Never really liked New Adventures however this one is sweet ! You know Mattel’s doing things right when they can make ya want to get those figs you’ve never liked before.
I agree! I didn't care for the New Adventures cartoon or story. But I'm all for seeing these kinds of figures added into the Masterverse or Origins line line just like the Classics. I'm glad you like the figure! I think he came out good. Thanks for stopping in 👍
It’s kind of weird…I thought New Adventures and the ‘89 He-Man toy line were terrible when I was younger. But now I’m kind of appreciating that Mattel had tried something different. I actually had secretly wished they might have started introducing the New Adventures era into Origins, but with the “reboot” coming next year, that now seems unlikely. That being said, Skeletor isn’t bad. He’s not great either. Something about his head just feels really “off.” He looks a lot better with the helmet, that’s for sure. Anyway, all caught up now on your MotU reviews. Great job as always! 👍
Felt the same way as a kid these were terrible lol !!! Skeletor is the same story he just feels off like the original. Although this is done a LITTLE better. Cool throwback they tried something new and these are kind of historical. Still no good though 😂
Thanks for watching all the MOTU videos I put up recently! It's always appreciated! Yeah, I didn't like the few New Adventures episodes I watched or the toys they put out. I only found out about the NA cartoon and figures when I started collecting the Classics line. They also looked really good in that series. I hope they at least to make new adventures, Skeletor for the Origins line like they did with He-man, but he was only available as a 4 pack exclusive! Aside from that, I think the design is kind of cool! The end is creepy, looking. I'm also just gonna keep the helmet on. My other issue is the lack of paint, and that reused She-Ra cape with the neck ring. That doesn't go well on this figure! I already painted the silver on the circuit areas that are just blue and purchased a custom red cape on eBay! That should make this figure better👍
I feel you. Ever since we got 200X, my hope is we'd get all the other He-Man and Skeletor variants from different eras in the Origins line, but the message from SDCC makes it sounds like we won't.
@pawcanada The original line of figures such as the rest of the Vintage inspired figures and other figures that might be introduced, like more 200x characters, might still come to the Origins. But they will be Mattel Creations . So it's possible to get more variants. The other line in Origins will filmation and Turtles cross over that will sell at certain retailers.
Never watched New Adventures, but I've always digged the designs of He-Man and Skeletor, as well as the Spce Mutants. I'm keen to get both Skeletor and Slushead (have to use a third party seller to import them to the UK), and I hope they'll continue to release more characters from it in this line, and maybe some of the He-Man and Skeletor variants the toyline and show got.
I also never watched the NA Adventures cartoon in the day. I didn't even know it existed! I saw some episodes years later after I collected the classics figures from the NA series, which worked out really well in the Classics line! I'm also all for more NA inspired figures in the Origins or Masterverse line like the He-man and Skeletor now! I also preordered Slush Head as well! Yes, the easiest way to acquire these figures for you collectors outside the USA is to import them. I know it's more expensive! I live in the USA and usually import or pay a higher cost to get these figures in hand early for review if I can. So im kind of in a similar boat, so to speak! It's the nature of the beast today with toy collecting. I'm happy to hear you dig the new design of this Skeletor. I think he is really cool. I don't care for the cheap She-Ra cape. I'm buying a custom cape for my figure! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
I'm not sure when he might show up in the UK. Right now, he is a USA TARGET Exclusive figure. I just go on eBay and look up custom wired figure capes and look through the different auctions. If I get one I will show it in a follow up video👍
I actually like this design. Gotta say the figure looks way better than how he looks in the cartoon. He looked too goofy with those white bulging eyes. Gonna be looking out for this guy. I'd love it if they did a New Adventures Teela figure.
I didn't like the designs of the characters in that show either! I only watched a few episodes! He really looked silly with those eyes. But there is always room for improvement with these figures or variants like they did in the Classics and now Masterverse. I really like the design overall! They could have given him a better cape! But that's what customs are for. I already ordered one on ebay! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
I'll pass this one mostly because I like this new Horde Skeletor WAY more and was never a Fan of NA Masters Of The Universe but it is not a bad Figure by any means. As always a great and very detailed review!
