REVIEW: MATTEL’S MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE REVELATION WAVE 1
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
MATTEL’S MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE REVELATION WAVE 1!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re taking a look at some of the figures from the first wave of Masters of The Universe Revelation figures by Mattel! He-Man, Skeletor, SkeleGod and the beastly Battle Cat, to be precise. Masters of the Universe Revelation is the title of the recent Netflix show by Kevin Smith, so obviously, if there’s a new show, there’s gonna be new figures! If you have not seen the show yet, I’d skip reading this review! (You can always just look at the pretty pictures, though!)
The packaging for those figures is really nice
Battle Cat is HUGE
First, He-Man, aka Prince Adam (SPOILERS, especially since it was the main point of that show…). He-Man comes with his Power Sword, a shield, and an extra set of arms. Like many have mentioned before, those figures tend to have a small head compared to their body, but it’s not bothering me too much. I just had a little brown paint from his furry shorts that ended up on the leg, the classic paint app issue.

“Fabulous, secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said: ‘By the Power of Grayskull!’”… That is such a normal thing to do, grab random items and hold them up saying ‘By the Power of Grayskull’. I try all the time at home, with wooden spoons, a chair, a cat…
I HAVE THE POWEEEEER!
The reason why our generation can open bras so easily…
That dude gotta stay away from the spray tan… He’s freaking orange!
What would He-Man be without Skeletor? (apart from peace and quiet, harmony in his kingdom and all that). Voiced by Mark Hamill, yes, THAT Mark Hamill in the new show, Skeletor was actually way more efficient than he has ever been in the old Filmation cartoons. He actually managed to do something, this time! The figure comes with extra hands, his Havoc Staff and the ‘transformation staff’ he used in the show.

That Skeletor was no joke! That cape, however, kinda is.
Revelation Skeletor, sponsored by Colgate. Look at those pearly whites!
“Come in, you royal boob!”
“Everything I do is for the sake of EVIL!”
The following figure turned out to be a massive spoiler. However, until I saw the show, I just assumed it was a fun figure design that they were releasing to get more bigger figures on the shelves. At the end of the Part 1 of Masters of the Universe Revelation, Skeletor actually won, grabbed the Power Sword and yelled “By the Power of Grayskull!” before turning into a gigantic ‘SkeleGod’. He comes with extra hands, a Power Sword and a big green flame effect for his hand.

Now, I… Skeletor…
… am MASTER OF THE UNIVEEEERSE!”
The cape had a nice design, with some plastic parts that hold it down
“I HAVE THE POWEEEEEEEER!”””
His neck and the green flame effect are made of transluscent green plastic, and look really cool when hit with lights.
“Oooh, green cotton candy! Don’t mind if I do…”
Finally, the Deluxe Cringer aka Battle Cat (SPOILERS!) is a HUGE toy. Seriously, the box is humongous. The figure has great articulations, scales perfectly with the other figures and you can remove the armor to reveal a normal Cringer. We are far from the unarticulated Big Jim tiger painted in green from our childhood!

That is a big ol’ Cat!
Articulated mouth, to roar at the enemies! ROAAAAR!
Armor removable to reveal Cringer
“Oh no, what am I going to do? I am so scared!”
“Fear not, Cringer as I will shoot you with my Sword - Wait, what?!"
“ROAAAAR!”
That is 100% going to be displayed like that on the shelf.
New He-Man content and figures are flooding the shelves, with the arrival of a second, more kid-friendly show on Netflix. One thing is for sure, we have not heard the last from He-Man and Skeletor. What a time to be a Masters of the Universe fan!
The first wave also had Evil-Lyn and Moss Man, and the second wave, which should be coming out very soon will have Teela, Man-at-Arms, Beast Man and Spikor.
More news at 11:00… BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!
