It’s #MastersMonday, and it’s been just over a year since Masters of the Universe: Revolution was the top animated TV show on Netflix!
This Masterverse Revelation He-Man from Mattel sports a custom head I picked up at #PowerCon a few years back and a power sword I chromed for some extra shine.

Happy Monday! This #MastersMonday, we’re moving on from 1983 and looking at 1984 releases from the vintage Masters of the Universe toy line, starting with Battle Armor He-Man!
This was one of the first figures in my childhood MOTU collection. It could have even been THE first. I received one for my birthday at the ripe old age of three. 😄 (The photo exists somewhere.) Even though this armor breastplate look for He-Man was not used in any mini-comics or the Filmation animated series, it was used in enough books and packaging art to become my preferred look for He-Man.
The action feature in the chest is a three-sided drum that rolls to reveal more damage until you roll it back to “repair” He-Man to full strength. This feature was only reused once for Battle Armor Skeletor, but it remains a fun and unique aesthetic forty-one years after its US release date.
