00:00copycats always have a hard time keeping their secrets. here's a look at the Mattel
00:04He-Man and the Master Universe cartoon collection faker evil robot of Skeletor
00:20this Master Universe origins faker action figure from the cartoon collection
00:24is inspired by the original He-Man the Master Universe TV series from the 80s
00:27the He-Man imitator is designed with a vintage look at 5.5 inch scale but with
00:32the modern posability of 16 movable joints this motu toy faker is inspired
00:36by the shaping staff episode and has glowing eyes and a power sword
00:39accessory okay who in here wants to be evil oh seems like the eyes have it
00:44before that we get a closer look at the cartoon collection faker why don't we
00:47take first the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands if you're
00:50expecting smurf blue faker to be appearing in the cartoons actually no
00:54He-Man actually had an imposter but the imposter looked exactly like him other
00:57than glowing eyes which were basically essentially getting right here if we're
01:01looking though with the tape measure he's clocking in at the exact same size
01:04as He-Man at basically five and a quarter inches in height or about 14 and
01:09a half centimeters tall here's what he looks like with the original cartoon
01:12collection He-Man you may be looking at this and also think yourself well why
01:15waste the time to buy a second figure that's essentially just He-Man with
01:18glowing eyes there's there's more to discuss there's a lot more to discuss
01:22here's also what the figure looks like with the man that created him here's
01:25what he looks like obviously with Skeletor we're gonna bring in some of
01:28the other cartoon collection fakers there's Merman other figures there's
01:31Merman there's Trap Jaw here over here is Beastman over here of course is
01:35Triclops and even though he doesn't appear in the episode looking like this
01:38here's what the figure looks like with blue skin faker from the origins line
01:41okay magic storyteller what comes in clue with faker so glad you asked first
01:46the figure does come in clue with the paper pamphlets what's on the pamphlet
01:49you already know by now all it basically tells you is that all the
01:52parts that are in gray for faker can be removed can be mixed and swapped around
01:55with other origins figures or cartoon collection figures like we've
01:59established that I'm sure already in several reviews off to the recycling bag
02:03I'll just hit me in the face off the recycling bag eventually it'll go
02:06something also that gets carbon copied over he's not the only duplicated figure
02:10he also comes with a duplicated minicomic this is on slot to Snake
02:14Mountain and if you've probably seen this minicomic before that's because
02:17we've already had a look at this minicomic when it came included with
02:20leech I'm sure again we'll see this comic when we eventually look at Katra
02:23Katra which we will be looking at I haven't yet picked up Katra but I know
02:27with the way that I am I'm gonna probably try to track down ever especially
02:30Katra Katra such a cool character she also comes in clue with their little
02:33transformed cats very excited for that looking though quickly through the
02:38minicomic real blast is actually in here as well even though he's not really part
02:42of the cartoon collection at least of the line that Mattel is doing right now
02:44but we have looked at the origins version of real blast I hope that you
02:47guys have checked out that review whore troopers over all the side here as well
02:51the freight zone like to look at the freight zone I think it's already now
02:54been announced that Mattel is gonna be putting out a freight zone can't wait
02:57for that yeah there's a lot of good stuff going on in here I still don't
03:01know if I love the animation style of what they're drawing especially He-Man
03:04He-Man always what really looks jank to me
03:06Skeletor looks cool though and then I guess cool Skeletor is all that really
03:09matters but that's minicomic I'm not gonna I'm not gonna discard that one I'm
03:12gonna put it off to the side now faker here actually is pulled from the episode
03:16the shaping staff which is like episode it's like episode 19 of season 1 we did
03:21in fact get ourselves a shaping staff that became include I believe with evil
03:25Lin so if you didn't want to really have a faker for example being displayed with
03:29the shaping staff you could technically use the one get bored over from evil in
03:32just having displayed with that instead what unfortunately though isn't being
03:36currently displayed with He-Man is the power sword now you probably think
03:40yourself well the figure should come with a power sword yeah you know what
03:43what's interesting don't I even went back and rewatched all my opening end of
03:48the video where I was taking the packaging all and took the figure all
03:50removed if you look at actually the clamshell faker would be sitting right
03:54around here the alternate head sculpt would be right around here and if you're
03:57looking at here there's also an indentation that would suggest the idea
04:00that faker would have come in clear with a power sword I've actually seen other
04:04reviews of faker and it seems to be the case that he has a power sword and yet
04:08mine doesn't then you can kind of go back if you want rewatch the beginning
04:12of this video I don't think faker ever at least for mine ever came in clear
04:15with the power sword so I missed for that already I mean one thing I can
04:19always really do is that we already have two versions of the power sword one from
04:22He-Man one from Prince Adam so again I could probably just easily display
04:26either one of those displayed with faker here but yeah a little disappointed a
04:30little disappointed that the figure didn't come included with a power sword
04:33one thing though it's interesting though and I'm gonna see myself probably end up
