I was going to pass the whole line as I wasn't feeling the promo pics. Then I saw the turtles in person. I now have all of the turtles side other than April 😂 Krang may be one of my favourites of any line!
I am, because I remember watching both cartoons in the late 80s and early 90s. And this is what I can find in stores and Toy Conventions. I don't like shopping online if I can avoid it.
For the price point, sculpts, articulation, interchangeable parts, accessories, themes, and art packaging; Mattel is not only providing nostalgia, but awesome figures that could be anything in one's collection. Looking forward to the Thundercats match up.
@geekillustratordad4982 Yeah I doubt it gets a reissue but I could see them hitting stores with Leatherhead in an aisle display or something possibly. Wouldn't be entirely surprised if BBTS ends up with some stock eventually either. Or maybe just wishful thinking lol
The issue with Merman is Walmart using the same SKU for the Deluxe figures. It doesn't matter the character. So if Krang is still in stock or didn't sell, replenishment is denied. This is why wave 2 of the Transformers Velocitron never made it to stores. There is a chance we might see em at Ross some day
Wel to be fair, Eternians can't tell the difference between He-man and Faker, or that Prince Adam looks exactly like He-man, so He-man in a turquoise cloak would be well disguised.
I think the removable shells (on the Turtles themselves) is just a "side effect" of the removable/mix and match aspect of the origins line, since in the actual mini comics they don't remove their shells to use as shields.
Hopefully they'll keep adding more and more of these entertaining deisgns with all the characters from both MOTU and TMNT. They should even mash up characters from other lines to add to the mix. What fun!
The Stealth He-Man really should have had normal booted feet. If Mattel really needed to re-use that particular mold then they should have brought in more characters that would need that design.
This is a really fun line - thanks for covering it - no complaints on a longer video from me! I'm with you in that I like the mutants best so far - Mer Man looks so cool.
pixel dan has always had a unique take on motu and i agree with his views. i never picked up on the line because i was expecting new and unique sculpts
This was a good video. I really want that Mer-Man. Haven't been able to find one yet. Wanting a Foot Soldier army-builder that isn't supposed to be King Hiss. I just feel like the line needs an army builder.
I’m right there with ya on the Rattlor figure. I’m all about the mutants as well. I’m actually glad he has translucent plastic on him because I was worried they were gonna cheap out and not use it. I also wish the merman was easier to get. It’s an excellent figure. The mutants are just amazing stand alone action figures for me. So creative and absolutely wild.
You can't go 80's early 90's "mutant toys" without at least one shoe being broken and the toes poking out... I mean, just look at Toxic Crusaders, Mad Balls, TMNT, Street shark, and probably several other toy line of that era 😄
Heck yah I’m collecting this still. It’s amazing. Cant believe how well each figure is and how deep they’ve went. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought put into each character. Job well done. I’m hoping for a vehicle and small playset
The toys in the 80s were so popular that they just keep on milking that cow. It also highlights that they're creatively broke. But that's the norm, there are no new IPs in the movie, games, comics, tv shows, and books that are anywhere near as popular.
100% disagree about Casey. I love the mask and he's a highlight for me. I do agree about Teela and the removable turtle shell shields (its like theyre peeling their own shell off. Its like body horror). She's just teela with kind of turtle themed kit. Should have merged Teela with Irma, lol. I'd love to see that crossover I'm in the pro wig camp. It's totally something Mikey would do
Am I the only one who has issues with how fragile and smelly April's wings are? They feel like cardboard I could crush in my hand just by squeezing! 😬 Now I have just taken her head and put it on the turtle-armor Teela body. A real let down, because I like characters with the "hawkman" wings trope. I just keep them in my box for all the other loose parts, they are so fragile I am a bit terrified every time I try putting them back on. Also did I simply get a bad pair, because the paint apps on mine seem a bit blurrier to me? Either way you'll still want the Teela figure because she has Raphael's other giant sai, much like how turtle-armor Man-at-arms has the other half of Donatello's mace/club/staff.
