Secrets of the MOTUC Snake-Man-At-Arms figure from Mattel! Snake Men vs. He-Man toys

Scott Toy Guru Neitlich from Spector Creative continues his Directors Commentary on the Masters of the Universe Classics figures from Mattel. Dropped accessories, paint deco issues, and why Duncan now looks like a lizard. Its all here.

Man-At-Arms really had a lot variants in Classics which satisfies a lot of fans across the brand. Classics is still the gold standard of all the MOTU toy line.

I appreciated your keeping the flubbed line (4:18). It shows that you are genuinely Human and not a Snake Man.

[adrionjones]

I think the multiple releases of MAA to build your preferred versions of MAA was one of the most ingenious moves in this line.

Compared to the other Duncans in the line, this one is my favorite, the reused parts from Trap Jaw and Roboto make him feel more armored in comparison to the regular MAA and I love how you guys did that with existing pieces.

I wish that some day Mattel would tackle again this concept of doing a 200x-inspired Duncan in their Origins line, with more armor and stuff. Kinda like what they did with the LOP one by giving him a different chest piece that covers his back and Man-E-Faces left hand.

My boy Duncan got the short end of the stick in his story. RiP M.a.A turned into a snake man for life lol

[onjohns]

I really appreciate what you did here. I now have three different Man at Arms in my display, all unique and all cool: original figure style, filmation style, and 200x style.

[Tim-yq]

This character wasn't really my cup of tea, but the sculpt (and deco) of the figure was one of the best in the line IMHO.

[babsbrit]

Egyptian, that's unique. Scott's connection to the Pyramids? Awesome review always, and this one had a cool mini comic.

[MrVice]

Thanks for sharing that story on Snake Man at Arms. As a 200x MOTU fan I really appreciate that you guys had our backs pushing some of the 200x figures, cheers.

[AintNobodyAtAll]

This is one of my favorites. I use him as my "standard" Man-At-Arms with the mustache head. I just really enjoy the added flourishes of the 200x-ish armor.

[andrewgrant]

This is perhaps one of the coolest concepts that we never got to see play out yet. It would have been awesome for him to stay Snake Man @ Arms, but I could also see a redemption arc. May in the Multiverse there is a He-Man @ Arms whom the sword chose for redemption after Duncan betrayed & killed Adam... Another great video sir!

really one of my favorite figs. its literally on my top shelf. thanks Scott.

[Kmation]

Have you ever done a video explaining what happen with the toy line based around the 80s live action MOTU movie?

[geechie-don]

He came out great and looks awesome in the package. I felt it was such an obscure/niche combo I never took him out the package.

[Beedo_Sookcool]

This was a great figure. Ended up getting two -- one to keep as-is, and one for parts-swapping to make an MYP MAA. Even took out the spare's Snake head, so ponytailed MAA could be casually holding his helmet.

[MrJtmendoza]

Hi Scott, thank you for the info on Man-at-Arms. He is my favorite hero in MOTU, I understand that the comics made him permanently a snake man so that the story can move forward, but this transformation saddens me.

[rolandkatsuragi]

The amount of new figures created from recoloring exisiting parts is astounding to me

[rodrickadamginsburg]

Could you do a video on what could’ve potentially happened after his transformation with the fact of him returning all of his memories in the grand scheme of continuity?

[tonyjackson]

I hated Duncan being turned to the evil side, but, it was a bold choice. It also gave Clamp Champ and Fisto some story build. Sometimes, even if it breaks your heart, you have to shake up things in a story.

I realy love these uploads! First off all..i wanted to apologize on bad-mouthing you in a past video. I used to think you were just a mattel paper suit and tie exec for the motu classics line with no real knowledge of motu stuff...but i learned otherwise. I really love these videos and their amazing to hear how things go from production roll out to finally being in collectors hands!
