I was born in the mid 80’s. And so by the time I was old enough for figures, MOTU was pretty much passé and TMNT was taking over the world. My only exposure to MOTU was seeing them at friends’ houses. And the older brothers had them handed down to my friends. So to me they were these weird bulky, over stylized figures. And I was not able to discern them from the bootlegs I saw in drug stores, pharmacies, or street vendors. Long story short. I discovered this line much later in life and fell in love with it. Pixel Dan’s enthusiasm for this line is great. Thanks for this video and all you do. It’s great for nostalgia and educating late bloomer fans as well.

Becaus we don't wanted a pupet She-Ra for Girls XD and so i start understand you wanna get her! Congratulation who get her!

Thanks for making this video it was informative and interesting, I especially like the fact you showed original and this version side by side for comparison. Basically this is the version we should have and would have gotten in the 80s if Filmation didn't simplify it. The original 80s toy release will always be my personal "original " even though it's not screen accurate because that was the way it went down in history and the mark it made on the world. This version is a must have for any fan of the original series along with the 80s release. Thanks again for making this.

I'm really ticked off !!! I pre-ordered these figures from Super 7 and still haven't gotten them yet. That would be OK, except I just went to FYE and they had these figures ON THE SHELF !!! WTH !!! Super 7 should really make sure the preorders are taken care off before they ship them to stores !!! I could have these toys RIGHT NOW !!! Plus, there was so many of each at FYE, I could have picked the ones with the best paint aps instead of hoping Super 7 sends me ones without paint mistakes. ANGRY NERD RIGHT HERE !!! P.S. They were $19.99 at FYE (For Your Entertainment...a store in the mall in case you don't have one near you), so I would have payed less for these because I wouldn't have had to pay shipping !!!

I had concerns after hearing about the 2-pack figures breaking, but I haven't had anything break on mine. My only real complaints are that its hard to get She-Ra to stand, and both He-Man and She-Ra just seem to barely hold on to their swords, and they can fall out or become knocked out at the drop of a hat. Skeletor has a similar issue holding his staff, but not as bad. I love the "power punch" action. That brings back a lot of memories. Also, the Primal Age DC figures are pretty much in scale with these, which is awesome.

Great review as always! I have my two packs, singles carded and singles loose. I love seeing these fresh again. It's such an awesome blast from the past. I haven't been too rough with the leg joints bc I've seen some break. Some of the plastic is a little questionable to me and I don't want to damage them. I just have that feel with them that I have to handle them carefully. I don't know if that's because I'm used to doing that with vintage or because I'm afraid to break them. I just don't get the same feeling of playability from these. It's like my vintage figures could tolerate more action. Regardless, I love them and they make a great display in the monster classics Grayskull! Looking forward to MAA, Teela and Beast Man next!

I got a He-man and Skeletor. No real issues except some sloppy paint on the faces. I heated their armor pieces in almost boiling water so I could move them around and give them a snugger fit, and that has worked really well. The one thing that drives me a bit nuts are the hip joints. I am a bit miffed as to why they chose these swivel/hinge hips instead of regular ball and socket joints (like Funko uses). These just seem very finicky, and I had to take a hair dryer to them before I could even get them to move. Now that I have them positioned the way I like I don't think I'll be hinging them in and out at all.

Use a little bit of oil to loosen up the joints a bit. Those little bottles of oil that come with beard trimmer kits work great!! Just put a few small drops in there and it should work a lot better. It also lasts a while too. Maybe a small amount of white lithium grease possibly might be good for longer term use.
