First we had the original action figure, then the cartoon, then an action figure with more articulation and details based on the original vintage figure, then a figure with more articulation but based on the cartoon and finally a figure that is based on the cartoon but looks like the original vintage figure. Man, that's one hell of a origin..oh wait!?
@@CommanderOfTheSun , Yes like always, sometimes with all versions when it was possible, that's true too. I understood your comment as he stop his famous comparison time now.
Once again, Pixel Dan works his magic with a great review and now I want this figure lol. Between an original MOTU release and this figure I don't know where to put my focus lol. Thanks again for another great review Dan. Love the enthusiam and information you bring to your reviews. #PixelDust
I really wish they had used the Mer-Man corn sword that came with the light blue comics version of Mer-Man that came with Aqua Man in the DC vs. MOTU series. The corn sword that came with this figure has the vestigial hand-guard which is based off the sculpt from the original sword that was designed to allow it to be held in the sculpted "claw" hand of the evil warriors figures. With the hands the collectors' choice classics and now club grayskull series has there is NO REASON for the vestigial hand-guard other than nostalgia and the sword that the blue Mer-Man came with actually looks and performs a million times better in his hand.
The cartoon series for sure. I want that childhood feel I once had as a kid. I have most classics, but that is only if there are no huge noticeable changes from the cartoon itself. I do, however, prefer figures that look like the original cartoon.
It feels good to have pretty much all the main baddies now. I love this Mer-Man. It would be great if S7 molded the hands in color rather than painting them. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy.
I gotta say this is the coolest channel on you tube . I know we could look retarded to outsiders but they will never know how awesome he man is Mer man was always one of my faves and i can still do a petty good impression of him. I agree he looks just like cartoon character finally
You should have shown the "vintage" 1980s toy head on the classics body that came with the classics toy to truly showcase the differences. The 2003 remake head is not an accurate representation of the classics toy look.
Good luck with that and hope you won't regret it. If you don't believe me check out the Super 7 prototypes of Sorceress and Teela vs. the released versions. There's a lot of people on Internet complaining about that! Definitely, that's a crime in the toy industry and an insult to collectors
When I was a kid in the 80s, watching the cartoon, I was super pissed when my mom bought me Mer-Man and he had that Stin-kor head, instead of the cartoon head. Shockingly, it made me not want more He-Man figures and I went full-on GI Joe with some Transformers, Thundercats and TMNT thrown in here and there. Damn you Mer-Man! :(
These figures are average at best, not sure if they are worth the $35 price point and waiting a year to get them from time of ordering. My Merman is broken and they tell you to email them and they will take care of it but they never respond to emails. Super7 needs to drastically improve their customer service. I can deal with having to wait for these to arrive but when they arrive damaged and they don't respond to emails (because they don't provide a phone number), maybe they should let someone else take over the license...
Ever since i saw this guy on ebay i wanted 1 but i ain't paying those sort of prices for an 8 inch tall piece of plastic. Waiting for some Chinese bootlegs to be produced. lol

Super 7 QC is getting much better. Thank you for another awesome review Dan! and keep it coming S7.

I remember when Pixel Dan would do a comparison of all versions of a character...
He always do this
@@komyo8602 It's not in this video? He just compares to one figure.

O M G HE LOOKS AWESOME!!

great review as always
thanks for making these
Waiting on mine to come in from BBTS....any day now I think.
Love both. I want the new 5,5" in Merman
I love Merman! He has my favorite character design along with Skeletor!
Esta muy cool de los que ya han salido en filmation es mi favorito
I loved Merman as a child....
I gotta say this is the coolest channel on you tube . I know we could look retarded to outsiders but they will never know how awesome he man is
Mer man was always one of my faves and i can still do a petty good impression of him. I agree he looks just like cartoon character finally
My fav figure was merman. This one is awesome
I wonder why they went with the greenish blue color. He is most definitely a blue in the animation. Hmmmmm
My Mer-Man is green, while the figure in this video looks blue...
Probably everyone sees a different color so they went with neither. It's a bluish green or a greenish blue. Lol
awesome this figure.

Nice 👍💪
Great review and figure! Too bad with that crooked left leg. Looks a bit wierd.
The Flimation version was number one it looks great!
These recent figures look to have issues on the lower legs. Very weird angles.
My Filmation Mer-Man is green, not blue! :( How come?
Why does he have a Corn sword
Besides the great fail on Sorceress, Teela and Tri-klops I have to admit that this figure looks great!
Who's making these figures since Matty went belly up?
By your review I’m glad I preordered Heman, Skeletor, and Shera!
Good luck with that and hope you won't regret it.
If you don't believe me check out the Super 7 prototypes of Sorceress and Teela vs. the released versions.
There's a lot of people on Internet complaining about that!
Definitely, that's a crime in the toy industry and an insult to collectors
Production figures usually don't look as good as their prototypes.
Mr clean magic eraser should clean that spear right up
Where is the poopy?
I think the Filmation animated cartoon figures are more awesome than the vintage and classic figures
Fourth cool video again pixel dan do more
If it’s made by super7. Why is he keep saying horseman did it
with all the political bs, and all the hardships of life, your videos are a nice way to forget. thanks man.
Ocean man
Mer, mer, meer, Meeeerrrr!
That older classics version looks ridiculous. Look like the Mardi Gras version.😂😂😂
Merman like:)
I like the less detailed looks. Ie grislor looks way better
You could almost use the new one as an army built if you had the money

Shockingly, it made me not want more He-Man figures and I went full-on GI Joe with some Transformers, Thundercats and TMNT thrown in here and there. Damn you Mer-Man! :(
I was really hoping his real name was Thurman Merman.
