Loving all the Snake Men stuff but come on Mattel, we need some Evil Horde now. I had to buy like 8 Horde Troopers just to make the Horde shelf look like something.
Yep :( Horde is my favorite faction and its been largely ignored by Mattel so far. I just pre-ordered Horde Trooper Prime today so at least that made me feel a bit better .. but technically he is just a reissue with minor changes (Yet cool changes).
I have snake man fatigue myself, but I am stoked on this character. His head looks pretty bad ass. I do wish they would've given us the feet and creepy weapon from the concept drawing
I have really been enjoying the 'decade' of the SnakeMen, i love having every MOTU figure come with a SnakeMen headed card. In all honesty i am sick to death with the SnakeMen and their constant hundreds of spin off's deep cut characters. Some of them are cool ... but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Also Eldor ... cant wait to get a old man MOTU figure sounds like fun.
The weapon is actually the Wrestling lady crossovers wand🤪 But having Eternia, you know I want Vypor. Even though I’m not really big fan of the snake faction, but he looks great, and some others do too.
2:02 - That was a contest of the "late" Matty Collector, intended for fans to submit their designs for a MOTU Classics action figure. I think that it took place around the 30th anniversary of the franchise. And this was the winning concept. P.S. - Idk why they didn't name the character just 'Grayskullman'. "Castle Grayskullman" is quite demented and overlong and it doesn't make sense. Bloody Hell!! 😀
Hi Ken! Great video. I am ready to move on from the Snake Men. I hope there's not more than 3 or 4 more coming. We already have enough to fill the Snake Lair playset, which I am in NO hurry for due to display space. With that said, Vypor is an amazing looking figure. He'll look great guarding over my Viper Tower with Rattlor. Interesting that he comes with the same staff that the Masters of the WWE Stephanie McMahon figure came with. But hers was fully painted. I'm not sure if it was originally from some other Lyn figure. But on the other hand, after the snakes, and the final OG figures, there's not a lot of characters left. If we want the line to continue, they have to keep making SOMTHING. I will be ready for Origins to wrap after they complete the OG line and release the majority of the vehicles. The Cartoon Collection and Turtles of Grayskull have the potential to be around for quite a while.
although i did vote for Lady Slither's lair, the Eternia's Choice voting was very suspicious. WAY too many comments expressed disappointment relative to the few who were pleased with the outcome
I don’t relate to most figure concepts post vintage line, which had concepts created by amazing artists with very unique designs. All of these post-vintage snake men designs done in the last 10 years or so, by great contemporary artists - some of whom also do artwork for packaging nowadays for MOTU origins, which I truly love - don’t look like they belong to the MOTU lore for me. I didn’t get any one of those contemporary snake men figures, however the snake men are my favorite Motu faction. And I also love the Origins skeleton warriors and Eternian Guard figures, which are also not from the original vintage line, as I’m actually opened to modern iterations in MOTU. I’m glad for the people that like that design and got this figure, as I think it is a truly well-made mold no matter what.
I think they said Vypor is fan channel (online stores) like Reptilax. It's getting rather silly. They were finally making progress on teased Snake-Men, so let's tease some more. We still have: Quick Flick Goldenrod Stretch-Neck The red tailed one from Mossman's box art High Priest Pythonus These new horned lizard army builders Possibly the Classics troop builder Snakemen (so far only seen in mini comic) I still feel like I've left someone out. Why not more snakewomen? I guess Lady Slyther is the paper crown princess.
It is- trademark issues because Mattel couldn’t secure the ‘Vypor’ trademark. The same thing happened with the Keldor & Kronis 2-pack; on the box is written:‘Origins Kronis’ instead of ‘Kronis’.
I'm bored of the Snakemen figures. But this one, I think looks great. This one and Fang-or fit in nicely with the original 6 Snakemen. I think 🤔 we are good after that. *** Mattel*** Enough Snakes 🐍!!!! Give us The Horde!!! Everyone wants more Horde...Modulok, Dragstor, Multibot plus Shadow weaver and Catra in origins form. Also why are we sleeping on Two-bad, Rio Blast and Stondar.
agree on the weapons mismatch for sure, needs a pirate type sword
3:28 - Those are chameleons, man! Darn it! Lol!
definitely chameleons. where's Fearless Photog? translucent green slime pit he-man? fighting foe men?
Jackson`s chameleons no doubt.

I would like some reptile-themed vehicle for them. Either ground-based or flying, I don't care.
1:21 - "Vyper Vypor 2.0" is a high intensity fitness roller. 🙂

3:59 - A lame cost-saving measure is my bet.

There is about 12-14 vintage figures left, at MC release rate thats quite a few years left easily.
Castle Grayskullman coming soon I hope. 🤞🏼

It was totally rigged ... i dont think it was a fair contest at all.

I wonder if will get castle grayskull man too?
Ah yeah, the Point Dread Guy and Slime Pit Homie two-pack
Grayskull Man was the result of a fan vote tho
I really hope the packaging isn’t the final run as ‘Origins’ Vypor.

We have a lot of aging dinosaurs in here whining about Snake Men... arguably the best part of He-Man... Can't get enough snake men.
Another snakeman -- I think I'll pass.
