustrating to me that Origins was always sold to us as a £10 mass retail line and it was for most of its life, but if you've collected the 100 or so regular figures and want to finish out your collection... you now need to go to Mattel Creations and pay extra, or else buy from scalpers with the inevitable markup they always put on.

[@TheDarkThunder]

Krang and Slakker are huge figures. I hope Bopsteady is as big.

[@illeagle9560]

Bopsteady? Is that a hybrid of them or just shorthand for both the names?
