My mom sold my collection at a yard sale when I was a teenager. I had the original Grayskull, Fright Zone, Snake Mountain, and over 80 figures. It makes me cry every time I think about it. No doubt in my mind, I would still be playing with it today as a 32 year old man.
Something similar happened to be man! Tragic!
+Bryan Speer so did my mom :-(
Me too. My dad went on a cleaning rampage in the late 80's.
that will be creepy bruh no offense
"I feel your pain"(Bill Clinton).That happened to me too! :(
What made the vintage toys so cool was the packaging artwork. You would get lost for hours and days just looking at the artwork. So much going on. A lot of details. A lot of use of different colors. A lot of times I would hold the package more than the actual toy.
You can tell how much love there is for these toys when he opens the jawbridge using He-man holding his sword, rather than the guy just poking the sword in like a key. If He-man himself doesn't do it, it doesn't count!
I would like them to design a Castle Greyskull that could be ever expanded with a modular lock system. Allowing for more room scenes to be added in. Such has hallways, or going inside the dungeon, a medical bay perhaps....etc
Great idea, although something like that did happen already. Both Point Dread and the Eternia plaset were intended to link up to Castle Grayskull. The 2002 version also had an expansion set that added a back wall to the castle.
Do it bro there’s a market for it I bet u could make it way better then the original
It's 2am and I'm watching the greatest review of 2013. Superb Dan, superb.
Ooooh ja, brutal review & playset!
1am for me in 2018!
2:43 in 2020. still good
Yes. I too found this at 2am-ish. 6 years later this review is still awesome.
2021
This is one of the best reviews you've ever done, Dan. I've actually watched the whole video through like seven times.
yeah im rewatching PD too
I remember my father made me one in cardboard alike and he drew the skull and detailed the teeth of greyskull, and it had two sides as well as a front and with snake windows. It was not a real play-set, but it could be used in any way you wanted and store several figures inside. Back in the 80'ties the Greyskull castle cost a lot, so we had to build on our own. My father made me a play-set with the snake mountain as well, with a door that opened with a string. Very simple :-) This is one great play-set and maybe now a days i'll consider buying one, maybe :-)
Your father is a cool guy!
He is. Even at age 66 he enjoys techno music:-)
MBJ861 that was really nice of him, reminds me of the time when I would play inside my home made Robin Hood hideaway for hours on end, in my bedroom (I'm a 90s kid) sadly most kids today would not except home made toys, heck they don't even play with toys any more! Which I think is tragic...
You should ask your Dad to help you build a new one.
Speaking as a Graphic Designer,I must say the box art on this is incredible!Love it and I hope to one day create a image just as epic.
My god, the quality is incredible! Mattel has done it this time! Seriously, the original does not even compare! This is amazing!
Gotta love how the box art features a grown man displaying it 👌🦆🦉
5 years later and this is still one of my absolute favorite Pixel Dan toy reviews❣❣❣❣❣❣
"The overall girth and size of it is amazing. I know there were a lot of questions in the beginning on how big this thing was going to be. It's going one those things you just aren't going understand how massive it is until you have it in person. It's going to be one of those things where you aren't going to know where to put it when you get it."
That's exactly how I wish girls talked about my penis.
Seeing this box took me back 30 years to when I got my Grayskull, and as much as this video makes me want to collect one, I'm not quite ready to spend the $300 plus right now.
$300? They are $2,500!
@@jcmedinaceli the castle costs $2500? Holy chim.
Welcome to the Future - 1000 dollars and up.
The stickers on the trapdoor & in the cell really kicked off the nostalgia for me.
Can't wait for it man , it looks great ! I might actually keep one boxed. I ordered 3 two for me and one I actually will set up for display at a local boys home where I always send one of my three subbed items! Can't wait
That SHIRT IS AWESOME!! MegaMan meets Trapjaw!!
This Review was just totally Epic! Thanks Dan! What an awesome BIG Piece! Just WOW
Now we can concentrate on Snake Mountain, Fright Zone, and even better....
CLASSICS ETERNIA !!!
Classics eternia belike 5 gs
At least we got Snake Mountain.
Man im 32 and still loving it lol
I remember when I was a child I used to love going to garage sales with my mom and find Master Of The Universe gems. Cheap too! I remember buying the action figures for a quarter each!
