I am digging these retro figures! They take me back to my childhood! Back in '82, I got He-Man, Battle Cat, Castle Grayskull for Christmas; blew my mind! I got Prince Adam for my birthday 🎂 as a surprise! I've been down since day one and I appreciate and enjoy your reviews, brother!
I bought this figure yesterday here in the UK. I wasn't planning to. I actually collect the Mega Construx MotU range (which I love) but I saw Origins Trap Jaw and Evil Lyn in the comic shop and figured eh let's see what these are like so picked Trap Jaw (cos has more play features than Evil Lyn, plus I never owned a Trap Jaw figure and I have two MCX Evil Lyns AND her vintage figure as one of the vintage figures I grabbed in a car boot sale a while ago). And yeah he's pretty cool. Not sure if I will collect many Origins (I prefer MCX due to smaller size and cheaper cost) but he's a fun figure. I didn't realise these Origins figures can come apart almost as much as the MCX ones are designed to. That's neat. :) And while I may prefer the proportions and style of Classics, I never could afford those figures. Even with ThunderCats which is my fave toon ever, I'm struggling to afford much of those at all. So far only have Ultimate Lion-O and figuring out how to afford the big Mumm-Ra. Origins is a nice affordable range of MotU figures. Odd how they're actually cheaper than Super 7's version of the vintage figures (in the store Origins Trap Jaw was £16.99 while his super 7 vintage was £19.99 reduced in sale from £24.99) when Origins has way more articulation.
All my Pre-orders for wave 2 figs canceled by Walmart and Amazon. Being a toy collector these days whose fave line is MOTU is so cool. I get to see so many people on social media sites having a blast playing with, showing off, reviewing, etc. their new He-Man toys, while I practice the fine arts of spoiler-dodging, patience, anti-envy, etc. It ain’t easy, but some of us have to do it!
Love your videos! I'm 17 (18 on the 21st) and I just got Kronis and I really want trap jaw! I got into motu thanks to you Dan, so thank you for introducing me to such a welcoming and fun fandom!
Excellent figure, but the way Mattel painted the face spoils it. I just repainted his eyes and added the missing eyebrows, and it makes a world of difference. Gives him so much more personality.
Love this figure but something to note: his robot arm can move up and down (like to T pose is best way to describe it), it’s just very tight, thought the articulation wasn’t there until I pulled his arm off and moved in manually
@@xirtlem616 ya, looks pretty good on different ones, but the black piece on his right shoulder is moulded onto him so you can’t take that off like the 80s one
Be careful. The first run does not have that shoulder articulation. I guess they heard the complaints and added that function. Just a warning as I broke my first one thinking it would move up and down.
I HATE having to go to Walmart but BOY am I glad I had to go today! Found a few figures from that Wave 1 display and there were just enough left to get all six and they had 1 battle cat left in the toy aisle....I was STOKED!!!!!
great figure, it is worth noting that the neck peg is not the same as other figures it only has a swivel and no ballpeg joint when you pop the head off. I wonder if the upcoming Kronis figure will have the same ?
Trap jaw was my favorite He-man action figure as a kid. I remember a dream Christmas night that I was playing with the toy. When I woke up the next morning, the first present I opened was Trap Jaw. Maybe my parents gave it to me first on purpose. All I know is that's my most memorable Christmas ever. Merry Christmas! (true story)
PSA: There are two variants of this figure currently! One with additional robot arm shoulder articulation and one without. You can tell by a gap appearing in between the arm and torso when it’s in the package.
Gotta keep an eye out for this wave but it's nice not to have to stress because Mattel has impressed me with keeping these figs rolling out. Completed Wave 1 without issue.
Literally I quit collecting MOTU figures because it is plagued with resellers/scammers. It became what sneakers became, hungry people looking to make a quick buck overpricing the toys. I can’t find him at retail price. I feel like reselling has became worse and worse
@@drwho9319 i found these at at toy store in a mall...snatched them up like hot cakes!!! What was funny was some guy was with his wife explaining what Masters was all about. He went nuts when he saw them freshly sticked saying these are gonna sell immediately!!!! I moved in and grabbed every character i saw and he kept looking at me! He said wish he can buy them but his wife would hassle him on spending money! Oh well i was happy!
@@robd1329 lol those are motu origins. Those can be purchased on Amazon/eBay for cheap. They are not high value, resell barely profitable. I’m referring to motu classics (those were not in store, they were preorder online purchase only via Mattel subscription). Classics are overpriced via resell. Anyone can get origins, cheap quality. However the classics are high quality, collector items
