Yes. This was a crowdfunded/collectible item. At $550 plus. A thick ply cardboard should've been used. Mattel failed... classics grayskull shipper was done well. I hope somebody well known in the toy community ask the brand manager about this issue.

Worth noting… there were 9,291 backers for this which means there are only 9,291 of these New Eternia sets in existence… maybe a few more at Mattel HQ… but that’s still 5,291 more than was ever made of the original Eternia. According to Mattel Engineer Mike McKittrick (quoted on Battleram Blog) only about 4,000 of the original playset were ever produced!

@JAbell1966 4 ай бұрын

That number is just backers, some of them may have ordered more than one and I'm sure Mattel had some extras made for customer service (I believe Scott once said that they did a 3% over-run for that). Weren't these also made available for retailers in certain foreign markets?

I think everyone knows this by now but just in case, the vintage Blaster Hawk comes off its base and fits right into the base for the red missile launcher thing. It makes this monstrous tower even bigger! And it looks perfect. The Blaster Hawk is red with silver airbrushing, it's a great contrast to the blue, but the theme is consistent.

@andrewdbowers 4 ай бұрын

100% agree with you on everything in this review. They should have known better and had a remediation process in place for damages. Their options for damaged boxes are short-sighted and costing them money and reputation. The art, the actual product, and the production quality are all great. But with the shipping box inadequacy and then delaying the very next Creations sale, Mattel is having a bad week.

Well Mattel better start looking at what the other toy companies are doing when it comes to packaging. You cannot send high priced collected toys in that way. While on the other they need to look at Mattel just for the poster. Cause that is a very nice choice on their part to include this. Cause I know a lot of collectors would love, myself included something similar. There was a cardboard poster that came with the Haslab Victory Saber. Sadly that is not in the same league. So nice unboxing Dan and thank you for such an enjoyable video. Best 52 minutes of the day 😊.

Finally! Truth be told, I don't remember the original playset from the 80s at all. I'm 47 and was right there in the target demographic back then. The 80s toon was one of my favorite, in fact. I just never had more than one or two of the figures and a Dragonwalker, lol...I think my brother had the Roton. I'm pretty sure they all came from yard sales! I had a couple friends with tons of toys, but none of them ever had it. The new set looks about as "80s toy" as it gets. That's the genius behind the Origins line. They made toys that look nearly identical to the originals but work more like modern toys. I wish Playmates would have done that with their vintage designs. They would have had a goldmine on their hands.

Fingers crossed for Masterverse scaled playsets in the future. With the incredible work, Mattel has done in giving collectors representation of the live-action movie characters, I'd love to see movie vehicles get made, Gwildor's workshop might be a fun playset, or maybe dioramas of concept art of areas within Grayskull. I'd also be up for a line of Masterverse figures based on Moebius' designs from the movie.

What an epic and thorough review, Dan! I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered this, even after seriously sitting on the decision for almost a full week before pulling the trigger (because I wanted to get King Grayskull as well). I have absolutely no room in our house for this, and it is currently sitting in its shipping box in the attic above our garage. I don’t even know what condition the main box is in other than what I could see when I opened it from the side (it looks like it may be fine, but looks can be deceiving, the shipping box definitely had a few dings and dents in places). That’s where it’s staying until I can figure out an alternative…so probably a couple of years at least. That was fun pushing a nearly 50-pound box up a narrow ladder into the attic by myself. I redirected my shipment to a nearby FedEx pickup location after hearing all the horror stories, not that it likely helped all that much. So many features on this set, I wouldn’t even know where to start! I can imagine my son and myself having hours of fun when it gets set up someday. Your enthusiasm and excitement were infectious! I could feel your giddiness with the monorail…that trap door dropping a figure into the moat is amazing! 😁 I just hope that Mattel learns from their mistakes with this and ensures that any crowdfunder in the future will be packaged better. Most of the shipping issues people have had could have been resolved with just a bit more time and effort. ~Damon

That monorail mount is going thru the snake....oh that's why the snake is going crazy

Very good review. I think for the space problem they designed the monorail to unclip and be just around central tower, so you can keep the other towers apart.

Now this was the comparison time I was looking forward to and it was certainly worth the wait! The one thing I am wondering is if the motorised piece from the old Eternia works on the new monorail? Knowing Mattel, that wouldn't surprised me. 😃

I really hope well still get the Keclar figure released to go with this.

While it look really awesome, I did not get this one for two reasons. 1. Shipping to Sweden would be too much. It'd be up there around 8-900 USD. 2. I already have the vintage one so combined with the shipping, not worth it. But I am super happy for all you who got it.

For those of us who don't have the money or space for this epic playset, it's cool to get to see it all set-up and decked out with figures. I'd love Mattel to make available a full-size poster of the box art for this playset...it would make a great background for any MOTU collection.