I also have been confused by the removable shells when watching your videos. Until you showed the wings on April and Hordak. Now you can put wings on your turtles? Maybe?
I think Michelangelo's nunchucks are the same ones that came with Ninjor and Slamari, but production has been moved to another country and I think the quality has taken a dip.
You are so right About merman my idea is put the tail in the Trident on one of them and then give the rest the sword and the legs to be like the one with the tails henchmen
Well, according to another “ToyTuber,” he said Mattel specifically told him at SDCC that ToG was ending in 2025 to make room for ThunderCats. Personally, it doesn’t really make sense to me that Mattel would update the packaging and start a whole new storyline just for it to end within the next 2 waves, but who knows? So far, I’ve only been able to pick up all of the Target exclusives, so I only have those four figures (plus the completed build-a-figure), but I want to be all in on this line. My son absolutely loves all of these characters and the interchangeable features, so it’s really cool to see him exploring these two worlds and making the characters do weird things. He does seem to be enjoying TMNT more than MotU, which is fine. I think it’s because most of them are mutated animals. Kind of surprised you’re a bit lukewarm to Casey Jones and Teela, I think their designs are pretty cool. As for Mer-Man, I may have been one of the few people that was a bit indifferent to his design. The disproportionate head really threw me off on his design, but you’re actually the first person I’ve seen that pointed out his head is modeled after an angler fish, so now the bigger head makes more sense to me. Hordak is damn awesome! As for Wave 5, now that I see them in hand, I think I like this new “Snake Hunter” Raph and Donnie better than the first ones. Very glad to see that Donnie’s head garb can indeed be removed to give him the more traditional look. That was sort of a big slip-up Mattel made on the first one. Rattlor does look pretty rad, I have to say! Love that he still rattles, but I’m still disappointed that the neck requires extensions in order to pull off the “action feature.” I know it’ll be the same thing with Mekaneck, and that really bugs me. Almost every single Origins figure that has had their heads pulled off and put back on by either my son or myself now has an extremely loose ball joint resulting in bobble-head syndrome, which is kind of irritating. Plus, it’s often a bit of a struggle for me to pull the figures apart and put them back together again. I shouldn’t have to hurt my arm and shoulders just to have a little fun with my boy while he’s playing with them. 🤷🏻♂️ All in all though, gripes aside, I really love this line. I was hoping we’d see more mashups, like Buzz-Off and Baxter, or other classic characters such as Evil-Lyn and Tri-Klops. I mean, there’s such a huge roster of characters from both franchises. It would be such a waste to have the line end next year before they really had a chance to go deeper into the lineup. ~Damon
This has been my favorite line of the year, it's been amazing being able to find these at target instead of Stratos and Jitsu! It's been such a great time but we just need vehicles and playsets to put these awesome figures in/around!
My personal favorite is Leatherhead. I actually painted the irises in his eyes more define to make him a good guy. 2003 Leatherhead is the ultimate combination of brains and brawn.
ToG is my current favorite line I am collecting and the original line but down to the more expensive rare figures. I really hope they do another run of Mer Man, and I still need to find Leatherhead.
The villains are definitely my favorite. I haven’t been buying all of the figures in these lines and just grab the ones that stand out to me. I have bought mostly the villains and only a few of the heroes though. The enemies are much more creative and interesting
MOTU: Origins and Turtles of Grayskull have been drying up at retail here. I've only seen Man-At-Arms (Cartoon Collection) for the longest time at Target. Walmarts in my area have completely abandoned MOTU in favor of wrestling figures.
There is just something "off" about the April figure. I think it's the yellow legs, bare legs would give her even more of a sorceress vibe. And I agree with you on the silver accents on Teela, Mattel really should've painted the rest of the details on the body.
