00:00i really hope that gobo's gonna be getting his mail today here's your look at the boss fight
00:04studio this is jim henson's fraggle rock back to the rock uncle traveling mats
00:19the og explorer uncle traveling matt is ready to share his adventures
00:23standing at five inches tall with 14 points of articulation he comes outfitted with adventure
00:28with explorer's helmet backpack notebook and pencil orb of understanding skateboard walking stick along
00:35with an alternate head and hands well one good thing he doesn't have to pay for the postage
00:39let's take the tape measure now and see how tall the boss fight studio fraggle rock back to the rock
00:43uncle traveling mat stands yeah second actually fraggle rock figure that we've looked at from
00:48boss fight studio and in cases of both of them i picked them up from entertainment earth certainly
00:53you can click the link down below if you want and if you're interested to get the set for yourself
00:57they're available right now at entertainment earth and that affiliate link will save you 10
01:00percent on anything anything that's currently in stock traveling mat is going to stand at five
01:05inches in heights that works out though to be a figure that's 12 and a half centimeters tall
01:10not really knowing how tall a fraggle is i did what everybody else does i consulted google
01:14google says an average fraggle goes anywhere from 18 to 22 inches tall or roughly 46 centimeters tall
01:22so if you're looking at like a regular 12 inch tall figure a fraggle would basically be a 12 inch
01:27tall figure and then another six inches on top of that and why this is such a perplexing thing to me
01:32is when i bring in a character like gobo gobo i think for all intents and purposes would be an
01:36average sized fraggle right okay traveling matt when he went to the great outer space and interviewed humans
01:42usually he was about the size about mid thigh on a human just below the waist because obviously he was the
01:47size of a muppet so i think if you're looking at the size of that and then you think that traveling
01:52matt is a tad bit taller than gobo i think the measurements at least from what google provided me
01:56is somewhat correct i might be the only person that looked up how tall is a fraggle in google
02:01oh what you you did too all right we can be besties let's look at the accessories that come
02:05include traveling matt the thing that i wouldn't really think of traveling matt right away with
02:09is the figure does come include a skateboard the skateboard does have rolling wheels so at least
02:13that's something and of course there's a peg right here that can plug into either one of matt's
02:17shoes i don't know if i've ever seen myself ever displaying traveling matt to be honest with a
02:21skateboard but i think as an accessory it's pretty cool let's move it off to the side traveling matt
02:26then comes include with more things that would be recognizable to the character well maybe not so
02:30much a tennis ball but he does also come include that as well he does have a couple of gripping hands
02:35so like there's this hand here which i guess would be the best for holding the ball i mean in a case
02:39like this he's not so much gripping the ball it's basically just rusting it on his palm am i really
02:45gonna ever display the figure with the ball by the way too as you've probably noticed me unboxing
02:50traveling matt you may have asked yourself well what you know like gobo where where did all the
02:53accessories come from behind the box behind the tray there was actually a little ziploc bag like
02:57quite a large ziploc bag actually and all the accessories were sitting inside of that anybody
03:02that's picking up any of the new boss white studio fraggle rock figures will know that instantly okay so
03:07for more of the recognizable things as mentioned the figure does come include this walking stick
03:11the walking stick looks good i mean it's a little on the shinier side and of course he does have a
03:15gripping hand for i've already taken the liberty of actually swapping and changing out the hands
03:19you can put the walking stick into traveling matt's hand the figure does also have a backpack
03:25i know it's a simple fix but the figure does have a peg on the back of the pack so that's just
03:29basically going to plug on the back of his body he does technically have two visible holes though
03:33they're not visible when you're looking at the front of the fraggle on the back though if you look
03:38right there the figure does have a hole here to attach to his backpack or i guess the other way
03:42around and then he also has unfortunately though a hole right here for his hat we're not looking at
03:48his hat just yet we're going to take the backpack which is nicely detailed and painted and that's
03:52just going to plug onto his body now you have to kind of get it underneath his hair and then wiggle
03:57wiggle wiggle no not you not you wiggle the backpack till eventually attaches on the back of his body
04:02if you're familiar with gi joe's it basically works the exact same way he does also have his notepad
04:08although there's no scripture actually on there yet i don't know if he has decided what he's going
04:12to be writing on the pages or if any of those pages will find their way to gobo the book itself
04:17doesn't open or anything like that it's just molded in plastic i've already at the beginning
