🌟 Welcome back to the Pixel Dan channel, where we dive deep into the realms of nostalgia and action figure collecting! In today's episode, Pixel Dan takes us on a journey through the iconic Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection line, featuring the much-anticipated She-Ra, Skeletor, and Man-At-Arms action figures. Strap in, Masters of the Universe fans, as we explore the rich stories behind these legendary characters and dissect the intricate details of their stunning new figures!
🗡️ She-Ra: Unleashing the Power of Grayskull!
First up on our adventure is the Princess of Power herself, She-Ra! Pixel Dan marvels at the exquisite detailing on this new action figure, capturing the essence of Adora's transformation into the mighty She-Ra. As he unboxes and articulates the figure, he delves into She-Ra's compelling backstory, exploring her journey from being a member of the Evil Horde to embracing her true destiny as a heroic warrior for Etheria. From her enchanted Sword of Protection to her iconic tiara, every detail is a testament to the craftsmanship of this homage to a beloved '80s animated series.
💀 Skeletor: The Overlord of Evil!
Next in line is the nefarious Skeletor, the eternal adversary of He-Man. Pixel Dan can't contain his excitement as he reveals the menacing figure of the Lord of Destruction. With his Havoc Staff in hand and his distinctive bone-faced visage, Skeletor exudes an aura of malevolence. Pixel Dan takes a trip down memory lane, recounting Skeletor's dark quest for power and his unrelenting pursuit of Castle Grayskull. The new Skeletor action figure pays homage to the character's diabolical nature, making it a must-have for any Masters of the Universe enthusiast.
⚔️ Man-At-Arms: The Heroic Eternian Strategist!
Rounding off this trio of incredible action figures is the valiant Man-At-Arms. Pixel Dan carefully examines the craftsmanship that brings Duncan, the royal weapons master, to life. As he articulates the figure and showcases the intricate armor and weapons, Pixel Dan recounts Man-At-Arms' vital role in defending Eternia. From his trusty mace to his iconic mustache, every detail is celebrated in this remarkable rendition of the character. Join Pixel Dan as he discusses the importance of Man-At-Arms in the Masters of the Universe narrative and the impact he has on the battle against the forces of evil.

still trying to get mine dan
Skeletor with swappable faces would have been nice, like a “shocked” face like when he lost control of the Collector.
They offered that particular version of Skelly at Mattel Creations with the VeeFriends twopack. His face comes with 3 separate interchangeable expressions. 😊
Just when I thought I was out, Mattel pulls me back in with the Cartoon Line! And I couldn't be more excited because Filmation is where my love for MOTU began. I prefer this line but they all have their merits. I've heard what figures are coming and it's going to be an awesome 2024!
Yeah, I really love the cartoon, even though serious Motu fans might call it the "spoof" version, I really love them!
I love the packaging; They did a great job making it look like the cartoon and feel like an exclusively cartoon He-Man toyline, which I've wanted for years.
I found the Cartoon Teela at Walmart and she's instantly one of my favorite figures; I can do something else with all of the Origins parts I collected trying to make a cartoon Teela; They did an excellent job with her!
Hope to find duplicates and keep them in their glorious-looking cardbacks :)
I love the new format with the two cameras. Not that we don't know your face from before, but it somehow makes it more personal seeing you talk to the camera in between. Keep up the good work!
Gotta say I love the new presentation where you go from talking to the camera to turning to the figure photography area. Such a great touch.
I kind of love these, the lack of paint detail and washes is actually accurate
Mattel is so foolish not to let you review them internally before production
The Torsos are a little taller on cartoon collection as well.
I find it very interesting the way that these figures were released. John Erwin voiced both He-Man & Beast Man & Alan Oppenheimer voiced both Skeletor & Man At Arms. Great review and great figures!
I am looking forward to Mer-Man. However i wonder how much different Skeletor will be from the Vee Friends Skeletor.
I like the alternate camera angles you are using 😎 📹
I think they look really good...the new torso and the straightened legs really fit the Filmation feel.