Great video as usual, PD! I cannot wait to see what they do with MOTU / Thundercats!! I assume most of the Cats will be slightly tweaked and not just standard TCats designs, but they will definitely be interesting. I still cant believe that it's happening. If they ever do MOTU / Star Wars, I'll have to sell a kidney.
Not being able to get the Mutated Merman figure is what killed the line for me. I was going for the complete line, but all the Walmarts near me don't carry MOTU toys anymore. So, I guess I'm out for the rest of the series.
We would lie to be able to buy all of them. These need to be more readily available for us to actually find. Fix that problem Mattel! The fans are enjoying this line and the fun designs!
I stopped at the fab4, splinter and shredder. For the moment anyway. I’d have collected more, but don’t have the cash. I’d love the idea of the 2bopsteady but haven’t picked it up yet. That Casey head sculpt felt very 2000s turtles. I do think it’s odd to have variants in the line so soon. I keep meaning to pick up a wind raider to customise tnmt style!
Where is the slime pit? Where is the turn key play set that initiates the whole mash up sliming process play pattern? Hopefully soon and hoping it doubles for vintage and this line.
OH WOW! These are very entertaining designs! Mattel really should make sure these are more available for people to actually find so they can buy them. Enough with the exclusives nonsense!
I think April having a look based on Photog would have made more sense to me (her being a reporter and all). Her sorceress look is pretty cute, though.
I may be done other than the mutants since I have all of the first year product. Well I skipped stealth Leo. I may get new snake armor Turtles to mix and match. We’ll see. Very curious about the Thundercats. I wonder if Baxter will get a MoTU look. It’s been fun.
Missed out on the Original Leonardo, so the new one works for a replacement, took the hood and the lower "cloak" part off too, but added the loincloth from Mikey, i didn't like it on him, placed on the Leonardo.
Long video is fine for me, just discovered this line recently.😁 Shame about the Casey mask but given the modular nature maybe later they'll do a better mask like they've done with the head sculpt complaint revisions. Also do kind of wish there was a bat in there, if they don't have an Eternian bat, then a wasted opportunity to not make one.😉 I like TMNT Teela, the turtle armor is a good design in my eyes. Lol they'd be some pretty bad designers if they screwed up Skeletor, knocked that one out of the park. I like the wig on Mikey, totally get what they were going for Ie. homage. Solid Leo design. Stealth He-Man is okay but pretty hard to top that awesome mutant version. Must saw the April looks much better once you get it out of the packaging and pose the wings and get the hammer in her hands. Liking the Hordak but that face paint, I could do better than that. That is the buffest Splinter I've ever seen heh. Wow that Merman turned out great, a sweet example of molded plastic colors, I don't usually like transparency. You can't wrong with snake or skull motifs, the snake men ones turned out really nice especially Rattlor. Hey it's a transformation, the muscles grew so big the shell had to recede to accommodate them lol, I like the shell still being part of their anatomy though like tough leathery skin plates.
I passed on the April today but might pick it up. What I'm really looking for is that hordak. I don't want all the figs but I've got most of what I want besides shredder.
I just recently got the 2 head bebop & rocksteady from target online. I’ve only been cherry picking this line. I really want a mer man, leatherhead, & rattlor. And ninjor when he hits. I passed on hordak & Casey although I thought they looked good. Just buying way too much and limited space so gotta really be picky
Love the original toyline, yes… I’m old🤣. Looks fun, not great fan of the Teartles. I have the Optimus Prime 86 now, he is cool. Love the 80’s love toys. I’ll give you ❤️😃, and gearing’s from the Netherlands🇳🇱😃❤️
I find it ironic. Casey Jones is one the highly praised figures from this line in all the earliest reviews I have seen. Not sure how one can say he's not recognizable as Casey. Sure reads that way to me and I actually got both Casey and April because MOTU scales great with the 2012 Turtle Brothers. The Turtles themselves are the least interesting part of this line. All into Shredder (Best Shredder going) and Hordak has become my default Hordak.
