MOTU Classics Fang Man Video Review by Pixel Dan

[air23cnhit]

Not a big deal to me, but did anyone notice the hour glasses on the Wheel of infinity are turned different than the hour glasses in the picture from the cartoon? The ones around the "8" on the inside. Not a big deal but funny the did it different. Overall a VERY good figure and can't wait to get him.

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

Ahhhh, I didn't even notice it. I didn't pay close attention to his hands cause I just assumed he was using the Demo-Man hands.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Like you said though, no big deal.

AMAZING review dan - definitely one of your best of all time

and i don't even want the figure! ...

whilst fang-man isn't for me (ive arranged to sell my subscription figure to someone who does want him) that review was absolutely fantastic ... flawless victory here dan

Aren't those Demo-Man hands?

Nope Demo Man has closed fingers

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, I'll be selling off my Fangman as soon as I get him. I have no interest in the character and I think he looks awful. Dan's review did nothing to win me over on him even a little.

Fang Man looks amazing, more Filmation figures please!

Sure, you can have more Filmation figures after they give me Rio-Blast, Sssssqueeze, Mantenna, Modulok, Tung Lashor, Extendar, and Dragstor. After those, I won't care what else they bring out because I will be done with the line.

"The ability to move his tongue around."

If I recall correctly, it wasn't consistent in the show; I seem to remember the hourglasses changing direction at times as the wheel turned (not an intentional thing, I think, just a glitch in the animation).

Really great figure! Can't wait to receive him, but I'm scared, as always, he will will have some fault here or there or a sloppy paintjob, as has been the case with almost all my figures the past few months. And I pay a lot for these figures including shipping.

Fang Man gets me even more excited for Filmation Icer, Batros, Kittrina, Evilseed, Madame Razz & Broom, Huntara, etc, just make sure the end product is perfect and worth $25/$27, so perfect paintjob, correct and firm joints, etc. We really expect that from an adult collector line for that kind of money Scott.

Plundor!

Seconded!!

Thirded!!!

Also I love Fang, more than I did the first time I saw him at SDCC. Can't wait for this guy - 100 times better than Netossa or RamMan (in my opinion!)

[DroothR]

I'm not as big into non-regular Filmation characters as many, but I appreciate what the Horsemen accomplished with Fangman, and I can't believe that anyone claiming to think that the figure isn't worth the listed is anything other than a troll.

[TJRules]

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 noticed this too. Kinda looks funny with his blue stomach showing a little...

Wow, thanks for the review, Dan. I feel like they borrowed money from other figures to include as much as they did on Fang Man from the extra articulated neck piece to all the accessories. I am still, however, not a fan of this character or his design. The Horsemen have once again done all that they could to merge this character into the Classics look with added details and textures but I still think it falls short because of the intrinsic nature of the design.

I'll be keeping the accessories, but Fang Man himself will definitely become fodder.

I'd like to see a side by side comparison photo of Fang Man and Draego Man. I imagine they are night and day.