04:37buying a second faker and you're probably already thinking yourself all
04:39that humbled reviewer what we're up to that point with you right now but I
04:44don't know I don't know how committed we are to the idea that why would you want
04:47to go and buy a second figure when essentially it's a carbon copy to
04:50another He-Man well first of all let me just put your worries at ease I would
04:54want to probably first of all get a faker now to get a power sword obviously
04:57because all this one doesn't have it but there's another reason there's another
05:00reason why I could see myself invested to get another faker now while obviously
05:04looking at that you may think to yourself well he's gonna just be really
05:07the body of this He-Man which is the tweak of the face well the face is first
05:11of all different not only does he have the glowing eyes but his body is also
05:15different as well wait no it's not it is it is you know see what I see what I
05:20mean in a second I'm actually just put this He-Man down here for a second and
05:23probably now that I've said that you're probably gonna be looking at this guy
05:26you're gonna be looking at this guy look at looking back and forth you're
05:29probably responding it for yourself right now now faker does come include an
05:32altered head sculpt not really quite a smiling He-Man kind of more of a
05:37determined more of an angry looking He-Man the original He-Man never had
05:40this figure or this head sculpt included so really yeah you could use this head
05:44sculpt for that figure over there or of course you can always just really swap
05:48this head sculpt so let's say you never got the chance to pick up this He-Man
05:51originally and you want this He-Man instead this faker He-Man to be a
05:54regular version of him you could probably just use this head sculpt
05:57instead save yourself the time save yourself obviously the budget of
06:01spending to buy another figure just buy one faker and essentially you have
06:04yourself already a He-Man so to look at this He-Man already this faking He-Man
06:09one thing it's very ever apparent is the fact he's got glowing eyes that's
06:12probably again like the telltale sign that something ain't right about Prince
06:15Adam here the glowing eyes is obviously one thing that's now been changed but
06:19it's also a different head sculpt too if you were to look at the two heads the
06:22hair is also one thing that's very much changed he had a much brighter yellower
06:26hair on the original He-Man now new faker He-Man has a kind of more darker
06:29gold hair the body torsos seem the same as well as so is the arms as well as the
06:36bracers down below if you spin around the back of the figure he also seems to
06:39have a completely different shaped power sword sheath so right now like for
06:44example if I had myself a power sword which I have two of them grab the power
06:48sword from whether it's He-Man or Prince Adam not that it really matters you can
06:52sheath the power sword on the back of his body the same way as this He-Man the
06:56placement of the sheath not only being smaller but it's also higher up onto his
06:59bandolier so I first of all I think it's much better improvement than the
07:03original He-Man that we've gotten just a cleaner looking sheath nice nice nice
07:07looking sheath but also if you look at the coloring of the plastic the coloring
07:11not only is brighter on the on the faker He-Man but also you can see like the He-Man
07:15crest is a little bit redder as well could help it also notice too that
07:19the skin is different this faker He-Man has a little more of a tan to his skin
07:23there's a little more of a sheen to as well the loincloth looks to be identical
07:27although now he's got himself a much darker gold belt this other original
07:31He-Man had a little lighter belt but the biggest changes the more closer cartoon
07:35changes is that he actually has now accurate boots I never really realized
07:40that when I looked at the first He-Man that his boots are actually a little bit
07:43more like the toy line where you can see that they're wrapped up on the front if
07:45you go and watch the cartoons again He-Man actually had smoother boots so he
07:50really should have actually had these boots the whole time and not these ones
07:53here the Browns look a lot nicer though to the cartoon it certainly it seems a
07:57lot more cartoon accurate is this one here so what's so funny about saying
08:01that is even though he's the imposter He-Man he ends up being a better looking
08:05He-Man just by the changes that they've now made again like if you're looking at
08:09the two I mean it'd be so quick to look at them and just dismiss this guy
08:12altogether but you know there's merits now to be made for maybe why you want
08:16to invest in getting a faker when you probably just looked at this and thought
08:18this guy's just gonna be using a same mold before now there's changes here
08:23there's obviously changes here on the back of the guard of the holder here and
08:26the coloring of the plastic I think work a little bit better so if you don't like
08:29this head sculpt obviously you can either well first of all we can pop off
08:32the head the glowing eyes faker and just for this obviously I'll show you guys
08:36what it looks like with this version of He-Man's head just pop that off as well
08:39so let's pop on this He-Man you can already see like the skin color isn't
08:45quite right so like he's got a little bit more of a darker complexion I'd
08:49almost even really say that he's a little bit more closer in colors to like
08:52Prince Adam like Prince Adam though it was a little lighter of a color as well
08:55but like the arms the arms one thing I will say though is that the arms don't
08:59seem to be quite the same color as his torso so like if you're looking at him
09:03right now it seems to have almost like three different colors of plastic
