I'd love to see Super7 make more of "The power of Grayskull" it looked like it'd have been a really fun line with Dinosaur's,Barbarians,Archers,Wizards & tons of other stuff
This might sound weird. I really like these figures now. But I dont think I would have liked them as a kid.
I feel like the big difference in He-Ro is the eyebrow arch, which looks sinister.
The vintage prototype looked spot on like a Mattel Ken doll.
This facial expression is dead ringer for Mattel’s often forgotten 90s 5.5 line, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. That Arthur in fact had gold armor and a red cape. And this facial expression. And it had a button in the back to raise his hands.
I think Knights of Justice along with the New Adventures vehicles are probably an indication of where He-Ro and the Powers of Grayskull would have gone. At least toy-wise. I wouldn’t be surprised if KoJ reused engineering and gimmicks considered for Powers of Grayskull.
They did reissue the Slime Pit for KoJ (in VERY limited numbers) or possibly plan to. The Slime Pit was in the KoJ cross sells and featured in the KoJ cartoon.
I love having the vac-metal armored He-Ro figure, but my only complaint is that his staff doesn't STAY closed once you close it. It would have been great if the crystal clicked into place and a button released it, making it spring open. As it is, you'd have to find some kind of small rubber band to put around it to keep it shut.
I totally agree! Why a spring mechanism that does'nt actually lock and leaves the staff closed? And why is the "jewel" so sharp on top? That was a total bummer to me. Other than that, great figures.
That's what I did
Just something about that he-ro face that gives me the creeps. It's the last face you wanna see when you suddenly wake up at 3am and roll over in bed and see that smiling at you. No thanks!
On a side note Dan I never knew you owned a original Tytus and Megator fugure, that's awesome!
The hand articulation on Eldor isn't exactly new, Gwildor did the same thing and had very similar sleeves.
Tis true!
I had forgotten about that!
Pixel dan is a racist !
@@barryallen469 GET OUTTA HERE, BARRY! GO BACK TO THE SPEED FORCE!!
They nailed it! I was not into the super7 vintage style but this is the way to go this set is a must have
Great review as always Dan!
Love these! Dream come true! Glad they did the right packaging too! Can’t wait to get mine! Awesome seeing them with vintage He-Man and the giants and dinos! But where’s the pic battling the vintage Snake Men & King Hisss?!
Once I got these open, my Snake Men got moved from MotU to Powers of Grayskull in my set up. It helps that the main villians from PoG were made already.
Awesome! Wish I had gotten two sets! I hope Super7 does more unreleased figures in vintage style
Incredible figures! Definitely one of the best things to come from Masters Of The Universe to this day! Having the full planned The Powers Of The Grayskull range.
I recently picked up He-Ro. I wish that they would run with this line and make and entire line for The Powers of Grayskull
These figures are HEAVY too. Like MOTU figures use to be. I was VERY pleased with my set.
Oh my god, there are absolutely brillant! Finally! I love it!!!
Unfortunately Brian Flynn from Super7 stated recently that they only have rights to do „as seen on TV“ Filmation style figures in their MotU Vintage Collection. These two were an exception.
Yup. When they first announced these, I was hopefully we'd be getting a lot of "unreleased" 5.5's. But I know that's not possible any more...as it seems... I am very grateful we got these, though.
Chopsy The Homicidal Maniac Currently the question is more how long Super7 will have the MotU license at all.
I still would love to see the 'Lost Wave' come out on Powers of Grayskull cardbacks. We already have the black & white line art for them and Super7 has made color schemes and names for all of them.
Really?? That sucks! Where can I find the info where Mr. Flynn said this? I have been so disappointed in the direction of Filmation only figures.
Glad to see these finally getting released. Picked these up to start my powers of grayskull collection. So happy super 7 made these.
Is it true that Mattel is going to take over/back MOTU? Super 7 only has the License for 3 years. That's the word I've been hearing....
