On this #MastersMonday post from the archives, we’ve got the Mattel Masters of the Universe: Revelation Masterverse Savage He-Man!

This He-Man design from Masters Of The Universe Revelation is not nearly as familiar as other looks of the character over the past 40 years. While I really wanted to like this figure more, he is just not big & bulky enough when compared to other toylines (like this Diamond Select Hulk from Thor Ragnarok). Also, his facial expression says “Let’s go check the mail” and not “I’m a raging out-of-control monster right now”. 😄

Masters Of The Universe Revolution may no longer be a top animated series on Netflix, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop talking about it anytime soon.

On this #MastersMonday post from the archives, we’ve got the Mattel Masters of the Universe: Revelation Masterverse Faker!

The sneaky design of this Faker from Masters Of The Universe Revelation is definitely a first. For most of the past 40 years, “Faker” He-Man figures were mostly just He-Man figures repainted blue with some different orange armor… not someone who you would mistake for the genuine He-Man. Some releases have even been labeled as Faker, when they are based on the Filmation version which does actually look like He-Man, but with occasionally glowing robotic eyes. This release based on the Netflix series is a good mix of the ideas and captures his appearance when he is morphing in between the two looks to pull a fast one on the Sorceress.

Happy Monday! Kicking off this #MastersMonday, we’ve got another 1984 figure from the vintage Mattel Masters of the Universe toy line—it’s Kobra Khan!

Jitsu was among my favorite Evil Warrior figures during the MOTU adventures of my youth. This “Evil master of Snakes” was … I’ll update this post with more text at some point after vacation, but for now, it’s just this picture. 😀

On this #MastersMonday post from the archives, we’ve got the Mattel Masters of the Universe: Revelation Masterverse Beast Man!

This figure features an updated, but familiar design and is still pretty menacing for Duncan here. Just like with the 1987 live-action Beast Man, or the 2002 animated Beast Man, it just takes a moment and then you’ll appreciate the new design for the latest medium.

Jitsu

Recommended music: ZaharVips – Way of the Warrior

Happy Monday! Moving ahead this #MastersMonday, we’ve got another 1984 figure from the vintage Mattel Masters of the Universe toy line—it’s Jitsu!

Jitsu was also a figure in the regular rotation during MOTU adventures of my youth. This evil master of martial arts was basically Skeletor’s counterpart to Fisto with his spring-loaded right arm and oversized fist. Now you could have his palm down for a high-five or slapping action, but more than likely, you rotated the hand ninety degrees to demonstrate Jitsu’s signature karate chop.

Also, like Fisto, Jitsu came in a deluxe 2-pack with the evil version of Stridor, Night Stalker. Even if you acquired the two separately, it was always nice to know who is supposed to be riding in the big robotic horse. Jitsu’s inclusion in one lone episode of the Filmation He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series didn’t even bother to name-check the character, so his popularity in your arsenal of evil warriors was definitely based on his look and action feature and not a cartoon. ✋

Also on this #MastersMonday from the archives, we’ve got this Masters of the Universe: Revelation Masterverse Teela!

This Teela figure is based on her design from after the first episode of Masters Of The Universe Revelation when Teela has had her world flipped upside down and starts a new life with a new look.

Masters Of The Universe Revolution may no longer the top animated series on Netflix, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop talking about it any time soon.

On this #MastersMonday post from the archives, we’ve got the Mattel Masters of the Universe: Revelation Masterverse Spikor!

This figure retains a pretty classic Spikor design and is still pretty menacing for Fisto here. Masters Of The Universe Revolution may no longer be the top animated series on Netflix, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop talking about it anytime soon.
