Toyguru talks Spikor

**Orko's Magic Hat** · May 4, 2012, 04:30pm

Spikor looks great!!! Im glad he seems to be darke than the prototype. I'm dying to see his bio!!!

**Berserker79** · May 4, 2012, 04:39pm

Toyguru looked way more relaxed in T-Shirt than in an office shirt

I think Spikor`ll look awesome in person, really cool, how they updated the trident. Looks like they vac-metallized the tridents...

No arm or leg articulation, thanks to the dress.

It does suck that there is no real articulation on Dana but I sill plan on getting her, it's likely to be the only Dana we ate ever going to get.

I guess any hope for a Janine figure is all but dead at this point.

Hasbro did the same thing with their most recent Slave Leia figure, and it was awesome. So i actually really like this idea.

Well yes and no. The leia had the sitting "statue" lower torso but also had a fully articulated action figure torso. The Zuul set has standing and sitting "statue" parts. Yes, I know, picky picky.

Is it really cheaper to tool and deco 4 new unique parts vs a retool forearm and trident? Hmmm....it boggles the mind.

Either way, I can't wait to get him!

If they keep going with SDCC exclusives and justify the occasional figure by using the figures to keep the copyright / licensing up date we may get a Janine yet. ( GB2 version please )

Excellent!

Really looking forward to Spikor.

Hope we get a similar video for Frosta. Really looking forward to her bio too - she's practically a completely clean slate. I hope it references her history with the Selkies (see "Black Snow" for an epic showdown) and doesn't make her out to be too much of an 'easy lay' (see "Sweet Bee's Home" for some He-maneating!!).

**Prahvus** · May 4, 2012, 06:08pm

The quality of this video was really horrible ! Once again, the "cameraman" (if we can even call him cameraman) has that low quality, blurry thing going...

There's no way we can see a thing properly in that video. I also laughed at the way TG shows VERY quickly the hand/trident accessories, and hurries to take them away so we can't see in detail. How childish and dumb...

I cannot stop wondering whether there are more problems coming with Spikor. If it is the case, this video would only exist for the sake of damage control...

Good to know the Trap Jaw and Hurricane Hordak parts will be able to be used on Spikor, though.

I cannot wait for Pixel Dan's preview of Spikor, but we need to see the Slushead preview and the (ugh !) Mighty Spector preview before...

I think you have a crush on Scott.

Yeesh buddy, he was just doin' a quick-'n-dirty video to show us the basics of how Spikor would work. It wasn't meant to be a detailed, full review with AWESOME video resolution. He doesn't need to do that 'cause people will be reviewing him later. Right now it was just a quick how-it-works video and nothing more.

Great video　

　
Thanks!!!

Cool video, thanks! SPikor looks awesome. The darker look to his skin tone looks much better. I don't mind the grainy, shaky footage. This just makes Pixel Dan's review much more anticipated, with much clearer, detailed footage and close-ups. I want to see Frosta before July, por favor!

**Agent Gibbs** · May 4, 2012, 07:25pm

Are they filming these videos on an iphone 3G with a 2mp lens?

any way it all looked good to me, spikor was awesome, Dana was what i'd have wanted as i can only imagine the ugly joints we'd have gotten for her, look at the job they did with Vinz/Louis and his "new" legs

**JonWes** · May 4, 2012, 07:31pm

Really excited about Spikor! One of my favorite figures from the vintage line. I like how the hand turned out and was created.

**NorthCoast** · May 4, 2012, 08:02pm

Spikor looks good! Seems like you could grab someone's phone and get a much better quality picture. Better than nothing, though.

either way I am happy they DIDN'T give Spikor the action feature, then again I am loving the fact that most of the action features were taken out so I can pose the figures now.

**Mern-Ra** · May 4, 2012, 08:24pm

Ok, we officially have interchangeable hands in MOTUC, which means Mattel should officially be ashamed of themselves for not yet giving us a He-Man that can hold his sword aloft. Seriously, it's embarrassing.

**Berserker79** · May 4, 2012, 08:46pm

I hope this figure is flawless...

My Fisto got 2 left shoulders...

Sure she has a hean/nect joint, but we both know thats almost always useless on figures with hair that long. At SDCC the prototype had a single cut joint at the shoulder that seam to have been eliminated from looking at the press release. I don't recall seeing any indication of leg articulation? That leaves a twist waste. My salt shaker has the same amount of moving parts! I could be wrong. You've seen these more up close then I have.

**BadVermin** · May 4, 2012, 09:19pm

At least the headline is accurate, this is better to listen to than watch (in blurry format with no good shots of the figures).

**Staff Of Ka** · May 4, 2012, 09:30pm

Dan,Have Kalamarr,Stinkor and Spector turned up yet?

**SCB** · May 4, 2012, 09:35pm

He reviewed Stinkor a few weeks ago.

**LORD FALLEN ELDOR** · May 4, 2012, 09:46pm

Abd didn't he also already review Spector back in April?

So who exactly is embarrassed by the MOTUC line?