Must haves... Mer-Man and Hordak... but especially a cartoon She-Ra. And yes, absolutely! Characters we've never seen as figures before. ✨✨✨
Hi Pixel Dan. I've loved your videos for years and only started collecting MOTU again in the last few weeks. In your opinion is the packaging on the Cartoon line the same size as the standard Origins line, as I'm looking to order Origin protective cases to protect my Cartoon figures. Thanks, Tom
Shokoti already has a cape ready with Lady Slither!
I'm so glad we got figures that looked like the original cartoon maybe this can happen for the 200x too
Got He-Man coming from bbts and just found Skeletor in Big W today.
Great series. probably the best versions Mattel has ever done. But many are saying it's not enough to have celebrated skelemonth. Wanted the same version of skeletor in the masterverse line 😂☠️
I like these. I have my HE-MAN and BEAST-MAN. Cant wait for my SKELETOR and MAN-AT-ARMS.
OMG I want those MOTU cartoon toys .
it looks like the boots on the new Skeletor are a bit longer than on the previous ones, which could also be the reason why the new one is taller.
Shokoti, Icer, Batros!!! I’d love to see a lot more of these Filmation characters
I wish I had gotten that She-Ra before she sold out.
These makes me wish mattel did real Ghostbusters but like this and tmnt. Cause these other companies aint doing crap.
Now I need those favorites
These look amazing, I wish skeletor had a articulated jaw, but it's good enough, I like it, but I agree the yellow needs to be more yellow
His face in the show is usually a pale yellow but sometimes, much more yellow 😂 I think they settled on this yellow just because, from Google image search, ixsaw a more pale yellow in the first few pictures. That's all I think they've done!!!!
There's a variant of Hordak I got where his eyes are a blank red rather than the black eyed red pupil he got first.
The background music at the beginning and end of the video got me all nostalgic about the old days of this channel... like back in 2008 or so when Pixel Dan first started reviewing MOTU Classics.
I don’t know if this is a new format, but I've seen it twice now, and both times I feel we would see Robo if we panned right 😅
Is it just me, or does the Stasis Ray look a lot like Jake Kong's Dematerializer from Filmation's Ghostbusters? 🤔
They're both Filmations. Won't be surprising if both designs are reuse. Just like what they did with Blackstar's Warlock steed and reuse as a 🐲 in a He-Man episode. 😊
Dan! Do you think we could get a Filmation Castle Grayskull for this line???
I'm hoping we get a Batros figure, I love his design
Hi Pixel Dan, for me club grayskull are the best line and I pass this cartoon line, stay heavy and blessings! 🤘 😎
I'm enjoying the Cartoon Collection so far, though I am slightly disappointed in Skeletor's head sculpt. You are correct- the lack of black paint apps and a detailed wash over the skull and teeth takes away from the overall Filmation look. Club Grayskull nailed that look, in my opinion. Also, his HavocStaff should be pink, not purple like his belt and harness. This is also a great opportunity to utilize his proper Filmation bone sword that was packaged with Lizard Man and Ultimates Skeletor in the Classics line. I know that the purple version of the power sword is common with Skeletor figures to emulate the vintage toy, but no where in Filmation did he have a purple power sword. I'm usually not this nitpicky, my apologies LOL! It's just that Skeletor is such an icon, especially in Filmation, so he needs to be done right. 😉
Fan favorite She-Ra, on the other hand, is absolutely fantastic. I never found a She-Ra with the updates knees and the gold vs. yellow is such a huge improvement and gives us much more vintage toy nostalgia.
Unfinished is a great description, It's like the figures never made it to the paint department.
Like Snake Mountain. The collar on the snake is the same collar as the snake!
I like the look of this new line. Weird that the 1st wave wasn't He-Man & Skeletor with the 2nd wave being Man-at-Arms & Beast Man.
The first two releases of MOTUC were He-Man and Beast Man. I took it as a nod to that, but I'm likely overthinking it. lol
they look off and they look cheap BUT when you compare them to the others they might be the best. The classics look too lanky in the legs and their heads look too juicy. The 5 inch ones of course look wrong. These from a distance capture them really well.
For the honour of grayskull love the 80s srs awesome new figs 👍
These have all been really solid so far. Can't wait for Teela and Evil Lyn.
