And me and my best mate have a general loathing of the Keldor thing and are both thankful that Revelation went with the early mini-comics and the filmation cartoon thing of 'demon from another dimension' rather than 'dodgy old uncle kelds'. Christ that pre-skelly look is so bloody lame with his long hair and crap facial hair lol. Anyways aye Masterverse are bound to get to it soon enough. Origins has got He-Man and Skeletor from there in it's latest wave. And aye 200X could use some decent toys. The original ones were shite. Barely articulated, weirdly proportioned ugly crap. And even He-Man is in a fixed hunched over pose like he's got major back problems and unable to lift that huge, over-designed sword of his. They did them in Classics fine but aye the usual Classics issues there such as availibity and costs. So aye, I hope Masterverse gets to that and provides for you and other 200X people. Even though some of them have been huge jerks. My mate's had to block several 200X fans posting crap (including obscene sick crap and bigoted stuff) on his instagram posts of his Revelation figures.

And aye Mer-Man stopped wearing his armour after he went back to the sea after Skelly died, and they wanted him to have more of a swimmer look and figured armour's a lil weighty for swimming in. And I really like the clean look and his scars. A more 'classic' armoured look is shown in episode 2 during the flashback. And the model sheets show the two different outfits he has. Oddly his leg armour becomes slightly bulkier in the timeskip look. Loses his chest armour but has to protect his knees! lol My mate did have his Mer-Man wear Faker's orange skelly armour for a while. Looked ok. lol

200X wasn’t perfect, yes Keldor’s design was just pure sleaze bag, and the Uncle thing was odd because it barely had any impact on the show and was hardly mentioned, season 2 was better with the Snake Men. Dare I say it is far more watchable than 80’s He-Man, I loved that show as a kid, but it’s hard to watch today, but the same goes with all the 80’s toons I loved. I’m hoping we get classic look MerMan like they did with Teela, Mattel are likely going to wanna milk this for all it’s worth so it may happen.

Nice one on getting Beast Man, I don’t think I’m gonna wait around on him, it’s hard to tell which are gonna sell out and which will peg warm, but I think that Beast Man might be a popular figure
