Ok so Dan I hate to rain on the parade but at 14:04 the side by side comparison, it looks like the newer cartoon He-man has two left shins. I believe you've got a QC defect there man.
Origins is an amazing toy line. I gave a bunch of figures to my friend’s kid and he’s been having a blast playing with them and swapping the parts out. They really nailed it for kids and adults
I may be in the minority, but I would have preferred more new characters. I am hoping they can finish the original vintage line along with Princess of Power.
@@sunnyshine2215 Translation: they ran out of the popular characters that would actually sell at retail to make. Same thing happened with DC Universe Classics back in the day once they started filling the line with deep cuts and auxiliary characters it died.
The reason why the figures in the animated series were different was because the animations were based on motion capture with human beings as models, for example you can see that when they run, they have a realism characteristic of that technique. Therefore, "Filmation" toy figures must be proportioned properly and that is why they are different. Greetings from Ecuador!
The addition of the starburst saying “80’s Adventures” leads me to believe that they’re gonna also do 200x, Revelations, New Adventures, and/or Netflix MOTU
They look really great and the fact that Mattel made new sculpts for this line is awesome. He Man's Face is maybe the best so far and Beast Man looks also great. Can't wait until Skeletor comes. Imagine Mattel would bring out a Castle Grayskull in Filmation style...or Snake Mountain...drool 🤤
I'm going to pick and choose. My nostalgia for the cartoon is limited since "my" MotU canon came from the German audio dramas but I won't say "no" to either a Filmation She-Ra, Hordak or Shadow Weaver. All in all I'd have preferred Mattel finishing the rest of the "vintage toy" line of Origins before rolling out this series. Now that most of the figures built around the standard body are done, Mattel seem super reluctant to deliver the specialty figs like Dragstor, Modulok or Extendar.
I think this is the best version of animated He-Man that's ever been done so far. I have a couple nitpicks. The thighs look weird (kinda like Galaxy Warriors). The boots are wrong. And why is it so hard to do an up-down wrist so he can do his iconic pose? I wonder if someone has a patent on that kind of joint so they use it very sparingly to avoid royalties.
You showed the main thing that I had been wondering about - that the scabbard is detachable. I like the scabbard, but I also like that it can be removed so it isn't visible from the front.
Both these figures look really good and I can't wait to add them to my MOTU collection. It'll be very nice to get these Filmation designs alongside everything else. Hopefully the cartoon collection expands outwards to things like Filmation She-Ra, 200X He-Man, and the newer CGI He-Man, lots of possibilities there.
I can't believe that 20 years after Marvel Legends and DCUC made 6.5" the absolute standard for adult collector action figures, we still don't have a MOTU line that is properly in scale with it. We've got two 7" lines (Classics and Masterverse), a 5.5" line (Origins) and a line that's exactly 6" (this new one) but still if you want a He-Man that'll play with your Black Series, Elite Collection etc. we still don't really have it. Classics probably comes closest because you can fudge them in with the excuse that they're MEANT to be bigger and bulkier than your other figures, but that doesn't explain why the regular human characters like Queen Marlena still tower over Spider-Man and Green Lantern. I suppose in reality the closest we've gotten is the 200x line but of course those were all based on updated designs, you can't get the classic versions of characters in that line. Plus the articulation is far below what other compatible lines offer.
Thanks a lot Dan!... I do love what Super7 did mixing the toyline with the Filmation aesthetic, but these new ones man, they look way better and more accurate, definitely going all in with this new line
This is a fun idea! For me though, the new Origins head is already perfect & the best balance between comics and cartoons, (especially compared to the original Benicio Del Toro head lol) so I’ll skip this. But I want to see more characters in this line! 💯 Funimation FTW 🌟💯
At last!!Very nice sculpts from the company.And for first time(in my opinion),a nice try for Heman's head!!Beast Man is very nice figure!! They were in mood when they create those figures(sorry for my english).
