00:00If I didn't know any better, I'd swear this master's was molting.
00:04Here's a look at the brand new Mattel Master Universe Turtles of Greyskull Rattlore mutated snakeman creature.
00:24The ooze left a trail leading straight to the recently mutated Rattlore,
00:28who can now control the minds of those infected with the venomized mutagen.
00:32Oh, great. Not only did he slither, but he's slimy now, too.
00:36Before we get a closer look, though, at the Turtles of Greyskull Rattlore,
00:39let's take the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands.
00:42Now, he's not actually using a lot of the same body as the original Rattlore,
00:45and you'll see what I mean in a second.
00:47Taking, though, first the tape measure, the figure's going to stand at 6 inches in height,
00:51or roughly about 15 centimeters tall.
00:54See? See? He is a lot taller.
00:57And maybe while he is using maybe the same torso,
01:00he's got brand new arms, he's got brand new legs,
01:02and, yeah, he does have a brand new head sculpt.
01:05Bringing in, also, as well, Skeletor.
01:07Let's see what else we can bring in here.
01:09He also shares, of course, this wave with Mechanix, so we'll bring him in.
01:12And speaking of mutations, here's what the figure looks like with a mutated He-Man.
01:16A minicomic is the first thing we'll have a look at.
01:19To come included, though, with Rattlore, you get yourself Reptile Wars Part 1, Snake in the Shadows.
01:24Looks familiar, doesn't it?
01:25Because it happens to be the same minicomic as the Mechanic we've already had a look at.
01:29Still don't have Donatello. Still don't have Raphael.
01:32Now, to be all honest, I'm not sure if I even want to pick up the two turtles.
01:35I always think, like, the side characters, especially the evil ones, are always a lot cooler.
01:40Flipping, though, through the comic, one thing I do really like is that King Ghidorah style of Shredder
01:44and the turtles down below.
01:46Clamp Champ also is advertised down below.
01:48Clamp Champ is part of the next wave.
01:50I might end up picking that figure up.
01:52We also have there inside, there's Mechanic.
01:54There's Raphael also advertised in there as well.
01:57Like, for what it is, like, the illustrations are done really well.
02:00I just don't know how interested I am to pick up the turtles.
02:03That could very well change, though.
02:05Let's put that off to the side.
02:06What isn't going to change at all is the idea I'm going to be tossing this immediately into the recycling bin.
02:10It's just to indicate, though, hey, he's got a longer neck. Yeah, he does.
02:13Just so that the gray parts are all parts that are swappable.
02:16To note, though, that not only can you remove his head, but you can also detach the part that's on the back of his body.
02:22Discarding that quickly, though, into the recycling.
02:24It doesn't have to be so quick.
02:25I can take my time, but I know you guys want to quickly look at the things that come included with the figure.
02:29One thing, though, got left off, unfortunately, of the figure when I was kind of moving things around.
02:33He does have these kind of armor pieces that clip onto his forearms.
02:37These fall off frequently, though.
02:39So this had already fallen off of his arm.
02:42Basically, when you're putting it onto his arm, you want to just, like, clamp it in place.
02:46But, again, every time that I've moved this figure around, usually these just, again, pop off.
02:50They're made of a pretty nice-looking translucent pink plastic.
02:54The figure, if I don't drop this one now.
02:57The figure does have...
02:58The figure does have...
02:59Get that back in place.
03:00Do I have it the right way?
03:01Maybe I don't have it the right way.
03:02Oh, now that's the right way.
03:04He does have all these neck extensions, which is pretty neat.
03:07Kind of following the same wave, really, as Mecha-Neck.
03:09Because, again, Mecha-Neck also had the same sort of feature.
03:12You take these two parts, and you don't have to, first of all, connect them together.
03:16I mean, as they're on their own, you can't move either of the neck pieces.
03:20So, even though, while it kind of gives you the illusion that you can actually move these around,
03:24these are permanently molded shut.
03:26However, though, you can use one of these.
03:28You can use both of these.
03:30And if you bought, really, enough Rattler, you could be the guy that advertises online,
03:33Hey, look, my Rattler's neck goes all the way to the ceiling.
03:38Take, though, the two neck pieces.
03:39And, essentially, what it is, it's just going to take the ball joint and the ball socket.
03:42Meet the two in the middle.