Thanks for checking the review out! I can see the pass on this Skeletor or He-man from the new adventures series as far as Masterverse figures go. They are unique variants in the line and good for the people who really liked that NA series and the character designs. I think this Skeletor came out really cool. But I did buy a custom cape for him. The one they included is ridiculous! I also like the new Horde Skeletor better!👍
Thanks for checking the video out! Yeah, it looks really cool in Masterverse form. He could use a little better cape, I think. I really bought one on eBay. He is showing in certain Targets now!👍
@Themanchlid I've been buying everything online. Even that can be tricky. I just checked on Target for Masterverse Whiplash and New Adventures Skeletor. Neither one came up.
@residentvania7733 The Target online sales for these exclusives can definitely be tricky. I find it easier to go on ebay and find the best price I can get from someone who picked up a few!
He is supposed to be a Target Exclusive! But it's possible he could show up at Wallmarts. I also just painted my parts silver and bought a custom red cape! Thanks for watching 👍
Nice pick-ups! I like the way he was designed for the Masterverse line as well! I bought a custom cape for mine. The Classics Parts sound pretty cool on this figure👍
Thanks for checking out the review! I'm also really enjoying all the different Masterverse figures coming out this year! I just ordered a red custom cape that will work for this figure on eBay. It's from the same seller i bought that purple cape from that I showed in the review. Here is a link! www.ebay.com/usr/batgirl31
I have a feeling the Orline will probably see those first! But anything is possible with Masterverse as well! That would more than likely be part of the New Eternia line of figures, which would be cool to see!👍 Thanks for watching!
I watched or even knew about the cartoon at the time. I didn't see it until I started collecting the Classics and NA figures in that line. The cartoon wasn't really my thing, or the Vintage NA toys. But the characters in the Classics and Masterverse line like this Skeletor is awesome, and I also like the techno barbarian mix!👍
😎 I pre-ordered slush-head, can't wait to get him. Looking forward to your review of him. Also, I agree that they should have used a better cape! Good review 👍
Thanks for checking the review out already! Congrats on the Slush Head Preorder! I also have one on Preorder but will probably get one in hand a little early if I can. Yes, they could have added a better cape. I already ordered a custom one on eBay!👍
New Adventures Skeletor was my 1st Classics figure. I was blown away by the awesome quality. That figure has the best skull sculpt I've ever seen. This one doesn't even come close. I might pick this one up if I can find him cheap, like 50% off. I definitely don't care enough to pay full price. This is a cool figure but also a really lame figure when comparing it to Classics.
Thanks for checking the review out! Yeah I still have my Classics NA Skeletor in Card. His details are incredible as you mentioned. This Skeletor is kind if cool and has some potential to Customize a bit to make him better. But they did cheap out with the Cape and Extra paint apps.
I can't wait to see how many friggin Skeletor figures Masterverse ends up with after it's all done. lol They really need to slow down on the Skeletors & give some other characters a chance, Like Sy-Klone, Extendar, Rio-Blast (should be coming soon) and how bout some Snakemen? I would love to see a New Eternia Tung Lashor, my favorite Snakeman.
Yeah it's typical to see He-man and Skeletor variants in all the different MOTU lines. That's not really new! All those figures you mentioned will probably be coming to Masterverse next year as well as the Origins. I'm sure they have New Eternia Snakemen in the works!
Nice but I just don’t understand🤔 why they couldn’t attach his cape right on top of his chest armor where those pins are should’ve been cus as it stand I’m not feeling that choker looking cape
Yeah, exactly! It looks like they just produced another She-Ra cape with the neck ring and used that to save money. The cape definitely should have been longer and have catches to hook to those skulls or on top. I already bought a custom red cape on eBay that will work better on this Skeletor. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for stopping in Nora! He is showing up in Targets now. It's definitely a unique take on skelator going back to the new adventures. Show. I like the design and new Cybernetic look. I think he could have used more paint on the circuits and a better cape. I already painted mine and ordered a custom cape. So it's gonna be a mix for some people whether to pick up the skelator or not!
