I love this figure so much I purchased TWO. I don't do that for all Origins figures, but man, I needed one on card and one loose. You just can't find glow in the dark toys much anymore...and this one is awesome! I owned the original for years but I ended up selling it off some years back. It was turning orange in spots and the rubber band was deteriorating and causing not only the looseness in the legs but the rubber was causing a chemical reaction that causes the "crotch rot" on the inner leg plastic. All of that said, I would much rather own the Origins version regardless of the nostalgia of owning the original released figure. It's just a more robust design and brings home exactly what I wanted out of Scare Glow!
I was lucky enough to find Scareglow at one of my Walmarts here in Western Mass. It was around early spring or late winter, already had Orko, Trap Jaw, and Man E Faces. There was a box of assorted origins figures on a pallet on the floor and asked a store associate to open it and it was wave 2, I grabbed the Scareglow figure and dashed for the check out like a bat out of hell!.
When this line came out, I told myself I wasn’t getting them. I figured id like the revelation line better. Boy was I wrong! I love this line now & very much enjoy collecting them. Hopefully wave 3 gets restocked soon! I refuse to pay scalpers
Excellent vid and thank you for adorning your wall with the one I sent 😁. In the other MOTU Classics figs I got, the comic is just panels, no words- so bonus opening the North America version. An actual comic!
Awesome video of MOTU Scare Glow Origins, I'm glad that you have a few in your collection because they are really nice to have and they're quite different than the other action figures in the MOTU toyline. You have the coolest toys and the best YT channel followers. You rock Michael.
Scare Glow was one of the last He-Man figures I had. Being a fan of horror books, comics, and movies Scare Glow was one of my favorite bad guys in the original line up. I'm limited on space where I live for action figures so instead of trying to complete everything. I'm just buying figures that I think are really cool. This Scare Glow certainly fits that bill. Another way to get these glow in the dark figures to really light up is to shine a UV black light on them. I recently bought one of those lights and put my bottle of glow in the dark paint in front of it, and it really glowed bright. Also the translucent green eyes on my vintage Redwood figure from the Inhumanoids line glowed super bright with a UV light as well.
I loved Scare Glow as a kid...and not just because of the glow feature. That original cloth cape was the perfect material for a figure like that. I have the Classics figure and will be getting the Origins one if I'm lucky.
Thank you for the great review, Michael! I FINALLY got him on eBay a couple of weeks ago for $16 99 US Dollars shipped! He was my holy grail in origins! I could hear the excitement in your voice over the figure and I feel the same way! Again, thank you for all that you do for us. 'Til all are one!
Origins line arms, hands, boots, head and torso are designed to be interchangeable. It’s a really cool play feature my son and I have enjoyed. Love the videos 😁
These figures are actually really tolerant of the hot water treatment. I've had a few of these with tight elbows, and since the arms will pop off, they are easy to soak in warm/hot water for a minute or two. After soaking, the elbows were much easier to 'unfreeze,' and I had no fear of breaking anything. Scare Glow looks awesome! I wasn't as interested in this figure, but now I think I'm gonna have to get one.
So glad to see you've acquired one. This is the only Origins figure I've seen in a store once. Once. He's a great figure, it's a bummer he's not so easy to get ahold of.
I remember my cousin and I got to pick one figure and I picked Sssqueeze and he had the Scareglow. Once it got dark I got so jealous and felt I definitely picked wrong. But the original didn’t light up as bright as yours Michael. Thank u for the excellent vid 🙏
Hey Michael. I thank for you for this vlog on such wonderful toys like Motu. It's funny that you are showing us one of the most awesome made action figures in the toyline, Scareglow. I just sent for it from BBTS n after such a long time of trying to acquire the original n this one also, I finally was able to purchase it. A very beautiful action figure and a hard one to buy as well. Nerdmaste! 🙏🏼
I just got mine yesterday and I love this figure. Going to have to do some paint touchups as you see I do in the discord but overall not much extra work is going to have to go into him.
I've converted most of the walk in closet in my bedroom to be a figure display area and now, at night, I can see him glow as I try to sleep. The MOTWEU glow figure doesn't glow as well but the Modern ReAction Robocop figure is pretty close.
So generous of Eric. Pretty cool figure, shake on the vintage prices, but this is the next best thing! Thanks for the wonderful review Mr Mercy! Nerdmasté.
Michael, I've had the elbow joints lock up on some of my Origins figures in the past. A way to fix it, is fill a half of glass of hot water and remove the arms and hands from the figure, then soak the arms in the hot water for about 5 minutes. That will loosen up the joints so they articulate at the elbow again. I've had to do that with mine, different characters but it does happen. You might know that trick already to fix it, but I just wanted to let you know in case you didn't. ha ha
I was looking for information on, Google for this guy but writ squelegrow instead of scare glow haha the fisrt is a medicine from Harry Potter to repair bones
I got mine from bbts and they are leagues better that entertainment earth in stocking and shipping items. I ordered scareglow last year and they still don't have in stock. If possible I'm ordering my stuff from bbts. They are great.
Thanks for the review. Got a bunch of MOTU:O including Scare Glow a few weeks ago. This line is such a great addition to the toy landscape. Such a perfect blend of nostalgia and affordability.