I'd have gotten Teela if the helmet was removable as original preview images showed. Casey needed to include an extra holding left hand. And why translucent weapons? Mer-Man going Merdude is cool, but, yeah, why is it rare? Reptile Wars is a fun use of parts, but the first two waves are hero heavy, makes me wonder if they are going past wave 2 with the theme and not switching to Thundercats for spring/summer. If they do, hopefully more snake-men and evil warriors and not so much say, something like a Casey Jones in snake armor and another Skeletor (you just know they want to reuse snake armor Skeletor's head again) I may be in the minority here, but Rattlor would be far cooler with bone colored head and neck and non-translucent parts. I feel that way about almost everything translucent.
Im curious why Teela wasnt a mutant? like she has the enchantress form or whatever couldnt they have done something with that? Or maybe its gonna be its own separate figure mayhaps hm
I think some people voted for the Lair, since they thought Mattel would make the Fight Zone anyway. But there's no guarantee that any of the vintage vehicles and playsets will get remade since they don't sell well.
Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Are we still collecting this line?
I was going to pass the whole line as I wasn't feeling the promo pics.
Then I saw the turtles in person. I now have all of the turtles side other than April 😂
Krang may be one of my favourites of any line!
you bet I am.
💯
Wao! What an honor Dan! Mattel decided to acknowledge you by giving Stealth He-Man your face.
The resemblance is uncanny.
I am, because I remember watching both cartoons in the late 80s and early 90s. And this is what I can find in stores and Toy Conventions. I don't like shopping online if I can avoid it.
For the price point, sculpts, articulation, interchangeable parts, accessories, themes, and art packaging; Mattel is not only providing nostalgia, but awesome figures that could be anything in one's collection. Looking forward to the Thundercats match up.
My thoughts exactly!
A Mutant Mer Man reissue is much needed!
I haven’t been able to find that one 😢
I can't believe that they've all made it to stores already. I'm hoping for a bunch to start landing soon before the holidays. 🤞
I don’t think they’re released any of those
@geekillustratordad4982 Yeah I doubt it gets a reissue but I could see them hitting stores with Leatherhead in an aisle display or something possibly. Wouldn't be entirely surprised if BBTS ends up with some stock eventually either. Or maybe just wishful thinking lol
The issue with Merman is Walmart using the same SKU for the Deluxe figures. It doesn't matter the character. So if Krang is still in stock or didn't sell, replenishment is denied.

I think the removable shells (on the Turtles themselves) is just a "side effect" of the removable/mix and match aspect of the origins line, since in the actual mini comics they don't remove their shells to use as shields.
Splinter is JACKED!!
I hope Mattel does an origins-ish line for Thundercats, that would be great!
Already announced
Think you're getting ready to see an O-Ring version of TC by super7
The removable turtle shell shield is cool if pose with villains, as if they won.
Hopefully they'll keep adding more and more of these entertaining deisgns with all the characters from both MOTU and TMNT.
They should even mash up characters from other lines to add to the mix.
What fun!
Absolute win on Rattlor
Hands down my favourite MOTU line this year, so much fun!
I call april's weapon the CaHammera :D
The Stealth He-Man really should have had normal booted feet.
If Mattel really needed to re-use that particular mold then they should have brought in more characters that would need that design.
This is a really fun line - thanks for covering it - no complaints on a longer video from me! I'm with you in that I like the mutants best so far - Mer Man looks so cool.
Thanks, Dan, this was a fun watch! I wish you could do a video like this with all the Masterverse figures you haven't reviewed yet.
I want the Merman figure so much I’ve been looking for him forever. The prices are absolutely ridiculous
adding about 1200 more sqft to the house, thanks Mattel...:P
pixel dan has always had a unique take on motu and i agree with his views. i never picked up on the line because i was expecting new and unique sculpts
This was a good video. I really want that Mer-Man. Haven't been able to find one yet.
Wanting a Foot Soldier army-builder that isn't supposed to be King Hiss. I just feel like the line needs an army builder.