I am not sure, but that might explain why Mattel shows MOTU stuff at conventions. It would be nice if they did. Prices would go down and QC would go up
I sure hope so
Considering there's a MOTU movie in the works it would make sense for Mattel to take back the license
at long last, The Powers of Grayskull line is whole
2:10: That is awesome how they have Tyrantisaurus Rex, Bionatops and Turbodactyl as the cross-sell there!
LOOK FOR THE POWERS OF GRAYSKULL COMING YOUR WAY IN 1987!
I love my Eldor figure from the Classics line. ☺︎ ♥️
He-Ro is bling as all get out.
I hope Super 7 makes a Tmnt line in this scale.
I love how the blue background matches the prototype photos.
No Classics comparison???
Imagine if they made vehicles for this line.
Oh it would have been bonkers I'm sure. I don't know what Powers of Grayskull stuff never made it to the prototype stage, aside from the 6 figures from the "Lost Wave" of MotU. Those figures would have more then likely been part of this new line.
They do, I have the Wind Raider, and there are others...
OMG I WANT THESE SO BAD!
I love them and your review. My only thought is that the head looks a little off on He-ro. Maybe it because he is shiny or has a wider smile. His jaw line reminds me of Tick. Definitely worth the buy through. Thank you.
Brian Flynn said in a podcast that they have more unused designs in the drawer, so who knows if they will - and can - continue this. But these two look great, looking forward to your 5.5" wave 2 review!
Lasastard or why can't they just make all new characters..
@@isaactorres5908 It could come down to "stealing Mattel's thunder" so to speak. Take the Power Con 3-packs from last year and this year. Those were from the 'Lost Wave' so they get passed the "no new characters" rule. They are more just new to you & me. I think it would be cool to see those make it into 5.5".
@@isaactorres5908 Because, as a Mattel designer said in a recent interview, obscure characters don't sell nearly as well. That's why Mattel introduced Club Grayskull a few years back, since they were running out of "known" characters to do for Classics. I would assume that a lot of people collect MOTU because of the filmation cartoon or the toys they had as a kid. While the more "harcore" MOTU fan will probably appreciate a continuation of the line, most people seem to not care very much (me included). That said, what I meant in my original comment was that Super 7 apparently unearther designs for the Powers of Grayskull line that never made it beyond a concept drawing. So maybe they will release those eventually, who knows.
Some of my vintage figures had the hinges in the legs. Can't remember which ones
Some of the 1986 figures had newer ballpoint hips.
It was Terror Claws Skeletor, Flying Fists He-Man, Snout Spout and Blast Attak. It defitnely was a good move and in the long run makes them WAY more sturdy.
great review dan. the four horseman and super 7 nailed it. great figures vac metal etc. cant wait to get these in hand luckily I ordered to sets .so I can open 2 then keep the other to on card. more proto type figures indeed please fan demand.
My wife got sick and tired of preordering these and never being delivered. I will let her know that she can get them now. Thank you
Eldor Figure is Just Awesome 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Wait, you have Tytus and Megator?!
Just got them in Holland 😁👍🏻5 minutes ago.
How do you open your figures up Dan? I have been cutting the bubbles off with exacto knife so I can keep the cardback as mint as possible with no tears.
Boycott pixel dan hes a racist !
@@barryallen469 okay.
No Comparison Time?
These are so cool ! Very happy i preordered ! Got it in yesterdsy and the figures are amazing ! GREAT Video as always Dan, glad to hear u like them to !
Last week I bought both figures they were awesome.
I hope I get mine soon thank you Dan that helps a lot
I believe that it's my "fault" that he got released with vac-metal armour. I totally spammed Super7 along with many of my friends. But it had to be done properly, didn't it? :P
Thank you for that. :)
The vac metal looks so much better.
The He-ro prototype from the 80's had vac-metal chest armor, so I'm sure that was the plan all along with the Super 7 figure.