Wow. This. Is. EPIC!! Thank you, Dan for this wonderful and thorough video review!!! I do believe a lot of MOTU fans will be salivating for this playset after watching this video! Great job and keep up the excellent work, Dan! :)
Beautiful piece and a worthy video for this massive playset!
Also, I have to give it to you, you just made a really detailed review. Keep producing high quality stuff Dan!
Dan, you just made your masterpiece! Best review ever.
I remember getting the original way back in the day. was my favorite toy ever.
All these year later, and I can't express enough how much I love the in jokes with The (self proclaimed) Mighty Spector from putting his head on one of the elevator spikes, to having Mosquitor kicking the crap out of him at the end! Hilarious!!
Again, thanks dan I get to admire your collection and hence remember my childhood toys. Thanks pal Dean Australia
I want one. I’d even buy some of the main cast figures including She Ra just to display them in it. That looks amazing.
God i love the fact that i can go back and watch these amazing videos ! I'm a new he man fan fell in love with it after Netflix of course but i had all the cool and rare ones as a kid but i was a tmnt kid
Boy, I just got warped back to 1986 when I used to play with my original Grayskull set. Great to see the new one! I really like the Classics series. It's targeted towards such a specific demographic. Kids today will never understand just how great we had it when it came to growing up in the 80s. Someone invent a Time Machine!
If money and space were not an issue, I would have collected this entire line. Shipping the figs to Canada became too much for me to handle. This is arguably the greatest figure line of all time.
What an amazing piece! I am not a MOTUC collector but this is such a beautiful piece! Great review Dan (this kinda wants me to start a MOTUC collection :D )
Still remember when my dad came home with the original. Love the review, thanks PD.
FANTASTIc review! The caslte is AMAZING! I can't wait to have mine. This is the centerpiece of the line. Way to go Mattel!
I would actually place the bronze variant King Grayskull figure where the space armor goes.
If I had this playset and the figures shown in the vid, I would never leave the house. Thank Sorceress I don't have enough money to buy it!!
Still watching this in 2021. What a heck of a playset!
This is too awesome.
#PixelDan unraveling the mysteries of *Castle Grayskull*
This really brings me back. Got the full original castle grayskull from my uncles who'd grown out of it. It's been used as an evil hideout for my villians many a time. Should still be in the attic somewhere.
It's amazing how He-Man STILL falls for that trap door. Smh
the man on the box is like it was cool having greyskull when i was a kid.its even better now i have it when im 40 🤣
Pixel dan you love playing with your action figures as much as the rest of us
Great review like always Dan. Can't wait to get my castle!
Great review as usual Dan!
Happy Thanksgiving Dan and Holy Cow this thing is so cool and huge!
I never had the castle Grey Skull and I wanted most of what they had with He Man & She Ra, this was so big back in the 80s I miss those times and now all those are worth a lot of money I am sure. We had best cartoons when I was a kid even the best toys and I think every 80s kid had fun with that whole collection. I miss those days when music, movies, and TV were fun to watch.
Awesome Castle playset! Best one so far! Great review! I enjoyed it so much! Brings me back to my childhood.Thank you!
Not sure which is more epic, the playset or the review. The jury will be out on that one for a long time. lol
Awesome all around and congratz to the Four Horsemen for this. They outdid truly themselves. Thanks for sharing PD! :D
Dan your reviews are always top-notch! Keep it up! Also, you have the coolest wardrobe.
I realllly hope the adult is the same kid as on the original box. that'd be fantastic!
Wow Megaman II T- Shirt and the castle Graysskull, I am loving it!!!
This is beautiful.
Ahhhh, my eyes burn at that 2002 Grayskull! Take it away! Take it away!
I love toys thanks pal for your reviews, they are fun to watch
A classic blast from the past, it never fails. My favorite part in the Grayskull set was the elevator, the first set that holds
manual mechanics in...... Well it's cool.
Wow! Great review and even greater Castle Greyskull.
Great episode Dan. I just love your enthusiasm for classic and new toys. It looked like you were going to cry tears of joy for a minute there. ^>^
Awesome I been watching your reviews for a long time and this by far is the best review of 2013 of the most awesome MOTU piece I've seen!!!!
Great video. Loved the comparison. flashbacks!
I must say that cover painting reminded me of when I got the original model all those years ago.
The gargoyle on window is also from the original playset, where I seem to remember it's function was to be an anchor which held the elevator.
