Wow, the PD doesn’t allow a standard Origins figure to fit inside standing?! That’s definitely a design failure! Sigh… The TF on the other hand is a win and a good upgrade.
I just got this at ross for 14 bucks and it has no black over spray at all were it attached to grayskull ! So them must have fixed it !!! It dose still have shades of black but its not so glaring as that black strip at the bottom of it . But wow what a find for 14 bucks !
Hmm it’s unfortunate the Point Dread isn’t big enough for a figure to stand - how did Mattel pass that?! Thank goodness the Talon Fighter is awesome, which is what I’m buying this for! Good review!!
You mentioned the black paint on Point Dread. I just bought this a day ago and mine actually doesn't have that. Perhaps they released newer versions that resolved that issue.
The black paint on the part that connects to Grayskull is so disappointing. I doesn't blend, totally stands out and I dislike it very much. Probably end up displaying my Point Dread on it's own or storing it away never to be seen again.
So I got my Point Dread and Talon Fighter a couple weeks ago and mine didn’t have any black on the paint, so it seems like there may have been a running change
Great review, addressing all aspects. I just missed a mix-with-the-vintage look, to see how origins PD sits on OG Grayskull. But so far, best review online.
All the Origins vechiles have been better than the originals. The vehicles are where Origins really shines. The figures can be very hit and miss, some with very soft face sculpts or just straight up copies of the originals. But the vehicles and Grayskull have been great updates in quality and detail
PD represents my favorite Christmas memories. A big thank you to Mattel for making it so far with Origins. They have done an A+ job with the line....just like GDL did with this video. :) #motulives
@@GeekDadLife ugh. Thank you! I may have to buy a second one to rip apart and re-install in my junker vintage Point Dread so I can get the right height
Jay, I got my TF/PD and it does not have the black overspray on the front. The black paint is actually on the steps. No weird color matching issue with Grayskull.
@@GeekDadLifeI just picked one up from my local Walmart. It did not have the spray on the lower ledge at all. Just a mild spray on the steps and the lower part of the base. Since I got mine a while later, it might be a running change?
It would have been better if mattel would have included the record and book like the the original. I never had the talon fighter as a kid but I ordered 3of them lol. I did not know the talon fighter came out in 1983. The talon also has that nastalgia feeling to it. The colors are vibrant and pops out. The point Dread have a lot issues but it's a must have it's been 40 years and know l have point Dread. For the figures not to be placed in the point Dread easy like the the original is really a let down on mattel s part. Good video sir
I always loved Point Dread as a kid… as much if not more than even Grayskull! Does the computer come out of the lower base, and could it help anchor the top and Talon fighter to the Grayskull tower? Either way, I will definitely be picking this up… and doing my own review @oldskooltoyz. Not sure how I’ll add to your excellent review, though. Excellent content as always!
it looks shiny , i am not sure if i like it or if i like the matte finish of the original, they are cheap by making the stand fortress shorter and smaller, they are cheap also by not giving any of the figures their action features, like Whiplash has no rubber tail and Mechaneck doesn't extend and Kobra Kahn doesn't squirt .
I know people will not all agree but getting free items for a review is still a form of payment and the odds of beeing 100% real in your opinion are against the one who does that. If someone gives you something for free, your opinion will be differend then you had no ties with this company and make your own opinion. Still in your mint you know it's for free so it can influence your opinion. Who disagrees is fine, I respect other "adult" opinion, but respect my sight on this getting free stuff for a review.
I totally understand that, I think everyone has to form their own opinion on it. Outside of the toy world, a lot of people that do product reviews get them for free from the maker. (usually stuff that is way more expensive than toys like tech, cars etc) so the reviewer has no money staked to their appreciation of the item. I think its the responsibility of the reviewer to still cover everything they like and dont like about an item. I know I feel good about the fact that in this review I shared everything I loved and didn't like about this set. The same level that I would give if I didn't get it from the company. So I think if you watch this thing all the way through and don't think this opinion was really my own, that's fine, but for me I know it is.
@@GeekDadLife Hi GDL, I agree as I looked it all the way you did just that. I just wanted to say people whould get a wrong impression as you, fairly stated, got the item for free that you review, others could find this weird. But I feel it was good you were honest about it and was critical on the view parts you thought were not the best.
Vintage has a cool darker color scheme.... However, origins does have "glass" for the windows annnnnnd a GAPING hole in its rear that you can pop a plug into. Tough call. Nice review!
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 , God=Lord Jesus Christ warns of sexual immoral behavior. Those that keep doing it and don't stop won't enter heaven later. Unfortunately there is no rest after passing away in the lake of fire and brimstone for the unrepentant and the disbelieving.
I’m looking forward to this for my masterverse display. I’m seeing all the origins vehicles scale large so I’m waiting till I get enough to make new shelves
Wow, the PD doesn’t allow a standard Origins figure to fit inside standing?! That’s definitely a design failure! Sigh… The TF on the other hand is a win and a good upgrade.
Oh man that scale is super disappointing.
Things came full circle! You first saw these in Germany and now they are in hand.
Represent in Germany and we still got No One in our Stores here🙈😂
WTF ?
I just got this at ross for 14 bucks and it has no black over spray at all were it attached to grayskull ! So them must have fixed it !!!
It dose still have shades of black but its not so glaring as that black strip at the bottom of it .

