 guys welcome back to comic edin this week's review is the 1983 masters of the universe he man masters universe course started in the early 80s and their star was a very Conan-esque looking character named he man I was followed up by a animated series in the 80s and it was so popular it outsold every child's toy out there at the time actually the universe has been so popular over the years it made her return in 2000 they also came out with a commemorative series which was remolding of the original vintage figures Mattel did a revamp of the actual figure one with their master universe classics but this is the man that started it all so let's go ahead and go over all these awesome details about the strongest man in the universe he man his sculpt was pretty basic but really awesome for the day he had this awesome painted blonde hair this look on his face that he was just you know ready to protect the universe and kicks some serious but sculpted muscles had the six-pack going here the paint jobs on the figures were always really bright and crisp and I'm lucky to still actually have my original he man who is still pretty bright and crisp articulation this was around you know the 80s so it's you're not gonna have a whole lot it's your basic five point articulation for the most part you could head would go left turn all the way around his arms would go swivel up and down the legs which are on a rubber band aid banded a rubber band didn't have much movement you can sway but it was gonna have pretty much a squatting pose now something that pretty much every master universe figure had an action feature most of them had the same action feature he man had a spring waist you would turn them and wham now if I can get them there we go you can tell mine is still very very springy too I've taken very good care of this guy the figures always came with their own unique accessories here we have I'm not gonna do it because it's painted remove but it has a removable vest so he may also came with some other accessories one of which was his battle axe which in the animated series he didn't really ever use that was because he man used this in the mini comics that's right this figure came with an accessory I don't currently have on me a mini comic book a story explain who the character wise and you know his battles with Skeletor another accessory he came with his power sword now the power sword as you can tell is really cool it's made of a solid plastic however it was unique in the fact that it wasn't complete that's because his arch enemy Skeletor came with the other half of the power sword these two could be combined to form a full sword and I'll go ahead and try to get these connected now these never ever really fully connected for me I think it was a nifty idea this always happened to me but it was still needed the fact that you could get a full power sword here now what you would do is you would take the full power sword and place it in Castle Grayskull to lower the jaw bridge and that was a pretty unique feature to have at the time another cool accessory he man came with was his shield the shield was really much just a solid plastic except on the backing and tell the original was two pieces with just a bright orange piece of paper now the shield would fit in he man's left hand and just clip to his wrist like you could then take he man's powers acts place it in his right and you can store his power sword in the back like so and then he was ready to do battle Skeletor is evil minions beware some of the detailing on this guy the paint on most of these figures were always bright and vibrant now there were a few things that Mattel would kind of forget about I guess and so sometimes a figure like he man would have these bracers on his wrists but they're a flesh colored and not painted something else Mattel would always do is reuse parts so you might actually get the same arms on another figure just painted different but they always used pretty much the same buck the he man figures as cool as they are they're pretty expensive now master universe is still really popular there's a plan movie which has been well let's face a plan for about 20 years but you there's still pretty much available on sites like eBay depending on the figure such as a complete he man with all his complete original accessories unopened a total is going to cost you a minimum of around $50 in really good shape like this and unrepair it can run close it could run hundreds so very pricey figure I was lucky enough to only have to pay $30 to complete mine which was the sword I'm sorry this yeah the sword the vest and the weapon the shield had the battle axe so but this was my original he man so I didn't have to spend a whole lot but there you are he man from the original vintage masters of the universe collection happy hunting hit that subscribe button make sure you hit the like