I actually agree with the shell part. I kind of wish the shells were not removable.
I’m right there with ya on the Rattlor figure. I’m all about the mutants as well. I’m actually glad he has translucent plastic on him because I was worried they were gonna cheap out and not use it. I also wish the merman was easier to get. It’s an excellent figure. The mutants are just amazing stand alone action figures for me. So creative and absolutely wild.

I mean, just look at Toxic Crusaders, Mad Balls, TMNT, Street shark, and probably several other toy line of that era 😄
Rattlor reminds me of a time they didnt care how grusome a toy can be.
Already ordered that Rattlor, I LOVE IT!
Heck yah I’m collecting this still. It’s amazing. Cant believe how well each figure is and how deep they’ve went. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought put into each character. Job well done.
I’m hoping for a vehicle and small playset

I am so glad you did the catch-up; I didn’t realize they actually got past Wave 2!
100% disagree about Casey. I love the mask and he's a highlight for me. I do agree about Teela and the removable turtle shell shields (its like theyre peeling their own shell off. Its like body horror). She's just teela with kind of turtle themed kit. Should have merged Teela with Irma, lol. I'd love to see that crossover
I'm in the pro wig camp. It's totally something Mikey would do
Eh, I’m used to the turtle shell shields. They’ve been doing that since the Super Turtles (remember that Japanese OVA?).
Am I the only one who has issues with how fragile and smelly April's wings are? They feel like cardboard I could crush in my hand just by squeezing! 😬
Now I have just taken her head and put it on the turtle-armor Teela body. A real let down, because I like characters with the "hawkman" wings trope.
I just keep them in my box for all the other loose parts, they are so fragile I am a bit terrified every time I try putting them back on. Also did I simply get a bad pair, because the paint apps on mine seem a bit blurrier to me? Either way you'll still want the Teela figure because she has Raphael's other giant sai, much like how turtle-armor Man-at-arms has the other half of Donatello's mace/club/staff.
That Snake Hunter Ralph skipped leg day though
I personally would have holes that go under the armor so you could attach the shell without the armor
I also have been confused by the removable shells when watching your videos. Until you showed the wings on April and Hordak. Now you can put wings on your turtles? Maybe?
Surprised you’re cold on Casey Jones 🤷🏻♂️ easily my favourite figure of the line.
I think Michelangelo's nunchucks are the same ones that came with Ninjor and Slamari, but production has been moved to another country and I think the quality has taken a dip.
Yeah they can be cleaned up and broken free. Just takes a little time and a lot of care with an exacto knife.
Pixel Dan? It’s turtles, Casey Jones is wearing a turtle neck as you call them in USA
Dickey Jones? 😂
You are so right About merman my idea is put the tail in the Trident on one of them and then give the rest the sword and the legs to be like the one with the tails henchmen

As for Wave 5, now that I see them in hand, I think I like this new “Snake Hunter” Raph and Donnie better than the first ones. Very glad to see that Donnie’s head garb can indeed be removed to give him the more traditional look. That was sort of a big slip-up Mattel made on the first one. Rattlor does look pretty rad, I have to say! Love that he still rattles, but I’m still disappointed that the neck requires extensions in order to pull off the “action feature.” I know it’ll be the same thing with Mekaneck, and that really bugs me.

Absolutely love these figures especially Skeletor Hordak Rattlor Stealth Ninja Heman and Casey Jones
I still get the deluxes and other cool designs, but I’ve passed on all of the basic characters besides Casey (weapon pack) and shredder.
My personal favorite is Leatherhead. I actually painted the irises in his eyes more define to make him a good guy. 2003 Leatherhead is the ultimate combination of brains and brawn.
ToG is my current favorite line I am collecting and the original line but down to the more expensive rare figures. I really hope they do another run of Mer Man, and I still need to find Leatherhead.
Agreed that the remove shell is weird!
