I didn't get the special edition,but the regular release is just as fantastic. Wish Mattel would go the extra mile and do ab crunches on the these. And continue to do all the masterverse 😂❤
I did the same thing. Completely forgot I ordered it, then got a FedEx notice that made me thing Eternia was coming until I got the Mattel email saying what it really was. Then they trolled us again with King Grayskull! 😅But all is good, I got my Eternia in its mini-fridge box Monday.
I picked it up because I'm a completist. Comparing the two releases of the Cartoon Collection Skeletor, this is the better version imo. Although, if they already went with glow in the dark plastic for the Vee Friend, it would have been nice if Mattel could have done the same for the Skeletor faces.
Skilled Skeleton is so adorable! I personally would love to do a Stop Motion of that mini comic, which would turn out wonderful bc I can make a high pitched kiddie voice for Skilled Skeleton and my Skeletor Impression is awesome in my opinion! Idk someday I'll find this on the aftermarket (wish me luck lol) and bring that stop motion to life. Thanks for the review! and those moments when you do Skeletor it's great to hear his voice
Even though I wanted to be a completionist with this line, I passed on this. Now I kind of wish I hadn’t. My son actually would have probably really liked this, we recently opened up the entire first wave of Origins, plus he also has the first MotU Little People set. I had no idea Skeletor’s alternate hands formed a heart! That’s amazing! Darn it…
Hi Pixel Dan, I respect everyone's opinion and I'm happy for the people who got this pack, but honestly I didn't like it, thank you very much for the review, stay heavy and blessings 🤘😎
Hi Dan, Jonny here, totally got this! I’m in England, forgot I ordered this and it came, really nice as I’m a box collector! Not looking forward to delivery of eternia now as lots coming with damaged boxes due to bad packaging! £809 to get here! 😊
I'm totally with you - the retail release absolutely should have had swappable faces. And honestly, I would have much preferred that than the Masks of Power. I don't dislike that the Cartoon Collection figures come with "that one thing from that one episode," but... when mine come in, those Masks will most likely just be one more thing for me to bag, tag, and store in my accessories storage bins.
Hi Pixel Dan! I just wanted to let you know, that you're one of the most Far out, Host of your Show. It's been a Great Pleasure watching your Toy Reviewing Channel. 😎😎😎👍👍
Pixel Dan, I'm just curious, what is it about MOTU that appeals to you? Is it nostalgia, is it the characters and universe themselves, or mainly an interest in the figure collecting?
Also, the amount of money Mattel left on the table to have had interchangeable skeletor faces for every single version of him released, is just nuts. Sometimes I think toy companies just don't totally line up on either the fun aspect or the collector aspect as much as they really could, with just a bit more effort.
I just got this for Skeletor. I kind of hate that I am such a sucker for MOTU that I fell for something this goofy and expensive considering what it is.
I have to say that this kind of ‘look’ was to be expected in MotU one day or another, as we can see this stylistic approach, so prevalent nowadays, permeating the whole gamut of western popular culture… In my honest opinion it all came from influences which can be traced back to Japanese contemporary pop culture and media aesthetics (and I’ve been living here for 15 years now, I know more than most here about that). The caricatural styles, the goofiness, the big puppy eyes & huge head, the ‘it’s so cute’ look, the ‘heart’ mark with hands, the soft and happy vibes of Mario Bros & Pokemon…. All the things for me will never belong to MOTU. To each his own, and it’s all good I don’t mind people loving it, all the better for the long life of the franchises I love! but I can’t help to say the truth: I find it repulsive beyond words.
Gary Vee is a guy that’s like one half Tony Robbins, one half hyperactive entrepreneur. During the heyday of NFTs (cough*scams*cough), he launched his own series known as Vee Friends. It’s expanded into collectibles that he likely in no way designed himself, because the original Vee Friends NFTs (which he drew himself) were some of the worst pieces of “art” you’d ever see.
The set is amazing. I prefer this one in spite regular Skeletor. A question. Do you think that Mattel will launch a He-man edition similar like this one?
I "slightly" regret not ordering this because I did not understand the independent toy design community. Now that I am a bit more familiar with that world, I regret not ordering...
When you buy crap like this you send a message to Mattel. And that message is "We will buy any crap you want to push on us. We would rather have THIS than a full Battle Ram or Two-Bad." I mean seriously, they couldn't give us a FULL Battle Ram but they can produce this pathetic *GARBAGE?* How many MOTU fans would choose this over a full Battle Ram or a Bashasaurus or Two-Bad? Just being realistic. How many Skeletor figures do we need? My most wanted MOTU Origins toy is a new Fright Fighter. I have 0 chance of ever getting one but Mattel can waste money on designing & tooling this monstrosity. 🙄👎
Ummmmm.... Just my 3¢.... But the argument kinda falls flat because they have Not made the things that you want made... Sooooo No one can buy those things even if they wanted to!!!! So it's Not a matter of anyone buying this instead of that , because that has not been produced!!..... And I think it's fair to imagine that had this items and the ones you are wanting had all been produced for sale, that most fans would indeed buy all of them !!!!
Calvin and Hobbes homage with the Land-Shark!

