i remember getting the she ra toy when i was little and hating the hair, moulded would have been much better back then. obvs my dad and brother mocked me relentlessly for playing with a doll . didnt care
I hope in the future we'll get another She-Ra head that's closer to the filmation look. They're including vintage heads with the He-man and Skeletor battle damaged figures, so fingers crossed.
The gold on the retail version does look a tiny bit lighter than the exclusive version, but it looks like it wouldn’t be noticeable in most circumstances. It’s a nice figure, and the hair being a nice pliable plastic is a nice touch. It looks like it could use some customizing for the gold trim on the outfit to match the vintage version a bit more.
I do prefer this She-Ra, I like the plastic hair and she had a nice more natural looking face. I would like to see Catra, Frosta, Glimmer in this line with plastic hair too
4:18 what are you talking about? It totally makes sense for the shield to be sideways when she's holding it arm straight down. When she raises her arm for battle the shield will go from sideways to straight up. I mean it's your taste and opinion and I can respect that... but as much as I rag on Mattel, they got the shield positioning just right. EDIT: take a look at the card art to see what I'm saying.
This is a must get for me. It's just a good looking figure! Gotta thank you for exposing me to so much cool stuff through your videos! I just bought a Thrashor and a Zoloworld figure because your reviews showed how wicked those are.
I've mixed feelings about the rooted hair - in one hand, I'm relieved that the retail version has plastic hair, since like you I can't style the rooted hair to save my life - but in the other, considering these are supposed to be all about vintage style, I'm kind of bummed that we're not getting that, _or_ the proper She-Ra cardback!
I can save my money on this one, since I already have a Super7 one. Besides, that weird headdress thing has always looked awkward and terrible to me. It seems with this one, it's same mistakes, new figure. Super7 have been the only ones to get her right, and Mattel had to sweep the rug out from under them as soon as MOTU started gaining popularity again.
It would be nice if it looked more like the original cartoon version of She-Ra. I will still buy one if I can find it in the store. I hope they will release all of the other She-Ra characters like they did with the MOTU Classics series. I also hope that Mattel with release all the characters that were in the original toy line, the She-Ra toy line, the New Adventures of He-Man toy line, the MOTU Classics toy line, and, on top of all that, I hope they will make many new characters too.
I prefer the Powercon She-Ra. The way her eyes and eyebrows are painted is nicer, and the plastic yellow hair on the regular release is too bright. It needed to be darker, or at least have a paint wash to bring out the detail.
The head sculpts are the same. It's the paint, and the finish of the plastic that is different. Powercon She-ra has a matte finish, and fancier paint. Retail She-ra has a glossy finish, and simpler paint. But the sculpt is the same.
Walmart has not gotten in anything new, they haven't stocked other waves at all, at least in my area (Pennsylvania). It's a shame they fail at every turn. Would be cool to see something else than He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Man-At-Arms, Evil-Lyn & Beast Man. Now my store is down to He-Man, Skelly, Evil-Lyn & Teela. Where's Panthor ??
If theyre making the cartoon filmation inspire figures for the new wave they must make a new she ra inspired by the cartoon with the white skirt short tiara mask and shorter cape.
Hi Dan, why is the toy different from the animation? Will mattel release a filmation accurate she-ra in the origins line? I think the animation looks so much better
The plastic hair just looks awful to me. Personally I think they should have made it a carbon copy of the 80s figure with soft goods and rooted hair, while adding the new articulation. Like He-Man had. It's such a shame that on the rare occasion we do get She-Ra these days that she's almost always a significantly lower quality than anything produced for the He-Man and so ridiculously difficult to acquire on top.
I was hoping to see Origins She-Ra compared to Classics She-Ra. When did Pixel Dan stopping do "comparison time" with the Origins and Classics figures?
I want this so bad!! It's so similar to the one I had as a kid but made so much better. The only minor complaint I have is I prefer the gold accents of the original, and Super 7 better. But I'm all about that sculpted hair 💜💙💜
i hunted down a recently released Origins She-ra where the face is painted alot closer to the rooted hair Power Con version. I think it is a huge improvement over the face paint on the initial releases. I don't mind the plastic hair. I just didn't like the original face. She looked like she just drank two Redbulls after being out drinking all night LOL
I'm torn. I prordered the powercon she-ra before the mainline one was announced, and then i figured they'd at least be different apart from the head and packaging. I'm going to keep my powercon she-ra I think, (it hasnt even arrived yet) but if this review had come out before I had put in my preorder... I think I would have passed.
So glad I canceled my power con preorder once I saw they were releasing her separate and they wouldn't explain what the difference would be. I'm glad I didnt pay that much for basically the exact same figure that i could get for 14.99.
The Power Con She-Ra just don't seem very special... The Rooted Hair is nice, but without the Metallic Gold Paint I'm not sure she was worth the extra cost.
Retail origins looks the best, more grown woman, badass warrior action figure. The “real” hair will get messed up over time like the old girl’s toys dolls and she ra....
I sure wish distribution in the U.S. wasn't so poor. Retail stores aren't stocking wave 2 and any time it pops up on Walmart's site it's only up for a few seconds.
Omg I needed to see this had the original 80s version this is totally different from 80s this looks like has stickers 😳 one word don't like the child in me is not drooling I actually showed her off at school when I was little my Christmas present but this sucks sorry and the hair you can't comb the hair is for kids I know adults like them as well but looks cheap and the the one I got had had totally different skirt.
The original She-Ra looks the best in the lineup comparison. Maybe they need to get a separate team to do a She-Ra origins series who are more understanding of the overall design sense of that original line.
The thing that bothered me mostly was the fact that they didn't put in her torso a fake transparent gem like they did with the classic one.Its like they wanted to cut out stuff for a cheaper pricetag,it was something that i don't think that would raise the cost that much and looks even more closer the retro one!

