Slowly, I'm getting a version of Core MOTU characters in Masterverse style. I MAY get Origins Ram Man instead, due to the Masterverse Rammy breaking pants. But I have to deal with Adam and Whiplash for now:
Whiplash is a big and strong reptilian brute, the demonic leader of the Caligar and a conqueror...
On the other hand, Adam is Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull. Fabulous Secret Powers were revealed to him the day he held aloft his magic sword and said: "By the power of Grayskull!" He became He-Man: The Most Powerful Man in the Universe!
Yes I paraphrased the intro of the 80s intro.
Articulation:
Whiplash has Standard articulation with the addition of a single swivel point at the tail. I believe the tail is slightly bendy. Not rigid like MOTUC or 200X, but not chewy like Vintage. I haven't handled his Origins counterpart so I cannot comment there, but he apparently hard...
Whiplash: 4.5
Adam on the other hand has less articulation due to his wimpy frame and shirt. The Hasbro elbow reduces the articulation a smidge.
Adam: 4.0
Paint and sculpt:
Whiplash looks amazing! He's vintage inspired but not too close to accurate. He's different enough to feel somewhat exciting. Still 200X is the superior version.
Whiplash: 5.0
Adam on the other hand is based on Revelation, so he has a more spray tanned complexion and Cheez Whiz colored hair.
Adam: 4.5
Accessories:
Whiplash has alternate hands, his spear, an axe, a torch with removable flame, removable bracers, removable loincloth, removable chest armor, and removable helmet.
Whiplash 5.0
He-Man: Really? You attacked a child!? Not any child, but a PoC child!! You're so getting canceled! Don't worry, Cutie, I'll avenge you! Whiplash: OK, it's a jab against Netflix... |
Adam on the other hand has an alternate head, alternate hands, his Power Sword, and a Clear Powersword with glitter.
Adam: 4.0
Overall:
Whiplash gets a mighty 4.83 as his final score. Had he gotten more neck articulation, he might have been perfect.
Whiplash: See you next fall! He-Man: I've fallen and I can't get up! Just kidding! Huh, I forgotten about my dagger. Maybe I should use it for a change! |
Adam on the other habd gets a 4.17 as his final score. It's a good score, but it could've been a bit better. Wonder if a New Eternia Adam would make me reconsider my 1 version of a character rule for masterverse.
He-Man: Give it up, walking Handbag... Whiplash: PETA will hear about this! He-Man: call them! Their ridiculously high kill to save ratio will ensure you are no longer a threat... |
Filler text is filler because I ran out of review... Whiplash is so photogenic.
Teela: Llegó la hoja del Bigoteeeeeeee!! He-Man: Shit, we're so getting canceled! Whiplash: Fuck this shit I'm out! |
