- Scott ToyGuru Neitlich discusses the Buzz Off action figure as well as the origins of the character and its tie to children's unique connection to bees. Also, he was stung by three bees in one day in two different places one day as a child, so yeah, that too is covered.

I love the little bits of toy development psychology you drop into these videos.
Thank you. My partner at Spector Creative has her Masters in Child Play Therapy from NYU and she helps a lot with that aspect.
"Plus it meant I had an action figure on vacation"
I know the feeling...
True dat!
UH...you guys don't BRING toys on vacation?
I'm definitely looking forward to the explanation video about the techno organic virus. I love all of the mythology from this line.
I was thinking of doing a video on that and some other loose ends from the mini comics. I'll add it to the top of the list
"Mixture of pain and pleasure", someone call the Cenobites, that's their department!
Oh no! Not the Cenobites.... ;-P
Cenobites just sound like a delicious breakfast cereal
@@robt.v.8688 it definitely cuts up the roof of your mouth though
I had Buzz Off as a kid and I still love him today. He is very eye-catching and interesting. My favorite character is Fisto and I cant`t wait for a Fisto video, dear Toyguru.....!!!-)))
"Bee comes out of a Honey's butt"... 🤔 14:45
Yeah, I blame Futurama
I picked up on this one too, haha. XD
He's smokin' that good weed and doing You Tube,not uncommon.
I love that "Bee my action figure" with the filmation sound to it I'm gonna point your channel to a youtuber that collects the line that might not know about this channel.
Love it. Thank you
This video is bee-utifull!
Honey of a comment
@@spectorcreative1872 These puns sting-k! XD
I'd just like to thank whomever made the decision to allow the goggles on Buzz-Off's helmet to actually cover his eyes, until the vintage line where they just sort of dangled over his eyes and only covered like a third of them. That always....bugged me. ;)
That would be Terry or Bill, whomever was the designer on him!
Just subbed from today's podcast with Jay and John or geek dad life 😁👍
Awesome! I had a blast on their show.
Buzz Off was my first MOTU figure!!!!!! still have it :)
I think I have mine too, somewhere.... Glad he still brings you smiles. A great first figure
Sweet buzzoff love this figure
Me too
Waiting impatiently for a stinky review . You know who mean
I have my original Buzz-Off, 2001 reissue SEALED, Classics, sealed Classics (thanks to Mad Matty Monday. Also vintage Super 7 loose and, somewhere sealed. I subscribe to no religion.
Not even the bee religion
I said it already but I'll say it again, I love these videos!
Thank you so much! Please do share and repost them. It helps
I bet mattel dodged that bullet brown hair he-man? Hell no haha. He def is one of my top 10 motu characters.
Cool beans!
Buzz-Off was designed by Colin Bailey, not Roger Sweet, FYI
Love Buzz Off specifically in 2002. Allthough u liked the old design a bit better.
I did indeed
@@spectorcreative1872 yes i did too felt like a more unique look.
The only Buzz-Off I own is the 200x version. I really liked how he was more lanky, lithe, and insect-like than the buff version.
Crossing fingers that maybe someday, we get a 6" MOTU 200x line, sans forced poses, and with improved articulation. Maybe something could happen in Masterverse.
It was in the plans. See my 200X 6" video!
@@spectorcreative1872 Oh, I definitely remember your video! I'm just hoping it can still happen. MOTU has more lives than a cat with a box of horse shoes.
If there would have been a way to remove the armor but keep the wings attached, I think the 200X head would have looked more at home on the Classics buck.
Yeah, with the tooling as planned that wasn't possible
I liked buzz off
And he likes you too
❤️
You too
Crud I guessed Stinkor again.
Likely
Vintage Buzz Off bugs me as a kid (pun intended). I had a hard time keeping his helmet on his head. My mum bought it for me when she went to Hong Kong
Yeah, mine fell off too.
I meant to ask who's your number 1 fav character in motuc?
Stratos
"You know bee comes out of a honey's butt?" 14:45
Brilliant vid, and love that figure ,as a kid id ask why does a bee have claws ? Hat stays on lol
is your wife same as person who wrote the morals at end of episode
The episodes of MOTU? Neither I nor my wife worked on the show, just the toys.
@@spectorcreative1872 no mean same job there was someone who did the morals lol
Awesome figure! One of the best in the line, IMHO! Just annoyed we never got a Club Grayskull version.....ah well! Spilt milk and all that! Always excited to see this guy in each incarnation of the line!