I have no problem with this new direction and have in fact pre-ordered all of the figures. My only problem is we are still missing so many classic great figures. And not just are we missing figures, we're missing a whole group of characters called the great rebellion. I want to see the great rebellion made into origins before I want to see the cartoon.
So far, I've reviewed Cartoon Collection Prince Adam and Cringer, SHE-RA, Clawful. Clawful, Adam are the exact same height as Origins Battle Armor Skeletor and the female figures are all still the same height Origins or Cartoon Collection. I can clearly see your cartoon collection He-man has much taller boots than regular Origins but I still can't find a figure that is a different height than regular Origins. I don't have Cartoon Collection He-man though.
Dan, Masters Of The WWE "The Rock" has the correct Origins Filmation He-Man color, and it matches the Classics versions of both Mattel and Super7. I have made my Origins Filmation He-Man figure off of "The Rock". Only thing is he had gold arm bracers, instead of orange. It's too bad that Mattel didn't go with that color for skin tone with the new body. I will still collect the cartoon line, love Filmation too much! :)
The overall figure looks excellent to me, but in my opinion, the shade of yellow in the hair is too light!!! It should be a mix of orange and ochre yellow, in other words, much darker! Then, in my opinion, He-Man would be perfect!
I can't wait to get these. With this combination of scale, articulation, animation styling and animation-specific accessories, these are truly the figures we old men have been waiting 40 years to get. Also, I'd love to get "expression" packs from Mattel Creations featuring multiple interchangeable heads for the figures. Laughing He-Man, Robot He-Man and Laughing Skeletor immediately come to mind.
I'm so excited for these. I already have them pre-orderd at BBTS. This opens up the possibility for a Filmation Panthor grayskull, etc... Fingers crossed I just hope people love them also.
Hey! @pixeldan you know, I wish mattel would make an accessory pack of hands/boots/feet/gloves. Because the cartoon collection without the armor would make a great looking Savage He-Man if we had bare feet…especially for the origins line (because the slight height difference).
Hi Pixel Dan, So excited about these Filmation figures for Masters of the universe. I really look forwards to see which characters they decide to bring out. Really hope we get Evil-Lynn with the black cape thing.
I was able to grab these up a little early. I love them both. Super pumped to get this new line and the sculpts are great. I'm hoping the females in this line have better looking face sculpts and nice looking knees.
looking good, so im guessing if the knees are bent a little they would look more like the origins line, cannot wait to try to get ones I missed from the origins line that the scalpers have on ransom
I'm excited for this line. It's just a shame that the colours on these first two figures are so inaccurate to the cartoon. Mattel made He-Man very pale, and Beast Man should be a much darker shade of orange, almost red. One look at the cover of the official cartoon guide book, and you can clearly see how tanned He-Man should be.
@@michaelj2276It's not the lighting. This new He-Man has the exact same skin tone as the regular Origins He-Man, as he showed in this video. Better get a can of spray-on tan!
That's what Mattel plan on doing. Unfortunately, nearly all of the remaining vintage figures require 100% unique sculpts, and complex action features that are an integral part of their designs (Rio Blast, Extendar, Rokkon, Stonedar, Modulok, Dragstor, and Multi-Bot all have transforming abilities). Selling them at retail is too much of a financial risk, which is why they will be Mattel Creations exclusives. The cartoon figures and upcoming retail Origins figures (like Terroar and the Turtles crossover figures) are cheaper to produce, so they are a safer bet for Mattel at retail, and the sales of those will help pay for the tooling of the exclusives.
Mattel doesn't believe in darker colors, everything a little too light! Did they not look at the Classics line they did? lol!! Or the Cartoon for accurate colors? Oh well.....
These are pretty cool looking and I’m happy for those that wanted them, but I got into origins for the original line so I’ll just be sticking to vintage style figures, that’s all I’ve done from the start other than the 2 200X figures.
15:00 "So, here we go! Naked He-Man party! Lol! But, this is just to demonstrate how different the sculpts actually are...!" Yeah... sure it is, Dan, Sure it is... 😏
the reason why they aren't using the Flimation logo is because of Trademark, Copyright, and IP Laws, and trust me it would cost a lot to have that Filmation logo on as you would have to pay royalties too

