- This is a follow-up video of the questions and answers in regards to my original Masters of the Universe Origins Snake Mountain Review I am responding to from the comments and showing additional details that were also cut for time during the fist review!
Faker and Dupli cat really needs a Mattel Creations re-release. They are the only ones that I have missed.
I agree! That was such an awesome set and hard to get! They sold that pack a couple of times. It sold out immediately. I hope they bring it back again! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Hopefully a Fright Zone with interior functions as they did with Snake Mountain.
I'm sure it will! The fright zone was smaller and much simpler as far as accessories and action features. The grabbing tree was the weakest and most complicated piece..so it would be interesting to see how they go about that! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
@@Themanchlid What I like, they probably wouldn't do, is if the tree branches were all removable and compatible with Origins arm sockets.
@@scockery I have a feeling the tree branches might be door plastic or possibly pegs like you mentioned. I'm not even sure it would keep the action features. The fright zone tree has the biggest issues today when getting the vintage one online somewhere.
@@Themanchlid Yeah, that plastic looks brittle, but I thought the dragon/snake puppet was the biggest issue. They dry out and tear and crumble. It's funny to see people use some modern snake toy/puppet for a replacement monster.
I never owned a Fright Zone.
@@scockery Yeah the tree plastic was a terrible design. But then again! It's 40 years old now. When I picked upnthis Fright zone, I had to do some custom work and repairs as I mentioned. It didn't come with the puppet. Most of those are ripped or have problems. I wasn't even gonna bother trying to find a good one. I just bought that 3d customized one. It was still cheaper than finding a good vintage puppet on ebay.
Awesome Q & A. Great playset. The Mega Construx micro figures would work real good as well.
Thanks for checking out the Q&A update! Oh yeah, the Mega constux would work perfectly, too. I didn't have any for the review.
Or the Eternia minis
@codywonkenobi9170 Yes, those will probably work well in their own way, too
I don't collect those.
Well done! Top-notch review! That answered so many of my questions. I love the attention to detail. That is so cool you got the wolf speaker and mic to fit. Wow. Also, those micro figures are such a great touch/idea. The origins line is very well done. Thanks for your time and effort on this!
Thanks for taking the time to check out this update review and sharing your thoughts! Yeah, I picked up a vintage microphone on eBay just for the nastalgia. It's not really a practical piece today with this set when you can get Blu tooth Mini Speakers and use a smartphone for sound effects or the microphone. The micro figures or any small-scale figures look cool on this Playset. It makes it look much bigger. The overall details and design of this Origins Snake Mountain came out really good for the Origins line. I also think the Origins line is very well done!👍
You always go above and beyond on your videos best of the best
Thanks for that comment and your support, as always! Yeah, I wanted to go into some other important details that I missed or didn't go into from the first video!👍
I love the colours on Classics snake mountain so much more.
The colors and design came out incredible with the Classics. But the Origins also has some unique colors and looks great in hand! Thanks for watching 👌
Very awesome set up sir! Incredible.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your view and thoughts on my setup!👍
Thanks for the follow up! I have fond memories of my vintage one as a kid
Thanks for stopping in with this follow-up as well! I can still remember that Christmas and getting that Vintage Snake Mountain like it was yesterday! I hear ya on that!👍
Seeing you use the old microphone triggered a few vague memories in my 47-year-old brain, lol! Still don’t remember using it all that often though. I think because I used to act out voices all the time and came up with my own stuff that often sounded better than what the microphone was able to produce that it was kind of useless for me. I still think for the most part this version of Snake Mountain is near perfect for Origins. The new features really help to make it more of a “play” set rather than simply a display piece.
The size is just fine, as far as I’m concerned. The Classics Snake Mountain was ginormous! Honestly, I can’t really see the practicality of having such an immense play set that is the size of a mini-house! (Edit: I said that and yet also backed the Eternia play set…still have no idea what I’m gonna do with it!) The average person doesn’t have that kind of spare living space, and if you have children, forget it, they’ve already got toys in every corner of the house! 😂 If you do want a towering monstrosity of a fortress and collectors are into them, the Eternia Minis (which do have some articulation) would probably also work very well. It’s pretty much a dead line at this point, but I have a few of them. They were kind of difficult to find in stores, but I did manage to pick up Battle Armor He-Man, Battle Armor Skeletor, Stratos, Evil-Lyn, and all five from the first Revelation wave.