Just order the “As seen on tv” version.

I like the retail version better, the power con stuff was way to expensive. $15 bucks sounds good to me.
I really hope we will see, in this toyline, Swiftwind and Mantisaur 🤩
I wish you showed She Ra without he dress outfit AND next to Evil Lyn and Teela.
It's funny that only Super 7 She-Ra really looks like She-Ra
Wow that She-ra on the back artwork is super sexy.
Hehe yup
She's 16
@@Relichunters01 WTF are you talking about? No she isn't .
@@Youcannotfalter just looked it up, I was off by two years
I do prefer this She-Ra, I like the plastic hair and she had a nice more natural looking face. I would like to see Catra, Frosta, Glimmer in this line with plastic hair too
Yes . Some one wit a brain . This is a great figure . The powercon one is a fukin doll
Super 7 really needs to do figures of Scorpia and Shadow Weaver….figures now other line is touching. I would get those.
The eyes on the PowerCon version look SO much better....which really makes her face look a whole lot better than the retail version.

Good man good man
The PowerCon version has thiner printing around the eye which looks nicer
I still think the vintage looks better but over all a nice She-Ra.
I like the Head Sculpt, You could probably make a good Daenerys out of it.
I would like to have a She Ra with the Filmation look.
Wave3?? Hell I need Teela and Evilyn to finish wave one and I have yet to see a wave 2
Right? I got lucky I got mine when I did. Because, now, all I see in stores are He-Man, Skeletor and Battle Cat.
I’ve found all of wave 1, but nothing from wave 2 yet. It’ll be nice when other retailers can sell them, Walmart’s really dropping the ball
We will probably get an Adora horde captain outfit with a swifty if they do one
Axe comb: hacking at your enemies have never been so stylish 😆
Pixel Dan -I need to help you put your vintage She-Ra cape on right! You don't have it situated on your She-Ra the right way :D
Got this figure today and absolutely love it 👍🏻
I've mixed feelings about the rooted hair - in one hand, I'm relieved that the retail version has plastic hair, since like you I can't style the rooted hair to save my life - but in the other, considering these are supposed to be all about vintage style, I'm kind of bummed that we're not getting that, _or_ the proper She-Ra cardback!

I like the Super7 She-Ra the best as well. I will still get the retail origins one though when I see it in stores.
I have the 80s version of She-Ra. I don't have any of the newer figures.
The vintage has the best face sculp of the 4 when they were side by side.
Hopefully catra and horde members be interesting how they gonna do modulok
Shadow Weaver!
I wonder if Mattel will do different heads for her like they are doing for He-Man and Skeletor
I really hope we finally get a Melaktha figure in Origins. He was prominent in the cartoon and didn't even have a toy in classics
Thank you thank you thank you
There's definitely room in the line for an Adora figure being packaged with a convertible Swiftwind.
Early pictures of the retail release (such as the promo pics for Grayskull) made the gold pieces look _much_ more yellow than the final product.
Yeah, I was kicking myself for not getting the exclusive after the fact but I’m totally okay with this retail version.
It would be nice if it looked more like the original cartoon version of She-Ra. I will still buy one if I can find it in the store.
I hope they will release all of the other She-Ra characters like they did with the MOTU Classics series.

That will probably be a later released version of her. When they get to making repaints and alternate versions of he-man and skeletor.
I'd like to know if the hair is removable, so I can make a wig to her and I also would like to add painted eyelashes to this version.
I prefer the Powercon She-Ra. The way her eyes and eyebrows are painted is nicer, and the plastic yellow hair on the regular release is too bright. It needed to be darker, or at least have a paint wash to bring out the detail.

