And they look like ASS!!
I want to be fair, but the toys look like garbage! I know I'm sounding a bit too harsh but they look like Deluxe Happy Meal toys!
I mean, LOOK AT THIS BOOTLEG OFFICIAL FIGURE... this looks more like a Mexican Bootleg than an official Mattel product. Before anyone tries to turn my argument into an anti-Mexican racist rant, shut the hell up! I'm not insulting Mexicans. This is a jab at Mattel distancing themselves so much from He-Man and making a product that looks more like it was cobbled up from parts from different toylines and given a lazy, yet weird paintjob that doesn't look anything like He-Man should. It kind of looks like they threw a lot of crap at a Bruce Timm style Justice League figure.
What's with the weird wasp face on his armor?
At least he resembles Skeletor a bit more than He-Man does... also, are they cheapening out on paint? Where's the nostril paint? Or the paint at the inner edges of his jaws?
This can't get any worse?
Battle Armor He-Man... what fo you expect to see when you hear that phrase?
Silver armor with the big H on the chest, a battle axe... well, no how about:
Battle Cat's armor on He-Man and carrying a sword that makes the 200x version Look elegant... wow this isn't as bad as Noelle Stevenson's bastardization of She-Ra, it's REALLY BAAD!!
Funny thing is that while these designs are not my cup of tea, they could look reasonable if they were made in a more realistic looking line... Masterverse, Origins, or even Classics. The overly exaggerated Bruce Timm inspired look for these don't help the designs much.
Sadly this new take on He-Man feels, from a visual standpoint, like it's being made by people who are ashamed of being working on He-Man... hopefully this cartoon will not be as awful, from a writing standpoint, as Noelle Stevenson's bastardization of She-Ra... but we better keep those expectations super duper low and I mean Zack Snyder making a good DC movie or Michael Bay making a good Transformers movie kind of low.