03:44Plug them in place, and now you've got a little, I say little,
03:47you've got a much longer neck piece that can then attach onto the bottom of his head.
03:50I guess, maybe, before we do that, though, let's pick up Rattler and get a good close look at the figure.
03:55I love...
03:56First of all, there's a lot of things I really like about the figure.
03:58The number one being is the fact that it looks like he is literally molting out of his original skin.
04:03The original skin, though, for Rattler is basically just going,
04:07and then he's basically just vomiting.
04:09There goes the arm piece.
04:10He's basically just throwing up that mutated head that's underneath.
04:13And I think the head sculpt is really good on this guy.
04:15You don't have to necessarily either have Rattler's head, the original head, on the back.
04:19You could leave it off, too, if you want to.
04:21I mean, it's just a case of also just popping off the head.
04:23You can pop this back in place if you really want to.
04:25I mean, I do kind of like, though, that he's got the little collar piece.
04:29Kind of reminds me of Serpentor.
04:31I think it might very well might be the second reference to Serpentor I've made during this week.
04:35Do you remember what the other one was?
04:37But this is basically this.
04:38If I just put the figure down here for a second.
04:40It's a similar style I've had, although it's clearly a lot bigger, though, than the original Rattler.
04:44And this is just, I wouldn't say like it's a super soft bit of plastic, either.
04:48I mean, there's a little bit of density to that.
04:50But if you did want to have the piece completely left off, you can if you want to.
04:54I mean, this back torso piece, too, you could detach, too.
04:57It's weird, though, that he has the holes on the back,
04:59almost to indicate that he should have like a shield or weapon that could attach.
05:02But they've done that a lot, though, with the Turtles of Grayskull line,
05:05that some figures don't have shields,
05:07but then they would also work with other shields from the figures that already have had them.
05:10If you did want to take the torso piece off, though, again, we're just fully commit to this.
05:14You just literally slide this off.
05:16You have to work a lot harder to remove this than you did to take the gauntlet spikes off.
05:20These just keep continuing to pop off.
05:22But if you leave that off, you have basically the assemblance of like the regular Rattler body.
05:28The torso seems to be the same.
05:30If you're looking at also the tails, the tails are also the same.
05:33Hey, I've got a pair of maracas.
05:34You can also shake these as well.
05:36One of the things also that Rattler had was the little shaking.
05:39I don't know what they would actually put inside of there.
05:41And it's probably just in the bottom of his tail.
05:43But he's got a little bit of a rattling feature.
05:45Let's go ahead, though, and take the neck.
05:47First of all, we'll just take Rattler's original head, put that back in place.
05:50Actually, you know what?
05:51Before we do that, though, let's take this piece, which, again, if you wanted to,
05:54you could use for another figure.
05:56Basically, you just put that back in place.
05:58Let's take this piece, which, again, if you wanted to, you could use for another figure.
06:02Basically, you just fit this around.
06:04Kind of have to fit this around his head first.
06:07And once it gets kind of around the collar piece, it's a lot of fighting, really,
06:11to get this honestly back in place.
06:13But fit that back where as best you could.
06:15Then take, whoops, not take Rattler's head and drop it on the floor,
06:18but take Rattler's head.
06:20Of course, there's a hole right there.
06:22Then take, you know what?
06:24Let's take the neck piece.
06:25And the neck piece basically is, again, just going to attach onto that ball joint.
06:28Plug it in place.
06:30You want to make sure, of course, that this doesn't flop around on you.
06:33And then you take the really cool new head sculpt for Rattler,
06:37and then you just attach that onto the end.
06:40Now, to look at this, some could very well say that's a little excessive.
06:43I may be one to agree with you.
06:45I mean, it is a little on the longer side.
06:47I think, honestly, if it comes time to put this guy on the shelf,
06:49which certainly will be right after this review,
06:52I might actually be reducing the length of the neck by one.
06:55I think one neck piece, first of all, it makes him a lot more top-heavy,
06:58but I think that one neck piece is enough.
07:00I think when you get to more than that, it gets a little excessive,
07:03and people start to call you names behind the scenes.
07:05Please don't be calling me names behind the scenes.
07:08But it does give him, of course, some necessary articulation.
07:10He's got some, and now a ball joint.
07:12Obviously, he would have already had the ball joint right there anyways,
07:14but he's got now a ball joint here at the second piece of the neck,
07:17and he's got the ball joint there on the top.
