REVIEW – MATTEL MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE CHRONICLES RAM MAN

Amazon MGM’s 2026 Masters of the Universe Live-action movie stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, who returns to Eternia after being hidden away on Earth to embrace his destiny as He-Man, mastering the Power of Grayskull and saving his home world of Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor by discovering the courage and responsibility needed to become its greatest hero.

Name: Ram Man 
Line: MOTU Chronicles 
Manufacturer: Mattel
Released: 2026
Price: $89.99
Scale: 6.5 inches in height
Accessories: Battle axe, leg extensions and extra hands

Ram Man comes included with Fisto as an Amazon exclusive two pack and can be purchased on his own too.

All jokes about Ram Man and Fisto being in a two pack aside. It was nice to include to great characters from the movie together to make it easier to get both at the same time.

SCULPTING

This sculpt of Ram Man is great and the likeness to actor Jon Xue Zhang even underneath the helmet is great too. Ram Man’s costume design is easily my favourite so far. This figure has done an excellent job at translating it from what we see in the movie.

PAINT

No real problems with any of the paint on Ram Man. It’s all nice and neat. With the one exception being that some of the weathering on one of his boots doesn’t match the same amount as on the other boot so it looks a bit odd. Otherwise no other problems.

ARTICULATION

Ram Man’s articulation is about the same as the other figures in this line so far and gives you enough articulation to pose the figure fairly dynamically. Unlike the other figures I have reviewed so far his waist is not loose. I really enjoyed posing Ram Man he was fun to play around with.

ACCESSORIES

You get a battle axe for Ram Man, it looks great and easily fits in his hand. The extra fist hands are good and finally he comes with leg extensions for his ramming effect. I had an issue with mine as the right extension wouldn’t fit on properly. 

I ended up drilling mine out a little bit and eventually got it to fit on snug enough as it was a little bit disappointing only because I was in the middle of taking photos and initially thought perhaps it was two of the same side as they aren’t interchangeable pieces – they are meant for each leg only.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

Besides an ill-fitting accessory, no real issues with Ram Man

PRICE

I paid the standard Amazon price of $89.99 plus shipping to get the two pack the very next day. I was happy with that and it was good to get the exclusive two pack so quick.

OVERALL

Ram Man is another great addition to the MOTU Chronicles line and definitely worth picking up. He’s a fun figure and looks just like he did in the movie. Definitely worth having in your collection.

REVIEW – MATTEL MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE CHRONICLES FISTO

Amazon MGM’s 2026 Masters of the Universe Live-action movie stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, who returns to Eternia after being hidden away on Earth to embrace his destiny as He-Man, mastering the Power of Grayskull and saving his home world of Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor by discovering the courage and responsibility needed to become its greatest hero.

Name: Fisto
Line: MOTU Chronicles 
Manufacturer: Mattel
Released: 2026
Price: $89.99
Scale: 6.5 inches in height
Accessories: Punch effect and extra hands

My second MOTU Chronicles review is Fisto, who comes in an Amazon exclusive two pack with Ram Man. 

All the fisting jokes aside from the movie, I guess Fisto really does just fist stuff. But in al honestly a lot of the original MOTU characters did have lazy character names in my opinion. 

Fisto comes in an Amazon exclusive two pack with Ram Man and can still be ordered from Amazon and at the moment this is the only way to get your hands on Fisto.

SCULPTING

This sculpt of Fisto is excellent and in my opinion the likeness to actor Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson is great! The rest of the figure does a good job match how the character looks in the movie and is sculpted great too.

PAINT

There is one main issue I have with this figure’s paint and it’s that I feel the hair and beard are too dark. I think a lighter shade of brown would have helped any problems with the overall look of the character in my opinion. Otherwise like other figures from this line there is little to no issue with paint applications.

ARTICULATION

 Fisto’s articulation is about the same as He-Man’s and unfortunately has the same loose waist as He-Man, which is disappointing as it does hinder the enjoyment of posing the figure. All the other joints are nice and tight though.

ACCESSORIES

You get a power effect for Fisto’s fist hand and some alternate hands too. All the accessories are great! But I’d still want some more hand variations in all honesty.

The power effect really makes it fun to take photos of Fisto and helps add a little bit more oomph to the photos and poses.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

Nothing to worry about with Fisto. 

PRICE

I paid the standard Amazon price of $89.99 plus shipping to get the two pack the very next day. I was happy with that and it was good to get the exclusive two pack so quick.

OVERALL

This is a great live action MOTU Fisto figure and you would be glad you sprang for the two pack. Fisto is an excellent figure and worth the purchase.

REVIEW – MATTEL MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE CHRONICLES HE-MAN

Amazon MGM’s 2026 Masters of the Universe Live-action movie stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, who returns to Eternia after being hidden away on Earth to embrace his destiny as He-Man, mastering the Power of Grayskull and saving his home world of Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor by discovering the courage and responsibility needed to become its greatest hero.

Name: He-Man 
Line: MOTU Chronicles 
Manufacturer: Mattel
Released: 2026
Price: $35.00
Scale: 6.5 inches in height
Accessories: Power sword and extra hands

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!
