    Thanks for the shout out amigo! Hopefully MATTEL will release a new sticker pack in the future....and hopefully they re-release updated versions of Battle Cat & Panthor with ankle articulation....AND BEAST FEET for Beastman, Stratos Mossman, etc #ReleasetheBeastFeet! After all these fixes, the origins line will pretty much be perfect!

    I'd love it if Mattel offered the original Jungle Adventure playset -- even as a crowdfunder because from the one photograph we have of it -- it looks like the removal of those play features and grafting the monster face over that side of the playset killed the play-ability of it. Agree on the stickers and blood falls -- I've got my fingers crossed for a Secrets of Snake Mountain set with official blood falls, the meeting table, and a Hover droid or two.
  • Snake Mountain is the perfect set to complement Castle Greyskull. Now my Origins collection feels that much more complete!

    Awesome review. Short and straight to the point. Gives the 411 on everything I need to know without having to spend too much time!

    There needs to be another My Buddy themed video with this
  • Fantastic video as always. Really enjoyed the fun vibe and the history you added for context. Going to snag a blood falls while hoping Mattel gives us an accessory set.
  • Great review. I remember having this as a kid and it is so cool that its back for this generation.

    Hi everyone! I saw this was coming on, I can’t stay… have some work to do but already liked and will watch later!
  • Great review, agree on all points. I like the box art but it's tough competition when compared to the vintage art.
  • @ibrandon3g
    Great video Jay, I’m definitely grabbing one of this blood falls accessories!

    I have an amazing Grayskull ,Snake Mountain and we have Eternia coming next year, way more than I would expect from a modern line. I do hope we get bridges to connect all 3.

    Got my SM this week! Going to set it up after this video!

    I ordered it off of Deep Discount that I never had used literally the weekend it was announced ~69? So long ago! And I got it! Mine didn’t have a purple rock for the slime, but whatever. Great set. Already have a transparent red lava flow I made for my vintage one that works great. 🎉 Also making an internal extra platform that’s going to be awesome.
  • Looks really nice I just hope we will see it on the store shelves in Canada been a while I saw something new in Motu here in Quebec Canada I started late in the game but got greyskull and couples of figs Great and interesting video

    Nice!! Vids look great! I dunno if you do much Xmen figures but theres a pretty sweet Xmen Age of Apocalypse action figure series you might like. Nice work! Love Snake mountain!!
  • @danield1262
    So the snake can be articulated at the base without modifications ? Most reviews Ive seen says it cant be so just curious

    This came out really nice, good job Mattel. Still won't trade it in for my vintage SM - but that's only because I don't want to put the OG one into storage. But it's a great option for anyone looking to upgrade or get a SM for their collection in the first place. Now gimme that Fright Zone! ;)
