Yep.

[FabioTheMidget]

I'm just thinking how many of these I should buy, I won't be selling none, just to keep, they improved everything, the figure has the vertical hinge on the hand to hold the sword properly just like Anthony Customs said in many of his videos, metallic harness, torso in a v shape to suit a super hero properly, non oversized loin cloth, it looks better than Classics, I'm felling like a 5 year old

[dukefett]

Looks great, I'm pretty minimal for MOTU, just picked up He-Man and Skeletor origins but I'll grab a few of these in this style.

[Harbinger]

Ah sweet.

[80sforged]

And hoping they at least do the early, core characters in this style.

[Smasher]

By the Power of Greyskull that is DOPE!

[firmpulse]

Everything looks great except that God awful "wash". Mattel needs to stop that. It looked like crap on Savage He-Man, looks bad here and makes no sense on a 40th Anniversary Vintage Styled figure. It reminds me of one of those customs that's presented on boards by a nice fella. It looks really bad but, everyone just says,"Great job! Keep up the good work!" BAD JOB MATTEL. DROP THE WASH.

[Transposer]

Am I the only one who thinks the head and body don't look like they go together?

[orion124]

I'm all about this. Not a fan of the wash, but everything else is stellar

Nope, not just you. It’s like the 12” Mondo He-man with the vintage head on him but in 7 inch scale. He-man needs to be bulky not scrawny. The vintage figures were as wide as tall.

The wash is…..not good.

I love the idea of this, so I’m on board. But I’m not sure I need one to open. Just a closed piece will do.

Any word on where this is going to be? It would be nice for everyone that wants one to get one. Kind of like the 80s….like this figure is celebrating.

To me this this new body is almost unrealistic, maybe Schwarzenegger achieved this physique, the vintage figure is an unrealistic body, a lean person can't have this amount of muscle. This new body is not the same used for Revelations figures.

I dunno, the proportions actually look pretty similar to the vintage figures, if the vintage figures were actually standing up straight.

Yes.

[an99]

Awesome. I'm such a sucker for these kinds of things/figures.

When and where do I buy?

[Otter]

Well that's just amazing.

Clearly in the minority here, but I like the wash. As in I'd rather have it than not have it. Totally debatable as to how well it's done... but better than not having it.

Is it too early (or seemingly ungrateful) to ask Mattel if they're going to do Skeletor as well? Kind of have to, right?

[Trivial Psychic]

[QuikMix]

This is the first He-Man figure that I've really thought about picking up. Nicely done.

[cowen]

I don't mind the wash that most people are complaining about and as much as i want this, everything about motu is scalper bait where i'm from since it's a niche toy line for adults so i'll be very lucky if i do see one at srp, online or otherwise. The only thing i see in toy stores right now are the toys from that new kid-friendly show.

[Piggyv01]

Do you think the flesh tones will match on the real thing? That torso is different to everything else.

[VashTS]

Should've gone with face on box art

Nice catch. Gotta say that looks like the BEST HE-MAN head I've seen.

[Rumpus Rascal]

He looks dirty

[ghostbogey]

Looks decent....
40 years of MOTU!!!!...

Live On HE-Man, Live on ;^)

[MegaPrime33]

Looks pretty good

He is supposed to be a barbarian, not a surgeon, I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