Me too
Fun video! Just one point of contention, though: honey comes out of bees' mouths, not their butts.
I should really stop learning things based o Futurama
@@spectorcreative1872 HA! Oh, but there are GREAT science-y things to be learned from "Futurama." Just so long as you're not learning them from Fry or Zoidberg. 😉
I never noticed that Buzz Off doesn't have a stinger before.
Funny right?
Does that mean that if Buzz-Off stings skeletor, buzz off would die?
But he has no stinger
Technically, as a male bee, he shouldn't have a stinger.
I thought he WAS the King? I don’t mind him being the king!
Its good to be the king
You'll be doing Stinkor?
I am going in release order. So, yes!
Oh he will I'm waiting so ever patiently. Stinkor has a cult following it would seem. But I'm his number 1 fan
I have a funny story about that figure I’ll share when the video is released!
Fascinating.10th comment.😄
Glad you enjoyed!
Sounds like you should have left bees alone when you were a kid!
Although the Cheerios bee and Buzz Off ... I never realized how much in common they have until seeing this video ... it can never be unseen! Call legal!
You've seen it, you can't unsee it!
Maybe “bee comes out of a honey’s butt” however honey comes out of a bee’s mouth.
Yeah, last time I take a science lesson from Futurama
I wish we could have gotten a two pack of the Filmation Bee people to build up Buzz-Offs race.
That would have been awesome!
"You dip the apple in the honey like THIS! You dip the apple in the honey make a WISH!" Another fun & informative video, man.
Going for it!
Why does a character with bug eyes have a bug eye helmet.
To keep out bugs obviously
I have to disagree, I think the 200x Buzz-Off head looks very good on the Classics body. I know there were some, like Whiplash, which looked a bit of place, but I didn't think that was the case with Buzz-Off. Plus, while the 200x figure looks awesome, it is definitely one of the most frustrating ones to get to stand and keep standing!
Well glad you do. And fully right to your feelings on it. ;-)
At least he isn't a yellow jacket. Those things are true evil!
Or a Murder Hornet!
@@spectorcreative1872 Murder Hornet sounds like it should be a MotU villain.
I took my original buzz off with to kindergarten one day and his legs broke off on the play ground:(
Oh no! The horror
People sued over production numbers?
Yes. They were upset when a toy would say "limited to XX amount" but that amount did not count pre production samples or units given to employees &c...
@@spectorcreative1872 - I figured it would've been some collector who wants to know how many units of a specific figure were produced.
Thank you Scott. I always appreciate the knowledge you drop.
Would you ever be interested in a skype or live youtube stream about you and your work on motu? Like maby with Pixel dan or a few fans?
I am always down for that type of thing.
@@spectorcreative1872 lemme get back to you. I have the perfect person to join us
Honey comes from the stomach not the butt Scott. Female bees regurgitate.
Well I guess I should stop learning things from Futurama
I dont know how you stomache that show pun intended haha
So it’s vomit not poop. These comments have ruined honey forever!
According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
That is my new favorite saying. i am putting tnis up on my wall.
It is bee puke, not from the butt of the bee it is them who puke up the honey.
Last time I try to learn something from Futurama
I'm pretty sure you said bees comes out of honeys butt
Sounds like me
He is the only good guy in my favorite top 5 motu characters, Mer Man no1 Stinkor no2 Spikor no3 Evil Lynn no4 and Buzz off no5.
I saw a video abotu that kids wanted good guys, but i dont know any kids who wanted Prince Adam, Fisto or heck even He Man, it was all monsters we kids wanted back in the days. Mekanek and Prince Adam was something we kids saw as punishment to get. Same thing with Transformers we kids loved our tanks and jets and those was deceptions boring cars wasn't interesting only autobots we liked was dinobots and those was dinosaurs.
Well he is a giant Bee man....
Freudian psychoanalysis is largely discredited nonsense, but I enjoyed the rest of the video. I really never liked Buzz-Off as a kid. The 1984 releases were packed with anthropomorphized animal characters, which always struck me as lacking in creativity. Buzz-Off is a C-Lister in my book, but his classics figure really pops with the bright yellow and the deep, dark brown. He has survived several rounds of thinning out my MOTUC collection.
Hey C lister, A lister. At least they get made
