Great video, love his work!!! Your passion for MOTU is so infectious, this man made masterpieces! And agreed 100% about the He Man head!!!! If you haven't seen his wonderful work, check out Barbarossa Customs! He's just got a new head for Origins He Man that I have to get ASAP! Thanks again! Tom.
Massive respect for him following throw. So many people thought he was bluffing in the original video. I’d say the way they’re made here, being movable, would be better than statues. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
What amazed me seeing those upscaled figures, is that immediatly I felt like this is the right scale! I mean, when I was a kid, less than half my actual size, the figures were BIG, but now, they are much smaller, and this big version just makes it FEEL the right scale from my memories!
I first saw the guy on toy federation and thought he was nuts and wasn't really going to go through with his plans. A lot people say they're going to do something great and it just fizzles out with no follow through. No my friend. He has totally went above and beyond!! Kudos to him!! Thanks for sharing this display, love it!!!
Mattel should license these guys. I would definitely buy some of their stuff. They clearly love MOTU and know what the old fans love and want. This is easy money for Mattel.
I remember catching this on Toy Federation's channel a couple months back when he went there to first buy all the motu from them for this project. I didn't quite understand it, but these look incredible! Well done and exciting to see how he branched into all accessories and vehicles! Looking forward to seeing more!
His opening narrative was wonderful. I live in Puerto Rico after 43 years in New Jersey, and run a not for profit that provides business education, mentoring, procurement and free desk space to Puerto Rican entrepreneurs. The idea is this man's story. Don't know what he does for a living, but he is an entrepreneur. Inspired by his passion, and executed a plan of action whilst constantly innovating and scaling his outcomes (quite literally). More of these people need to be highlighted, celebrated and allowed to continue to create the beautiful things that make life so abundant!
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 Mattel remodeled He-man, and was different from the original design. This guy kept things original, just made the scale larger, along with doing an entire line worth of figures and an upscaled massive playset that wouldn't of been cheap. Mondo did an awesome highend more articulated version and Sideshow Collectibles have done statues in that size, but this guy is technically the first to recreate the entire og line but upscale it with a playset.
Been watching him go to a vintage toy store to get a lot of his vintage figures he used for these and showing some of his progress. It’s great seeing all of it come together is so impressive!
Wow so awesome to see this! I have been following true legacy design for awhile. I feel like these blown up versions also bring back that feeling of how big the figures were in our hands as kids!
Glad you were able to cover this we had Matt as a guest on Toy Frenzy not to long ago and it was great to see the production of some of this and now seeing it in it's glory is beautiful. Thank you Dan and thank you Matt for everything you're doing. 🙌
These are absolutely amazing to see. I remember watching a video of this gentleman buying up a collection of vintage Motu from TH-cam channel "Toy Federation." Where he was explaining to the owners that he was in the process on doing this. Awesome stuff here to see when it all comes together and I love the layout of the whole diorama. Now l am subscribed to "True Legacy Design"!!!
love love!! really amazing work!!Sometimes the love that He-Man fans put into our characters surpasses any figure that companies can create, because they have an extra amount of love and dedication that the figures in production do not have.
When he told Dan he had a Central Tower it was like when Hammond told Grant he had a T-Rex in Jurassic Park lol These are great, lovem. Saw when he bought the og collection from Toy Fed. And he’s a big dude I see why he likes everything bigger
I caught up to this guy's channel. Not too long ago and as soon as I saw him doing this. I knew how he felt and just hearing it out of his mouth. It's all true. I was born in 1981 and he man has always been like art to me. Something about it always stood out.
It sounds like this gentleman has been talking with engineers to ensure the quality of what they are doing. This is something the toy companies need to get back into doing Fans, collectors, and customers need high quality products and services.
did he say they’re gonna do the ENTIRE line?! so even Blasterhawk, Stilt Stalkers and Scubattack? i certainly hope he does, but he may as well cut a new canal through Nicaragua
Beyond the stuff in the video being super cool, this video was really well done. Fantastic job Dan. The more subdued quality really fit the more documentary feel of the subject matter and seeing Dan be less in "youtube" mode and more in author/expert mode who has written a book on the subject, was really cool. Love the bombastic toy hunts don't get me wrong but more stuff in this sort of tone would be entirely welcome.