Hey look it’s the grim reaper from Kid Icarus chilling with Skeletor!
I picked it up because I'm a completist. Comparing the two releases of the Cartoon Collection Skeletor, this is the better version imo. Although, if they already went with glow in the dark plastic for the Vee Friend, it would have been nice if Mattel could have done the same for the Skeletor faces.
The v friend glows so well in the dark . It’s great

Dan the green light makes you look like the hulk 😂
yeah
Don't make him angry 😂
We all were waiting for him to go all green saying I have the power 💪🏻 😂😂
That's so funny
Such simple minds gather here
The package looks great.

Love that shiny purple armor!
Bought for the same reason, and I was pleasantly surprised!
Cool Skeletor action figure collection ❤😊
Awesome art package amazing figures👍
The hood on the Skiled Skeleton is removable
You have to where there's a universe where skeletor is a good guy
8:37 totally reminds me of darth vaders oversized helmet in spaceballs!
The Land Shark picture has to be a reference to Calvin and Hobes* (?)
[*Kalle och Hobbe in Swedish, thus the question mark]
Yes I was thinking the same thing
I've been a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan for a solid 35 or more, and I immediately thought the same thing.
This was fun set of figures enjoyed the review dan
How could you!?!! It's the Power of Friendship! 😮😊😅
Look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍
Hi Pixel Dan! I just wanted to let you know, that you're one of the most Far out, Host of your Show. It's been a Great Pleasure watching your Toy Reviewing Channel. 😎😎😎👍👍
Skele Dark Helmet 😆😆😆
Pixel Dan, I'm just curious, what is it about MOTU that appeals to you? Is it nostalgia, is it the characters and universe themselves, or mainly an interest in the figure collecting?
im sure someone will make a resin cast of those faces. or 3d print.
Did you notice that Skeletor's spare hands in the bottom left were making a heart in the packaging? LOL
Go to 5:11 to see it.
I love that mascot look 😂
The box is the best part of this lol
I get Gloworm vibes from the VeeFriends Skelly!
I forgot that I ordered this also🤦♂️, but I’m glad I did.
why does the 4-inch one look like it's based on the FUNKO! Pops style
Skeletor mascot! LOL
very cool funny I just build my SKELETOR keyboard few days ago. I love Heman when i was a kid. Gave a like ill check out videos
They look awesome oh bonehead look like him just come out of the cartoon back in the 80s but with both of them together they are cool
Good video Dan
...I need to see the hilarity of those tiny skeleton hands on Scareglow.
Also, the amount of money Mattel left on the table to have had interchangeable skeletor faces for every single version of him released, is just nuts. Sometimes I think toy companies just don't totally line up on either the fun aspect or the collector aspect as much as they really could, with just a bit more effort.
I just got this for Skeletor. I kind of hate that I am such a sucker for MOTU that I fell for something this goofy and expensive considering what it is.
There is a video about this on mattel creations youtube
You could just swap the whole head and use the faces on the cartoon version.
Very much vibes of DR Evil’s mini me 😂 too rich for my bank though lol. But it does look like a fun set!
I have to say that this kind of ‘look’ was to be expected in MotU one day or another, as we can see this stylistic approach, so prevalent nowadays, permeating the whole gamut of western popular culture…

To each his own, and it’s all good I don’t mind people loving it, all the better for the long life of the franchises I love!
but I can’t help to say the truth: I find it repulsive beyond words.
Amazing 🥲
omg I would totally do a display with a he-man birthday party and the skeletor mascot entertaining the guests 🤣
The little guy doesn't have removable arms or split at the waist?...
What is v friends?

this is a fun 2 pack

Oh, you scratch yourself. 😮
You probably get that package sponsored by mattel.🙄
Cool set...another pass for me I'm broke lol😂
Please can I have that skeletor figure pls🥹🥹🥹🙏🙏
🙂
I was thinking about buying this, but I decided to not buy it. I am fine with the cartoon-collection- SKELETOR.
I Love Skilled Skeleton, and i think He is the perfect Best Friend that Skeletor could ever have Ase 🙏🏿❤️
I got it for a non-action figure fan to display in his office due to him being a big Gary Vee fan
First world problems
Oh, "VeeFriends" is NFT garbage. Gross.
Ummm OK......?!?!
Man I just don't get it. What's wrong with me?........the name isn't even clever. Help me
Horrible Motu ni deberías hacer estos vídeos saludos 💪🏻🇦🇷
Gary Vee. 🤢🤮
I will never understand why someone should preorder something he doesn't really care for. Expensive garbage anyway.
First Wow!
I "slightly" regret not ordering this because I did not understand the independent toy design community. Now that I am a bit more familiar with that world, I regret not ordering...
Wow, this is embarrasing. Mattel releasing a collaboration with an nft project? in 2024?
Totally unnecesary