09:05different from his head different from his arms and different from his torso
09:09and of course if you didn't want to use this necessarily this head sculpt we'll
09:13just pop this one off and replace it with the alternate which again gives us
09:18now a more darker gold so it's not quite the yellow of the original original He-
09:22Man and again if you want an angrier expression or more determined look for
09:25He-Man you know what again like this one I will I'm gonna say right away I'm
09:30really happy that I got myself a faker I really just wanted to get it because it
09:33was a faker that I can now add to my collection because faker appeared
09:36obviously in the cartoon episodes at least the one specific cartoon episode
09:39but yeah you know the more I look at this the more I think it just seems to
09:42be a more superior body from the original He-Man especially if you want
09:45the cartoon accurate boots now for the figures articulation let's go ahead and
09:49just unsheathe the sword by the power of greyskull which put off to the side
09:52for fakers head is gonna be essentially working on still that ball joint so the
09:57head's gonna rotate all the way around whether you want to use this head or you
09:59again want to be line it back to the glowing eyes it's gonna look down it's
10:03gonna look up you can also move it back and forth as well the waist rotates all
10:07the way around while still the arms can also rotate all the way around this way
10:10you can get a t-pose going here for faker He-Man he's got a single hinge in
10:15the elbow that allows the forum to rotate all the way around and you can
10:18rotate also the hands all the way around as well legs split out the ball
10:23joints there as well you can move the legs forward you can move the legs back
10:26there's a spool at the top of the thigh single hinge only for the knee yet the
10:30lower leg also does rotate back and forth you can rotate yeah the new
10:33cartoon accurate boots all the way around and as for his ankles not only do
10:37they hinge up and down yeah would you believe they also rock back and forth as
10:40well you know again like first initially looking at this figure I thought to
10:44myself oh I'm disappointed already that Mattel chose to leave the sword off it
10:48must have just as they were packing the figure of the sword even though again
10:51like it's list it's showing clearly as an indentation here for the interior
10:55clamshell yeah unfortunately though my faker never included a power sword no
10:59harm no foul I mean I got two power swords anyways from both Prince Adam and
11:03He-Man so I can easily use one of those so when I got this guy the packaging I
11:07was already disappointed okay he doesn't have the power sword probably gonna have
11:10to get myself another faker anyways because not only can I make use of two
11:13different head sculpts but then I can get myself the extra power sword the
11:16more though I look at that and the more I look at the original He-Man that we
11:19got just go ahead pop his head back in place yeah you start to see the
11:24comparisons between the two figures and again it's so it's so funny to say this
11:28the irony in all in saying this is that the faker copycat He-Man ends up doing
11:33He-Man better than the original He-Man we got from Mattel before he may have
11:37started as a faking He-Man but now he's the real deal I've got him displayed as
11:41he's rotating on the rotisserie yeah you know with the changes that Mattel's now
11:45made for sort of version 2 He-Man or the faking He-Man he actually ends up
11:49being the better looking mold of the two now I suppose though as a customizer you
11:53know if you don't do like the darker skin obviously the OG head sculpt on the
11:57first release cartoon He-Man isn't gonna really jive then with the coloring that
12:01they've used for the plastic for faker He-Man here but what you probably really
12:04could do too is you could just take the bandolier off of this figure you could
12:07detach the boots down below here and just swap them around when keep then the
12:11darker skin on the original OG cartoon collection He-Man and you could just
12:14basically just salvage the parts all from this guy and just use it with the
12:19original He-Man for at least right now I'm gonna probably display this guy on
12:23the shelf as you're seeing right now until eventually I pick up myself a
12:26second faker originally you may have heard me say a second faker and thought
12:30crazy talk why would this guy even consider the idea of buying a second
12:33faker and now perhaps you realize that the faker He-Man is doing better jobs
12:37with He-Man than the original one could say now again like I'm disappointed that
12:40this guy didn't have the power sword so I've sort of again just kind of stolen
12:44the power sword from He-Man just at least to get the job done and finish off
12:47this review I am really glad that I got myself a faker realizing now the changes
12:52that they've made for it and all the chains were made for the better what do
12:55you guys think of faker here from the cartoon collection now I know he's not
12:58the traditionally blue faker I mean there's nothing really at all hiding the
13:01other counterfeit He-Man no way that he could really convince any other person
13:05in Eternia that he's the real deal but there's something to be said though
13:08about blue skin faker that I still think I like the most the most of the
13:12two designs this one it definitely is just easily more the one that blends in
13:16and convinces everybody else hey you know I'm the most powerful man in the
13:18universe until you realize hello He-Man you okay you got glowing eyes then you
13:22realize he's not if you guys did enjoy this video you can certainly do it a
13:26song throw a like you guys want to stick around for more so I hope so oh I thank
13:30you I hope so hit that subscribe turn on that bell and of course come back as
13:34always thanks for watching see you guys next time