Hey Dan, thanks for another excellent review...always enjoy your take on all things MOTU. Are you still due to review a few other Origins figures from previous waves...like Squeeze, Serpent Claw Man-at-Arms, Spikor etc etc?
They'll probably put all cartoon MOTU under that "Cartoon" branding. They have some 200X Teela parts tooled up already and have yet to actually get 200X Teela.
Pixel Dan, do you have any information about Cartoon Man-at-arms availability? He wasn't supposed to be an exclusive but he isn't available for PO on BBTS. :(
![ละลาย (LALALYE) - DAOU PITTAYA ต้าห์อู๋ พิทยา [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wo6r9TgausI/mqdefault.jpg)
Every He-Man figure should include a hand with the vertical wrist articulation. That "sword aloft" pose is iconic.
I’m really excited for these especially after this video. I really hope we get Filmation characters like Masque, Shokoti and Plundor.
We Got them in classics, a chance for New Eternia figures, so mayhaps there’ll be a chance for origins
It'd be cool if we get Zodac and his magical chair
Please not the pink bunny
@@markpierce4416 we need the pink bunny. For world peace.
It would be nice that Mattel make cats in Cartoon Collections :)

I may be in the minority, but I would have preferred more new characters. I am hoping they can finish the original vintage line along with Princess of Power.
They are still finishing the vintage line, that will be available on Mattel Creations but this Cartoon line will be at retail.
@@sunnyshine2215 but it's more difficult to get than just going to your usual toy shop and get them.
@@sunnyshine2215 Translation: they ran out of the popular characters that would actually sell at retail to make.

@@SergioAL
Not when they are Walmart releases. A lot of walmarts are not carrying MOTU anymore.
The legs are straighter at the knees. So they are the same size as the regular origins. But technically the same length.
That Super7 filmation He-Man in vintage style is the stuff of nightmares .... that hair sculpt alone OMG!
Btw, you can push the sword all the way down in the sheath but it is a tight fit and might scratch up the sword.
that he man is AWSOME

It would be great if they had knives in their boots in the new cartoon version of Heman
Dan, any insight in how deep the cartoon collection will go compared to current Origins?
I think this is the best version of animated He-Man that's ever been done so far. I have a couple nitpicks. The thighs look weird (kinda like Galaxy Warriors). The boots are wrong. And why is it so hard to do an up-down wrist so he can do his iconic pose? I wonder if someone has a patent on that kind of joint so they use it very sparingly to avoid royalties.
I pre-ordered mine already; this is how action figures should be made, cartoon-accurate!!
17:24 on the left, we have Robert Burke's Robocop 3 wearing He-man's wig. 🤣🤣🤣
I. LOVE. THAT. CARD. ART.
I can’t find any of these toys in stores nor any new masterveres figures
You showed the main thing that I had been wondering about - that the scabbard is detachable. I like the scabbard, but I also like that it can be removed so it isn't visible from the front.
Both these figures look really good and I can't wait to add them to my MOTU collection. It'll be very nice to get these Filmation designs alongside everything else.

I’m mad that Mattel has gotten me into yet ANOTHER subline of the same characters I now have many, many versions of 🤣🤣. Im all in.

This is so far the most detailed review I've seen for these.
At last!!Very nice sculpts from the company.And for first time(in my opinion),a nice try for Heman's head!!Beast Man is very nice figure!!
They were in mood when they create those figures(sorry for my english).
After my Mondo Battle Cat, I told myself I was out of MOTU collecting... but I did pre-order He-Man and Skeletor from this wave 😆

And not just are we missing figures, we're missing a whole group of characters called the great rebellion. I want to see the great rebellion made into origins before I want to see the cartoon.
Beast Man's whip is a victim of shrinkflation.

That's not a double entendre.
The artwork of Francisco Etchart is full of power!

