@geekillustratordad4982 Thanks for watching already! It's always appreciated, man! Oh, this is definitely the best Mer-Man made yet! Aside from the Mondo Mer-Man or the regular green Classics Mer-Man that go back to the vintage Nastalgia. But I absolutely love this Mer-Mans design and colors for the New Eternia series. The sword looks awesome! The bending rubber bothers me a bit. I'll fix it.
@@ciuffoarancione8929 Congrats on getting your New Eternia Mer-Man in hand today! I think he is also one of the best Mer-Man figures yet! The New Eternia line is really pushing out some cool figures this year. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌
Great review! They hit a homerun with this figure so much detail for the figure and the armor as you pointed out. This is just a great version of Mer-Man. Head sculpt and Armor A++
@robertalessandrini8773 I absolutely agree!! This is a perfect version and design for a Masterverse Mer-Man figure! The head sculpt, and accessories really stand out! The whole wave of series 14 figures all look really good! Thanks for checking out this review 👍
Manchild! This may be one of the coolest Mer-Man figures ever. His head sculpt, eyes, loin cloth etc are all unique to New Eternia but at the same time it all felt specifically familiar. Almost like I owned this figure before. I just walked through my collection room and referenced all of my Mer-Man figures. The shape of the ears is so Filmation. The 3D eyes and sculpted chains on his loincloth is Mondo. The spikes from his armor protruding behind his neck along with the metallic blue gems on his chest and belt are clearly 200x as well as Revelation. The blue hue to his skin as well as the 2 points on his face plate above his eyes is early Alcala minicomic and cross cell art. I'm sure there are other details I'm missing but this is the ultimate amalgamation of every Mer-Man, ever. Absolutely brilliant, Mattel. 🔥👏
Thanks for watching as always! Yeah, I agree with all that info regarding the inspiration behind the final design for this Masterverse Mer-Man! I only have the Classics, Origins, and Masterverse Mer-Man figures. So I couldn't compare against those other versions you have in your collection. The details are all new to me! I can see some of the 200x and LOP inspiration as well as some Classics input. Overall, this is the perfect look and style for a Masterverse New Eternia Mer-Man!👍
@Themanchlid Yeah those are the main figures I looked at too. The hanging tassels from his belt - definitely Lords of Power which Alcala also illustrated in the first minicomics. I'm not sure what the inspiration was for the gun-metal color he's sporting on his shoulders and shin-guards, perhaps that's an added "New Eternia" element. I thought the spear looked familiar too, kinda looks like He-Man's spear from the first minicomic but Mer-Man- style. LOL. Great Mer-Man figure all around. What I love the most about many of these New Eternia figures is that if a MOTU Classics collector is missing a figure, then these are great substitutes and stand-ins.
@pop_motu_75 Yep, I agree! I also say the same thing about people who missed the Classics. The Masters are a good substitute for that line, depending on the figure, of course. Some are better than others. But the New Eternia line is probably the best with reimagined core figures that still have some Classic elements.
Thanks for watching as always! Yeah, the New Eternia series is the way to go with the Masterverse figures! They are really creative and have really interesting designs and Weapons!
Thanks for watching as always, brother! The weapons look awesome! That sword has a really cool design aside from that gummy rubber! I'm gonna reinforce mine with a rod! Yeah, if known this, Mer-Man was coming to the Masterverse, I probably would skip on the first one with battle damage.
@@allenniumfalcon I feel the same way! It's 50/50 for now between the Classics Mer-Man and this New Eternia Mer-Man! They did an amazing job on him! Thanks for checking out the review 👍
Excellent figure and a great compliment to any vintage and classics collection. I guess the first two Masterverse Mermen are off to the dumpster now. Well played Mattel, you made us buy 3.
Yeah, I hear that! If I would have know a Mer-Man like this was coming to the Masterverse, I wouldn't have bought those other Mer-Man figures. Especially that first boring battle damage Revelation one! Thanks for watching 👍
I have to say, i have been passing on masterverse for the past several months, and was going to pass on this figure, but watching this review has me considering picking it up. Really like the effect of those fishy eyes!
Thanks so much for taking the time to check out the review and share your thoughts! This is the best version of Mer-Man I have seen yet! He has a great design for the Masterverse series!👍
I think it's pretty nice figure!The bronze armor is different but I like it.Awesome headsculpt.Only thing I might do is paint the lower belt thing to match chest armor.Think it would make it appear more full & not as slender. Great review!
