    Awesome set, especially for a repaint! And thanks for being so thorough in your reviews. I'm actually happy the Classics Hover Bots are coming over to Origins. The red is striking but I hope they re-release the gray 3 pack so I can army build. I'm only a Filmation collector but this guy is too cool to pass up.

      @MrHootiedean Thanks for taking the time to check out the review as always! I'm really happy they put out this set the way they did with both figures. The Horde trooper is really cool with the new weapons and colors, and the Red Classics Hover Bot works really well for the Origins.
      Maybe the Origins will reuse those Hover bots again, but cast in the grey tones.

Thunder Punch He-man is another deluxe carded figure like King Hiss and produced in limited quantities. Many places that carried preorders on those figures took forever to ship or didn't get enough. I never ordered from Smyths before, but I have talked with hundreds of people in the comments who have good things to say about most preorders, but again, it depends on the figure and whether they are a USA Retailer exclusive first. I appreciate your support and positive thoughts on this channel!

    @FandomEntanglement 14 днів тому +1

    Very cool set! I wasn’t aware that the cape was made of cloth. I like that because the plastic capes feel a bit awkward to me. On the other hand, though, I get nervous that the cloth might get ripped or stretched out if not handled properly. It’s sort of a debatable trade-off as to which material is better. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s really cool that they gave us Hordak’s arm cannon, and the interchangeable weapons definitely make the Horde Trooper Prime feel a bit more special and “important” in the Trooper hierarchy. Trap Jaw’s rifle has a slightly larger peg, which is why it doesn’t fit on the “Roboto” arm all the way. What’s funny is that I’ve recently been opening the early Origins waves with my 4-year-old, and we still have Turtles of Grayskull Mouse Jaw in package (who also reuses Roboto’s weapons for the Metal-Boto build-a-figure), so every time my son looks at it, he says, “Look Daddy, those are Roboto’s!” And I’m like, “Yes, they are!” 😂 He’ll probably do the same thing if and when he sees them with this figure too! At least they’ve changed up the colors instead of literally reusing the same black Trap Jaw accessories for Terroar (which kind of felt lazy to me).
    The Hover Bot did look identical to the one from Classics, so it’s not surprising they just repainted it. I believe they did the same thing with Mini-Comic Tri-Klops’ glow-in-the-dark ring, if I’m not mistaken. It still works, so I have no issues with that. I can see this set being a bit difficult to track down. Was it supposed to be a Walmart exclusive? If so…ughhh!!! 🙄

      @FandomEntanglement Hello again, Damon! Thanks for checking out this Horde Prime set review.
      Overall, it's a really fun looking set, considering it's all reused parts with different colors. The cape is only a newer accessory added. I like the idea of it being cloth over plastic for the reasons you also mentioned. I think the material is strong enough for the average setup. But can definitely rip in certain areas during play or constant movement.
      The double weapon arms are a great addition to this Horde trooper. I personally like the mix of Trap-jaw and Roboto accessories cast in that red translucent plasma look. It's also really cool that both arms are reversible and can fit on both sides of the trooper or other figures such as the regular Hordak like I showed.
      I also recently just opened my mouse jaw figure to remove the build of figures parts. I didn't review him. There are so many reviews out there. It's funny that your son took notice of the reused Trap-jaw and Roboto parts. I think our generation is just used to seeing repaints and the reuse of parts with the MOTU lines as it's always been a normal part of the vintage figures and Classics lines. Yes, this is a Walmart exclusive set now! I got mine on eBay from a seller who probably bought a few from Walmart. These are also up for Preorder at certain places online, I believe!

    I have this figure on preorder as i am a huge Horde Trooper and Horde faction fan. Red is my favorite colour so this figure was a must for me, but i cant help thinking his eyes would look better being white for better contrast. I like the cape but the cloth looks a little cheap, the figure may have looked better with a plastic cape like scareglows or using higher quality fabric, it looks like it holds creases really easily.

    I can't keep track of this line anymore. Is this a Walmart exclusive? Ever since they released the Cartoon Collection & Turtles Of Grayskull I can't keep track of the Vintage collection. I still don't know WTF is going on with Terroar, Lord Grasp or Vypor. I also don't know what's going on with Turtles Of Grayskull Moss-Man or Mer-Man. I just watched a toy hunt video & the guy's Walmart had 1 Mer-Man hanging there with a ton of Krangs.
    This confusion has made me lose interest. If Mattel wants to make the line impossible to collect & enjoy then I will take my money elsewhere. I have already moved on & have been focusing on Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron. I don't have the patience for the shit Mattel has been pulling in 2024.