Man, I watched Toy Federations episode where he came in and bought their stock and thought, “yeah he just needs to justify spending all that money to himself,” and BOY was I wrong. He really did it and it’s fantastic. Living the dream, I love it.
This is the SIZE we ALL REMEMBER them to be as a kid When you're an adult and you see the origins or originals reissued I'm like over 6'3 and things are TINY now So seeing them huge makes me feel like a kid
I watched the episode of Toy Federation where this guy came in to the store and bought all the figures to start this process. I thought his idea sounded nuts. It's really cool. Just not sure where he can take it.
I felt the same as an adult when I got to hold the giant size TMNT line from the original line. I now own all of them, but it felt good to hold that toy in my adult size hand.
I would like to order them all. Thats so cool... keep going! The new Tweeterhead statue of He-Man with Battlecat also has a really well-made He-Man head. He looks like the first one.
What this guy did is truly amazing! I watched the Toy Federation video where he came to the shop and bought like all of their vintage MotU figures and explained what he want to do, but I don't think anybody expected him to really do it so seeing this display is unreal. 😃 Now, he obviously invested A LOT of money into this, (He has FOUR artists ffs!!) but all it takes is C&D letter from Mattel and he will end up with the biggest (literally!) private MotU collection out there! He's operating from US so he would have no option but to drop everything. 😕 I don't think Mattel will have the reason to do that as his original plan was to build diorama displays for toy fairs and conventions, not to sell these, but you never know what Mattel lawyers might decide to do so I really hope he covered all his bases as I would hate seeing this project stopped as I REALLY want to see full vintage line blown out of proportions. Pun intended! 🤣
It's amazing to see something like this as an adult, but I can totally picture original fans as kids freaking out if we had giant sized versions of these figures.
at that scale, it does make it feel like you are a little kid with the original size figures. having these toys upscaled to be proportional to my hands as a kid.
seeing that enlarged version of The Slime Pit, that's what we should have gotten in MOTU Classics years ago! Oh well, here's hoping for an Origins Slime Pit on toy shelves one day
Can't quite explain it, but I have been an admirer of MOTU lately. I liked them well enough as a kid, but it's become more of a minor obsession in the last couple of years. And I think it's like he said. It's a reawakening of what made childhood magical. He-Man seems to encapsulate it more than other franchises of the time. Anyway, thanks for this video. More fuel for my rusted imagination.
One of the cool things about these is that if the playsets are made bigger ie Castle Grayskull they would actually be more to scale with the og MOTU figures 🤔
I love the idea of staatues but i believe that Tweeterhead are already doing that with their 1/6 scale Classic line, which are the vintage figures as statues in action poses. Their first one was he man on battle cat.
Very proud of my 2.5 year old who pointed at the screen and said ‘Leech’ about 30 seconds into the vid (we’ve been sticking Origins Leech to EVERYTHING the last two days)
those are amazing. I'm willing to be that the Man-e-Faces has a far crisper face detail then Mattels original origins release ! but yeah I love seeing Trapjaw in action. I do note the lack of the female characters Teela and Evil-lynn guessing they aren't finished yet . but I would also love to see a Spydor in that scale ! imagine how massive that would be !
id like to see them blown up life size and set up a huge diorama in a park.. or at a fair ..instead of walking through a haunted house or house of mirrors, your walking through castle grayskull with life size figures and different scenes set up
These are cool, i saw him post the concept & aquire the original figures to scan from Toy Federations video. I was a little concerned he would get lawyers after him though as none of this is licensed by Mattel yet. The cost to produce these would be huge especially if hand painted etc, so to say he will do the entire line (Vehicles & Playsets as well) and then maybe She-Ra may be over promising as even Mattel cant afford that with the Origins line.
In 1983 I was in 3rd grade and me and my classmates was arguing with our teacher about He Man vs Popeye. Lol....we said He Man would kick Popeyes butt and our teacher was saying Popeye would beat He Man. Lol....great times being a kid.
i know why he did it for real; he’s a goddamn giant of a man and his mammoth hands hold a vintage toy and it’s puny! So he wanted to feel like a child again and made these awesome figure.
Who’s going to go sub the True Legacy Channel now? Do you like these figures!?
Absolutely amazing!!! Masters and GI-JOE/Cobra were always my faves!! Still have all my original collections as a kid!! 😎 👍 ❤
That's awesome you still have them!
Hell yes! SO FREAKING COOL
I mean, Iwant a whole garden maze with life-size motu figures but... upscaled statues like these would be OK too...
Great video, love his work!!! Your passion for MOTU is so infectious, this man made masterpieces!
And agreed 100% about the He Man head!!!!
If you haven't seen his wonderful work, check out Barbarossa Customs! He's just got a new head for Origins He Man that I have to get ASAP!

