The TFSS 4.0 has already started, much earlier than previous
subs for the line. This is mainly due to Funpub trying to rush out one more sub
before year’s end which I’m not sure was a good idea, but we will see how it
works out. Anyway Let’s get a closer look at our first figure, Needlenose,
along with his Targetmaster minions.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now Needlenose himself is a repaint of Combiner Wars
Firefly. It’s a Club toy, what do you expect? Much like most of the Club toys
we’ve gotten, his paintjob is done exceptionally well. Plenty of paint apps
grace the wings and tail fins with various types of striping and Con sigils on
the tail fins in a unique twist. The nose of the jet is completely painted
blue, and I mean they actually painted it blue, not molded. The cockpit is done
up in red which looks very nice. All in all the jet mode looks great and does a
wonderful job of homaging the G1 toy.<o:p></o:p></div>

Needlenose also has a very sharp looking robot mode, with
lots of paint plastered on his body. From what I can tell, every bit of color
on this toy’s body, save for a couple joint parts, is painted on, but for all
the paint on him, Needlenose’s chest is very bare. Most of the paint went to
his solid purple arms, and his very well painted shins. Oh yea, the cod piece
got a splash of blue as well. The head feels like it’s were the real magic
happens though. Truth be told, it is the exact same head as Firefly, but
somehow, that yellow face and the lack of silver on the top make Needlenose
look so wildly different from the bot he was repainted from. I almost have to
do a double take to be sure it is the same sculpt. Of course, if you think I’m
crazy for this, you might be right, who knows.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a combiner limb who is destined to be a part of
Thunder Mayhem, Needlenose can become an arm or leg, and he does well in either
mode. This shouldn’t be a surprise given how this mold fared well with each of
the past iterations, especially as an arm. I do find Needlenose’s colors go great
with Galvatronus, which has me wanting two of him and two of Spinister to make
a powerful looking Galvatron combiner.<o:p></o:p></div>

Along with the normal gun and hand/foot gun, Needlenose
comes with his two Targetmasters, Sunbeam and Zputty (Zigzag). These are repaints
of Scoop’s Targetmasters, Tracer and Caliburst (Holepunch), so if you have
Scoop, you know what to expect from these guys. They are easy to transform into
weapon mode and can also combine. Cool thing is, they are also able to combine
with Needlenose’s other weapons to make a pair of super guns. The hand/foot gun
can be tough to get into the port on either Targetmaster’s handle, but the look
is worth it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Needlenose is a great start to the new sub. And I can’t wait
for the next figure to arrive, which should be soon. Funpub said they will try
to get these out as quickly as they can, so if you do have a subscription, keep
your eyes on your mailbox because you never know who’s coming next.<o:p></o:p></div>

As the Combiner Wars line winds down to a close we find
ourselves ending off with another 84 wave. This time however, there is an
oddity among them. An 85 character has for some reason joined the final group and

Smokescreen is a strait repaint of Prowl, which sadly is
most obvious when you see the molded in light bar on the roof of the vehicle
mode. Having the light bar sculpted in never bothered me for Streetwise or Prowl,
but Smokescreen now has me wishing it was a separate piece that plugged into
the 5mm port that’s just an inch behind it. The paint job is the G1 red white
and blue with the number 38 tampoed onto the hood and sides of the car. It’s
nice but very simple, with none of the head or tail lights picked out and
unfortunate chunks of the red and right missing due to the unpaintable plastic
pieces. On the positive side, the
hubcaps are painted a nice silver to give this car some much needed style. <o:p></o:p></div>

In Robot mode, Smokescreen looks like a blue Prowl.
Seriously, from the front he looks about 95% unpainted, with only the head and
chest plate showing any new paint apps whatsoever. It’s sad to think that most
of the paint went to vehicle mode and doesn’t have much to show for it. Still
this is the Dead End mold and as such has some great articulation. He has a
ball jointed head, ball jointed shoulders, bicep swivels, 90 degree elbows,
waist swivel, ball jointed hips, thigh swivels and 90 degree knees, so at least
you can get your blue man in a few good poses. Accessories are the same as
Prowls, a gunmetal shotgun and a black hand/foot gun. Not a bad weapon set for
Smokescreen.<o:p></o:p></div>

Again, being the Dead End mold works well for this toy since
he can easily fill either the arm or leg configurations in combined mode. I
find he can work especially well as a part of Ultra Prime, given how his reds
and blues work just right to make a nice Optimus arm or leg. I do however prefer this mold as an arm, it’s
nice and bulky in the right parts and it articulates so well.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you missed out on Universe Smokescreen, CW Smokescreen
will be a welcome addition to you Classics shelf. If you do have the Universe
version though, this does not quite measure up. Still I can’t help but top hope
that a Bluestreak repaint is on the way to round out this trio as the Datsuns
are just like the Seekers, you need a full set when a new version is released.<o:p></o:p></div>