Thanks for stopping in as always to check out this update or Q&As to the first video. I was getting a bunch of questions about the first video on certain things that I tried to show or answer in this video. The Vintage Microphone looks cool once again in hand. But as far as using it for this Snake Mountain, it's just purely a suggestion for the nastalgia..it's absolutely not practical today. If you want the Snake mountain to make voices and talk, then just use Bluetooth speakers and a smartphone.
I love looking at that classics playset and size. The Origins looks great on it! But again, it's also not practical because of space and cost. You see, the room mine takes up with my other stuff. That's a back part of the garage. I also preordered the Eternia! Like yourself! I have no idea where it's going and even how I want to review mine without turning the video into two hours! It's gonna be lots of editing cuts! Yes, the mini motu figures can work well on the Origins Snake Mountain, too. So can the Lego figures and many other small figures toy lines. I just showed a few examples of what I had!
Great time & detail put into the Q&A great Episode 💯⭐️
Thanks for checking the episode out! Yeah tried to put together a video responding to the most common asked questions from the first Snake Mountain Origins video!👍
Classic Snake Mountain is beautiful. But way outta my price range. So Origins is perfect for me. Sweet collection 👍👍
Classics is one of the most incredible Snake Mountain playsets to exist! But it's very expensive to get now! The Origins Snake Mountain is also really great to have in its own way. Thanks for stopping in as always👍
@@Themanchlid You know it bro
@@residentvania7733 👍💯
My only Question was the size, VS Grayskull Origins and Vs Vintage SnakeMountan.
Awesome stuff man.
Yeah, I got a couple of questions about the Origins Greyskull and Origins Snake Mountain size. I never picked up the Origins Greyskull because of the Classics. I also wasn't gonna pick up the Origins Snake Mountain either because of the Classics. But I really liked the vintage Snake Mountain. So I did. I guess that's the only other question I can't answer! Once this playset gets into other hands. I'm sure there will be plenty of companions to the Origins Greyskull from other reviews! Thanks for watching as always 👍
Interesting q&a ! Thanks for the video bro
Thanks, bro! I just wanted to answer all the common questions from the comments 👍
Love this video great review...thanks 👍👍👍👍
Thankyou! I appreciate your time and comments! I tried to make a video in response to the comments of the first Snake mountain video I put together 👍
I love this playset just brings the joy of collecting back to me
I agree! That's the whole point of this Origins line, and this Snake mountain playset. Some things are changed, like the elimination of the Mic. But you can always add or pick one up like I did for the Nastalgia on eBay. Aside from that! It came out really cool! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
Bro, your videos can never be too long lol. You’re very thorough and I love how you go deep into swapping parts and creating new ideas. Spawn figures reminded me of something I wanted to ask. Are you doing a ninja spawn review?
I always appreciate your views and comments on my reviews, bro! Some people like to watch a long video. Many people do not or don't want to see everything I'm doing! I'm fine with that if certain people just want to drop in and see a couple of things rather than jet! But that hurts the algorithm when too many people do that, and UA-cam makes the video hard to find! It's a stupid Fkn game! Dude, that Ninga Spawn has been sitting on my review desk since I got him a couple of weeks ago. He was my first priority to review! But then all this Origins stuff is coming around, and those reviews are so much funner and do so much better on my channel than Mcfarlane figures. But he's on the list soon. I remember you asking me about that! My health problems are also getting in the way of doing too much stuff too long. But I'll try to get that spawn done over the weekend, bro!👍
@@Themanchlid shit, I hope you feel better soon, brother. All the best.