@captainzuesss1685 Thanks for checking out this review and sharing your thoughts on this new Mer-Man. The Headsculpt and armor really stand out on this figure. The colors are also pretty decent. It is a good idea to add some paint to the belt to make the armor appear larger. 👍
This Mer-Man is SO good! Having him on the shelf, it makes all the other Masterverse figures to look bad. The paint on him is so nice, it kinda look like a figure from a different, more expensive line.😅
@@Atrox-Veritas I agree! This new Masterverse Mer-Man really stands out from the other figures with that new head sculpt! I'm glad you also enjoy this newer design for this figure! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌
Mer-Man Fish Market! 😊 New Eternia Mer-Man's armor looks good on any of the variants. 😮 Odd how it feels like we didn't have enough Mer-Man figures but after seeing all the different variations, we did get a lot of Mer-Man figures so far. 😮
@geffeternal741 The armor looks really cool on all those other figures! I also feel like we use more Mer-Man figures even though we already got a couple, as you mentioned!👍
People seemed to be a little lukewarm when they showed the renders but I can definitely go for making this my main Merman. They really went ham on the colors and paint apps even if it's not exactly his traditional coloring. Someone over at Mattel is really keen on modernizing these characters. I have two cheap 1st release revelation mermen..I'll just make them henchmen.
@MrUniq Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your thoughts. Many of those early renders or photos don't look as good as the final figures from what I have seen. This Mer-Man looks awesome for the New Eternia line. I'm also gonna keep my other Masterverse Mer-Man figures for henchmen as well!👍
Thanks for watching as always! Everyone has their own taste with certain looks and designs for many of these iconic Characters such as Mer-Man. I really like this new look for Mer-Man! But Revalation Mer-Man is also kind of cool.
@@ZetZatar Same here! I gonna replace my other Mer-Man figures with this New Eternia Mer-Man instead. The others can be his soldiers. I put a piece of metal in that sword for now. Thanks for watching another review 🙏
@@LVHAXOR316 Yep! If I knew this line was gonna go this far and add another Mer-Man like this down the road, then I would have also just waited for this version. He came awesome! Thanks for watching as always!
@MonstersOfTheUniverse Thanks for checking the review out. Yes, the knee joints are double jointed like most of the Masterverse figures largely. Mine are stuck at the top part. I had to heat them up so they would move better.
I saw another review of this figure and I just wasn’t feeling it. I think it’s the eyes that are throwing me off. At certain angles, the eyes look really weird…almost cross-eyed at times. Now that I’m seeing this figure up close, he’s growing on me a bit more. I’m a big fan of the Lords of Power look for Mer-Man, and this definitely borrows from that. I really like the head sculpt on the LoP Origins figure and the Classics figure. To me, those faces and “dead” eyes are perfect. These “glassy” eyes make him look a bit too expressive and more human than fish-like, which I think is what I’m not feeling. Just my honest opinion…I’m very clearly in a small minority on that, though. ~Damon
Thanks for checking out my review as well! Honestly the eyes look incredible up close! I definitely tried my best to zoom and show the details clearly. They are tricky to look at from certain angles or far away because they look cross Eye or to glossy for that head. But up close they are perfect for that Mer-Man! Mattel put a lot of effort in that design instead of just paint! I think the Lord of Power inspired head sculpt also stands out very well for this New Eternia Mer-Man figure!
Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah, the child safety standards could have something to do with the design of this sword. But these Masterverse figures are marked to older kids and adults. I have seen plenty of other Masterverse weapons that are also sword and very hard plastic. Maybe they thought using rubber would be better for the particular style of that thick bone blade on that sword.
Thanks for checking out the review! I love the Classics figures because they have that vintage Nastalgic feel going back to the Origins figures but of coarse more Modernized. However, I really enjoyed this Masterverse line as well. I Rate the Classics Mer-Man 50/50 now against this New Eternia Mer-Man.
@@GF-hu5dt Thanks for watching! One of the best looking Mer-Man figures I have seen was through MONDO. But that figure is tall and very expensive! This is probably the best 7 inch Mer-Man figures yet👍
@josray2557 Yeah, sometimes the heat trick will work. But it's a very gummy material. I used a piece of metal on the one side. Thanks for watching and the suggestions!
Thanks for checking out another video, rickytodd! I wasn't even gonna bother comparing the Cartoon Mer-Man to the New Eternia Mer-Man at first to save time. But im glad I did! It was an interesting comparison👌
@@ColtonFultonUK Thanks for watching! Yeah my mind always has the vintage inspired or Classics design to be first choice or normal for the Motu series.