This is the She-Ra that should've been released in the 80's!
I'm guessing stratos ninjor and the battlearmors in wave 4
I would love to see an alternate take on Bow in a MOTU style build.
I'm thinking I might use retail as Adora and Power-Con as She-Ra.
Cute. ;)

Compromising the quality of the figure by going cheap on the hair seems like a pretty stupid decision. I don't get it.
If theyre making the cartoon filmation inspire figures for the new wave they must make a new she ra inspired by the cartoon with the white skirt short tiara mask and shorter cape.
Love the artwork. The mini-comic that came with my She-Ra had no lettering.
Hi Dan, why is the toy different from the animation? Will mattel release a filmation accurate she-ra in the origins line? I think the animation looks so much better
I still have my old vintage She-ra doll with the rooted hair . The new one is good too.😄
I prefer the rooted hair figure but since I missed this Power-Con version I will get the cheaper one in retail...if... I can find it.
That thing is hideous. Glad I always check your reviews first
I missed out on this figure, so I'm hoping for a reissue with the new knees
I finally have my Origins She Ra along with Roboto
I never realized you could flip over her mask until i bought this for my daughter and she did it 😄

it might be just the perspective but the retail sword looks longer than the PowerCon one in the video
I like all of the She-ras. Will be getting this.
I like the trick with SheRa headpiece. The mask I feel better suits the duel identity better than Heman.
I like both Versions. I preorderd the Exclusive-SHE-RA and I will buy the other too.
I want this so bad!! It's so similar to the one I had as a kid but made so much better. The only minor complaint I have is I prefer the gold accents of the original, and Super 7 better. But I'm all about that sculpted hair 💜💙💜
The belt in my She-Ra toy doesn’t come of as easily. It’s as if they snapped in on it’s designed to stay like that. My toy is a U.S. release.

I still can’t find wave 2 yet!!
Or wave 1 :(
How neat, now they should put Gleedel in the toys
Great review. I was expecting more differences between the retail version and Power Con exclusive. The She-Ra figure is ok enough imo.
I do like the rooted hair version better
I want the powercon one def best of the 2 I got the retail
I prefer the face on the retail but the rooted hair of the con version
Bow next! Please! Please! Please!
The Power Con She-Ra just don't seem very special... The Rooted Hair is nice, but without the Metallic Gold Paint I'm not sure she was worth the extra cost.
Great video!
I bought her and just bought a second one. Just waitin gfor the Power-Con one :)

The line is only exclusive to Wal-Mart for 2020. Next year it should be much easier to find these.
I hate the cloth goods parts but as a fan of MOTU, He-Man and She-Ra ill buy it
I hope they release pop with rooted hair with vintage card
Omg I needed to see this had the original 80s version this is totally different from 80s this looks like has stickers 😳 one word don't like the child in me is not drooling I actually showed her off at school when I was little my Christmas present but this sucks sorry and the hair you can't comb the hair is for kids I know adults like them as well but looks cheap and the the one I got had had totally different skirt.
Looks amazing! Can’t wait for this release.
The Super 7 one is definitely the best Shera since it look closer to the filmation animation and is an action figure. The other ones look like dolls
100%....this is just a doll. Super 7 looks the part as she-ra is remembered. But to each his own.....
Skeleton needs an Axe Comb
The original She-Ra looks the best in the lineup comparison. Maybe they need to get a separate team to do a She-Ra origins series who are more understanding of the overall design sense of that original line.
Vintage is always the best
I just got the toy today
The skin tone doesn't match the head on the Powercon version. The retail matches more
I like the masters of the universe origins She-Ra
This ones an action figure the other one's a doll it has rooted hair. I watch a lot of SpectorCreative. 😁
The regular hair figure looks better and actually reminds me of Julia Styles.
>SIGH< Shields with handles. Wish they'd done that with MOTU Classics, instead of the paint-scraping clips they used.
This is a She-Ra figure I would like to buy.
I like the hair.
Not bad for 15$...the other was 40$ but it did have the amazing packaging. That's about it
She Ra gets cloth goods and multiple accessories meanwhile Scare Glow got that crappy plastic cape 😒
I wish She-ra had a plastic cape. Molded rubber looks so much better to me.
I love it!!!!
It's a shame that the WWEternia figures each have specific comics but the MOTU only seem to have one per wave. Needs more comics.
The wwe eternia is just a 2 page comic . This one is like 8 pages . Can u count moron ?
How are you Dan? I'm glad you're back. Best of health. Always!
Her face is very shiny. Hopefully it looks better in normal lighting.
I'm excited to get this one 😀
Hate the knees
The thing that bothered me mostly was the fact that they didn't put in her torso a fake transparent gem like they did with the classic one.Its like they wanted to cut out stuff for a cheaper pricetag,it was something that i don't think that would raise the cost that much and looks even more closer the retro one!
I like the retail one better.
I haven't seen any MOTU Origins wave 2 in my local Walmart. Disappointing.