@TheWandifan Thanks, bro! Every day is a new adventure!👍
People gotta have realistic expectations for display playsets, Like you said, it would have to be like 7 feet tall to really be accurate , Using smaller figures does make both Snake Mountain sets look bigger, But I think Origins look fine on this new one, and also the Classics one, I did watch the other 1 hour video on this new one, it was like having a teacher explaining all of it's features and assembling after a while watching that video (lol) Cool to see your main figure room again.
Thanks for taking the time to check out the first video and this follow-up video! Yeah, the first video turned into a setup tutorial. Lol. Regarding some of the comments, some people thought this playset would be much larger for the Origins figures. I think it is a little taller than the vintage one. But realistically, the Origins weren't gonna design this playset too much larger. The only other options are to make it as big as the Classics or twice the size of it now. Or 7 to 8 feet tall, like the concept or filmation cartoon, in order to make it to scale with the Origins figures. Yeah, none of those choices are logical or affordable for most people who collect this stuff! I think most people are happy on the overall look and knew what to expect! But I was just offering another idea with small figures to set up on this playset for people who want one for the look and nastalgia but don't like its size and wished it was bigger. The other option is the Classics, like I showed! That set is about $2000 dollars on eBay now! It is not necessary for collecting Origins.
you da best! much appreciated.
Thanks for checking the review out! I just wanted to add additional info that might be interesting with the Origins Snake Mountain that I couldn't get to in the first review!👌
Can't wait to grab this, hopefully Target will carry it in the fall like they did with Castle Grayskull.
These are starting to be found in limited numbers in certain stores. I would think certain Target will carry one or two. I heard Mattel store in California has these in stock now. Hopefully, these start shipping or showing up in stores very soon or by next month! I hope you find one soon! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
Thanks for this. I just realized I can use snake mountain with my boss fight snake figures
Thanks for checking this update out! Yeah, the boss fight figures will work great on this Origins Snake Mountain because of the scale!👍
Outstanding follow up. What kind of paint (and brand) do you use to customize your origins?
Thanks for stopping in to check out the following up video! As far as paint on my figures, it depends! The Fright Zone repairs were Model Color acrylic paint. Origins figures I also would use acrylic paint and a sealer. Everything else or other figures and accessories I use soray primer. Then, Testors enamel paint and then spray sealer. It really depends. I like the enamel paint best because it sticks to anything. But it's hard to work with and has to be painted in a well vetalated area.
The pit monster i guess will fit more perfectly when they release lady slither, with her snake lower body
Yes, I think you're right! Lady slithers lower half will be interesting for many custom ideas like making a possible King Hisss set up like that, too. Hopefully, they will design her lower half with the right peg and belt setup! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Great Q&A
Pity you don't have any of The Loyal Subjects MotU figures as I think they're scale would fit well with most of Origins Snake Mountain (obviously the handcuffs, chains and the bone throne will be too big)
Might give them a try once I get my pre-order.
Thanks for checking this update video out and leaving your feedback! No, I never go any of the loyal subjects Motu figures. They would also work well along many other small figure lines. I just showed a few examples of what I had around to compare!👍
A customizer could cut a hole one the floor to make room for the vintage wolf mic. THAT would be cool to see if someone does that.
Yes, cutting a hole would also work! But I wasn't gonna that! I just showed removing the floor to get it in. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👌
Hands down it's a great set and for the price you really can't beat it I'd like to see an accessory set from creations, similar to the Greyskull one they did, where you get the table and orb and maybe some other monsters
Yeah I agree! I think Mattel did a great job on this New Snake mountain look and design. I was happy to pick it up even know I have the Classics one. An accessory set would be cool too. I'm sure there's a few 3d printed accessories on etsy already. Thanks for checking this update out! I'm happy to hear you like the new Snake mountain design 👍
How did you make the dragon for the Fright Zone? My original dragon was still undamaged, but it's been stowed away for a while. Hopefully it still will be when I unpack it again soon. I would like a tangible dragon even more, especially if it is as detailed as yours and still fits in well with the vintage Fright Zone.