You have Duncan holding the stasis ray upside down!
Love these! I wish Mattel would have paid for the Filmation branding so it could have been included on the packaging rather than just using cartoon.
personally I like origins better. Great Video!
I would love to see a Widgets (?)(The little people, hero, girl, older guy) three pack 😂 They were in a few episodes and would be fun.
@Pixel-dan, are you planning on making a video specifically on Cartoon Collection Teela? She seems to have the best face sculpting to date, so it would be interesting to see if that head's size would work with the S7's Club Grayskull Teela.
For me, MOTU were always toys first, the 80s cartoon is secondary... I understand that this is for the general public, but I prefer Origins.
So glad I got this She Ra mainly for those KNEES!!! WOOP WOOP!
The waves are definitely weird, but hearing the explanation about the case packs and how it's essentially a subline sharing space and a sku with other figures makes sense.
It's a shame you didn't point out that Mattel didn't use the monster hands (from the previous origins Skeletor) on Filmation Skeletor and Beast Man. I wanted to paint Skeletor's claws black to match the cartoon, but Mattel used the He-Man human hands for all the Filmation figures, making this impossible. I can't even swap the hands because the blue skin tone is different. Such a simple mistake that was easily avoided.
I ended up canceling my preorders on these. They look really Filmation-accurate, but my Super7s give me a taste of that while also giving me more of the vintage form factor. I’ll pick up more as we get away from guys I already have. Bring on some PoPs like Adora and Bow or some New Adventures or 200X stuff - that can fit in a Cartoon Collection!
I love the cartoon collection so far. Especially Beast Man and He-Man. I agree about the Skeletor face though, it could have benefited from a more detailed paint job
Definitely want to grab that she-ra this time around. And praying for tri-klops re-release! Decent looking toon figs. Looking forward to future waves. May pick up some.
I haven't seen any of the Cartoon collection on store shelves yet. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks.
Look fabulous and like they stepped out of the toon. Just feels like we've mined this particular ore already. Let's do something new please
I think Man-At-Arms should have his name changed from 'Duncan' to 'Richard' ... if you know you know
Ps the ram-skull looks fantastic!
I really like the cartoon line, specially as I wasn't into collecting when Classics Filmation figures were being sold, and considering they cost a fortune on 2nd hand market I am willing to get a small downgrade at $20 per figure. :D It is expected that these are not as good as their Classics counterparts though, considering that Classics figures, if sold today with the same quality, would probably cost ~$60-70 at least.
For a moment I thought you noticed a silly little mistake Mattel made with one of the masks, Tyrella's mask is made to connect with the male head ball joint and will not connect to the female body. :D
And look good okay love Dwight' 😅
Thanks for sharing.My ears have healed.
The Cartoon Collection Skeletor seems to have narrower shoulders. Just a little but it feels like a big difference, makes his proportions more like in the cartoon. :)
Agreed on the classics being better. I feel a little more detail is needed. A new head sculpt for skeletor would be nice.
Look good with. 21 Castle Grsyskulll look good you think okay love Dwight Jr 😊
I'd love to see a Filmation line with some linework (like the NECA TMNT animated figures).
I hope we will eventually get some 200x designs (apart from the repaints/slight remodels we got so far) both in Origins and Masterverse.
Im here for the comparison time
These two are the first Cartoon Collection figures we’ve managed to get. Love that new She-Ra! We’ve got a comparison video coming soon for her.
Dan, did you get the Mattel Creations Skeletor (it came with an art figure) that had the swap-out face plates?
I dunno, I still prefer my MOTU toys having that iconic squat. The Classics and the Cartoon lines look more animation accurate but I need that squat 😁. The Filmation line was a good compromise, cartoon accurate but squatty 🥰
I just got Skeletor and Man At Arms for 10$ at Target but I didn’t see He-Man or Beastman. I saw She-Ra and passed on it because I already have it
Ok, now I'm scared: thowards the end of the video I was literally thinking "have we ever got a Shokoti in this style?" when you mentioned her... are you telepathic or something?
All jokes aside, I think I like this Skeletor better than the toy accurate one: the less flashy head and the better cowl make the difference, for me.