What is that face He-Ro is making?
He-Man is so much cooler than He-Ro!!
Will there be reviews of the other Vintage Collection Wave 2 figures?
As they are in a semi-squat position, aren't these, technically, in the 6" scale?
@Rob Cook They measure 5.5 inches from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet however, as their legs are bent they would measure 6 inches, if their legs were straight, therefore they are in the 6 inch SCALE, which was the distinction being made.
@Rob Cook I can see that you're struggling to differentiate between measurement and scale, so let's just leave it, okay?
I'm so glad they didn't originally change the line to this, what they did was so much better, there wouldn't have been a She-Ra line or cooler later figures if they did.
Only con with the review: Why no çomparison time with Classics figures?
Nice figures, well packaged. The only thing that looks a bit weird is the expression on He-Ro's face.
Took over 30 years but Fans finely got them happy Dan ?
6:38 - that’s not new! Gwildor did that as well.
How man how did you get a vintage megator and Tytus!!!!! How much money was it?!!!
Wonder what the new castle grayskull would have looked like ?
I bet a lot of gold chrome vacuumed sealed plastic !
So cool,the gold is awsome
I hope super 7 can get some 200X prototype, or never before done figures such like , extentor, stondar, scareglow, spikor, ninjor,
Awesome and Blade from the original Masters line have the hing leg joints first?
Do the arms pop off?
I am so happy, that Super7 made these. I cannot believe original HE-RO and ELDOR fiigures really released and have them in my my collection. Unfortunatly I am missing the Mattel logo on the packagings.I wish more vintage releasing, like in example prototype versions from Mattel catalogs of original Masters Of The Universe toys. I don't prefer to release all figures in Filmation styles! My next most wanted, that Mattel or Super7 also bring back the original Princess Of Power Star Sisters prototypes!!!
i hope they come out revelation with more articalation
Sort of interesting this is what Mattel was planning on doing with MOTU.
Not these. Super7 announced these figures pretty much as soon as they got the license. Mattel never revealed plans to do vintage He-Ro and Eldor.
@@Pixel-dan I think he means back in the 80s.
so I am glad this did not happen
The momentum was way off it would have flopped however I will be adding these to my Masters of the Universe origins
Hey, Pixel Dan. I have a question for you. I heard that Super 7 are loosing the rights to produce MOTU figures and the the rights are reverting back to Mattel. Do you know anything about that? Thanks
I don't think this is official, probably a twist on what's really the case: Mattel never lost the rights to anything-MOTU/MOTUC. They never sold the brand, they just gave license to Super7, just like they did with Funko for their MOTU Pops. MOTU is was and will (most likely) always be a Mattel brand.
I read over at the Q&A on He-man.org that Super7 can only tackle Filmation style figures in 5.5" scale along with certain specific MotU characters? I think He-Ro & Eldor fit as they were never released?
@@TheBoglinthanks for the info
Are the cards the same dimensions as the vintage MOTU cards? (standard and deluxe).
That would be great to keep them with all the old MOTU blisters.
Wow, I do not even care for MOTU but those are really sharp! I am glad you were able to acquire those. 😁
Congratulations 👍
Niiiiiice.....but I’m waiting on my 2 sets of the “movie” figures.
Lazarussoul 82 They should come in June at the earliest.
reaction versions please
Hi! Do you think we'll get some new vintage style figures from the Princess of Power? I'd really love to have the star sisters in my motu/pop collection! Thanks :)
So sad they didn't release Megator and dinos :(
Finally Official releases? You mean the SDCC He-Ro doesn't exist?
How fuggin amazing !!
how bout the origin stories?
Weird that He-ro's arm bands don't go all the way around his arms.
They are supposed to be open backed bracers, which are a real type of historical armour. The gap allows it to bend open as you fit your hand though it, giving it a snug fit around the wrist. The 1982 He-Man figure has the same type on his left arm.