I love these figures and don’t understand why Mattel can’t seem to do this but with added articulation. This is what classics should be.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cost and peoples willingness to buy them. The cost to buy would be huge per figure.
Didnt Mattel do Jumbo figures of He-Man, BeastMan, Skeletor, Man-At-Arms ... is this really a original idea?
these guys are doing the entire line

Yes it is! Fan of the Toy Fed channel are you?
Ya follow toy federation youtube channel and he is in 2-3 videos buying the figures
That’s right he bought 2 lots from Toy Fed. Love you stuff also Dan. Always watching your content from lonely down under.
Wow so awesome to see this! I have been following true legacy design for awhile. I feel like these blown up versions also bring back that feeling of how big the figures were in our hands as kids!
This is INCREDIBLE! I want that giant Leech so badly. They’re done so well, they genuinely look identical to the originals. Unbelievable.
Funny that they feel the same size as the vintage ones. I wonder if it’s because it is the same size in proportion to our size as adults. Fascinating.
The magnitude of this is insane. It's hard to comment. All one can do is just be in awe of it.

They're unbelievable. Now that is taking me back to my childhood. When I was a kid the figures where huge I'm my hands. These are probably to scale.
love love!! really amazing work!!Sometimes the love that He-Man fans put into our characters surpasses any figure that companies can create, because they have an extra amount of love and dedication that the figures in production do not have.
I agree!
So great to see his work coming together! Can’t wait to see where he goes from here!
Are you following his youtube?
@@Pixel-dan just started!
I'd buy that Slime Pit in a heartbeat!! This is outstanding!! 👏 👏 👏
The Slime Pit is amazing!

This is super freaking cool. I hope he can achieve his goal of doing the whole line. That would look amazing.
I hope so too! Make sure to go give him some love in the comments on his youtube!
WOW! I totally empathize Dude's motivation. MOTU was, is and will always be a very unique and special Toy Line👍👏

