Recommended music: Cringer – Sunday
For this post from the archives, we’ve got the penultimate pick on my top 10 action figures from 2024. At #2, it’s the Mattel Masters Of The Universe Origins Cartoon Collection Cringer!
Yes, there was a “Cringer” figure in the Masters of the Universe Classics line back in 2011. However, he was underscaled and lacked articulation. There have also been custom Cringer heads to put on full-size Battle Cat figures as well. However, this is the first time that Mattel has put out a Cringer with articulation for fun cartoony poses. It is the perfect scale for a Prince Adam figure. They both look like they stepped right out of the 1983 Filmation He-Man animated series. I don’t normally collect this line, but when I saw the promotional pics this past spring, I knew I had to have this pair in the collection.
Honorable mention goes to the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection He-Man, as Mattel really got the look and colors right this time around, and also to the MOTU Origins Collector Vehicle, which looks great, but I didn’t include it on this year’s list as I decided to keep it to figures only.