@@Themanchlid Understood He is pretty cool looking but yeah I think this one is a wait for me not a pass just a wait. I can imagine hopefully you show him in a new video once you get the cape and such going. Or even in a short if you can that would be cool😃
@jigsawnora3207 I totally understand your take on this version of Skeletor! Yes, once I get the Cape, I will bring him in in another Masterverse figure review down the road!👍
@@Themanchlid Great stuff I'm also hoping you liked what they did at sdcc for the upcoming new figures for origins and masterverse also a vintage He-man line! I'm really looking forward 😃😃😃anyways Talk to you soon have to run errands for my mom✨✨✨ Until next time😃😃😃
@jigsawnora3207 Oh, I absolutely loved the figures at SDCC! However, the Future Vintage inspired Origins will all be going to Mattel Creations to finish the lineup. Then, the Masterverse and New Origins filmation figures will be retail release. There is lots of cool stuff coming this year and next! Good hearing from you. Have a great day👌
To be fair, this is a completely tooled figure, as it seems it only share the shoulders with other Masterverse figures, so I could kinda give them a pass on that silly choker thingy, even if it does look ridiculous. :D To make things worse, they could make it look much better and cheaper by simply removing the choker piece of plastic and by shaping the cape to connect to the upper two pegs of the red armor on the chest, and it would look exactly like the Classics!
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! Yes, technically, it's new tooling. But they used previous parts like the buck, arms, and certain parts of the legs and just modified the molds with clay and sculpt the newer circuits and patterns, then retooled the body I'm guessing. They definitely could have added a longer cape with the two two straps to hook onto the Skulls or even just sit around the neck and shoulders like that custom one I showed. I already ordered a red one on eBay for this figure. Aside from that, he looks good in the Masterverse line👍
Thanks for checking out the review! Classics one is always gonna be better with deco and certain looks. This Masterverse one is cool in its own way too👍
Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! Yeah, they changed certain features with the Skeletor to fit more into the Masterverse line and designs. I'm not sure if they will make that head. The Classics didn't either. Maybe if the Origins puts an NA Skeletor out in the line, then he might have those bug eyes because it's leans more to the filmation inspiration with that line.
Yeah, he is cool, bro! I just ordered a red custom cape on eBay. I think that will make him stand out better. These are being found in some targets now. I'm not sure if they hit NY/ NJ yet. But it's worth a look!👍 Thanks for stopping in, brother !
I hated New Adventures as a kid. The NA He-man is pretty cool. This figure is ok but looks cheap. But yeah, like you said, it's nice getting variants in this Masterverse line.
Thanks for checking the reviews out as always! I also didn't care for that new adventures cartoon or the original toys. But as I said, I like seeing variant figures mixed in the Masterverse or Origins lines such as these new Adventures characters or variants of He-man and Skeletor. The sculpt and design look awesome! I already painted the missing silver circuit parts and purchased a red custom cape on eBay 👍
New Adventures He-man was a Failed Reboot. I luved the original MOTU as a kid, aside from seeing the toys in a catalog thinking what's this?? It didn't pass the urban Test phase cuz New Adventures never made it to anything near me.
I never watched or even knew about the New adventures show in the day! I watched a few episodes later when I started collecting the Classics line and those figures. I didn't care for the overall design of the show or vintage figures. But the Classics and now Masterverse New Adventures figures look really cool in opinion. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Yeah, these figures are sometimes shipped as exclusives in limited quantities. My Target never even got any NA figures that I heard of from a friend collector of mine that goes there once a week. Your best bet is hunting online, maybe. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Mattel did hint that more Princess of Power Figures will come to the Masterverse line next year at SDCC. I think we will see more down the road! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
That looks like it based on the new adventures figure of Skeletor, and a friend of mine and the cofounder noticed this on the original he saw in the back of a tractor trailer at a goodwill industries he worked at once, that figure was in the back of it and the figure was missing it’s cape and helmet then according to him💁🏻♂, and I know this is based on that figure by the way💁🏻♂.