04:20of this review actually put the notebook in his hand you can certainly do that you know what let's do
04:24that take the notebook flip it around at least so he's facing facing the blank pages and then on
04:29the other side the figure does come included as well with it looks more like a crayon and
04:34basically again that's just going to fit into his hand i'm not i'm kind of honestly torn not that i
04:40would be so torn about what accessory to put in a fraggle's hand but i would honestly really like
04:44to have traveling matt writing something to gobo but yet though i really would like to have the
04:48figure displayed with a walking stick it's just really a shame that traveling matt doesn't come
04:52include with a third arm yeah that's it's a bit of a strange thing to be worried about
04:57um then the figure does have again a couple of swappable hands make sure the tennis ball doesn't
05:02roll away on me a couple of swappable hands he has like a gestured hand for holding like the
05:06well you could have it just kind of just like relax to the side like this or again you probably could
05:10just put the ball there but the ball doesn't really stay in place then he also comes included with a
05:14pointing hand so you could point off to the greater out known of where he's going to be traveling next
05:18interviewing human humans asking them all about their daily doings and of course telling all about
05:23telling it all to gobo lastly the figure does come include with a safari hat the safari hat is molded
05:30really well actually here and you can kind of follow the form of this it actually looks like a
05:34shrieking ghost with a beard oh what what yeah there's a peg right here and then of course the
05:42indications of what essentially will be resting on top of his brow so if you look at the back again
05:47of the figure's body there's a hole right here you take the hat plug it in place and then
05:52essentially the the uh drawing a blank here the safari hat yeah sits just on top of his head it
05:59does pretty enough good enough job too i mean you can kind of rest it further down but that's
06:03basically as far as it's going to go lastly though traveling that does conclude the swappable head
06:09seems more shocked than anything else
06:11the hat itself i noticed with all the accessories on traveling like the head especially seems easy
06:19to swap out i had a real tough time when it came to gobo changing out the heads traveling
06:23that i didn't have that issue at all before though we do that let's go ahead and remove the crayon
06:27we'll also remove this little sketchbook notepad and let's also take off a safari hat which i was
06:32drawn a blank for before stop that for the head sculpt the traveling mat choose which one you'd
06:40prefer i'm still gonna even though i will change it show you guys how to change the head on this one
06:45i'm still probably going to be it's funny though that actually with the freckle rock figures i seem
06:48more interested in the defaulted heads than i do with the ones that come packed inside with the figure
06:53i just dropped the head here both of them by the way do have the holes on the back so if you want
06:57to put the swarry hat on this one you can certainly do that as well yeah i'll change it but
07:02i'll tell you though i i'm still going to end up sticking with this head sculpt when it comes to
07:05displaying this guy on the shelf let's also take the pack off so just so i can get a firm grip of
07:10traveling matt let's go ahead and just remove his head from the ball joint he does technically also
07:14have a scarf you could take off too if you want and we'll just take the head that we want to change
07:18it to and wiggle oh here we go talking about wiggling again just kind of put it back onto the peg as
07:25best you can very little in the way of heating had to be required for traveling matt's head change
07:30although the same couldn't be said for gobo then if you want to use then the safari hat
07:34just plugs in place oh it plugs in place in the same way same fashion it can display the figure like
07:40that it's a cool looking head but all honestly though i mean i just probably just end up going
07:45back to this one i think it's the better of the two for the rest of matt's outfit he has a safari
07:50outfit so of course he's got himself like the khaki shirt matching khaki pants i don't know really
07:54where he's buying these clothing from i mean fraggles i would imagine they probably are making their
07:58clothes but this probably looks like something that fraggle like traveling matt would have bought
08:01out in the wild got a little scarf there that of course is a separate piece the jacket looks good
08:06really nice job on the on the overall sculpting of this it doesn't look like there's any paint at
08:11all on this i would imagine they probably just solely relied on the molding of the plastic he
08:15still has though a fraggle tail so of course there's some posability there as well you move
08:19it up and down yeah you can move it back and forth traveling matt seems happy down below of course
08:23he does also have some socks and some hiking boots hiking shoes pegs on the bottoms of those by the
08:28way for the figure's articulation at least with the head sculpt that we have traveling matt's head is on
08:33a bulge right so the head looks down looks up you can also watch not for the dropping of the hat you