Eldor is so great!
"Hey pixel dan where's the rise of the tmnt reviews? Like for the second waves and everything about them."
@Chopsy The Homicidal Maniac Probably i hope he didn't stop though because of that i really love seeing rise of the tmnt figures of it he was doing at first.
That's not eldor, that's dr.wagner (mexican luchador)
YEAH!
Are these coming to origins?
I jst need wave 4 in package frm super7
Sumthng i still had in my mind wanin.
Eldor's book is very disappointing. Based on the prototype toy and cardback, its obvious that it was supposed to be scaled to fit in the figure hands, and the stickers were intended to be holograms or lenticular.
The book is exactly like the prototype. It wasn't supposed to be scaled down.
We wanted to do the holograms, but in the end that was not possible.
@@EmilianoSantalucia why? It is an expensive process to make them?
He-Ro's face looks nothing like the prototype.
They screwed up on He-Ro's face. When you look at the picture of the prototype, it doesn't look like him. The prototype has a cool face, this Super 7 face is...something is just wrong with it. He looks to creepy from one angle, and then on a different angle he looks like a dork. There's a picture online where they pose the Super 7 figure next to the old picture of the prototype and they look completely different. I own this Super 7 He-Ro figure. Everything is done nicely, it's just that face. They should've ordered a re-sculpt.
What other toys were in this line. I would like to read more about it.
The only released toys were the 3 dinosaurs and the two giants in Italy. Some other figures were designed, but none got produced.
@@EmilianoSantalucia Thanks dude. It would be cool if Super 7 finished the line
I’m on my second He-Ro and he still wants to fall backwards, what can I do to get him to stand as he does in this video.
Hot water my friend.
@@rmn0019 I thought of that, but I don’t want to risk the hot water with the gold.
Mine as well but with the staff I can equilibrate him, no hot water or anything damaging the metal vac just look to find his equilibrium point
Is it just me, or does He-Ro's face sculpt make him look like he's about to be featured on "to catch a predator'"?
Tim F i made you some cookies, they’re on the counter
If we can get a vac metal He-Ro in 2019, then we can get a vac metal R2 and 3PO in the Retro Collection. Just sayin.... :)
Any one else have a hard time removing the stickers from the sheets?
I'm glad the vac metal is back. I lost all interest when they went the other route. I swear* I remember seeing He-Ro in a catalog when I was a kid. (Didn't they used to do that, Dan? Advertise toys that were about to be released but often were delayed or canceled?) But anyway I have wanted that character forEVer. Thanks Dan!
Edit: Any opinion if, as they're part of the set, the vintage Dino's will go up on the secondary market because of these? Just curious.
Eldor's head/face is way too big when compared alongside vintage He-Man 12:14
He-ro has a weird, creepy smile. Looks more sadistic in stead of heroïc...
Shouldve got these but $$ be tight
Hero's face looks too goofy. He looks like Bruce Campbell
@@decepticreeperscustoms8274 That's probably due to the fact that I wasn't trying to spell groovy, Goofy.
That microphone needs to be sorted out with popping sounds, its a bit annoying when wearing headphones.
12:54 1982 Conan the barbarian gladiator slave
4.9 views but only 400 thumbs up?! Come on people Pixel Dan Is Lit
toys that use a metallic swirl plastic you have to be wary of He-ro's staff might end up degrading by the end of 2029.
Not always. My 1987 Hasbro Visionaries that have silver and gold accessories are still in perfect condition.
@@rocketcon true but there is the slim chance so I'm just suggesting to be cautious.
All comes down to the mix of chemicals used in the plastic. Sometimes you just get a bad batch.
Translucent dans favourite word lol
Figures are too stiff
Herrendous packaging.
He-Ro is a total dork.
The Eldor figure always fascinated me, so I ordered one. It took forever for Super 7 to ship it to me but I eventually got the figure. I do not intend to open it but I am pleased to have the figure.
