I saw the prince Adam/He-man box set from the convention in person that a friend has. Looks great. Just enough retro and just the right amount of newness. Looks like a solid start to the line. I think the 200x line had a great cartoon, but the toys were just weird. They weren’t appealing imho. They weren’t modern he-man figures, they were superheroes dressed as he-man. The proportions were wrong. Too sinewy and lanky. I love that these are more squat and power-lifter builds. I want to see more. I might support this JUST to entice Mattel to release more figures at a price below $20.

My main issue with this line is that some designs look “forced retro” similar to the Mondo 80’s heads. I’m not sure how all the figures are going to look. If these are based on the upcoming Netflix show, I hope they show more designs so I can anticipate what some of my favorites will look like.