It has an actual solid & clear canopy? MARVELOUS!!!
I PITY THE FOOL who put Mr. T in a Wind Raider!! If you know Mr. T, you know nothing can get him into a plane!! 😂
Glad you caught the inside joke ;)
The Line is …💀 Mattel giving them the 🐦!!!Lol … Shiny ✨ GDL with the facts ..Myah! He-Man “Until we meet again!!! Motu nostalgia Rules !
The black paint on the part that connects to Grayskull is so disappointing. I doesn't blend, totally stands out and I dislike it very much. Probably end up displaying my Point Dread on it's own or storing it away never to be seen again.
Yeah its a bummer, but it can be taken off pretty easily with isopropyl alcohol
I hope we get an extension like this for Snake Mountain. The Snake Trooper 4 pack hinted at a Preturnia Snake Mountain under the rule of King Hiss.
So I got my Point Dread and Talon Fighter a couple weeks ago and mine didn’t have any black on the paint, so it seems like there may have been a running change
Just noticed my point dread has no black overspray
I was gonna get this mainly for the Point Dread, disappointed that it is under sized. It should have fit at least 1 figure.
Got the set for 8 dollars at Walmart. Nice review!
Errr... I hope it's better than what was released 40 years ago!
The vintage box art was much, much better.
Totally agree with this review. Nice work.
Thank you!
An the original gave you a recored and book to read along with? Wow awesome

Does the computer console pop out of the bottom portion or is it attached?
It does NOT pop out, just tried :(
@@GeekDadLife ugh. Thank you! I may have to buy a second one to rip apart and re-install in my junker vintage Point Dread so I can get the right height
I still have my record and book...
Wow, I never realize how extremely shiny it is.
Jay, I got my TF/PD and it does not have the black overspray on the front. The black paint is actually on the steps. No weird color matching issue with Grayskull.
That's great to hear! Hopefully most get it the way you did!

“Does he have large talons?”
Just got this for 15.99$ at Target and Motu revelations ram man and clawful for 9.89$ each
Does the Orgins Point Dread fit on the original Castle Greyskull?
Great comparison! Appreciate the attention to detail 👌
Been waiting for this one

Can you use the new perch stand with the vintage fighter ?
Does Point Dread fit on an original Castle Grayskull or do you have to buy the new one for it to work?
If a figure can't fit inside, then I consider it a complete total failure. It's all or nothing for me.
What a HUGE disappointment this was.
Do the 7 inch classics figures fit?
Why do people, (Americans, especially) say "thee", instead of "the", before words that start with consonants and interchange them at will?
Because English is a hodge podge language with silly rules lol
Does it fit on vintage?
I was wondering if it fit the original as well?
Not quite, vintage Talon Fighter fits on the new one, but the new one doesnt fit on the vintage point dread.
Take a breath Jay 😅

Just casually dropping Wun-Dar in there. I’m still waiting for mine not jealous at all. 😅

Wait, it goes opposite the wind raider? So I can place both on the castle?