Something I also would like to see is some love for the 200X versions of the characters: I love the modern Rattlor (more than the classic one, I know it's heresy but you can't choose what you like) and I can only seem to find him at an affordable price loose and with missing bits.
I know that having a modern design refitted for an old graphic sounds dumb, but I would love it nonetheless.
I like them and will only get cartoon collection mostly from now on.
Hoping that the eventual Prince Adam has a vertically-hinged wrist.
Really hoping for a cartoon Clawful 🦀
❤ watching your videos I've been watching your videos ever since the classic started. have you got Teela and Trap-Jaw yet my friend.
very nice figures
THANKS BUD
Stasis ray looks like filmation ghostbusters blaster lol
Original origins She-Ra: "Prettier eyes? Really, Dan? I'm standing right here with these bad knees, I can hear you..."
Did you find out why there not exact to cartoon like ultimates club grayskull were exact, is it the license ? Artistic choice ?.
The MAA comparison is night and day difference
Those figs 😂😂 are cheap made Origins body proportions style...THEY ARENT ADULT COLLECTOR FIGS
@@ConstantineCydonea what's that got to do with my question 🤔
Where do you even buy these since the only ones in Walmarts and Targets are the same old ones that have been in there for years now
entertainment earth
I ordered from BigBadToyStore.
hoping for a trap jaw down the line
Trap Jaw is already released.
Knees on the females look so much better
This Dwight. Hey okay
🆒
Great review I love your book I hope you make a second one with origins MasterVerse CGI and turtles of Grayskull figures!
Is there a bigger Dan filming this Dan filming the figures?
She-Ra awesome toys action figure collection ❤❤❤❤😊
Very VERY surprised how poor Skeletor looks, lacklustre paint really takes away from his detail. Shame...
is it your lighting or is there not much detail in these figures. They look very basic!
i need your help to get them dan please
EBay/ Amazon
Batros
Looks nothing like the original she-ra 😥
How does the motu origins cartoon height with classified G.I Joe figures ?
They are about the same height.
Same that S7 didn't continue that vintage (filmation) line...it was much better than this one.
No, Mattel's Skeletor has a much more accurate head sculpt, and the colours are closer to how he looks in the cartoon. The Super 7 figures had less articulation and were more of a hybrid between the cartoon designs and the vintage figures. He-Man's belt had circles on it, for example, which his Filmation design did not have.
Super7's Wave 1 figures also suffered from notoriously fragile hip joints.
I like the S7 Man-at-Arms Cartoon looks a darker Green skin tone than the current M.A.A. origins cartoon collection.
"more of the same, but kinda new" strategy
its mind boggling why Mattel cannot let go of the short squatting muscular body and capture the look of the hood of Skeletor on this line and its already 2024 - this is like done by DC Collectibles for their BTAS line that crossed with Toybiz - waiting for my copy to decide if i will continue this line or just stick with the Filmation version of Super7 (Mattel too)- great review
Actually, these Filmation figures do not share the shorter squatting bodies with the previous Origins figures. These are 95% new sculpts.
I will say though skeletors hood
is less hoodie and more hijab-y….
As a kid I always wondered why Man At Arms armor was only on one arm and one leg. I just remember thinking why wouldn't you want both arms and legs protected.
It's inspired by historical armour, like ones worn by samurai and roman legionnaires. They often had more protection on one side of their body, as they knew where attacks would be more likely to hit. They left one arm exposed so they could swing their swords around more easily. The exposed leg made it easier to crouch on that one knee, and their armoured leg would be facing the enemy.
If they really needed protection for their exposed side, they would just bring a shield along with them. It was more versatile than a full suit of armour.
Estos juguetes de He-man son horribles y aburridos 😒 mejor tmnt 🐢💪🏻🇦🇷
Garbage still 😂
You didnt mention that the "Queen" Tuarella's head only fits male buck instead of female's. Mattel's attempt to create a trans character perhaps? 🤔🧐😂
And I told myself as soon as I get my Skeletor I was going to apply a black wash on his teeth 🦷 I think 🤔 that would help a whole bunch …. 🫡✌🏼