Thanks for checking the update video out! That Fright zone dragon is a custom 3d printed and paint piece that sits in the hole. I got it on ebay. There are a couple sellers that custom make these time to time. And even different versions.
Great display one day i will have the origins castle and snake mountain untill then i only draw it my books
Thanks for checking out this display! Yes, you will definitely have the Origins Castle grayskull and Snake Mountain one day 👍
For the mic effect Ill use a mini Bluetooth speaker inside the wolf ✌🏻😉
That works, too! There are many simple ways to make mic effects today. The point of the Vintage Mic is about the nastalgia! Thanks for stopping in and sharing your comments 👍
Sorry I missed this stream hope not too late for any to comment. Over snake mountain you have a land shark. I looked in every store in 2 states for that. I had to go to bbts for it. Was I the only on in the u.s. that just couldn't find land shark anywhere?
Thanks for stopping in to check out this Masters of the Universe Origins Snake Mountain update. This was a second video I put up answering some questions in the first video from comments. The land shark came out a long time ago. I remember seeing it sit in my stores for a while. BBTS is probably the best bet or Amazon now. I think it was exclusively a US release. My land shark I showed in this video has custom painted tracks, and I equipped it with the vintage land shark guns.
I stopped collecting Origins when all I could find were naked Stratos and Buzz off, but damn I may have to get this jsit to have a mate for my Origins Grayskull.
You're not the only one who was ready to give up on Origins because the stores had nothing or only Stratos and Buzz-Off! My stores became the same thing. If it wasn't for the internet and buying all my stuff online. I would have nothing new and could never have a review, Channel with all the newer stuff to show. All the Vintage Inspired Origins will be moving to Mattel Creations this year. The filmation figures coming to Origins will go to retail next year. This Snake Mountain is really cool! Even know I have the Classics like I showed! I'm still glad I picked this up! I never picked up the Origins Greyskull! That's why I didn't compare those two in this update. But if you have it! Then you gotta get this Snake mountain to go hand and hand! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
Did you notice the little holes along the outside of the bottom floor from end to end, on both walls? Let me know if you catch those. Do you think those would be for a floor plan Mattel might have for Snake Mountain?
I honestly didn't see or notice those holes. I'll have to take another look. Maybe they might be for future plans, as you mentioned, or manufacturer holes when this was being painted and drying. Thanks for watching as always!
The only thing I would have wanted was blood falls , but it's pretty cool
Yeah I think there might be a custom one on etsy for this Origins Snake Mountain or the Vintage one. Aside from that! It came out really cool! Thanks for watching 👍
So the snake can rotate at the base? If so can it not be rotated all the way to the right(lookin from the back), and then rotate the upper part and head to go around the other side of the peak? Maybe you need to temporarily remove the gate to make this work but it sure looks doable but I could be wrong
As far as I see or really look at. The snakes design and action features are set up for the left side. Going back to the vintage playset. There might be a way to customize and twist parts around to use it without the gate to the other side. But from what I see, it doesn't have enough length to be correct or look good like that. If they added a plug to connect it to the other side like I pointed out, then it would work. But even then, the articulation and way it's looking wouldn't look right from what I see .The directions also dosent give any indication or hints of adapting this to the right side looking at the front of the play set. Maybe once this playset comes around more, Mattel will make an update or show a way it's possible. But I don't see it without major customizing so far. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
@@Themanchlid thanks for looking into this! Bummer since on their prototype there was a plug on the other side also but for some weird reason they removed it
@danield1262 No problem! That's interesting to know. I didn't even know about that in the prototype. I'm guessing they would have to make the snake also come apart easy and add additional parts to make it right-handed. Again, by twisting it all around. It still doesn't look right, putting it to the other side. Also, it's very heavy, and the plug connector is not very strong enough to be pulled that scale on and off to the left and right side if the playset was designed with two plugs.
Mega Construx MOTU Figures would be a perfect size for the set.
Mega Construx figures would also work perfectly. I don't collect those. But that's another good option for smaller scale figures, too! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments 👌
Are you gonna get an origins grayskull ?? Since you got the origins snake mountain.
