Happy Monday! On this #MastersMonday we’re buzzing to share another figure from the vintage Mattel Masters of the Universe toy line, it’s Buzz-Off!
Buzz-Off was a figure I didn’t have as a kid, but thankfully I still had access to him through my friend’s collections. I was familiar with the character due to his appearance in the Filmation He-Man animated series where he showed up for a handful of episodes in season two. His semi-transparent techno wings were appealing. However, the extra eyes on his helmet seemed strange to me. The new clawed hands being used for a bee man also appeared unusual at the time. 😄
The cardback art above was once again done by Errol McCarthy. There was another version of this art. It was also used for Buzz-Off but was mirrored and missing his axe for some reason. The axe was a repaint of the one available with Castle Grayskull. I’m not sure why it was initially not included in the art.