07:19By the way, though, speaking of things that move,
07:21Rattler's mouth does also open and close,
07:23and again, making use of some glorious pink metallic,
07:26not even metallic, like translucent pink plastic.
07:29I like the way that they've also gone in there and colored in the eye.
07:32A little slit there for the pupil.
07:34It's a really cool-looking head sculpt.
07:36The only thing that really is a bit of a bother
07:38is that, just again, like these gauntlet blades fall off frequently.
07:41Just when I think that I've got it in place,
07:43again, I want to make sure I've got it rightly in the right place,
07:46I think the problem with it, too, is it has to be a little bit further up the forearm.
07:49If you move it down, for example,
07:51it just gets too narrow here and ends up popping these off.
07:55I wish, honestly, there was a way that these could have just stayed better in place,
07:58but I think they've also done that, too, so you can mix and match the parts.
08:01Speaking of mixing and matching, by the way, though,
08:03once you do mix this around with another figure,
08:05what you'll see underneath, though,
08:07is that Rattler actually uses translucent blue plastic,
08:10so it's not just the pink that he gets.
08:12He's got translucent blue in the arms,
08:14and he also has it down below in the legs.
08:16Some of it, though, does get covered over with paints,
08:18so we've got some burgundy colors of paint added in there as well,
08:21nice bright pink on the feet on the bottom there as well.
08:24It's a lot of good stuff going into the figure.
08:26You would look at this and think, first of all,
08:28if somebody was to pose this idea at Mattel,
08:30like, hey, let's start adding longer neck pieces,
08:33incorporating, again, some pink, some translucent blues
08:36to Rattler that we've already had before,
08:39I may then look at that and say, I don't know,
08:41I think you've had better ideas.
08:43But somehow, though, all these ideas come together quite well.
08:46The thing about it, though, is, again,
08:48when you start to add the neck pieces,
08:50as you've already seen already,
08:52it does make the figure a lot more top-heavy,
08:54so you sort of have to compensate
08:56by bending the legs back just a little bit.
08:58That'll give you at least an idea
09:00of what the original Rattler looks like compared along with him.
09:02A lot of cool new ideas get incorporated
09:04to the new release of Rattler.
09:06Articulation-wise, he's pretty much going to be the exact same,
09:08other than just, again, when you start...
09:10That's so cool.
09:12When you start now adding the neck piece,
09:14you've got a lot of posability articulation.
09:16So, again, he's got the ball joint here.
09:18It goes a little bit further up.
09:20Then you've got yourself a ball joint here,
09:22and then you've got a ball joint at the top
09:24where the head attaches to the neck.
09:26The mouth does open and close as well,
09:28and that, of course, moves back and forth, too.
09:30So there's a lot of good posability going here.
09:32Standard swivel, though, in his waist.
09:34Because he does have also this larger belt piece
09:36that was also on the original Rattler,
09:38it is going to have a little more problems
09:40when it comes to him rotating.
09:42His arms do rotate, though,
09:44all the way around.
09:46And you can also hinge them out as well.
09:48You're also probably looking at this thinking
09:50as well, like, if this is using translucent plastic,
09:52wouldn't you be worried at all
09:54that the pegs are going to break?
09:56Well, they're actually using...
09:58They are using translucent plastic,
10:00but I don't think they're using anymore
10:02that kind of plastic that would snap over time.
10:04The plastic isn't necessarily gummy,
10:06but I feel like it's more the durable kind of plastic
10:08where I don't think I would have to worry
10:10about it snapping over time.
10:12Something that's also really interesting, too,
10:14is that the coloring of his forearms
10:16are notably lighter of a blue
10:18than the bicep and the shoulder sections.
10:20I kind of do wish that they were the same color.
10:22A lot of it may really have to do
10:24with the fact that they've also gone in there
10:26and painted over top of it,
10:28sort of making it a darker-looking blue
10:30on the bottom of it.
10:32But again, like, his arms do rotate all the way around.
10:34You can bring them out, again, at a T pose.
10:36He's got the single hinge only in the elbow
10:38so he can move back and forth there, too.
10:40Legs split out, working with a ball joint, of course.
10:42You can take the legs and move forward.
10:44You can move them back.