Well done for saying "It works nicely/well", rather than; "It works nice/good" I appreciate the correct grammar when kids are watching and picking up your speech patterns! 👏
you can pop both arms off but the joint system for the robot arm is a little different then the regular ones it sits a little high then at the angle the normal body's have so it looks odd when you put one the normal arms onto his body also that black section isn't removable like on the vintage
My favourite toy growing up I had to get this one, that being said now I have to get more, also picked up skelator! Did his arm bend on the show? I don't think it did. I prefer the head on the vintage figure.
I'm wondering how well this line is actually selling. It would appear it's doing great, but if you factor out all the scalpers, of which there's literally hundreds on eBay, I think once the exclusive Wal-Mart contract ends, we'll be able to tell if they're really selling that well. I hope it doesn't take a nose dive once the figures are more readily available, because I'm enjoying what they're doing with the line so far.
I bet the eyes are a misinterpreted mistake made at the factory. They'll probably redo this when it's a non-walmart exclusive and go back to the original eyes.
I good place to check is Big Bad Toy Store, I don’t think you’ll ever see trapjaw on shelves again, however they restock him on bbts about once a month. He sells out quick though because of scalpers
So why does he have a cannon arm?.. what happened to his arm?..I do remember reading his face that skeletor rip his jaws off.that was how he got a metal mouth.
Yes, there is a 200X comic that shows his origin story, where he tried to overthrow Skeletor and was seriously injured in the process. Now Trap Jaw "loyally" serves Skeletor (although he is secretly plotting his revenge).
i cant find the figures at any walmart around me their all sold out and prices are going crazy on ebay is Walmart going to get more skysleds and more figures i did get he-man skletor and scare glow. i just dot want to pay a crap ton of money for the toys. me and my little brother want to collect them i just hope i will find more in store. i know you know alot about toys thanks
Put your email in for an alert once they come back in stock. I was able to snag a few figures and Castle Grayskull thanks to that feature. Just be patient and don't give in to Ebay. You'll be able to find them in time.
It’s not easy at all to collect MOC with this line. BBTS collector grade is the best bet. So many things can go wrong with these less than sturdy cards, and then there is scuffing on the bubble to worry about
Interesting if I remember correct in Trapjaw's original mini comic he crashes into Grayskull forcing He-man and Skeletor to team up to stop him last frame showed Skeletor carry away the body of Trapjaw
I don really like it, honestly. When I get mine, definitely gonna paint over it. Origins is still a really great toy line, it’s just that some of the head sculpts I wish were just the original ones (especially Mer-Man)
I really want to like these, I love the articulation and am ok that they are less detailed, it is a cheaper production after all. But those super bright colors make them look super cheap and off-putting to me.
That elbow articulation on its mechanical arm is such a great improvement over the original, too bad the claw attachment isn't articulated as well. Overall great sculpt except for the face.
Not true, they are very close to the vintage figures. I compared Trap Jaw side by side with his vintage figure, and they are nearly identical. Origins Trap Jaw's head is actually a bit wider/larger than the old one.
I was sort of warming up to the somewhat low effort faux-80s designs after He Man and Skeletor turned out okay but everyone else just looks kind of sad sitting next to every other $15 $20 figure line on the shelves right now since the paint looks so bad even when compared to the originals.
Going to say it again, I really hope Mattel uses these sculpts to do a Filmation line as well. Super 7 did an okay job but these sculpts would be better. Crossing my fingers.
I don't. His new eyes make him look expressionless, like a robot. The lack of eyebrows was also a mistake. His Classics eyes are way better, giving him much more personality.
Camera foolery. Get him in hand and you will see the face is not bland and and helmet is not pink. This new rendition of Trap Jaw is awesome...but again you have to have it in hand to appreciate it.
I do not agree. I just repainted Origins Trap Jaw's eyes and added eyebrows to match his Classics look, and it is a vast improvement. Gives him much more personality, and makes him look a lot crazier.
Trap Jaw and Scare Glow are definitely the two I want to find the most of this new wave of figures