Club Grayskull is back again and this month it has brought
us the walking Swiss army knife himself, Trap Jaw. This actually surprised me a
bit as I was expecting Matty to release Beastman as the first villain of the
subline. It’s a nice treat since I’m fonder of ol’ Trappy than I am of Beast
man. It also has been quite a while since Trap Jaw has been seen in the line,
only having one figure beforehand, so this is a fine opportunity for new fans
to get a hold of this classic character.<o:p></o:p></div>

Much like He-Man before him, Trap Jaw has a very simple
sculpt. Plenty of flat surfaces all over his armor and robotic arm, which works
for the more cartoonish aesthetic of the toy. Colors are also quite simple with
a bright blue body, and a mix of red, green and black for the armor and mecha
arm. It is an accurate look to the old cartoon, yet fans only familiar with the
toys or more modern media may be a little perplexed with the red arm and shin
guards. Most of, if not all of Trap Jaws previous toys had a black robot arm
and legs, while the 80’s cartoon added the red to make him more colorful. I
personally like this variation as it helps him pop a little more.<o:p></o:p></div>

The head sculpt is also well done. He still has that awesome
green face and those beady eyes, but now has thicker eyebrows. The jaw is once
again hinged so it can open and close, but the inside of the mouth is painted
black, again to better represent the cartoon. Sorry if you were expecting a

For articulation, Trap Jaw basically has the same points as
He-man, except for the robot arm, ball jointed head, universal left shoulder,
left bicep swivel, left elbow, left wrist with a hinge on the left hand, ab
crunch, waist swivel, universal hips, thigh swivel, knee bends, hinged ankles
and ankle pivots. The robot arm on the right just has a universal shoulder and
a swivel where the weapons plug in. It’s not bad and you can get some nice action
poses with it. <o:p></o:p></div>

Trap Jaw has three accessories, which all relate to the
weapon swap gimmick that has been a staple for the character. He has a blaster,
a bow, and a flyswatter, and as crazy as this mix seems, these are all items he
used in the show. Each weapon can plug or unplug from the robotic arm quite
easily, giving you even more posing options. If you happen to have the previous
Trap Jaw, Roboto, or Hurricane Hordak, you can use any of their weapons with
this Trap Jaw as well, or vice versa. It’s a nice feature, that adds a wide
variety of possibilities.<o:p></o:p></div>

The only real downside I can find to Trap Jaw is the fact
that none of his armor can be removed, not even his belt. It’s not a big deal,
but I normally enjoy the ability to mix and match the accessories the figures
have so this is a bit of a bummer. <o:p></o:p></div>

All in all, Trap Jaw is a very cool figure and a worthy
addition to any He-Man fan’s collection. I’m really fond of the filmation look
and can’t wait until the next figure is released. Sadly, this one is sold out
at Mattycollector, so if you didn’t subscribe, you may need to search ebay or
amazon for him. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Combiner Wars are coming to a close and rather than
releasing one more famous Combiner in the retail line, Hasbro has chosen to
instead to finish the line with some well-known characters from G1, and the
final Voyager is one other than Skylynx.
This figure has been hyped up by fans for a while. We were all surprised
that he was even getting a new figure since his G1 incarnation was reissued in
Takara’s Encore line and holds up well to this very day. Still, a new take on
Skylynx is quite welcome, although this one doesn’t quite live up to the hype
it was given.<o:p></o:p></div>

Starting off with the Shuttle mode, which happens to be his
strongest form, Skylynx does look good here. The Shuttle is quite accurate to
his G1 self with some nice updates to modernize him a bit. The sculpt is well
done with plenty of details to gush over. A very sleek and stylish shuttle with
that G1 accurate cargo box on the bottom. Sadly, the box does not remove,
eliminating the split robot mode gimmick of the old toy. There are some extra
tailfins on the back that weren’t on the old toy, but if they bother you, you
can pop them off easily. The majority of the color scheme come from the plastic
colors as there is very little paint on this toy, just gold details on the
shuttle with big Autobot badges on the wings. The colors are just right though

