It Came from the Toy Chest: It came from The Horsemen

The Four Horsemen HAVE DONE a LOT for Masters of the Universe and they were given a chance to create a brand spanking new character for the Toyline: Draego-Man... Seriously, if they ever make a new MOTU cartoon, John DiMaggio should voice Draego-Man... While it won't happen, "Bite my Scaly Dragon Ass!!" should be used at least once by him!! Well, what can I say about him, he's a Dragon-Man!! He's Evil and red... Let's just take a look at him shall we?

Draego-Man's worst enemy... Cuteness!

Created by the 4 Horsemen... Seriously, they should let the Horsemen create ALL the new characters...

Well, he DOES look like he's all new minus the Tail that is Obviously Whiplash's... right?



Draego-Man is made by a butt-load of reused parts! (Some of his new parts MAY have some future reuse)

Draego-Man is free and ready to terrorize the skies of Eternia

Head: New
Torso and Abs: Hordak
Armor: New
Wings: New (Possible reuse on Granamyr and Lord Dactys)
Loincloth: King Grayskull
Shoulders: King Hssss (Corrected)
Biceps: King Hssss
Forearms: New
Hands: New (Possible reuse on Ceratus)
Thighs: King Hssss
Shins: King Hssss
Boots: He-Ro
Feet: Hordak
Tail: Whiplash

He also has a Flaming Sword! What's NOT to love!?

I think I should talk a bit more about his background...
He is Pre-ternian, hates Granamyr, joined King Grayskull, hates King Grayskull, went to sleep or something, joins Skeletor to kill dragons and humans... until he switches sides or something... I guess...

Did I say he looks awesome? I should get on the ratings part... as always, the closer to zero = crap while the closer to 5 equals awesome...

Articulation:
Mr. Draego-Man has the standard MOTUC Articulation + 3 Extra POA with the wings and tail.
His head has a decent range of Articulation incredibly enough... Sadly, he lacks an articulated mouth... Now that would have made him BEYOND awesome!
4.5

Paint and Sculpt:
Yeah, I've already mentioned that he shares a LOT of parts with other characters, but the combination is pretty cool! King Hssss's body works pretty well for a scaly body look, incredibly enough. His head... OMG!! Like that's the kind of head that I see when I think of a Dragon!! His wings are very detailed, but at the same time they fit in the MOTUC style. The armor was made to match He-Ro's boots and the details on them make it pop...
Paintwise it's pretty good... (Good thing Mattel did not cut the paints on him like they did with the accessories). I have one tiny bit of slop on his armor, but it is forgivable...
4.5


Accessories:
The USS Logistics screwed Draego-Man here... He originally was meant to come with one sword and shield. His shield had a removable flame effect while his sword could be either a metal blade or a flaming sword... He only comes with the flaming sword... Now don't get me wrong, It WOULD have been ULTRA COOL! to have them, but in my opinion he really doesn't need any accessories... Unless they were clip-on flames for his face... So let's consider the sword as his only accessory...
4.0

or maybe a repaint of Thunderpunch He-Man's Shoryuken effect

It works pretty good on Draego-Man

Overall:
The Draego-Man gets an Overall score of: 4.33 It's not that bad for a newcomer... He'd probably would have fared a bit better if it wasn't for the USS Logistics...
Kinda wish I had bought multiple DM's to repaint... I wonder if some customizers would try to add different wings on him... Perhaps tweaking the Hasbro Annihilus wings and repaint them to fit Draego?