08:38can also move it back and forth as well this will happen often though the hat falling off that is just
08:43because again it's only relying on that hole alone when you start to kind of move the head around
08:48often you'll find yourself banging the hat and then you have pick it up put it back on his head it
08:52just happened earlier the arms do rotate back and forth i didn't have as much of an issue with
08:56traveling matt's arms that i did with gobo gobo still seems to be an issue where the arm doesn't
09:01want to stay in place some have said though one of the issues really was with the placement of the
09:06vest that did result in the arm kind of falling off too frequently you know you can see right there
09:11i mean it's a fix enough at least that you can just plug it back to the hole but it never really
09:16should be giving this much of an issue to me traveling matt on the other hand i don't have
09:19any issues whatsoever the figure does have a swivel in the arm so you can move it back and forth there's
09:23a hinge also there for the elbow and do also rotate all the way around upper torso i would say is on a
09:30ball joint although the ball joint seems very tight on the figure i mean again you can move it back and
09:34forth but not by much though legs do split you can kind of move them forward and back he's sort of
09:39self-contained inside his shorts the figure does have a swivel there there's a bit of a knee bend and of
09:45course the figure does have some toe or foot articulation you can move it back and forth
09:49this way you can also yeah move it up and down this way too traveling matt though as a staple for
09:54fraggle rock i mean if you're going to be releasing a line of fraggle rock figures whether it be the
09:58new series or the 80s series you have to obviously include a truck uncle traveling matt did these
10:04displayed alongside of gobo well again like i never knew really the size of fraggle i had to consult
10:09old google dr google i have actually a friend that everybody just calls mr google because
10:14when it comes time for him knowing anything you can always really see you look over your
10:18shoulder yeah mr google is kind of looking down at his phone okay and then give him just a couple
10:24of minutes and then he's able to tell you exactly what everybody's talking about line for line almost
10:29as if he read it verbatim because he did you know with a fraggle being again about 18 to 22 centimeters
10:34or 22 inches tall i guess from a size standpoint traveling matt is obviously gonna be a little bit
10:39taller than gobo so i think that fits the part when it comes to the size of how he is compared with
10:44other humans from what the accessory count is i mean boss fight really has packed a lot
10:50of accessories with all these fraggle figures i mean some of the accessories i don't honestly
10:54find myself ever really displaying with traveling matt like the skateboard i mean i just feel like
10:58that's a lot of plastic that was dedicated to doing this and probably could have been spent somewhere
11:02else if you like maybe the skateboard by all means there's that there's also again the baseball
11:06the baseball doesn't really have a proper hand to hold that for me though it's going to be a
11:09backpack it's going to be of course a safari hat not this head not this head but this one instead
11:14and then probably either the walking stick or the the marker or the uh the crayon in his hand
11:19traveling matt though is a welcomed addition to the boss fight studio i mean i think from what
11:22we've gotten so far there's only been one wave that's been released so far it was gobo was traveling
11:27matt there's the two doozers and red i haven't yet picked up the doozers i have however though picked
11:32up red so her review will also be coming your way but traveling that is another good continued
11:36start even though we kind of started our journey when it came to gobo we've continued our journey
11:40with the guy that knows about journey traveling the most uncle traveling matt i would say outside
11:45the walking stick the alternate head and the skateboard won't find their way onto traveling
11:49matt's body will find their way instead inside the ziploc bag with all the other accessories i don't
11:53plan to display with the figure i do for the record appreciate that boss fight would include the
11:58things that they did some of those accessories though just aren't my cup of tea i'd rather just
12:03have traveling matt with a big smiling face instead not the shocked look that he has currently
12:09now he certainly does again look a lot like traveling matt i again i say that only looking
12:14at the original 80s source material i haven't honestly yet watched a single episode of fraggle
12:19rock back to the rock but i would imagine that they're probably using puppets and muppets for that as
12:23well traveling that though always was was my favorite segment from the original series i kind of like
12:28the idea that he was traveling around streets that i would know as a kid i mean i did not that i
12:32traveled a lot to toronto but knowing that it was a canadian street kind of made it more appealing to
12:38me than him just wandering around unknown streets now this one is available right now much like gobo
12:43i did actually find these one at entertainment earth i have picked up gobo traveling that obviously
12:48and i have picked up red which we will be looking at next if you guys are big fans of fraggle rock