Skylynx’s robot mode is the combined robot form of the G1
toy, and the characters most iconic. Robot mode looks good as well, but it’s
here we begin to see problems coming up for the toy. As I mentioned, the cargo
box can’t come off so he can’t split into the bird and lynx modes he had in G1.
This is the sad result of the voyager size as well as the combiner gimmick he
was instead saddled with. That said the robot mode is nice, and a fine
representation of Skylynx for the Voyager price point. Colors are spot on and I
like the gold inside the mouth. The wings actually flip over to form more
birdlike wings which is an honest improvement over the old toy. <o:p></o:p></div>

What isn’t an improvement, however, is how the midsection is
so blatantly hollow that it’s way too easy to find an angle where you can see
right through him. It’s his biggest problem and a huge detraction for the toy,
but he has others. The tail is rather short, but the sword weapons can be used
to extend it, which is a nice touch. Sadly, there is no cure for the
incorrectly digit-graded hind legs, which look pretty bad, what’s worse is the
designers did this intentionally for the sake of the combined mode. It’s a
bothersome flaw that can be a bit distracting from the wrong angle.<o:p></o:p></div>

Skylynx does have some good articulation. His neck has 3
hinges as well as a swivel to look all around with. Front legs have ratcheted
universal shoulders, bicep swivels, ratcheted elbows, and toe movement. The
wings can flap and the tips swivel for good posing options. The hind legs are a
bit more limited though, with only forward and backward movement at the hip,
thigh swivel, ratcheted elbows and toe movement. And lastly the tail has a
couple hinges to move up and down with.
You can get some good poses out of Skylynx and I do appreciate that.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now it’s time to meet Skyreign. You know, it’s real sad that
all the sacrifices Skylynx made to get a combined form resulted in the worst
torso mode in the line. I know most say that Prime/Motormaster had the worst
torso, but Skylynx beats them by a mile and a half. The hollow midsection is
still present and glaring. There is an attempt to hide it behind an abdominal
panel, but it doesn’t quite work. Skylynx also suffers from loose joints. They are
tight enough for robot mode, but when combined into Skyreign, they flop all
about. This is a real problem when posing him, as you tend to move Skylynx’s
joints instead of the combiner’s. At least Motormaster had an implied locking
point for his shoulder connections, Skylynx doesn’t even have that. There is a
detent where Skyreign’s shoulders are supposed to lock, but they don’t lock and
there is nothing even implied to keep them in place. The look is ok, but im not
fond of how the shuttle is pretty much just hanging off the back. You can
adjust Skylynx’s neck joints to make a beefy tail for Skyreign, which works
better in my opinion. Best part about this form is the head sculpt, which
homages the lynx mode head from the original toy, it looks awesome. The weapons
can combine to form a sword for Skyreign, and it looks like a decent weapon.
All in all, this is a figure you get for the individual robot, not the
combiner.<o:p></o:p></div>

Skylynx on his own is an ok figure to have. Both vehicle and
robot modes look good enough to fit just fine on a Classics shelf. Just don’t
bother combining it, that can only bring disappointment. Still, I can’t help
but to wonder what he’d be like if got a fully tricked out Leader class figure
instead of this Voyager class one. Would a Leader class Skylynx with no
combiner gimmick do better? This is a question I’d like to find the answer to.<o:p></o:p></div>

uncertain if not doubtful that we would ever see vehicles in the line, and then
the Windraider came along and changed everything. Now it seems like vehicles
are becoming a yearly thing for the line and in 2014, we were given not just a
vehicle, but a playset as well, as the Talon Fighter and its perch, Point
Dread, made their modern day debut.<o:p></o:p></div>

The first thing that needs to be noted on this set is the
packaging, because it is gorgeous. The front of the box features a beautiful
artwork of the Talon fighter with battles going on all around it. It’s truly a
breathtaking sight. The back has some simple line art of not only what’s in the
box, but of other figures in the line as well. It is a nice nod to the
packaging of the original MOTU toy line, while also providing a much more
interesting delivery of the cross-buys. <o:p></o:p></div>

Before we look at either Point Dread or the Talon fighter,
let’s look at the included Teela figure. Yeah you are getting a figure as well.
This is as complete of a package as it gets.
This version of Teela is based on her appearances in the Filmation
cartoon, which is oddly appropriate given how a new Filmation based line was
released this year. Now despite what many reviewers and fans have said, I
honestly like this Teela. While the lips do seem a little thicker than they
should be, the head sculpt is not nearly as bad as it was made out to be. I’ll
admit that it is easy to find a bad angle for it, some even make her look like
she played Marsha Brady for the football scene. You can get good angles for her
as well. The body is pretty much Teela’s outfit from the cartoons, and it looks
pretty good. Much like Filmation He-man, it has a very simple vibe, but not
quite as simple as He-man is. Teela really does look her best with Filmation
He-man. Having them together makes all her flaws seem far lass noticeable.<o:p></o:p></div>

