    Masters of the Universe series 6 comparisons.

    Stinkor vintage vs Origins.

    muostinkor.JPG

    I always liked Stinkor. The black and orange coloring always screamed Halloween to me. The colors really pop. Great looking figure. The orange on the new Stinkor is darker and the red is paler. The red details are painted on the armor. It's just harder to see against the darker orange.

    He does stink. He doesn't absolutely reek out of the package like the vintage Stinkor did when he was new. But the smell is there. I compared the Origins figure to my vintage figure and MOTUC Stinkor and the smell is the same or very similar. The odor just isn't as strong. Maybe because the packages aren't airtight anymore and the scent had already faded a bit or maybe it's a modern safety thing? I don't know but it does still stink. At least mine does.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Eternian Goddess

    muogg.JPG

    This is how the Sorceress/Goddess was colored in the very first mini comic He-Man and the Power Sword. Eternian Goddess is the first female figure to exclusively ship with the corrected knee sculpts. Teela, both Evil-Lyns, She-Ra and even the Sorceress included with Castle Grayskull are all now shipping with the corrected legs.

      For some reason I always likes the Eternian Goddess, just wish they would do more with her. When I see her for sale I will pick her up.

        Where exactly is one getting all these MOTU women with new knees? These running changes are baffling.

          I haven't found any yet. So far, I'm guessing mostly from restocks from online stores like Big Bad Toy Store or Entertainment Earth. I have heard people have gotten the updated Sorceress figures from Castle Grayskulls ordered from amazon.

            Thanks.


            And shame, shame, shame on Mattel for not varying the accessory colors on the upcoming Wave 7 Stratos variant.

              Mosquitor vintage vs Origins.

              muomos.JPG

              Great looking figure with nearly all new sculpted parts. The torso and blood chamber are smaller in comparison to the the vintage figure but the blood pumping action works exactly the same. Wicked! He comes with his vintage gun, extra gripping hand, head and a semi translucent energy drain effect. Fantastic update. So much better than the MOTUC version. I hated those extra little legs on his back.

                But I freakin' loved those on Webstor!

                The design element I've always disliked on Mosquitor are the clunky boots, I think silver Trapjaw legs with red pads would look great and I'm wondering if I can kit-bash this figure a bit with Roboto parts. Always liked his action feature and the drain effect accessory and alternate head are great.

                Really appreciate these reviews, T.

                    Yeah, I really appreciate them too. I'm not buying the entire line, but I am interested in seeing how they all stack up to the originals.

                      Eternian Palace Guard.

                      muoguard.JPG

                      I believe this is a shared online exclusive. It's available from a wide variety of e-tailers including Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store.

                      The figure comes with a lot of extra bits which gives a nice variety of custom choices. You can have an Eternian Guard or an almost vintage toy Man-at-Arms without moustache. I said almost vintage Man-at-Arms because the helmet detail is not exactly the same. The extra Man-at-Arms head has the same helmet sculpt as the guard head. You can also use the right side armor pieces with the first series Man-at-Arms for a Filmation look. The weapon is the same as Scare Glows and the shield is Stinkors all molded in silvery grey.

                        Webstor vintage vs Origins.

                        muoweb.JPG

                        A very faithful update aside from the brighter color. The climbing action feature works. But they did change it a little. The string is thicker and much shorter. There are also little hooks on each side of the backpack to help wrap the string.

                          Lords of Power Beastman.

                          muoredbeast.JPG

                          The weakest figure of a very strong wave. Not a bad figure and it is nice to get a retail release of LOP Beastman. It's just a little bland in comparison to heavy hitters like Webstor and Stinkor. I get what they were doing with it. The retail colors are an homage to the all red Beastman of the early mini comic He-Man and the Power Sword. I just think brighter colors and a smidge more paint would have made him pop a bit more.

                            Target exclusive Battlefield Warriors 2 pack.

                            muohmbc.JPG

                            What an impressive set with loads of accessories and a green rocky base. Battle damaged repaints of Battle Armor He-Man and Battle Cat. The new chrome armor is really striking. Looks fantastic. Battle Cat is molded in a darker green and his armor is a very shiny and iridescent looking. A new He-Man head sculpt with wind swept hair is also included. The weapons are molded in a shiny silvery plastic.
