Masters Of The Universe 40th Anniversary Masterverse He-Man Review

 

Last year, and apparently this year as well, Mattel is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Masters Of The Universe franchise with this new action figure. Until this purchase, I hadn't bought any of the action figures from Mattel's Masterverse toy line so I'm on new ground, let's see what I think of this new He-Man.

Masters Of The Universe Classics God Skeletor By Super7 Action Figure Review

Unfortunately today we have the last figure in Super7's Masters Of The Universe Classics: The Motion Picture action figures wave. I've already reviewed Commander Karg, Rebel Leader He-Man, and Dark Despot Skeletor, all characters from the Masters Of The Universe: The Motion Picture which leaves us with God Skeletor.

Masters Of The Universe Classics Rebel Leader He-Man by Super7 Action Figure Review

In the year of 1987, I was a young five and my dad brought my brother and me to the movies to see Masters Of The Universe: The Motion Picture. While I can understand why many MOTU fans were disappointed by the movie I was not one of them. I loved everything about it, especially He-Man and Skeletor. Eventually, my Mom bought me Blade and Gwildor action figures that came from the movie but the two figures I always wanted were a movie He-Man and Skeletor, it took me 33 years but I finally have my ultimate most wanted toys as a kid, but is He-Man everything I wanted?

Masters Of The Universe Classics Dark Despot Skeletor by Super7 Action Figure Review

I was very happy last year when Super7 announced that they would be releasing new MOTU Classics action figures based upon the 1987 Masters Of The Universe Motion Picture. While I'm grateful for the changes to Commander Karg, I was really looking forward to He-Man and Skeletor. Keep reading to see if Dark Despot Skeletor would have blown my 5-year-old mind.

Masters Of The Universe Classics Commander Karg by Super7 Action Figure Review

After nearly a year of waiting, I finally received my "William Stout" Masters Of The Universe Classics Movie figures. I put the William Stout in quotes because when they were originally revealed they were called the William Stout Collection but these figures only say "Classics Collection" on the sides of the packaging.

I'm starting with Karg because he's technically the only repaint figure, God Skeletor is a repaint but he is still new and not a previously released figure like Karg. Like I always say, how does this movie variant of Karg compare to the original release?

Masters Of The Universe Classics Blade Review

When the Masters Of The Universe Classics line launched in 2008 one of the big things I wanted was new figures from the Masters Of The Universe The Motion Picture, and as I type this any day that dream will finally come true. I was also looking for Mattel to release new MOTUC versions of the movie characters that were released in 1987. I've already reviewed Gwildor and Saurod, as well as Karg who is the first new movie toy, but I've left Blade for last.

Masters Of The Universe Classics Karg (Comic Book Variant) Action Figure Review

Today we have a very special figure from the Masters Of The Universe Classics action figure line from Super7. Karg is the first action figure from the 1987 Masters Of The Universe film that wasn't a figure from the vintage line and from what we just found out from the 2019 New York Toy Fair he won't be the last.

Super7 Masters Of The Universe Willaim Stout Collection Action Figure Preorders Now Available

Masters Of The Universe Classics Movie Action Figures Reveal by Super7

While I haven't talked about it a lot my favorite movie of all time is the 1987 Live Action Masters Of The Universe movie as anyone who knows me knows. While it wasn't quite what people wanted when it came out, no Battlecat or Orko among other things, I loved it and still do.

Anyway, over the years MattyCollector and now Super7 have released some figures from that -------------------movie. Originally they put out a Blade, Saurod, and Gwildor which were expected since they were released in the original toy line. Finally, at the end of last year, Super7 released Karg, the first action figure released from the movie that never had a figure.

Saurod From Masters Of The Universe Classics Action Figure Review

Saurod is a bad guy from the Masters Of The Universe motion picture from 1987. In the movie, he is one of Skeletor's henchmen who after botching a mission to capture He-Man and the Key is killed by Skeletor. Saurod, along with Blade and Gwildor, were new characters developed just for the movie and had their own figures in the original Masters Of The Universe toy line.

Gwildor Masters Of The Universe Classics Action Figure Review

Gwildor is a character from Mattel's  Masters Of The Universe property first appearing in the now-classic 1987 live-action movie. This action figure was released on December 15th, 2015 as part of Mattel's Masters Of The Universe Classics toy line. How does this action figure compare to his original 1987 release??
