I didn't even know he was available for pre-order. 😅 I tried to snag him from Mattel Creations as soon as he dropped, but I was mysteriously blocked from the website while checking out and was prevented from adding payment. That was crazy and I still don't understand what happened. Mattel kills it with their exclusive packaging for sure! Roy Jaurez, the packaging designer and director, is so very creative and talented, and he is such a kind and supportive human being. I applaud him always. 👏 (and no, you're not crazy - those were magnets 😉 😊) I love the interchangeable legs feature, and I think it should be the standard moving forward.

I would guess aggressive bot protection. Some client software maybe be making additional http requests to sites, e.g.: in the case of browser plugins, that either show additional information about sites and pages, or even ad blockers may screw with the bot detection. I've seen ad blockers drop JavaScript requests and maybe one of the indicators of bots is the lack of JS. Not 100% sure, and not defending the MC site or anything, but it could have been anything. Heck, even IP address if you use something like a VPN to protect your identity. When I was an information security engineer (years ago) we got a lot of attacks from threat actors using VPN services, like Nord, so we ended up blocking, or at least carefully monitoring, IP addresses of usera that matched those in Nord VPN IP address ranges. Idk, coulda been anything, really. Maybe just Gremlins? Lol

[@pop_motu_75]

@toyboxnostalgia Ah, I see. Yeah I assumed it was nothing deliberate from Mattel. I don't use VPN but I do remember watching Mattel interviews with Pixel Dan about how they were working harder to combat the bots, as previous exclusives sold out astronomically quickly. Something flagged me - perhaps my last name? Like, this last name is so crazy, he absolutely cannot be a human. 😂 Though I actually do prefer to believe it was Gremlins. One of their employees must have fed them after midnight.

I agree. I think this is better than the larger Masterverse version. This version is £160 in the UK.

[@toyboxnostalgia]

Holy cow. That's an insane price. I don't know who to talk to (or how) to get Mattel to fix their supply/store/shipping/marketing issues. They surely are losing out financially and fan-wise imo and will continue to do so if the don't internally review their processes.

I got mine from Mattel Creations. It sold out so freakin' fast. It's a brilliant set. The box & artwork is worth the original RRP alone. Not so much the 2nd hand scalper market though. It would be nice to have a couple of weapons included, but I'm still happy with it.

[@toyboxnostalgia]

I agree. Honestly, it seems to me like $50 is an absolute steal for this set. As far as the weapons, it seems like Mattel just assumes that we have been collecting Origins this whole time and we have access to weapons, arms, bucks, hands, etc. So that we can use them with these new sets. I didn't do that. I (originally wasn't) really a big fan of the original Origins line and got into it recently when I started collecting the Cartoon Collection stuff 😅

[@lionelfernandez8880]

This is a review that I was looking forward to because it really goes into detail. And frankly, this Two-Bad Cartoon has everything to please (except perhaps the acquisition mode, not to mention your mind-blowing misadventure with Mattel 😅). The art work is absolutely magnificent, you could almost use the open box without the blisters to photograph or display the skeletor gang 😁 it's so reminiscent of the interior of Snake Mountain (or something like that). Even the booklet is super well thought out, with two reading directions. Everything is beautiful in this pack, and makes you want to create beautiful scenes, because even if no weapon is provided, the character is original enough to take different poses, according to what your review shows. Very happy to see, also, that Mattel took care of every detail, such as the sculpt and color of the boots and gloves. I wonder, however, why such details were sculpted on the joint balls of the thighs? In your experience this makes the figurine more rigid or not? In any case you offer us yet another review of very good quality, truly exhaustive and which exudes enthusiasm... And which makes you want to see even more with this Cartoon collection, definitely full of good surprises 🤟. So I hope that you will soon reach 1000 members and obviously more, it will be well deserved because it's so professional (why the hell doesn't Mattel entrust you with the presentation of these figurines? 🤔). Thank you for this video and for the rest 😉, I can't wait to have this figurine in hand in order to put it in scene.

[@toyboxnostalgia]

Thank you so much, my friend!! 🙏 Is there anything that you think I should change to make the videos better? I wish that I had more time to make videos every day. There's definitely no lack of content these days - too many new toys!! 😅😅😅

[@lionelfernandez8880]

@@toyboxnostalgia Honestly, I don't have any suggestions to make at the moment since everything is very clean and very detailed. But if an idea comes to me I won't hesitate to tell you, my friend :)

I would never buy that Filmation garbage. The cartoon was trash. The thumbnail for this video just proves my point, they look absolutely terrible. I didn't even like it as a child. They ruined most of the awesome toys I was playing with at the time, especially Mantenna. I'm still waiting for the real version of Two-Bad to be released in the Vintage Collection.

[@barrydavid6634]

the Filmation MOTU series was awesome! the Filmation MOTU series was not trash! I'd love to have the Filmation figures! I can't believe anyone would say they can't stand the Filmation MOTU series and say it's garbage! it's much better than the crap that's on television nowadays! cartoons nowadays suck!