So great and amazing collection! Thank you very much Pixel Dan! 🤘😎
For a moment when I read the thumbnail, I was expecting someone to actually legit blow up some MOTU toys. Thankfully I was wrong 😂😂😂
Man, I watched Toy Federations episode where he came in and bought their stock and thought, “yeah he just needs to justify spending all that money to himself,” and BOY was I wrong. He really did it and it’s fantastic. Living the dream, I love it.
It's time to get a warehouse or airplane hanger in order to display everything at a big scale like this.
This is just plain cool!
Beautiful work, and lovely story behind why he is doing it. I can't wait to see the final result with He-man and She-ra displays together.
These are unreal. Well done to that gentleman.
Make sure to let him know on his channel! He's doing some great work!
Wow! You need to revisit this guy when he's completed the set!
This is the SIZE we ALL REMEMBER them to be as a kid
When you're an adult and you see the origins or originals reissued
I'm like over 6'3 and things are TINY now
So seeing them huge makes me feel like a kid
That’s awesome!
I got to see this in person at Retro-Toy Con. Honestly, I'm not a MOTU fan, but this is amazing!
Yea. It's hard not to be impressed by his hard work and dedication!
This is so cool. I would love to TMNT classic playmates done in this scale.
This came through, I thought it was just a dream that he "wanted" to do, he is doing it... right on Pixel Dan for bringing this to us!
It’s amazing right!?
I watched the episode of Toy Federation where this guy came in to the store and bought all the figures to start this process. I thought his idea sounded nuts.
It's really cool. Just not sure where he can take it.
Dan! thanks for making my life awesome, i almost forgot the kid in me, you bought him back, you're a new gen He-Man for me, thanks!
Wow these look incredible! I hope he is able to get these licensed from Mattel. Statues that look exactly like the originals would be so cool.
These MOTU figures would be so super cool to have.
His reasons for taking this project on are most excellent.
This is insane!!! So much effort and work put i to this. Hails for the love of the play!
Yes he is! Make sure to let him know in the comments of his videos!
Thank's a lot for sharing this with us. This is so unique and awesome, just loving it.
Glad you enjoy it! Make sure to check out his youtube channel as well!
I felt the same as an adult when I got to hold the giant size TMNT line from the original line. I now own all of them, but it felt good to hold that toy in my adult size hand.
AH!
This gentleman likes both MOTU and TMNT just like Pixel Dan.
What are the odds?
His thought about what inspired him, I felt that in my bones 💓
Ha! He's an interesting guy with a real love and passion for it!
Man, and then the end convo talking about you and inspiring each other. This needs to be a featured video 💓⚔️
Thats so rad! See thats why i love 6 inch figures as an adult... they feel big like how gi joes felt big when you were a kid!
With mosquitor being so big you might as well put a working lava lamp inside of him or a sand art thingy. It would look the same pretty much
Looking forward to the recreated diorama!
I would like to order them all. Thats so cool... keep going! The new Tweeterhead statue of He-Man with Battlecat also has a really well-made He-Man head. He looks like the first one.
Wow this is amazing, I could only imagine the passion, time and dedication to do this. I am so glad to know this exists. Outstanding and mind blowing!
Now the toys are as big as you remember them being when you were a little kid.
This video was great! The concept is brilliant and the video itself has a great look and vibe. Props to everyone involved.
Thanks so much! Should I do more like this? Working with @teenagemutantninjaturtlestube
@@Pixel-dan I sure think so!
This looks like such an awesome project! Hope to see it in person someday.
Well, God damn 😂! That is huge 😳 👏 💯! Very impressive
Isn’t it!?

Motu has given us all (wonder) I think eternia is the closest thing our eyes have seen to Heaven.
Wow I like that quote please expound?
Me too. Curious what your thoughts are.

Ole boy is pretty damn big, so I’m not surprised he likes bigger toys!!!
That's so awesome!!
He did it I seen him buy all the loose motu on another channel to use for these. Good for him happy holidays
That guy's crazy - wow!
Are these at all available to buy?
I remember him from Toy Federations videos so cool
I'm a short dude with small hands, so this is how every normal motu toy is to me XD
Very proud of my 2.5 year old who pointed at the screen and said ‘Leech’ about 30 seconds into the vid (we’ve been sticking Origins Leech to EVERYTHING the last two days)

These MOTU Jumbo figures are just amazing, shame they're not available to buy. By the power of Grayskull...
id like to see them blown up life size and set up a huge diorama in a park.. or at a fair ..instead of walking through a haunted house or house of mirrors, your walking through castle grayskull with life size figures and different scenes set up
So cool. I would buy his statues

Want a cool, humble, awesome talented guy

Awesome saw these over on Toy Frenzy recently very cool
In 1983 I was in 3rd grade and me and my classmates was arguing with our teacher about He Man vs Popeye. Lol....we said He Man would kick Popeyes butt and our teacher was saying Popeye would beat He Man. Lol....great times being a kid.
That display belongs in an art museum
Doesn’t it!?
Super Neat-O!
Very cool!!
Where did you get that awesome shirt?
Amazing!
i know why he did it for real; he’s a goddamn giant of a man and his mammoth hands hold a vintage toy and it’s puny! So he wanted to feel like a child again and made these awesome figure.