@@kilroywashere513 it's all good! I wasn't sure what the comment was referring too or was posted to the wrong video. But yes the Masterverse made a couple new Adventures characters in this this Masterverse line which includes this Skeletor, Galactic Protector He-man and Slush Head which is coming soon!
Yeah, it could have that potential like the Dark Horse Comics. But I think it's risky with the figures. Many people don't like to much change to the Toys and figures! Thanks for watching 👍
@@Themanchlid Well, I am a model builder, and I am thinking of adding my own spin on the entire franchise. And, I am thinking of starting with Skeletor. ;)
Thanks for another great review, Manchild! This is an easy pass for me, even though New Adventures is a guilty pleasure of mine! I actually want him to have the goofy face of the cartoon with the white eyes! Speaking of the cartoon, minor correction: The Nordor Crystal actually resulted in Skeletor's 2nd transformation (He lost the cape, the helmet became more of a crown/headress, and the skull changed to a more traditional yellow with red eyes instead of white. Unfortunately, the cartoon never gave a canon reason for his initial redesign, but I understand the minicomics did.) Here's a clip of his transformation, if you're interested! th-cam.com/video/yyfGdB7sPWo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for checking the review out! I heard a couple of other people say they would prefer the white bug eyes like the animation showed. I never knew the NA Adventures cartoon, even though I started collecting the Classics figures, and then I was curious about the inspiration for the figures in the Classics line. So, I watched a few episodes and read up on some of the story. I'm more interested in just the figures. I like the design of both the Classics and now this Masterverse Skeletor. I guess Mattel wanted to go with a darker tone as fast as the head sculpt. Thanks for the additional info about the Nordor Crystal and the clip. I'm gonna check it out now!👍
Yeah, they just reused or made up another She-Ra cape, but in a darker red color, it looks like. I already painted the silver circuits on the body and ordered a custom red cape on eBay! I hope they make one in Origins! Thanks for stopping in 👍
NA is just downright Awful 🤢🤮 That being said Masterverse is AMAZING for NA Figs. And while I Loath NA I love these Masterverse versions. Classics Buck never really worked for them, too bulky.
Yeah, I never cared for the cartoon or vintage toys with this line. But it's interesting how the Classics, Origins, or now Masterverse can transform a certain figure to look like a cool variant that just blends right in. The Classics had that bulky buck design. It worked well for many figures but not others. I think this Masterverse design is just right. Thanks for stopping in already 👍

@@somarriba333 That can also work really cool if you cut it right!👍
Mars Attack! 👽
LOL. Yeah, something about that head and helmet also gives me that thought!👍
New Adventures He-man was a Failed Reboot. I luved the original MOTU as a kid, aside from seeing the toys in a catalog thinking what's this?? It didn't pass the urban Test phase cuz New Adventures never made it to anything near me.
I never watched or even knew about the New adventures show in the day! I watched a few episodes later when I started collecting the Classics line and those figures. I didn't care for the overall design of the show or vintage figures. But the Classics and now Masterverse New Adventures figures look really cool in opinion. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Does the chest piece come off?
It's not meant too. You would have cut or remove the pegs. Than there would be holes.
A first-rate review of NA Skeletor and his cool accessories! 💀
He is a decent figure in hand! Thanks for stopping by as always ✌️
@@Themanchlid You're doing awesome work! 👍
@@aaronscott5882 👍😁
@@Themanchlid 🤗
Funny how both of our "cybernetic" Skeletors have ridiculous feet.
Yeah, I guess they think those feet add to the robotic tone of the figure. Thanks for stopping in to see the review 👍
The na he-man disappeared quick at my target, hope he's still around because I need him if I find skeletor!
Yeah, these figures are sometimes shipped as exclusives in limited quantities. My Target never even got any NA figures that I heard of from a friend collector of mine that goes there once a week. Your best bet is hunting online, maybe. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
He’s periwinkle blue 🤣😊
He's really bright! 👍
@@Themanchlid I still have the Orignal with his helmet 🤣 pretty sweet . Take it easy brother
@MNC122703 I never collected any of those figures. I didn't even know the NA series was a thing until the Classics! Thanks for stopping in, brother 👌
Wish we were getting a new female She-ra character with this series!
