www.popculturen... www.he-man.org Pixel Dan takes a look at the first Snakeman to hit the MOTU Classics toy line: King Hsss! Review sample provide by Mattel.
Great Review, kind of disappointed with the loose head but I'll still pick up two of them. I loved the vintage figure as a kid, so I'm glad to see him in the classics line, a lot a people don't like the multiple snakes but I always felt King Hsss used them to act as his Arms and legs to help make him look more human. I never thought of them as being attach and part of his body.
My Skeletor had a clear rubber band around his neck peg. Maybe you should try wrapping one around your King Hiss figure's neck peg. It would probably solve the bobble head problem.
I've got mixed feelings about this figure. On one hand, it's nice to finally see a King Hsss figure that does his snake form right. On the other, his more human form appears to be based off of a design that I can't say I've ever seen before.
Backwards shoulders on mine. You know I didn't pay $30 to get a figure with backwards arms. They better do something about this, or I will find a way to cancel my Club Eternia Membership. Good review though.
I am Adam, prince of eternia and defender of the secrets of castle grayskull. This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said "By the power of grayskull! I have the power!!" Cringer became the mighty battle cat and I became He-man: The most powerful man in the universe! Only three others share this secret; our friends The Sorceress, Man-at-arms, and Orko. Together we defend castle grayskull from the evil forces of skeletor. NO INTERRUPTION, MUTCH BETTER!
This review didn't age well did it? Even when it was made it was a terrible take. The snake torso was near universally criticized online except for reviewers who received free samples and non-fans who didn't care about King Hsss. Pixel Dan may have been happy with this vintage version, but the preferred version for at least half of the fans has become the 200x version.
I've never liked King Hisss in any form. Kobra Khan is great (technically long before the "Snake Men" became prevelent), Rattlor (vintage) was great, as was Tongue Lasher, but Squeeze sucks, and Snake-Face is barely passable. King Hisss
I never really liked King Hsss too much. His transformed state just always looked stupid; a bunch of snake heads on human legs? Come on! Well guess I'm stuck with it since I'm a club member.
Wow, I never new there was some hate for the 200X version. I thought he was terrifying in either form.
it all makes sense... the enormous chin, the smirk and the bobble....King hss is none other then JAY LENO!
i like the 200X King Hssss design
I can't wait to get this guy! I'm glad I'll have 2 to display both forms! Excellent Review Dan!
Bada Bing bada BAM!! This year looks gr8 so far. Gr8 job w/the review. Just wants me to pick'm up more.
Leaf a like!
HSSSSSSSSS

Sweet shirt!

Not a fan of the original design; I prefer the modern design, but it still a nice figure.
dude I have the original vintage one but I' m messing the man arms is very cool figure
very nice review dude
I love the Mosquitor Shirt!!!!!!
I wonder how the MOTU Origins version will look like.
Mosquitor!! LOL thats an awesome shirt!!
Interesting figure. Some nail hardener should tighten those pegs up a bit.
We need a Pixel Dan figure. Pixel-Dan - Heroic MOTUC Toy Reviewer :D

Ishtarru Really? To me he looks just like his Vintage Hsss.
@jrimme and when mattel are charging that amount of money for these figures they SHOULD have come up with somthing better then that...
I'm not digging the connection of torso to the lower half. They could have come up w/something a lot better than that.
Nice review pixel dan as always 5 stars. Can't wait to get king hsss. I think I'm going to order 3

Hssssss
Wasn't the name on the Original spelled "Hiss"?
Magicofamazer Yes it was!

@digioverlord Ain't that the truth.

How disappointing you didn't like his 2002 design......I hated his old human disguise apperance...make him look weak.

But, I wouldn't call him weak to his face
You spelled something wrong
