      Thanks for watching the review! Hopefully, you get yours soon! I also have a second one coming that went back and purchased 15 minutes into the sale. That one still didn't ship yet. They definitely put some time and love into the Origins figure with his design, package, and comic to help introduce him as a figure in the Origins line from the Original MOTU sticker Concept👍

    On the promo shots of this guy on Mattel they had fire coming out the bottom like it was a jetpack. That's how I will use it. To help him jump or fly. I got the 3 MAX of this guy so I can't wait to get him/them. Great review as always.

      Thanks for sharing that info and checking out the review! I never noticed that jet pack art. But it does look like some kind of jet pack or tank of some kind with gas in it.

      @meg I'm not sure if it is. There's no hole dilled in the bottom. But you can make for surevwith a little customs and fit blast effects in it. Or even certain effects can sit on the top. I have an action figure blast effects set that would work with some modifications👍

    I think this is one of, if not the best Origins figure in the entire series. I have him displayed next to Castle Grayskull, standing in the Dwell of Souls, alongside the tentacle creature and out of everything in my Origins set up, it’s the one thing your eyes are drawn to. He looks straight up like he could have been in the original vintage run. Awesome figure.

He definitely looks like he could have been part of the vintage line in the day! Thanks for stopping in as always 👍

      @Themanchlid  Рік тому

      Thanks for watching the review! I heard a couple other comments that point to that Torso possibly being a hint to Modulok coming in the line. The buck threw me off because its Hollow and very Wide compared to the Vintage Modulok design. I also have the Classics Modulok and looked that in comparing to Frog Mongers buck now and it looks really off. But the Classics redisigned Modulok from the vintage. However I can see a Modulok coming out of that just knowing how the Origins share parts. Thanks for the heads up or hints👍

      Thanks for watching the review! Yes, you're correct about that Star Ship Eternia. I never really watched too much of the new Adventures cartoon but did see it in the comics.The Orgins did release a new adventures He-man. So, anything in this line is possible. The Giants are very possible in the Origins line. Maybe also crowd funding or Mattel Creations figures. Many people would definitely buy those guys👍

    I received mine about a week and a half ago as well. Being a completionist with Origins, I was a bit adamant about trying to get yet another exclusive (especially for such an obscure character), but once I saw the package in hand, I have to say I’m impressed with how well he turned out! Frog Monger looks like a figure I would have loved to have had in the vintage line! Dare I say, I think he looks better than some of the other “standard” figures in this line. Again, the only downside to it being an “exclusive” is the way it’s packaged. Once I open all of these Origins figures, I’ll need to figure out the best way to open the exclusives without damaging the packaging too badly. (As far as artwork goes, I could really just scan all of the card backs and keep the files digitally…but the more exclusive stuff needs to be saved because, well…they’re exclusive!)

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Рік тому

      I was impressed by how much I liked this figure in hand! It's exciting to see a sticker concept in Figure Form 40 years later. I also got another Frog Monger figure during the Dale to have one in card, but it still hasn't shipped yet! Scanning the cards is a good idea. I usually keep the back art in a box if I can. It depends on how much damage the card took when I carefully removed it.

    I'm pasting my comment from the Frog Monger video on Mr Home Arcade's channel: I regret getting this because it's an awesome figure, but I don't play the Exclusives game. The constant stress of keeping up with the releases and how they often sell out quick. I'm an adult collector for fun, not for aggravation. Just my opinion... If this was on BBTS, I'd buy it in a second.

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Рік тому +1

      I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your honesty. I totally understand what you're saying! The Motu brand is so cool and means a lot to many of us collectors, but it's definitely a challenge to get many figures in hand, never mind the exclusives. All you do is support what you believe in and buy what you want when you can. I'm used to the complex world of online exclusives and hard to get action figures, sometimes going back to Neca, Mcfarlane, and X plus Godzilla figures from Japan. Plus, many other things over the years.

    • @Themanchlid

      No, the book doesn't mention anything about the space suit in the Catsule greyskull. He was once a prince who sold black magic to both The Snakemen and Other good kings or anyone. He was double crossed by the Snakemen and turned to a frog man. He then felt so ashamed he hid in the Dwell of Souls. More or less, he doesn't care about either side. But He-man needed his help and made a deal to save King Randor, who was put into a deep sleep from the Snakemen poison.

      @Jigsaw Nora Yeah, i think those gaurds in the revalation cartoon were made up minions or soldiers of Mer-man. I can see those figures coming to the Masterverse line because they had a very similar buck and design going back to the Revalation Mer-man figure. So, most of Tooling is already made aside a new head and accessories. It's such a tease when we see or get certain figures or characters in the Classics, Masterverse, and Origins style, but then not a version in each line. Sometimes, we do. Like He-man, Skeletor, and Hordak, for example! We have those characters and even some variations in all three lines. But then a unique figure comes around like this Frog Monger, and he was only designed for the Origins and not sure if we can get one in the Masterverse line because it depends on fan demand and the cost to tool that new figure and the box art. Never mind seeing one on the Classics line as that series is finished for now. There are so many possibilities out there to do with the MOTU character franchise with figures. Time tell what we see and get! It's so exciting but yet disappointing sometimes for the above reasons I mentioned!