Mattel did hint that more Princess of Power Figures will come to the Masterverse line next year at SDCC. I think we will see more down the road! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
That looks like it based on the new adventures figure of Skeletor, and a friend of mine and the cofounder noticed this on the original he saw in the back of a tractor trailer at a goodwill industries he worked at once, that figure was in the back of it and the figure was missing it’s cape and helmet then according to him💁🏻♂, and I know this is based on that figure by the way💁🏻♂.
My title and video clearly says and shows this Masterverse Skeletor is based on the New Adventures series.
I know my bad🤦🏻♂🙄.@@Themanchlid
@@kilroywashere513 👍
Yeah, I don’t know typed that in comments🤦🏻♂🙄.@@Themanchlid
@@kilroywashere513 it's all good! I wasn't sure what the comment was referring too or was posted to the wrong video. But yes the Masterverse made a couple new Adventures characters in this this Masterverse line which includes this Skeletor, Galactic Protector He-man and Slush Head which is coming soon!
Master Of The Universe should be made into fantasy horror adventures.
Yeah, it could have that potential like the Dark Horse Comics. But I think it's risky with the figures. Many people don't like to much change to the Toys and figures! Thanks for watching 👍
@@Themanchlid Well, I am a model builder, and I am thinking of adding my own spin on the entire franchise. And, I am thinking of starting with Skeletor. ;)
@@Hammern28 Thanks a good start to these figures 👍
One ring to rule eternia
👍
Thanks for another great review, Manchild! This is an easy pass for me, even though New Adventures is a guilty pleasure of mine! I actually want him to have the goofy face of the cartoon with the white eyes!
Speaking of the cartoon, minor correction: The Nordor Crystal actually resulted in Skeletor's 2nd transformation (He lost the cape, the helmet became more of a crown/headress, and the skull changed to a more traditional yellow with red eyes instead of white. Unfortunately, the cartoon never gave a canon reason for his initial redesign, but I understand the minicomics did.)
Here's a clip of his transformation, if you're interested! th-cam.com/video/yyfGdB7sPWo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for checking the review out! I heard a couple of other people say they would prefer the white bug eyes like the animation showed. I never knew the NA Adventures cartoon, even though I started collecting the Classics figures, and then I was curious about the inspiration for the figures in the Classics line. So, I watched a few episodes and read up on some of the story. I'm more interested in just the figures. I like the design of both the Classics and now this Masterverse Skeletor. I guess Mattel wanted to go with a darker tone as fast as the head sculpt. Thanks for the additional info about the Nordor Crystal and the clip. I'm gonna check it out now!👍
I'm sure someone will do a custom head eventually.
@dubuyajay9964 Oh, I'm sure there will be one on ebay or etsy at some point 👍
Cape is really cheap lol. The ring makes it look bad. I really hope they release this version in origins.
Yeah, they just reused or made up another She-Ra cape, but in a darker red color, it looks like. I already painted the silver circuits on the body and ordered a custom red cape on eBay! I hope they make one in Origins! Thanks for stopping in 👍
The MotuClassics version still 100x better, imo. 😅😊😁
Yeah I like the Classics version too! I put a custom cape on this figure now! He looks much better now!😁👍
@@Themanchlid Nice! 👍🏻😁🖖
Commando Skeletor no cape
I got a custom cape coming
dress him up into some Cyber Commando Termanstor 😅😅😅😅
You can !
it’s not wereth buying it for HighPrize
👍
looks like Fakers Body
If similar to faker a bit
NA is just downright Awful 🤢🤮
That being said Masterverse is AMAZING for NA Figs.
And while I Loath NA I love these Masterverse versions.
Classics Buck never really worked for them, too bulky.
Yeah, I never cared for the cartoon or vintage toys with this line. But it's interesting how the Classics, Origins, or now Masterverse can transform a certain figure to look like a cool variant that just blends right in. The Classics had that bulky buck design. It worked well for many figures but not others. I think this Masterverse design is just right. Thanks for stopping in already 👍
Adventur HeMan looks Better
Heman came out 👍