Thanks! Gave it a read and it's just so cool to see Scare Glow finally getting to do something.

I got one on Amazon(it never arrived)

So awesome! Mine is still carded as well. The struggle is real!

Just ordered one for my nephew. Thank you, Michael.

Luckily it seems Mattel is making plenty. They've been sold out at BBTS a few times and are back in stock again.
Tremendous! Great look at Scareglow! I hope the Origins line sticks around for a bit.
Thanks Bob!

Scare Glow was a sweet bonus when I picked my favs in a bundle. I got them on display. Next will be a few cats to add.
Congrats Droz!

Thanks Dave, enjoy your Scare Glow!
I've got Scareglow in my Pile of Loot at BBTS. Soon as I get some more figures in the pile I'll send em all to save on shipping.
I just got mine yesterday and I love this figure. Going to have to do some paint touchups as you see I do in the discord but overall not much extra work is going to have to go into him.
Maybe some glow in the dark paint on the weapon like the classics version has?
The classics scareglow is currently the same price as a vintage…maybe a $50 difference. Make sense out of that! I’m glad I decided to go origins.
I do have the original. I didn’t know he was that sought after. I did order this one too can’t wait to compare them
I've converted most of the walk in closet in my bedroom to be a figure display area and now, at night, I can see him glow as I try to sleep. The MOTWEU glow figure doesn't glow as well but the Modern ReAction Robocop figure is pretty close.
Picked him up from BBTS. Great figure
Yes, awesome figure! Eric is the man.
The man...of Man!
Scare glow is one of the figures I need for collection
Great review. He is a MUST!
Thanks!
Looks good but the original is the best looking imo.
Even after so many years.
Cool looking toy.
So generous of Eric. Pretty cool figure, shake on the vintage prices, but this is the next best thing! Thanks for the wonderful review Mr Mercy! Nerdmasté.
Thanks Gazz!

I also ordered Scareglow from BBTS along with Hordak 👍
Enjoy!

I didn't have Scareglow as a kid and hadn't planned on ordering one, but your review convinced me. Just ordered off Big bad. 💀🙂
Enjoy!

Hey looks so cool
FedEx is taking its time getting mine to me lol
Got 4 Original Vintage Scareglows and 2 Origins.
I think Mark Hamill should've voiced Scare Glow in Revelations instead of Skeletor. His voice fits Scare Glow much more than Skeletor
Great idea!
Hopefully you were able to track down the Undertaker
You should do a G.I. Joe A real American hero edition 1987
Yup.
Yo joe
Absolutely my favorite glow in the dark figure!!!😁😁😁. Outstanding review as always good brother!👍
Thank you, Bill! 🙏
Michael are you going watch Netflix he man show
Sure.
Just ordered mine lol the price went up a little bit they’re now $17.99
Dang.
Dip those elbows in hot water, boiling hot, and work them loose. Otherwise they will snap.
I have scare glow
Thanks for the review. Got a bunch of MOTU:O including Scare Glow a few weeks ago. This line is such a great addition to the toy landscape. Such a perfect blend of nostalgia and affordability.
