It Came From the Toy Chest: Must not make any BTTF Jokes!

Cause He-Man is going to take you back to the past... To play the shi- Oops! sorry, wrong line!
Maybe he can go back to the past and tell me the lotto numbers so I can buy 2013 subs!
and NO... He's not going to the past to make sure that he is born... and not make his mom fall in love with him... Can't make any He-Man is wearing a dress jokes, or he's the MOTUC Hamburglar... Robble Robble!
How can I review Preternia Disguise He-Man if I can't do any jokes with a figure so full of comedic potential!

Really? I can't make a He-Man in a dress joke?
OK let's do this in a more serious manner! I REALLY WANT TO MAKE A WRONG SWORD JOKE HERE!! Ah, let's do this!!
Thunderpunch He-Man has to travel to the past to find out the weakness of the Snakemen. Sorceress warns him about the past and how interfering could change the future... so, He-Man wears that robe and puts on a Domino Mask so people many years ago (long before there was a He-Man) would NOT RECOGNIZE HIM!! I'll let the stupidity of that sink in... Let's say that 2012 me hits 1612 wearing 2012 clothes and a bathrobe with a domino mask on top of them...

I'll do the ratings thing cause the more I talk about Preternia Disguise He-Man, I wanna punch somebody... Johnny Cage style!!

Articulation:
How can I say this: in theory, he's got the Standard Articulation. In execution, not so much...
His ab crunch is partially blocked by the top. Most of his thigh Articulation is blocked by his super Rigid Skirt. Sure, he has some slits on the sides, but the hard Material reduces the range of motion... Good thing for Battle Cat, cause He-Man can't ride him or fly the Wind Raider.
2.5

Paint and Sculpt:It's He-Man in a dress!! There's not much to say about the sculpt... Except that his hood would be perfect for a 200X skeletor. There's no paint slop on mine.
5.0

Accessories:
He-Man's got a gun... on big freaking gun!!
Here's where the figure shines. He has his own Power Sword (Wasted opportunity for a 1-tone silver sword) He has a rifle from the Bionatops toy and last but not least THE COSMIC KEY!!

How freaking cool is that!? It's a shame that the cosmic key was part of a Sub Exclusive and will not be reissued with Gwildor... If he gets made...
and Spector's might has been proven!
This figure is worth it just for the Cosmic Key alone! That accessory is so freaking cool that it makes all the Articulation flaws be easily ignored.
5.0
Overall:


4.17 for This He-Man that is hard to describe. He's a decent sub exclusive figure... Non-essential He-Man variant that only the hardcore (or those who REALLY want a Cosmic Key) would've  gotten. Aside his super hard skirt, he's a great figure who gives us Ninjor's armor! Put that sucker in Scareglow's buck, paint it in Ninjor colors add Ninjor's dragon tampo to the armor. Reuse Jitsu's sword and all we need is the nunckucks, heads and bow.
