Thanks for another great review! You’re literally the only reviewer that swaps figure parts for fans of customs though it’s not my thing it’s enjoyable to watch how some swapping can enhance certain figures looks. Thanks again!
I also appreciate you stopping in to see this review! What's funny is that I don't really enjoy swapping all those parts and combinations out. Some things are cool. But aside, a certain head change. I don't usually mix too many parts. Many people like to see the parts or custom ideas between certain figures from the comments I got a long time ago when I started reviewing Origins or Masterverse. So now I will try certain things when I can between figures in the reviews.
I appreciate you stopping in to see the review! Yes it's Skeletor repaint that I also rolled my eyes with the early images, but then once I got him in hand I thought he was really cool like the Snake armor He-man figure👍
I just got this guy because of the Snake Lair reveal! His weapon is so weird. Would've been better if it was just straight. Here for the comparisons and stuff lol
@WhiteLongSword7 Nice pick-ups on this Snake Armor Skeletor. I think it's interesting that the Origins put one in the line. I had the 200x version. I tried to compare what I could in this review. Thanks for checking out this review👍
Lol. Yeah right! I think it was originally suppost to be a giant blade cutter but didn't articulate. Now it looks like a vacuum cleaner or weed wacker, lol. Thanks for stopping in to see the review✌️
This wave 12 is finally only about to arrive in Malaysia actually. In approx 1-2 weeks time. Can't wait! We also only now receiving Wave 11 as well. I am expected to receive 11 and 12 together in 1-2 weeks from now
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! Yes I heard areas of Maylasia might be getting wave 12. I know wave 11 didn't get to Maylasia first. But it's cool if you can get access to both of these waves soon👌
This is a legit awesome figure! I can't wait to get my order in on this one. I totally agree about the hands on the origins figures having trouble holding their weapons properly.
Thanks for stopping by as always to check out the review! I really am enjoying a lot of these Skeletor and He-man variants in the line. This Snake armor Skeletor is really cool because of the Newer Head and Snake armor he comes with. Im Glad you are like the figure and your forward to getting one down the road! Yes the hands on so many Origins are to soft and the fingers could have been longer. So many weapons fall out of the hands. The Vintage never had that problem.
@@TheWandifan I forgot about that He-man in the 200x. I think he came with that Snake armor Skeletor in a two pack. Its definitely possible! They also announced 200x king Randor, Snake Teela and Snake Man a arms for Origins this Spring✌️
@@Themanchlid I’m skipping Randor because I already have the first origins release with some custom accessories and I’m running out of space on the hero shelf lol. Only grabbing He Man and Skeletor variants cause I still have plenty of room on that shelf. Snake Teela and Man at Arms I’m definitely getting as well. For my snake men shelf lol.
@@TheWandifan Yeah I'm not excited for another Randor. The first Origins one is enough for me to. I'm also waiting those Snakemen variants. Space and money sucks! It's always a fight just to collect some more toys! Lol
Awesome review!!! I have Hypno coming in and I'm pretty excited. At first the Sun Goons annoyed me. Now I love them because of their dollar store looks. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! I seen Hypno on the Paulmart store. He also still has this snake armor Skeletor. I didn't buy the Hypno figure. It sold out fast when I went out. I have a couple Sunman figures. But I don't think I'm collect them all. I'm trying to focus on the Motu stuff itself because of money, space and what I grew with! But if you like the Sunman figures, then that's great! More colorful muscle characters to mix with your collection! I really like this Skeletor Variant! The head and armor are really cool👍
I was really impressed to see al those figures in my Target! I buy most stuff online to get figures early to my channel for reviews. But I do enjoy The old school toy Hunts!
Mattel has plenty more figures to go. Spikor, Moss Man, Two-Bad, Syclone and would like like to see Rio Blast, Extendar and anything from the Preternia line that was canceled in the 80's.
Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah, hopefully Mattel gets to those other figures this year. They are some of the most wanted characters left , but they require all new Tooling which is very expensive. So as long as the Origins line stays strong with sales, we will probably get one new all new tooled figure with each wave and then Repaints or variatints like this Skeletor. Because it's a cheap way to recoop Tooling money and make money back for Mattel without new expensive Tooling. Spikor was already announced and coming soon to the Origins line. I can't wait for the other figures you mentioned👍
Hey that's for watching the review! Yeah the 200x panthor is really cool looking and works good for the Origins. Also check out the 200x battlecat. He also works good for the Origins He-man figures. I showed that cat in one of my reviews with the Origins 200x He-man!
Thanks for stopping in man! Yeah Dragon blast Skeletor was teased and announced as a deluxe card figure this spring. I'm not sure if the Dragon will squirt water though.
@@321snaggle I will almost have no dout the Dragon on Dragon blaster skeletor will not have a water blaster action feature because they will just re use the Dragon from the Masters of the WWE Ricky stream boat figure. It had no action features. It was just a modern sculpt of that Dragon from Blaster skeletor.
I know not everyone is excited about this guy but I think he looks pretty cool.. Also excited about that leaked list.. Over on GDL the guy Jay got to see them in person at a Germany toy fair.. Cant wait for Talon Fighter
Thanks for watching the review and sharing your thoughts! Yeah I really like this skeletor variant in hand! I was always a sucker fir He-man and Skeletor Variants in the Vintage, Classics, Masterverse and now Origins line. So im in on it. But many people just want different figures or the rest of the core figures out from the vintage line first. I too want those figures first. But thats not what Mattel is always doing. The Repaints are way to make cheap retooled accessories and make more money back. After all they our company and want to make money. Not go backwards. I seen the Teases on on the newer Origins figures coming this year. I can't wait! The Talon Fighter was a suprise because of all the new Tooling so far. But im glad they are gonna put that out👍
This version of Skeletor isn’t bad! 200X representation in Origins is certainly welcome, imo. I do think that Snake Armor He-Man works better than Snake Armor Skeletor, but he’s still a decent figure. It’s kind of a shame that neither of their accessories are as detailed as the original 200X versions were.
It's fun to see these variants in the Origins line. I always liked He-man and Skeletor variants going back to the vintage days as a kid. But I would also like to see the rest of the Origins vintage inspired figures finished up first! I was surprised on how The Snake Armor He-man came out for the Origins line once I got him in hand! Some of the weapons are really lazy with detail when they are compared to the 200x. But I guess the whole idea of the Origins theme is to make the weapons and accessories look something like they would if those figures had them in the vintage line in the 80s.
Yeah, he looks badass! I was initially gonna pass on him and Snake Armor He-Man but ended up getting them both. He-Man, I was surprised how much I ended up liking him, bad ass too. Skeletor, however, looks sick as hell! I ordered him first but am still waiting. Can't wait! I have notified my Frog Mongers that I have shipped. I was surprised how fast I got the notification. Have you Man Child?
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review and sharing those comments! I also had it in my mind about passing or wasn't sure if I wanted more He-man and Skeletor Variants in the Origins line before getting the rest of the core characters in my collection. But I am sucker for Variants and its in Mattels hands as far as what figures they want to add to the future Origins waves. I like them all and I was also amazed on how much I liked the Origins snake armor He-man and Snake armor Skeletor figures. Yes I also just got a shipment notification from Mattel about the Frog Monger figure. I'm looking forward to getting him and reviewing mine!
@The Man Child The only issue with this Snake Armor Skeletor is his weapon being hollow on one side. Definitely have to display with the good side facing towards the viewer.
That would look really cool. I might make a quick follow up video on trying the head and Armor on a Classics and Masterverse Skeletor body. I was gonna try in the review but I didn't want to make the Video to long.
Thanks for checking out the review! I just Tried it! So the main armor does fit Rattlors buck well and looks really cool. But the Side straps are to short and cannot buckle.