Hopefully the MOTU and Thundercats line fits in with these existing MOTU and TMNT figures.
It's just a fun and exciting universe.
It's real nice Mattel sent them to Dan now how about they send them out to the stores,Im still looking for Mikey and Raph.
The villains are definitely my favorite. I haven’t been buying all of the figures in these lines and just grab the ones that stand out to me. I have bought mostly the villains and only a few of the heroes though. The enemies are much more creative and interesting
MOTU: Origins and Turtles of Grayskull have been drying up at retail here. I've only seen Man-At-Arms (Cartoon Collection) for the longest time at Target. Walmarts in my area have completely abandoned MOTU in favor of wrestling figures.
I’m in the UK and I’ve got that Mer-Man, he was pretty easy to get 🤷🏻♂️

I so want that merman even if I am trying to avoid getting into the whole line. I lucked up and found Moss-Man and he rocks too.
We would lie to be able to buy all of them.
These need to be more readily available for us to actually find.
Fix that problem Mattel!
The fans are enjoying this line and the fun designs!
Take the LEO ronin parts and put it on mikey lmao and give leo mikeys hair lol
He plays hockey, off course he would wear a turtleneck 😄😉
I stopped at the fab4, splinter and shredder. For the moment anyway. I’d have collected more, but don’t have the cash. I’d love the idea of the 2bopsteady but haven’t picked it up yet.
That Casey head sculpt felt very 2000s turtles.
I do think it’s odd to have variants in the line so soon.
I keep meaning to pick up a wind raider to customise tnmt style!
I bought a Cartoon collection He-Man to swap out as the base for that Stealth He-Man just because this line has more of a cartoon aesthetic
I'd love to find a merman
I love this line so much!
The rattlor figure is the real star of this new line
Where is the slime pit? Where is the turn key play set that initiates the whole mash up sliming process play pattern? Hopefully soon and hoping it doubles for vintage and this line.
I think Sorceress April is my favourite figure Mattel has ever done.
OH WOW!
These are very entertaining designs!
Mattel really should make sure these are more available for people to actually find so they can buy them.
Enough with the exclusives nonsense!
I think April having a look based on Photog would have made more sense to me (her being a reporter and all). Her sorceress look is pretty cute, though.
Why haven't we gotten Fearless Photog in Origins?
I may be done other than the mutants since I have all of the first year product. Well I skipped stealth Leo. I may get new snake armor Turtles to mix and match. We’ll see. Very curious about the Thundercats. I wonder if Baxter will get a MoTU look. It’s been fun.
I'm with you man. Pro wig, anti shell shield.
Missed out on the Original Leonardo, so the new one works for a replacement, took the hood and the lower "cloak" part off too, but added the loincloth from Mikey, i didn't like it on him, placed on the Leonardo.
There are some great figures in this line. I bought some of them. To me the April-Sorceress is the best looking female ORIGINS figure yet.
Stealth leo is what i see him doing in a different universe like this
Im so excited for clamp champ. Hes not my favorite nor my favorite figure but i just like what they do with him
Great work as always TOG is a dream come true I never knew I had 😂🙌🔥
Long video is fine for me, just discovered this line recently.😁
Shame about the Casey mask but given the modular nature maybe later they'll do a better mask like they've done with the head sculpt complaint revisions. Also do kind of wish there was a bat in there, if they don't have an Eternian bat, then a wasted opportunity to not make one.😉
I like TMNT Teela, the turtle armor is a good design in my eyes. Lol they'd be some pretty bad designers if they screwed up Skeletor, knocked that one out of the park. I like the wig on Mikey, totally get what they were going for Ie. homage. Solid Leo design.
Stealth He-Man is okay but pretty hard to top that awesome mutant version. Must saw the April looks much better once you get it out of the packaging and pose the wings and get the hammer in her hands. Liking the Hordak but that face paint, I could do better than that.