10:46He's got a little bit of a swivel there
10:48at the top of the thigh, single hinge in the knee.
10:50For his ankles, though, he does actually have,
10:52because I'm sure they're probably going to be
10:54using this leg mold for something else,
10:56he actually does have what normally
10:58would be swapped out for a boot.
11:00So there's a swivel cut right here,
11:02and then there's a swivel down below here
11:04for the actual feet.
11:06I picked up, though, the turtles,
11:08and I'm still honestly not sure if I want to.
11:10I'm really happy so far, just kind of getting
11:12the characters on the side.
11:14All the mutants, all the...
11:16Like Mechanek, for example.
11:18I really ended up liking the figure quite a lot.
11:20And Mechanek sort of, again, takes the same cues
11:22as Rattler.
11:24I kind of like the idea that they took two characters
11:26with similar style of gimmicks,
11:28even though I don't really have it yet for Mechanek.
11:30I don't usually have this guy displayed on my shelf
11:32with the extra neck piece.
11:34I don't know if you guys are sharing the same wave.
11:36I might, though, when it comes to getting Rattler
11:38on display, may not go to the route
11:40of displaying this guy with both neck pieces,
11:42because I think that might be a little too long,
11:44and certainly one of the things,
11:46problems that go along with having a long neck like that.
11:48I can't really. I don't have a very...
11:50I have an average length neck.
11:52But if you have a really long neck, I would imagine
11:54that would make you very top-heavy.
11:56I mean, I can only speak really for Rattler.
11:58The figure has a problem standing
12:00when he's got both neck pieces attached to his shoulders.
12:02I find the irony in the fact that Rattler
12:04is one of the hardest figures to stand on my shelf.
12:06The original Origins Rattler,
12:08just because the length of his legs
12:10and then that longer tail
12:12always usually ends up forcing this figure forward,
12:14and he always ends up falling.
12:16I don't know how many times I've picked up
12:18the original Origins Rattler.
12:20Now I'm going to have a similar issue here
12:22with the Turtles of Grayskull release.
12:24Not only do I have to contend with the tail,
12:26but I have to now contend with an extendable neck piece
12:28that's going to make this guy even more top-heavy.
12:30You don't have to go with both extensions.
12:32If you want to just choose one,
12:34I might just end up going with one.
12:36Although I like the look of the longer neck,
12:38maybe one neck piece is more than enough for me.
12:40I do like that there's posability with each of those joints,
12:42and there's posability where you can open
12:44and close the mouth.
12:46You could strip this guy down, too, if you want to.
12:48Stop that, perverts.
12:50You can take the back of his armor off completely
12:52if you don't like that there.
12:54I mean, it does bring all the rest of the pink
12:56that's on the figure together.
12:58Even though he doesn't come in clue with a shield,
13:00I'm sure you could easily rip off a shield
13:02that came in clue with another Turtles of Grayskull figure
13:04and attach it onto Rattler here.
13:06One of the things that fall off the most
13:08is these gauntlet pieces.
13:10These little spikes, I'm guessing
13:12that's supposed to be part of his body
13:14and not that he's wearing armor,
13:16but they fall off way too much, way too often.
13:18Every time, though, I move his arm,
13:20every time I swivel his hand,
13:22I find myself going,
13:24going back, finding the one that's ended up
13:26on the floor and snapping it back in place.
13:28At least it's not broken.
13:30It's just more frustrating than anything else.
13:32Rattler, though, is probably
13:34between him and Mechaneck.
13:36I mean, it's pretty hard for me to say that
13:38because I haven't even picked up the two Turtles yet.
13:40But for me, at least, for what I've looked at,
13:42these are my two favorite figures from this wave.
13:44I love the pink color that they've incorporated to Rattler.
13:46Rattler was already a neat-looking figure.
13:48He always just had issues with his tail.
13:50Now I've got issues to contend with
13:52both his tail and his neck.
13:54If you have a Rattler, let me know down below in the comments section.
13:56Have you guys had the chance to pick this one up yet?
13:58Or is this one also that you guys could want to see
14:00adding it to your collection?
14:02If you guys did also enjoy this video,
14:04you can do it a solid throw to like.
14:06But if you guys want to stick around for more so,
14:08I hope so, you can hit the subscribe
14:10and you can turn on the bell.
14:12As always, thanks for watching.
14:14See you guys next time.