You think distribution is bad were you lived here in Puerto Rico sucks this figure you review the 3 pack Sun Man and the Teela with Zoar is my last figures of the Origins line great review
Thanks for checking the review out! Oh yeah! I feel bad for many collectors in other countries or outside the main States like puerto Rico. I hear the same thing in UK, Brazil and all over. So many people love this line because it goes back to the vintage nastalgia we grew up with or just like the brand and Figures. I love all it! I have found very few figures in stores by me. Most of stuff comes from online for more cost and shipping too so I can have early reviews on my channel. The distribution and Production numbers on this line is nothing like the Days of the Vintage figures in the 80s. We just get what we can find or afford when we can. I'm in the USA, East coast and my distribution is bad too!
@@Themanchlid i have collected vintage,new adventures,200x, classics and Super 7 figures but never i have seen so much disarray in distribution like Mattel have done since Origins
@@elcowabungahe-man6156 The Origins is such a great line! I also collected most of the Classics and Masterverse lines. The Origins absolutely has the worst distribution in any toy line unfortunately!
They are being seen in the California area now. Hopefully BBTS gets more in soon or at least the newer figures. Distribution is a mess with this stuff.
@@jasonglover1243 it has been since day one. Mattel was even asked this question during powercon last year and said they are aware of the distribution problems but don't always have control over the Factory times and how the distribution is coming into the country or other places. Since covid happened, it changed everything world Wide with Manufacturing and shipping. Some Things like toys really got messed up. Motu was one of them. Also I don't think the factories are putting out the maximum production number of units or figures in the first run because of high Manufacturing costs now.
@@jasonglover1243 They are in the USA. But very limited and certain people seem to get access to them early. There's also an online store called the paulmart store. He sometimes gets figures early. However they are more expensive and sell out quickly.
I don't know what that Sword was suppost to be! That's probley the part of the figure. I'm not even gonna use it. I'll put another weapon in his hand. Aside that I like the rest of the armor and figure.
Thanks for checking the review out! Many of the Origins have varied or bright colors to me. The vintage and 200x had much darker and better matching colors. It depends on the figure. I can see this skeletor being a easy pass for some people and interesting to others.
@@anniesapp906 No problem! I looked it up and knew right away who you were talking about! I'm surprised I didn't put that together with that Gi character. I was familiar with him as a kid.
Yes it's more a simpler design for the Origins compared to the 200x figure. But thats typical for the Origins. It still doesn't look to bad in person I think!
OMG- the 200x Battle Armors were all so Ugly- even the Origins ones look bad. Will be the First He-Man & Skeletor from Origins that I won't be getting.
I was ALL IN on 200X back in 2003-2004. But Snake Armor Skeletor was a bridge too far. They were non stop pumping out stupid He-Man and Skele variants, and I simply refused to buy in. Still one of the silliest designs from 200X, IMO. lol.
