Definitely a nice commanding and distinguished figure. I never was quite sold on a guy with a big fist as a kid, but it is a nice figure. He has TriKlop's sword. One thing is the use of purple, which is not really something you look at as a secondary color as a heroic color. Its a nice look for him.

They over-armed the Jet Sled (Those lower guns were barely visible on the original) and under-armed the Wind Raider.

They all look pretty amazing :-)
Faker is my favorite :-)
*Edit* As far as Windraider is concerned, as a kid I pretended that front thing was like Chewbaccas crossbow.

RetroBlasting smacks down Spector Creative.
Key points: Reboots are done by less talented people than those in charge of the original story Classic's unified story bad and damages the legacy of MotU Scott's self-insert is cringe and of course way over powered Scott used his power to be self-indulgent at the head of Classics instead of getting desirable figures made Scott convinced Mattel many IP had no future at retail Scott main purpose online is to curry favor with toy makers to get back in the game

Retroblasting guy I appreciate his toy restoration/preservation stuff, but he's always been a bit of a smug prick. Remember his starting fame was bitching about Kenner Star Wars accessories from the 80's. The way he dismisses all reboots as bad or lazy, but that's dismissal is also an easy and lazy thing to do. 2002 MOTU needed to be a reboot, because 80's cartoon was lightweight, overly prosocial and didn't use or barely used half the characters from the vintage line. Also, the minicomics as a different continuity were messy. That said, I was never crazy about KING GRAYSKULL. Mattel being corporate douches, no surprise. Neitlich was probably right in some sense about Classics not being retail viable...at least in the long term. All those New Adventures figures and all-new characters would've stalled at retail the wave unwanted Marvel Legends do. Scott Neitlich wanted to go the distance with Classics. I think a retail line never would've made as many figures as the Matty Collector method did. Then again, their one retail attempt was the the dumb DC vs packs where the DC characters weren't even made in the same style as MOTUC, they were just reissues/repaints of existing DC figures. So it's not like they really tried. Packaged Wave 7 pics at Toy News International.

Kind of killed the series killing He-Man twice.
Teela is ugly.
Orkos dead...why are we watching again?
I actually like most of the animation in the series, but why did they make Teela soooooo ugly?
I don't get it, because Evil Lyn looks decent.

Teela is stunning and brave, Felix. What are you talking about ?!?!?! LOL
The Battle Warrior pack from Target did ship, so I managed to get it seemingly and all before this netflix nonsense came down as well.

I wouldn't let what happened with Kevin Smiths fan-fiction have anything to do with your enjoyment of MOTU.
I still love my figures.

Man-E-Faces performs a few tricks. Orko and Cringer get scared off, but they come back when they see Prince Adam laughing. Orko asks Man-E-Faces, "How did you become like this?" He replied, "Long ago, I was foolish. I trusted an old wizard who told me that there was a black curse spreading across the lands. And that he had the magic potion cure. So I begged the old wizard for the magic potion, and he gave it to me. But the wizard turned out to be Skeletor, and the magic potion was the CURSE! Now I have to live with this monster inside me, and I'm no longer human, but a mutated monster cyborg, always fighting the curse of Skeletor!" Prince Adam is the only one that thinks it's funny, lol :-)
