If you haven’t seen yet the new Masters Of The Universe Live-action movie it’s that bad, it’s not amazing, but it’s not terrible either and worth watching at least once.
Unfortunately for me, I didn’t get around to watching it in the cinemas but did watch it on Amazon Prime and I enjoyed it enough to want to buy some figures from the new movie.
I was still able to find some of the toys at retail stores. He-Man and Man-At-Arms I acquired from Kmart, and the Fisto and Ram Man from Amazon. I did hold off buying this figure when I initially saw them. But eventually broke down and bought He-Man because the new body looks really well made and I wanted to see how fun it was to pose and play with, and then of course, I had to buy more figures.
Tonight I’ll cover He-Man, and in the next few weeks I’ll review Fisto, Ram Man and hopefully at least Man-At-Arms too in addition to my already scheduled reviews.
SCULPTING
This figure has a great likeness to He-Man actor Nicholas Galitzine. You can easily tell it’s him and it’s a stern/focused expression on his face. The hair looks great too, and it’s cast in a nice light brown tone.
The body sculpting is definitely excellent too! The muscle definition really helps sell the “Most Powerful Man in the Universe” idea. It’s not overwhelmingly muscular like the original toys or too lean either. The way Mattel have made the arm and leg joints really reminds me of SH Figuarts too, which adds to the appeal.
My only complaint would be that the flesh tone is probably a little bit too yellow.
PAINT
There is not a lot of paint used here. Mainly on He-Man’s armour and accessories, if at all. The paint application on the figure’s face is nice and clean and any other paint is neat too.
ARTICULATION
He-Man has a lot of articulation and it enables you to pose He-Man in most of the poses you would normally like to put him in. Most likely holding his power sword in some way. Even the classic “I have the power” pose is easy enough to pose him. What bothers me is the loose waist and right hip, which made it annoying to get him to hold some of the poses I wanted to put the figure in. Hopefully it’s just He-Man with this issue and not all the figures.
ACCESSORIES
You get the Power Sword and some extra fist hands. Not a lot of accessories and some extra hands would have been nice to see included. The Sword is great and fits in the holder on his back without issue.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
Nothing to worry about with this toy. Except those loose joints. Otherwise it’s great and rock solid.
PRICE
I paid $35 from Kmart and was happy with that considering it retails for about $46 online here in Australia. The lower price is definitely the better option.
OVERALL
This is a pretty great He-Man figure and overall has its minor flaws but is still fun to pose and play with, and that makes it enjoyable enough for me. Definitely worth picking up the Chronicles version if you haven’t already. It’s a great figure!
