- #MOTU #GDL #GeekDadLife Join Jay as he opens up controversial Mattel Creations Exclusive Wun-Dar. It showed up to 3rd party retailers before it even was listed on Mattel Creations. Then the figure sold out in under 3 minutes once it was officially for sale. Was it worth all the stress and frustration? Whats this 4k review of one of the deepest cuts of MOTU fandom lore with the MOTU Origins Wun-Dar!

I'm one of many that were not able to get a Wun-Dar, but I am part of the few that are able to make our own!
Got my Wun-Dar yesterday, I love it!
Btw, Mattel needs to do a New Eternia Wun-Dar in the Masterverse line!
Great review. Makes me wanna pay evilbay prices for one cause it looks so good.
I heard Wun-Dar was difficult to get hold off as lots of people were ordering 3x when 1x is enough for anyone
A Self-fulfilling prophecy then? That's why when I saw three on the shelves at PowerCon, I only bought one.
@@SeansModelBuilds You are a good person, considerate of other collectors
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 what about other collectors who didn’t go , only we can get is if people sell on eBay
@@Charmander009 Wun-Dar was available to all on Mattel Creations, so that argument doesnt apply here. If people had got 1x only then there would be 2x more stock left over for others
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 Thank you saying that.
I didn't know you jam with Megajay retro? Cool!
Love Mega Jay!
You got yours 10 months ago? I literally just got mine
I got 2of them one to open and the other to keep in box
Anyone that has an extra Wun-dar to sell??
I hope they re release him…
Same!
Where's the bread?!?
Yeah I can’t believe they didn’t pack any with it
I wish they do another run of Wundar and Kol Darr.
Yep, this would allow the people that ordered 3x before to now own 6x
Scalpers would love it
Exclusives ?, more like Exclusions. Faker & Duplicat, Snake Mountain, Kol Darr and Wundar, Mattel would be wise to rerelease these items, the masses of fans like myself are POed about NOT being able to obtain these characters and accessories. The whole of the MOTU Fanbase would settle for '2nd Editions'. By refusing to make enough characters to go around, I myself am considering saying to hell with this and stop collecting MOTU figures.
And before anyone asks who this upstart aka [me] is, I'm a the guy who collected the entire '80's vintage series of characters, I spent the better part of 2.5 years looking for Faker, In 1987 I found a 2nd Edition. That's who I am.
Mine arrived today! I got it from eBay and had to make the process of import at Mexican customs (which was very swift I gotta say). Very pleased! Looks amazing (although the bubble arrived a bit damaged though)
Limit of 3??? Who could have foreseen this selling out so fast. 😑
They had limits of 5 and 10 before this, I don't think the limits were the problem.
I was there when Wun-Dar sold out; it was a dark day for MOTU fans everywhere. I was eventually able to track down one on eBay, thankfully.
@BlackPhoenix77 thank God for Ebay!😇🤗🙏👍
Update: our Kol Darr figures arrived and, unlike the Wun-Dar figures which arrived with slightly warped cards, Kol Darr shipped with a cardboard spacer in the top of the shipper box to keep the card from warping. Way to go Mattel!
Couldn’t find your email address, so I sent you pics of the Kol-Darr shipper with spacer to your Instagram DMs
It’s not just you, the cards on all 3 of the Wun Dar’s I received were varying degrees of warped/curled.
FYI - for anyone upset that I got 3 Wun Dars, only ONE is for me. The other two are for friends who were at work the day of ordering and I was the designated shopper. So, I don’t even have one to keep MOC and one to open … just my MOC fig, and that’s okay with me.
Im so happy I was able to get 3. Two my closest friends will be getting a nice Christmas gift!
Mine had the bent card, had tape around the clear plastic, and the right leg has tons of green dots for some odd reason. Oh well...
Yeaaah i just purchased this figure off a friend. Had to come back and re-watch this review 😆😎
You people don’t get it Mattel loves it that people are going crazy for this figure. They don’t need the money from mass producing this figure. They want to keep some figures legendary. It makes it more exciting. They know they can mass produce grizzlor and make more money than a limited run but they rather have all this hype and Fans talking about it
I just bought this figure from amazon last Wednesday n got it yesterday Monday im try build motu collection again
Nuts over brown hair he man but you think koldar is boring... I get the mystery behind the original but wun dar is weak...he was weak when he was a promotion in the 80s ...overrated
Haha thats fair, I guess I just have a thing for brunettes 😂
I skipped Wun Dar for sure, nothing special about a redo like this. But I do mainly just collect characters that appeared in the original cartoon anyway.
@@GeekDadLife Koldar is a brunette..jus sayin
I agree the brunette hair just look better to me 10 times. Mattel now needs to do a masterverse figure for the new Eternia line. I believe that will best figure as well for the masterverse line. Great video keep up the good work sir
If Mattel was smart they could make Wun-dar a stretch goal for the Eternity play set
Love that idea!
@@GeekDadLife Mattel needs to look at what Hasbro did with the Haslab Hisstank. The four exclusive figures made the $300 price point easer to swallow. If Eternia is over $500 than it should have at least 6 figures
It’s just as much of a nightmare to pick up as the original one! Definitely not a Blun-Dar though!
Excellent review Jay! He looks great! Congrats and thanks for sharing 😁👍
Brunette He-Man! 🤣. Now they need to release Ginger He-Man or Ginger Head Man
Wun-Dar is a great name especially when he could be called Mail-Away
Savage release for a savage He-Man. Props to Mattel for that. 😆
Awesome figure breakdown. Thanks for the review!
Sh*t you're right Grrrrraffe!
I missed out on Kol Darr though
have a custom I made will do me
I wanted 2 got 1... 😕
I prefer brunettes over blondes any day. Waiting on mine! Great review Jay!
Hi all
Hello there.
General Kenobi
I'm more interested in seeing your take on Powercon being decimated by Mattels decision to move all there reveals on over to SDCC. Powercon is trying so hard to build hype but I just don't see it. Lol
I was Wun-Darring if you ever got yours. Great video! 👍
I also got kol-darr two of them also
I am quite jealous
Did you just say "Blun-Dar"?! *chef's kiss*
The groans could be heard throughout internet land 🤣
@@GeekDadLife Dad. Joke. Life!
Also, no 40th sticker?
Title should be Geek Dad Goes to Bragging Camp. Still gets a 10/10.
Hahah do you need me to send you one my friend??
ue4 asing postproseing valume . I just want the fingers i don't even cair if the box looks different
Still pissed I wasn’t able to get this. Had no problems with Tri-Klops, Sun-Man or Kol-Darr (which based on various Facebook posts, I should be expecting mine to arrive pretty soon). Even got lucky with the Mysteries of Grayskull pack! It’s times like this where I wish I knew other people who were serious toy collectors that could have helped me out. I’m pretty much all alone in that regard unfortunately. 🫤
