By the power of steroids, I have the biceps! LOL can't believe they turned this stupid design into a toy. But kudos to them actually somehow managing to do the magically floating shoulderpads right, and for using real fabric for the cape and loincloth. It just... seeing this dumb design still reminds me what a terrible trainwreck this show was.
Knowing Mattel, they might even make... Beast-Dog, or whatever he turned into, as a toy.

They are currently rich with Two-Bad's and King Grayskulls still. Never saw the wave w/ NE Zodac in store, I wanted to double dip on NE Stratos and Zodac to get NE and classiv flavors.

The nearest Walmart for some weird reason has nothing but Wave 2's.

In Hungary, Half-Price was full of classic style Teela. Like, 5 or more. Though I am assuming those guys buy in bulk, as they also had 5 Legacy Blitzwings (ironic as that toy never showed up anywhere else).

I vastly prefer the 2021 Netflix show to Revelation. Only bought Moss-Man from the latter, as he is a good stand in for the 2002 one among my 2002 figures.
I do hope they make at least a few more Masterverse toys of the 2021 characters too. Especially Teela and Evil-Lyn and Krass.

At the very least I’m thankful mattel still will release motu on creations. I just hope we get news soon from mattel on what to expect.

By the way….is he-man.org down for good? The site has been down for a couple weeks now.

I suspect, same as the Allspark does every few years, the site is fishing for donations. First it was the toy section to go, they promised it would be back but that was like half a year ago... now the forums are down too. I suspect it will be down until enough people send money to the owner to start to bother.
I have moved on to Planeteternia a while ago. Yes, it is in german, but in these days of google translate actually working fine, should not be a problem even to those who do not speak the language. They have a super detailed database about every toy and series.