It's mentioned very quickly in the review, tho to me it was huge back then - the computers and the suit were in the original playset, as flat paperboard models. The banners on the side of the throne was unhandy sticker(s) back then, I don't remember if there were 1 or 2.
PDan, this was great fun to view. Good stuff.
Now I want them to released the 2002 line and re-create that version of Castle Grayskull, but with this type of quality put into it
wow. i was hoping to just watch the first 10 mins but ended up watching the entire video. what an awesome review!!!
Wow has it really been 8 yrs since this Classic Grayskull came out ! I was stoked when I was able to get one sent to Australia and for a ripper deal too much less than the secondhand market. Found a toy store in Thailand that would ship it to me cheap. You look sooo young Dan (parenthood has matured you over the years) 😂
Dan, I was not aware of this this release *WOW*. Thanks for the video & all your reviews.
still have my original' s from the 80' s . this is incredibly neat .
I just got the vintage 2021 Castle Grayskull with Temple of Darkness Sorceress.
Great review Dan. Really detailed and this one felt really honest. All shortcomings were shown but it really is cool and i am looking forward to mine. Thanks guy.
Fantastic review and epic playset, well done, well done:)
Awesome playset, and great review! As always.
beautiful all the masters of the universe collection
The best Review of Grayskull i have seen so far
The floor piece with the hole for the stand should've extended out further to the other piece. Should have way more floor space, especially for the Wind Raider, combat trainer and the weapons rack.
this is so awesome. i love the extra floor pieces.
Amazing playset and amazing video!
Dan, you didn't catch (by mention) that the gargoyle deco above the second floor window was designed after the pull cord on the original elevator. ;-)
I was going to mention that myself. By the by, the window that it was placed over was never a full open window in the original. Great to see that it actually is open this time around.
Yer I racking my brain trying to think back to my oridganal one. I'm shaw elivator had a pull string cord. Cool. As I set my salf a goal. I am building castle gray skull outta Lego .but whant it to be same as the oridganal ..it whant be completed till then .
I had gotten my Castle Grayskull for Christmas and I love it. However, there is a problem I cannot get He-Man or any basic figure to sit on the throne. Is there anyone who can tell me a certain way you position them? Any input welcome
Nostalgic, love all the He Man toys. U did a gr8 job
Do you think we will ever get a Grayskull "Throne Room" Sorceress variant made especially for the castle and to sit in the throne? I know I would pick it up.
I would display it with my vintage motu figures. As kid I always thought the playsets were too small for the figures, so it seems to me this massive castle sits perfect for the vintage line. I bet this way vintage He-man and battle cat can finally fit through the jaw bridge 😁😁😁!!
I know that my Vintage Battle Armor He-Man can ride ride the Origins BattleCat.
IT'S BIG AND BEAUTIFUL!!
Love your reviews Dan... Even though I'm in my thirties I still love my toys
We're all in our thirties buying toys bro just be happy you can enjoy them
Dans in his thirties
The castle looks great. Haha Skeletor gets sent to the SHU at 31:55.
THE ULTIMATE MOTU PIECE!!!!
(there still a lot stuff than will be awesome to exist. but this is already the ultimate achivement.)
If they need anymore ideas for future figures, they should make that space suite into an actual articulated figure.
Thanks for the review...I had a vintage Castle Grayskull and loved it. T4H did a GREAT job with the modern classics one.
Anyone know if they're working on a Snake Mountain or Fright Zone?
Yes, a Snake Mountain please!
David C.
I bought this beauty a few years ago and now waiting for Snake Mountain.
You’re really good at this.
Probably the coolest play set ever
Wow that play set is huge and then figures I had no idea they was that big :O
love the review, love the castle.
By the Power of Grayskull! Superb review once again, Dan! It is a very impressive update of a playset that gave me so many great hours of fun when I was younger! The memories. :)
Hi there! Do the MOTUC have the Mattel word engraved somewhere in the toy? I have battle Cat and it does but i don't know about the figures for example He-Man, Skeletor o Merman. Could someone explain this to me, please?
Happy Thanksgiving all. Thanks for giving us this video today.
Simply amazing...hope mine comes soon.
Very cool. Can't wait go get mine. Great review.
Great video. Always top notch.
the box art is pretty awesome!
Love your shirt Dan
Awesome castle....I will get that one too...in the near future
The classic action figure "I'm going through a door" - I Loled
Looking at the silver pegs near the jaw bridge, I had thought the chains would go there. It'd probably look really cool there too.
