Mattel Classics to Now

[MEGOMAN]

I was just sitting back and started to think about old He-Man and old MEGO. I know that Mattel has always done He-man. But why it is that they can take the original classic line and then come out with the incredible He-Man line that we have today? On the flip side they can't do MEGO the same justice with the new Retro-Action line. ***?

I suspect because they didn't have to redesign the He-Man body, like they had to with the Retro line, which was also completely new to them, in that scale anyway.

The new He-Man figures do not use the molds from 80's figures. They are entirely new sculpts by the Four Horsemen.

He-Man also does not have any cloth pieces or any removable boots. Everything is sculpted. Hard to screw that up if the sculpters are good, which the FH are.

Good point!