No, I skipped that Origins Greyskull! I wasn't gonna get the Origins Snake Mountain originally like I mentioned because of the Classics. But I liked The Vintage Snake Mountain a lot as a kid. So I picked it up! Thanks for stopping in already 👍
I like it i hope i can find one.
Thanks for stopping in to check out the updated video! Hopefully, you can find one soon👍
Big Bad, and Entertainment Earth have them bud.
@codywonkenobi9170 Thats awesome they have them now!👍
Excellent video! Got some great customising ideas in there. Thank you!
I love the sculpt of the snake head on the Origins version, but that collar on its neck is just plain UGLY. I get what they were going for, but either they should've done the whole snake like that, or just not bothered.
I appreciate you stopping in to check out this update video! Yes there's plenty of customizing options to consider with this Playset and its accessories depending how far you want to go.
The Snake is a really cool design for this set up. But I have to agree about the ugly collar. I wish it was seperate piece. I guess it can be painted. Aside f that! Everything else came out really good for this Origins Snake Mountain 👍
I use the mega construx figures for my snake mountain
They would also work well for a better scale of Motu figures for this playset! I don't have any of those. Thanks for watching and sharing that idea with those figures 👌
Is it just the lighting or is SM origins not dark purple tone? Looks light purple
I think it's the lighting. I had a photo light very close when filming. It has a mix. But definitely dark color tones in it. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
See the big difference in the bridge? The S7 versions bridge is tiny and looks like it's only for 3.75 figs
The Super7 bridge has a little different design than the origins! You can fit two or three figures on it together. But it's still small. It would definitely work well for 3.75 figures. Thanks for checking the review out!
@@Themanchlid yeah it does. One would just think that everything on the classics version is bigger but that bridge is too smalll eve for origins figs
I can see someone using velcro for the battery box as well or ever strong magnets.
Yeah that could also work bro! I think looking at it more. I would make a stand up L bracket and Bolt it to it. Then you can just slide it around of free stand it with messing up the back sticker or wall.
@@Themanchlid facts Fam I see where You coming from that sticker is cool Af tho I just like doing things as easy as possible 😂 we pay enough for these toys my Brother
@@nybackyardlegend4 I hear that! The whole idea if a vintage microphone is just nastalgia. Otherwise you can just use Bluetooth spreakers and smartphone for sounds coming out of the playset or anyone for that matter!👍
@@Themanchlid the good thing tho for me I did really get back into buying them I haven't got off the 1st season still of them show but I'm loving the looks of these Figures.
@@nybackyardlegend4 Only buy what you can or what you like! Stick to your priority and whats more important first!👍
I would kill for a remake of spydor or the dragon walker. For Masterverse I’d wish for a panthor or even other gear
Yeah we all love a new Dragon walker and Spydor for Origins. It's the motorized parts in those that is costly today to manufacturer compared to the 80s..I'm surprised they didn't make Panthor yet. Thanks for watching 👍
That classics snake mountain ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Classics Snake Mountain is a master piece in the end over The Origins or Vintage! But they still look cool to have! Thanks for stopping in, bro!👍
Did u get the mondo prince Adam
No I didn't! Just the Mondo Skeletor this year and I got the deluxe He-man last year!
Mega construx
I don't collect or have any of those. But they will work great as well! 👍
People should treat playsets as representations. It’s never going to be accurate to true life. It’s a nice representation/diorama for your figures. A bit like how Lego does their buildings, tiny rooms with little details
Exactly! I think some people thought it would be a little bigger! The next size up is the Classics, and that's really big and expensive! Legos are a good example, as you mentioned! The Lego Motu figures would also look good on this playset, too!👍
That snake and the cut in the monster face`s head are horrible.
I think the design is going back to the filmation cartoon or what the Classics did but with articulation now.
I need my origins eternia already !
Yeah, me too! Lol. Eternia should be coming in spring 2024. It will be here before you know it. I don't even know where I'm gonna set mine up yet alone. Try to review mine. Thanks for stopping in to check out this update video 👍