Love the play features. Especially the accessories storage on the belt, really smart on Mattel's part
I'm just now noticed that the evil warriors are primarily blue.
Heroic ones in red details...
Cold or dark colours are usually given to villains (blue, purple, black)
Heroes usually have warm colours or flesh tones (red, brown, orange)

Good review, Dan. Trapjaw is my favorite character in the MOTU franchise. He's looking good here.
I remember the original came with a ring.
That would have been amazing if they did that again!!
Tri-Klops too, so there's still a chance...
Oh, yeah I remember that too; I have a Tricolops that came with one too.!
Thanks for that cool reminder! I forgot about that. They should have bright that back.
PSA: There are two variants of this figure currently! One with additional robot arm shoulder articulation and one without. You can tell by a gap appearing in between the arm and torso when it’s in the package.
My favorite Skeletor henchmen!
Mine is Blast Attack
I never had this figure, but I do remember it, and I saw this character in the 80’s cartoon, and the 2000x cartoon too.
I think trap jaw was just a cool figure
He has always been my fav figure for sure.
You have impeccable taste! 👌👍🏻
Just got into these and it's costing me a fortune lol!
Gotta keep an eye out for this wave but it's nice not to have to stress because Mattel has impressed me with keeping these figs rolling out. Completed Wave 1 without issue.
The robot arm also has outward shoulder movement. :)
Does it, i thought that could only be done on the new cartoon style origins Trap Jaw?

Im hooked. Can't wait to get this guy.
who doesn't love this guy?
Well done for saying "It works nicely/well", rather than; "It works nice/good"
I appreciate the correct grammar when kids are watching and picking up your speech patterns! 👏
Beautiful!! Thanks, Dan!!
Can you swap his mechanical arm out? Also, does the elbow bend the other direction allowing you to put a second mechanical arm on his left side?
you can pop both arms off but the joint system for the robot arm is a little different then the regular ones it sits a little high then at the angle the normal body's have so it looks odd when you put one the normal arms onto his body also that black section isn't removable like on the vintage
Does anyone know if the joints come off? This is the only figure PD hasn’t tried to remove the head, arms or torso from I believe.
Just got my Trap Jaw in the Mailbox today
Anybody else have the issue where their walmart stocks like 20- 25 he man and skeletor figures and just those two?
Its better than the vintage because of the elbow joint
Been looking for this for months
I wonder why they didn’t paint the eyebrows.
Never stop shaming Walmart, Dan. Corporations are not gods and we need to show them that.
My favourite toy growing up I had to get this one, that being said now I have to get more, also picked up skelator! Did his arm bend on the show? I don't think it did. I prefer the head on the vintage figure.
I used the zip line once. I barely remember, but I think it was a hassle.
Not that fond of the head sculpt. The "recent" Super7 one is the preferred one, in my opinion.
I love the updates to Trap Jaw. He's the best of Wave2, better than Scareglow imo, yes I said it.
It's a very monster-looking update. It kinda rocks! 👍
TRAP JAW IS FANTASTIC!!!
cant find that online all sold out

I bet the eyes are a misinterpreted mistake made at the factory. They'll probably redo this when it's a non-walmart exclusive and go back to the original eyes.
This looks cool.
I hope they make the other color version sometime down the road.
How do these go along with the Masters of the WWE action figures?
They fit in perfectly. MOTWWEU uses the same bodies, and share many of the accessories.
One of my favorite characters.
The head and face were better on the vintage figure. But I feel the body of the Origins piece is better.
Okay, but can you swap the robot arm to other figures? It'd be cool to make a cyborg skeletor or he man
The arm comes off, so it should fit like any of the other arms.
Pixel Dan I can’t even find any wave 1figures except He-Man n Skeletor at my Walmart
Scalpers and poor Walmart regulations/
Meaning you’ll need 4x the fund allocations!/
It’s so hard to find the original complete.
Just started collecting the origins stuff , do you know if Mattel will be re releasing figures from earlier waves ?
I need trap jaw .
I good place to check is Big Bad Toy Store, I don’t think you’ll ever see trapjaw on shelves again, however they restock him on bbts about once a month. He sells out quick though because of scalpers
Found trap jaw at my target including the rest of this wave! Hope you find it!
awesome figure 🙂👍
What happened to mandolran 30
Is the fun favorite 2024 the same?!
Do any of the classic or vintage attachment work with him? (also bummer no ring)
No. The hole in the weapon arm is a different size.
So why does he have a cannon arm?.. what happened to his arm?..I do remember reading his face that skeletor rip his jaws off.that was how he got a metal mouth.

