It came from the Toy Chest: I want to speak to the He-Man-ager

 


Habemus Thunder Punch He-Man from the New Eternia Line. My favorite Vintage Variant has a Masterverse figure, so let's check it out.

These are also the first ICftTC pics with the new phone, so quality might've changed.

Articulation:
As a Masterverse figure you know what to expect. The arm braces hinder articulation a bit. Noteworthy point I need to make my arms were super ultra stiff at the elbows. Had to remove the braces to try and work out those joints.
4.5


Paint and sculpt:
The detailings on the armor look great, but no matter how great its sculpt; It's ruined by a shitty Paint job. Here we have a case of that. Namely the He-Man head.
I praised this headsculpt when it came out on the Faker, but here it looks horrendous. I blame the exaggerated shading on the figure and the badly tampographed eyes and eyebrows. It hurts me having to rate Thunderpunch He-Man lower...
4.0


Accessories:
Removable Arm braces
Golden Power Sword 
Thunder shield (requires braces to hold... boo!)
2 blast cap rings
2 Fists
2 Punching effects

Aside the Shield requiring the new braces, everything else is perfect.
5.0


Overall:
He-Man gets a 4.5 as his final score. I am heavily disappointed at that Score. It should have been a bit higher. Had the paint job on the face being a lot better. This figure would have knocked it out of the park.