Unfortunately the variants help kill that 200x line along the newer generation wasn't into it. Its one of things people like or Hate. Variants are a tricky business in the MOTU line! I always liked He-man and Skeletor Variants. It just goes back to the vintage days and nastalgia for me. I don't mind the Snake armor variants with He-man and Skeletor. It kind of goes along with the original snakemen story. But hey you like it! I totally respect that and walk away! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts👍
@@Themanchlid You're right about the 200X HM/Skele variants. Mattel really overdid it. I was dual collecting a complete loose, and a complete carded 200X collection at the time. So part of it was the relentless onslaught my wallet was under. Seeing this just brings back bad memories of "buying everything" no matter how silly it was. Plus, 200X Snake Armor came out when the line was on its last legs. I don't buy the rumors of Origins ending this year, but this figure does give me uneasy deja vu. 🤪
@@northstar5 Yep your collection story sounds very typical of many people who collected that 200x line then. I didn't get into those figures until 10 years later on ebay. But but I found the Classics and that was it for me! I have most of that collection. I never thought I would collect the Más or Origins years later. All of these lines bring something with the core characters and new stuff as well. But it's not a shock to see the Core Characters from The Vintage, animation or 200x remastered again in lines like the Masterverse or Origins. Again it's mix for fans and newer people coming in. Many fans like to see the old school characters remastered or certain variants. Other fans or collectors just want all new stuff and no variants. So its difficult for a company like Mattel to make everyone happy and of coarse make a fair profit! After all they ate a business and want to make as much money possible for the company and shareholders. The thing is we don't live in the 80s no more were making a brand like Motu was very cheap to manufacture and distribute for a company like Mattel and The Motu brand was a billion dollar franchise. Today that brand is no where close to those number. You see those figures sitting on the Pegs in Wallmarts and Targets always on clearance. The kids aren't really in to the brand and there is only so many collectors. Most stuff we just get online or all the cool figures are never found in most stores from what I have seen and the comments I get. It varies! Inflation, Manufacturing, Tooling, Marketing and Distribution is extremely expensive today on toys. The Origins Mantenna for example was probably $100000 dollars in Tooling costs for that figure. So you see why Mattel keeps pushing out Repaits or variants with minimal tooling. Maybe a new head, armor and accessories. That is very cheap compared to a whole new figure. So Variants that can sell make costs back and allows the company to use a budget now to retool a whole new figure. That's why we only see one new tooled figure in each wave. Anyway I don't feel the Origins line is gonna end this year. I do think the sales are gonna transition more to online and Mattel Creations.

It kind of goes along with the original snakemen story. But hey you like it! I totally respect that and walk away! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts👍
@@Themanchlid You're right about the 200X HM/Skele variants. Mattel really overdid it. I was dual collecting a complete loose, and a complete carded 200X collection at the time. So part of it was the relentless onslaught my wallet was under. Seeing this just brings back bad memories of "buying everything" no matter how silly it was. Plus, 200X Snake Armor came out when the line was on its last legs. I don't buy the rumors of Origins ending this year, but this figure does give me uneasy deja vu. 🤪
@@northstar5 Yep your collection story sounds very typical of many people who collected that 200x line then. I didn't get into those figures until 10 years later on ebay. But but I found the Classics and that was it for me! I have most of that collection. I never thought I would collect the Más or Origins years later. All of these lines bring something with the core characters and new stuff as well. But it's not a shock to see the Core Characters from The Vintage, animation or 200x remastered again in lines like the Masterverse or Origins. Again it's mix for fans and newer people coming in. Many fans like to see the old school characters remastered or certain variants. Other fans or collectors just want all new stuff and no variants. So its difficult for a company like Mattel to make everyone happy and of coarse make a fair profit! After all they ate a business and want to make as much money possible for the company and shareholders.
The thing is we don't live in the 80s no more were making a brand like Motu was very cheap to manufacture and distribute for a company like Mattel and The Motu brand was a billion dollar franchise. Today that brand is no where close to those number. You see those figures sitting on the Pegs in Wallmarts and Targets always on clearance. The kids aren't really in to the brand and there is only so many collectors. Most stuff we just get online or all the cool figures are never found in most stores from what I have seen and the comments I get. It varies! Inflation, Manufacturing, Tooling, Marketing and Distribution is extremely expensive today on toys. The Origins Mantenna for example was probably $100000 dollars in Tooling costs for that figure. So you see why Mattel keeps pushing out Repaits or variants with minimal tooling. Maybe a new head, armor and accessories. That is very cheap compared to a whole new figure. So Variants that can sell make costs back and allows the company to use a budget now to retool a whole new figure. That's why we only see one new tooled figure in each wave.
Anyway I don't feel the Origins line is gonna end this year. I do think the sales are gonna transition more to online and Mattel Creations.
Well I loved all the wacky 200X variants and repaints lol. 😁
@@321snaggle Yeah many of us always liked those repaint variants. That's what made the Vintage MOTU He-man and Skeletor figures so cool!👍