Why can't I find this anywhere? I want to grab it but I'd rather not drop $30.
Should I get one?
Its only missing the elbrows
Mattel should have drawn eyebrows on the head, it makes a huge difference.
Agreed. The original/classics eyes also look much better imo, giving him a crazed stare.
It's interesting what they did with his eyes.
It makes him look more like a zombie, imo.
Interesting if I remember correct in Trapjaw's original mini comic he crashes into Grayskull forcing He-man and Skeletor to team up to stop him last frame showed Skeletor carry away the body of Trapjaw

Love it but hate the head and colors
Most of all of the packages shipped to Wally-World have been damaged.
I have one stashed for Hermione; I can't wait to give him to her!
can you give him the Kronis arm
Nice figure though I prefer the vintage
Oh noooo, Trap Jaw legs..! ;-)
I really want to like these, I love the articulation and am ok that they are less detailed, it is a cheaper production after all. But those super bright colors make them look super cheap and off-putting to me.
It's not too bad once you get used to it. It gives them more of a cartoon series vibe.
IT would be awesome if there was a different comic!!!
That elbow articulation on its mechanical arm is such a great improvement over the original, too bad the claw attachment isn't articulated as well. Overall great sculpt except for the face.
The head sculpts don’t entirely replicate the look of the vintage MOTU line. They are more rounded and squashed by comparison.
Not true, they are very close to the vintage figures. I compared Trap Jaw side by side with his vintage figure, and they are nearly identical. Origins Trap Jaw's head is actually a bit wider/larger than the old one.
I want it
I love the eye !
Looks great except for the face.. not liking it at all. the original was much much better. they should have just tried to make it closer to that one.
It's just the eye colour and lack of eyebrows that spoil it. The sculpt is actually very similar to the vintage figure.
I’m not a fan of the eyes. Just looks weird to me. Packaging and paint are awesome though!

I was sort of warming up to the somewhat low effort faux-80s designs after He Man and Skeletor turned out okay but everyone else just looks kind of sad sitting next to every other $15 $20 figure line on the shelves right now since the paint looks so bad even when compared to the originals.
Man. The green is so bright it burns through my retina
Don't like the head or helmet. Hopefully we get a better painted version somewhere down the line.
👌🌟🌟🌟🌟
The eyebrows need to painted...That is the biggest discrepancy from the original and classics versions...
Agreed. Repainted him myself, and I can attest that Trap Jaw's head sculpt looks a lot better with eyebrows and yellow eyes/black pupils.
I actually like the inverted eyes
Love the Origins line. No need for any further versions. Classics are terrible.
I actually love the new face/eyes and think they look better than the original.
Going to say it again, I really hope Mattel uses these sculpts to do a Filmation line as well. Super 7 did an okay job but these sculpts would be better. Crossing my fingers.
Those eyes! Terrifying!

@@Rocket1377 I see what you mean
I know this is based off the classic line but he should have come with the flyswatter too. Don't like the eyes or the bright colors.
The original looks the best.
Yup a other scareglow most of us won't get our hands on.
I don’t think they did a good job on his bland bright face
And wer people really asking for a pink helmet on trap Jaw
Camera foolery. Get him in hand and you will see the face is not bland and and helmet is not pink. This new rendition of Trap Jaw is awesome...but again you have to have it in hand to appreciate it.
Trap Jaw's helmet is not pink. It's just brighter than the old magenta version. Super7's Filmation Trap Jaw was more pink than this.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏
I don’t like the eyes. Which doesn’t surprise me as I don’t like any of the faces on these Origins figures.
They missed his eyebrows off, that would have made him look slightly better
No ad crunch though, that sucks
Ab crunch articulation is completely unnecessary.
I never thought about it until this new figure, but the old eyes make him look like a doofus. The new eyes are much more menacing.
I do not agree. I just repainted Origins Trap Jaw's eyes and added eyebrows to match his Classics look, and it is a vast improvement. Gives him much more personality, and makes him look a lot crazier.