Hello from the UK🇬🇧 Dan👋
New animated He-Man has bigger balls…. In you face classics!!😀👍

Sy Klone & Extendar origins were at the convention. When are they coming?
It would be interesting to see how they fit with the Origin Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain...
Yeah, it's disappointing that Dan didn't even show He-Man riding Battle Cat.
@@Rocket1377 he uploaded pictures on his Instagram.
I like em. Lol now I want a Filmation accurate Grayskull and Snake Mountain
He man and shera Christmas special toy line box set or adam and adora just a idea
The added height actually comes from the boots!
Thank you so much. All the answers i hoped for. Finally the perfect He-Man figure can be swapped together.
I'm so excited for these. I already have them pre-orderd at BBTS. This opens up the possibility for a Filmation Panthor grayskull, etc... Fingers crossed I just hope people love them also.

I like Beast Man he was my late brother's favorite character for vintage MOTU.

Poor Super7 He-Man looks like he's melting
I was able to grab these up a little early. I love them both. Super pumped to get this new line and the sculpts are great. I'm hoping the females in this line have better looking face sculpts and nice looking knees.
He Man look good ol
That is a toyline on life support. By the way, the sculpt on the legs is awful, these lines do not draw any existing muscle
I think the reason He-man and Beast man are usually the first ones released is because they have different bodies, and not just recolors.
You sure about that? Look again. Other than heads and boots, they are identical.
@@northstar5 I was talking in general, because in previous lines, He-man gat the hairless body and Beastman had the furry version.
I love these! Can’t wait to add to my collection.
looking good, so im guessing if the knees are bent a little they would look more like the origins line, cannot wait to try to get ones I missed from the origins line that the scalpers have on ransom
Got them both! I love that Beast Man.

Looks cool. The card is very tall, about twice the height of the figure. Thanks for the review!
I actually love the sculpt on these. I hope we get a better Tee-la too.
These look very cool but I hope they finish out the characters in the original origins bodies as well.

I haven’t collected any origins since i was a kid but, being a fan of the filmation series, these might make me start again
Its great they have decided to change the sculpt and i love a non smiling He man btw ❤
Pretty cool figures! If I had the room, I would pick them up.
I always wanted the toys to look like the cartoon more so this is a dream come true for me enjoyed the review
A thoroughly enjoyable video, cheers!
Mattel doesn't believe in darker colors, everything a little too light! Did they not look at the Classics line they did? lol!! Or the Cartoon for accurate colors? Oh well.....
I really do enjoy your figure reviews there great!!! I so love the comparison time!!!! Great stuff!!! Keep up the great work Dan!!!! 👍
Would we ever see a collector friendly packaging
Great review! Got these preordered online but will grab on sight if they hit the stores first 😂
These are pretty cool looking and I’m happy for those that wanted them, but I got into origins for the original line so I’ll just be sticking to vintage style figures, that’s all I’ve done from the start other than the 2 200X figures.
I am definitely getting these. Really looking forward to collecting this line !! These will have to go towards your next book ;-)
Another amazing review. So glad I pre-ordered all of these.
Now this is the MOTU line i've been waiting for!
15:00 "So, here we go! Naked He-Man party! Lol! But, this is just to demonstrate how different the sculpts actually are...!"
Yeah... sure it is, Dan, Sure it is... 😏
Why no masterverse comparison time?
I love these! Great additions to Origins
I hope they do hordak
Just want He man & Skeletor & couple others from this line
the reason why they aren't using the Flimation logo is because of Trademark, Copyright, and IP Laws, and trust me it would cost a lot to have that Filmation logo on as you would have to pay royalties too
I wondered if these Filmation heads work on the Masterverse line?
I like that they're a bit taller and hope more characters are added to this line. ^^
Totally Awesome New MOTU Figures! Thanks Pixel Dan for sharing! ❤ 👍👍

Pixel Dan - you are a class act! You always have such engaging content! Never stop!
Dig these. Just wish Beast Man was a darker orange.
They'll probably put all cartoon MOTU under that "Cartoon" branding. They have some 200X Teela parts tooled up already and have yet to actually get 200X Teela.
when u look at heman boots at 15:54 the right boot dont look right its like its too left boots now not the feet but the uper boot
Why do they never seem to go blue on He-Man's armor?
