MOTU Classics Fang Man Video Review by Pixel Dan

[danielsan52]

Wow, I'm getting a lot of questions about the shade of blue and how it compares to other blue figures. You guys all planning to do some parts swapping?

I'll see if I can snap some pics of all the blue figures together tonight.

I think the blue Mer-Man head would look awesome on the scaly torso. Without the shirt and neckpiece, of course!

It's been a while since I watched the ep with the Wheel of Time in it, which Fang Man comes with...does it spin or anything in the episode, because if not, it doesn't match the toy. In the cartoon still he shows, the infinity symbol is perpendicular to the hourglass symbols, but the toy has it running parallel with them.

The name of the artifact is the Wheel of Infinity, and yes it does spin, faster and faster, while growing larger and larger in time, till it is big enough to destroy Castle Grayskull.

Looks awesome! I originally wasn't wild about this figure (I just don't remember the Filmation series that well is the problem). However, after seeing pics and watching Dan's video, now I can't wait!

[TJRules]

Great video, Dan! He's perfect! Can't wait to get him. And OTHER Filmation characters as well... hopefully.

I'm gonna try to put Faker's head on his torso! Maybe even Mosquitor's. How awesome would that be? Mosquitor's head does look a little scaly toward the back...

Thanks for the review! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS FIGURE!!!!! Such a cool looking character and long overdue for a figure!!!!

[Pixel Dan]

Per request, the Blue Man Group of Eternia!

Some comparisons for you. Fang Man's skin color seems closest to Keldor's.

Like a lot of figures that I had a lackluster first impression of, my opinion has turned around about Fang Man. I really like his head-sculpt and how it really separates him from the the other characters. I love his colors, and the accessories are just great. Especially that sword! I don't think it's Fang Man's, and I'll probably give it to someone else (Not sure who, yet). I think the only thing "cartoony" about him is his eyes, but otherwise, I feel he fits in quite well with the other evil warriors.

Thanks for the review,Dan. I'm really looking forward to this guy, now!

[Rodster6]

Why was it lackluster? Sure, Rammy got delayed, but we still got an awesome figure this month.

I didn't like it much.

[Grayskullian]

Awesome review!! Can't wait to add him to my collection!!

[Stratos*Major]

Great review, once again!

Fang Man is so freaking awesome! He's a great sculpt! He really brings in the element of cammpy goodness of the cartoon!!

[Berserker79]

One thing I want to know is the overall quality of the figure. Blastic anywhere?

Looks like the hands could fit on Keldor for a Skeletor mix & match figure...

[MARKTRON]

I think this is a cool figure, this is the first time have a Fangman and the mold is new, not another expensive repiant as we have 6 years again!.
The true is I`m a 200x fan and prefer my FANGMAN 200X Custom and weapon

ALL HAIL MOTUC FANGMAN!!!!

No noticeable signs of black plastic. Quality seems great on this guy.

[UTK007]

Fang Man is my most anticipated figure from 2013 so far. Octavia is going to be a close second, followed by Clamp Champ. Fang Man is simply amazing looking.

[tycondrius]

awesome vid Dan . I think I'm gonna pick this guy up when i get a chance and he's released. he looks awesome

[Broc Longstaff]

I posted this over on pixel-Dan.com as well, but thought I'd ask you guys here too

First I love this figure! Looks awesome! And as always great review Dan

However what's with his stomach showing? Why is the shirt too small? It's supposed to be a unitard type thing and look like it is connected under his belt. (Check the prototype and the cartoon)

Dan can you pull it down at all? The shirt at the bottom is all bunched up to look like the belt is holding it. It looks super weird the way it is now. Am I the only one who thinks it looks weird with this "belly shirt"?

I'm surprised no one is talking about the fact that we are getting a retooled boot with no pin holes now. Maybe I missed it posted somewhere else but I'm excited to have another boot that hopefully won't have loose ankles anymore.

[Count Marzo]

*like* *favorite* *retweet*

Man, Fang Man is near perfect! I love everything about him and he's not even in my top 10 Filmation wants. Those accessories, that color scheme, that sculpt...amazing! The only minor nitpick I have is where his neck piece fits on, if you look at him from the side there's a little bit of a gap there. I doubt many people will display him that way to see it so it's a very minor nitpick from me that's keeping him from being absolutely perfect!

[PlatinumFist]

The only thing I liked about this figure is the sword!

[Bonehead]

OMG! He's perfect.

**drools**

[chuc98]

Thank you for another great review Dan! This figure looks pretty awesome! I'm REALLY looking forward to him AND all of his accessories!

And a new right hand with the trigger finger... I wonder who will reuse this part??

[Mr_Yuck]

Great review. I can't say I'm excited for this figure, however I do have plans for those accessories. To me, the accessories really make this figure.

[RichieRich]

Fang Man looks fantastic! This is why I wanted FIlmation characters, not for Randor variant.

[Mad Scientist]

It looks awesome!
Anyone has any idea of what is the "Y" accessory for? Every time I see it makes me remember the bell to control the Dragon in the last Harry Potter movie!
