I got the original series Sy-Klone released in 1985 still in the packaging with the booklet in perfect condition dated 1983 and 1984 on the back. The artwork on the back brings back the 80's for me. He is rare in the packaging from the original series and he has the best features by far with his 'heroic fist-flinging tornado!
@TheLizardmonkey since these are for adult collectors and not children the spinning feature is pointless.the previous figures had the spinning feature because they were made for kids.all that matters in this line is how they display:)
@TheWCWite '200X' is the term used by most He-Man fans/toy collectors to label the period from 2002-2004/5 when the redesigned 'MOTU' figures and vehicles were released by Mattel - it also applies to immobile "staction" figures of remaining designs (such as The Evil Horde and more novel characters like Snout Spout) never released as Mattel toys. Mattel licensed NECA to release them.
Absolutely! These figures are brilliantly sculpted - and Mattel making its own ebay is a genius move - but there is little more than that which captures the interest or worth the extra money. NECA, for example, can produce highly detailed figures based on classic films with detailed features and props that cost just over half MOTUC figures. Mattel must be raking it in from these toys.
I have the original Sy-Klone still in the packaging perfect with the booklet! From 1985 in the original series! I also have Moss Man and Stinkor both from 1985 as well from the original series in the packaging both with the booklets but the top of the packaging on both is damaged. On the back of each one they are each dated twice, once each with 1983 and once each with 1984, but on the website it says that all of those particular characters were actually released in 1985.
The only reason I would've pick up Sy-Klone is for the original action feature after seeing this I'll save my money for something worthwhile. It's funny because with most toys I hate action features but this one in particular rocks. The second version of Sy-Klone is by far the best just wish they added more articulation he would've been a must buy had the FM done him 2000x style with action feature.
Loved the video. I do have a question for you in regards to the original 1984 figure. Did he have a hard plastic head or a soft, rubberized head? I never had a Sy-Klone back when I was a kid and I had heard some rumors that say that he had a hard head, and others that said he had a soft head, and I just needed some clarification on this.
The lack of a spinning feature is pretty much unforgiveable in a twenty dollar figure - and one collectors are paying twenty dollars for from the manufacturers and maybe more on the secondary market! Okay - there is articulation. However, what does that matter when the one thing that sold the figure in the 1980s and early 2000s was the spinning feature? The makers couldn't have incorporated that? We paid three to eight bucks for the spinning predecessors before - but twenty dollars for no spin?
I wish they'd sale these in stores, I mean c'mon already, re-release this series, even if it's a cheaper version of a card or something, just please do it, so fans can obtain these in stores as well.
same thing goes for Thunder Punch He-Man, it's like, are you kidding me? How is he supposed to have a "Thunder" punch with out a spring-loaded waist? Very lame, if they were true tributes to the throwbacks, they would incorporate their features. Has Ram Man been made yet? I'd like to see if he has the pop-up feature
His bio says he was Protector of the Legacy Stones, whatever they were, and that he joined the Masters after the stones were destroyed ( I'll repeat that-destroyed!) and his mission completed. Does this sound like a successful mission? Might he not be a bit of a liability? 😂😂😂 I think he joined them after he was, in fact, banished in disgrace from his position as the stones' 'ahem' protector!
@1dteyoung Well, sorry, I ain't buying that. Yes, there are adult collectors who simply want to display these figures - but they did Roboto's gears and Moss Man's fur/aroma. The Grayskull stands are available to pose the figures - the spinning feature should not have posed a problem. "We don't stop playing because we grow old - we grow old because we stop playing."

TheLizardmonkey spinning feature would have gotten old in two minutes.I'm glad they didn't put it in.you sound like you wanna play with this figure.that makes u creepy hahaha
i buried this figure in my yard in 1989..i have attempted finding it but i cant remember exactly where the spot is.....i was 7 years old
😢 the good thing is you still live there so you will find him eventually

He's always been my favorite character growing up
Thanks Pixel Dan for this great and awesome review, stay heavy and blessings 🤘
I love the 200x line. I wish the 200x were much taller and bulkier to match with my classics
Excellent Review Dan! Can't wait to get mine & Panthor! April is a good Month for Masters!
aww man i had the 2000x staction as a kid along with the 2000x roboto... two of the best toys i had as a kid...

My fav character!Being a Buddhist, when I saw the anwat gar episode, I was immediately drawn to this guy.
That's pretty cool! I just like the fact that he's a Gar

I wonder how the blade and the shield would look like on the same arm.
I just got on MOTU 2002-2003 SY-Clone and never open it.
He looks like he was born in the 80s aerobic class.
@boeingnz He's not one of the X-Men, this is a different Cyclone from the Classic Masters of The Universe line.
2:56 "Duh! Winning!" LOL
I would of gotten it but I really want Panthor more ..I possibly will get him when he is rereleased
This bruh was/is like,at the bottom of the food chain in popularity

He is a must for a MOTU cosplayer.

Mine had a hard head IIRC, but some characters had variants with both, so it's possible there were both (or that I'm misremembering)
Is he one of the X-men?
You can probablly hollow out the torso and put a motor in it to make it spin.
Nice love this figure one of my favorites good review pixel dan

Turn the gain down on your mic channel plz

Imagine Ken Watanabe as the voice of Sy-Klone.
Just picked him up for 20 dollars at a local toy show! Could not pass him up for the price!
If your struggling to get the weapons in a figures hand, then that's good news...
@TheLizardmonkey I have to agree. And the new battle armour he man and skeletor are a bit of a let down.
@TheWCWite 2000X = sometime in the 2000's

what the hell does buck mean?
buck is basically his chest piece.
The basic body sculpt template used for the figures.
@superfurrymanimal80 Yes, thanks! Don't even get me started on Scott Neitlich who runs the toy line as f he is doing fans a favour...
death not doom :)
I remember having the original and my jerk cousin throw him to my neighbor's back yard and the dog biting off one of the hands.