Hey it's a transformation, the muscles grew so big the shell had to recede to accommodate them lol, I like the shell still being part of their anatomy though like tough leathery skin plates.
I've just started collecting these figures cowabunga time 🐢🍕
I passed on the April today but might pick it up. What I'm really looking for is that hordak. I don't want all the figs but I've got most of what I want besides shredder.
I always watch the whole video man and I barely collect any tmnt or motu Interesting vid as always 👍🤘
As for Teela. When I reviewed her I thought she was inspired by Shredder.
It’s toys, let’s have fun… Casey is great.
Amazing 😻 Toys 🧸
Maybe if they had Casey’s new mask in white it would look better?
20:15 angler fish
I just recently got the 2 head bebop & rocksteady from target online. I’ve only been cherry picking this line. I really want a mer man, leatherhead, & rattlor. And ninjor when he hits. I passed on hordak & Casey although I thought they looked good. Just buying way too much and limited space so gotta really be picky
Love the original toyline, yes… I’m old🤣. Looks fun, not great fan of the Teartles. I have the Optimus Prime 86 now, he is cool. Love the 80’s love toys. I’ll give you ❤️😃, and gearing’s from the Netherlands🇳🇱😃❤️
I think they are doing the sheild shell so the armor can be used on ther figures
No leatherhead or Moss man?
As for mer man I found one and lol 🤣 I sent it to NARC never knowing it go crazy expensive and hard to find. Its all good.
I find it ironic. Casey Jones is one the highly praised figures from this line in all the earliest reviews I have seen.
Not sure how one can say he's not recognizable as Casey. Sure reads that way to me and I actually got both Casey and April because MOTU scales great with the 2012 Turtle Brothers.
The Turtles themselves are the least interesting part of this line. All into Shredder (Best Shredder going) and Hordak has become my default Hordak.
I'd have gotten Teela if the helmet was removable as original preview images showed.
Casey needed to include an extra holding left hand. And why translucent weapons?
Mer-Man going Merdude is cool, but, yeah, why is it rare?
Reptile Wars is a fun use of parts, but the first two waves are hero heavy, makes me wonder if they are going past wave 2 with the theme and not switching to Thundercats for spring/summer. If they do, hopefully more snake-men and evil warriors and not so much say, something like a Casey Jones in snake armor and another Skeletor (you just know they want to reuse snake armor Skeletor's head again)
I may be in the minority here, but Rattlor would be far cooler with bone colored head and neck and non-translucent parts. I feel that way about almost everything translucent.
Red rocket rattlor
Im curious why Teela wasnt a mutant? like she has the enchantress form or whatever couldnt they have done something with that? Or maybe its gonna be its own separate figure mayhaps hm
Hopefully we get a new slime pit. I mean they been mentioning in the back packages and comics now
The promotion images of Teela you showed in your last video shows Teela's helmet not on her head as an accessory. Are you sure it's not removable?
Is your Casey missing a katana or did mine have a weapon it should not have had?!
The katana definitely is on all the promotional pictures, so I'd wager you do get one. I'd have to open my box and check.
@GermanNightmare1976 oh no looks like Dan doesn't have one then!
Can Rattlor stand up with both neck pieces attached?
Also, i wish someone made a Spider-Man/MOTU crossover fanfilm.
More Snake Men, who at Mattel has a reptile fetish? I'm still convinced they rigged the fan poll to try and force the Snake Lair.
I think some people voted for the Lair, since they thought Mattel would make the Fight Zone anyway. But there's no guarantee that any of the vintage vehicles and playsets will get remade since they don't sell well.
I'm not the biggest Turtles of Grayskull fan, but Rattlor is really awesome!
Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
TBH I’m getting sick of the snake men. They basically hijacked the origins line.
Yes, its quite ridiculous why does even MOTU TMNT need to have SnakeMen themed cardbacks
Is it worth to leave the packaging on my 4th wave Leo ?
Anglerfish.
Where is (Rat-King)????..I Love-That Casey Jones:)