For accessories, Teela has a sword and shield. Very simple
in design, again going with that Filmation vibe. Still, it’s nice to be able to
arm her up and have her able to go into battle. She also includes an alternate
head with pilot’s helmet. The face on this head is very pretty, better than the
normal head’s face, although it’s hard to say why. The helmet looks like a
standard royal guard helmet with wing designs sculpted in. It also has a
removable visor. It’s a fitting add on and I’m glad to have it.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Talon fighter is gigantic. This may be the biggest
vehicle we have gotten in the MOTUC line to date. It’s a big fat fighter jet
that probably wouldn’t stand a chance of getting off the ground in real life.
I’d say it would have a better shot of being a Thanksgiving turkey than a jet. But
the fiction says it works, so I guess it works for He-man and Teela. All joking
aside the sculpt is pretty good. Many bird like details in the wings, head and
feet. I really do like the bird head on the front, very fierce. This thing is
armed too, four guns ready to take out enemy aircraft or ground troops. There
is also a satellite dish on top which makes me wonder if Man-at-arms was drunk
when he designed this thing. I mean, is it supposed to be a radar dish or an
air-break? You can rotate the dish a full 360 if you desire, but it’s still a
weird place for it. Inside is amazing. Just about everything is sculpted in and
painted. Lot of control panels on the front seat while the back has tools and a
first aid kit sculpted in. I kinda wish these were removable, but that would be
asking a lot. There are also some decals on the sides of the back seat for more
control panels, and you get a choice of three more for a monitor in the front.
I like having the option, but I’m also sad that I can only choose once. Again
asking a lot, but swappable panels would have been awesome.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Talon fighter is typically a two seater, although there
are ways to get 3 in there. The back seat is actually quite spacious, giving
you plenty of room for two female figures, or if you wish have a male and

Last but not least let’s have a look at Point Dread. It
looks like a small fort that’s meant to be on a mountaintop, which is how I
think it’s supposed to look so good job there. There are stairs sculpted on the
front but they are completely superfluous because good luck getting anybody to
stand on them. They are too thin and too small to be used which is a shame but
with how much went into the Talon Fighter I can let that slide. The interior is
quite simple, a single room with a wooden floor, with the only piece of
furniture being a computer control panel. Still get a nice couch and decent
satellite service in here and He-man has a man-cave away from home. <o:p></o:p></div>

On top is a perch for the Talon Fighter. It’s a nice perch
which can rotate freely, making it easy to take off in any direction. The Talon
Fighter actually clips into the perch and you need to pull a small release
lever to get it off. This is a great feature given how heavy the Talon fighter
is. Without that clip I could easily see the bird taking a nosedive in a
moment’s notice.<o:p></o:p></div>

Point Dread can actually split into two parts, with the top
half able to clip onto castle Grayskull. It fits on snugly, but doesn’t clip in
as solidly as it does onto its other half. The castle also looks quite
ridiculous with Point Dread and the Talon fighter on top of it, given how big
the fighter is.<o:p></o:p></div>

All in all, this set is quite nice, if a little odd. The
Talon Fighter does look cool, Point Dread makes for a good small base, and this
may be the best chance newcomers to the line have at getting a Teela. It does
come at a steep price, but I do feel it’s worth it, and if you’re a fan of the
line, this will be a great addition to your collection.<o:p></o:p></div>

Way back when Battle Armor King Hssss vs Snake Armor He-Man
was introduced, Hssss was designed to include an upgraded version of his snake
form. Unfortunately, due to higher than acceptable costs, that piece had to be
cut from the set with the promise that the piece would be included with a
future release. As time passed, fans like myself began to wonder if we’d really
see the new snake form. Around Comic-con, it was announced that the new snake
form would indeed be released, as part of its own figure, and on February of
2016, we at last have Serpentine King Hssss.<o:p></o:p></div>

This new form of King Hssss is quite interesting from the
get go, being in his Snake form, his torso is entirely comprised of serpents of
various sizes. Six of these snakes flare out to be arms for the figure, with
some open and some closed, while a much larger one is in the center serving as
the main head. This design is wicked awesome. While it’s not accurate to the
200x version of Hssss, I would dare say it’s an improvement over that concept.
It most certainly is an improvement over the Snake form of the first release of
Hssss in this line. When comparing the two, this new snake torso makes the
older one look rather dull. Each snake
arm is bendy so you can move them quite freely, the main head has a swivel
around the neck to move it left and right, but the mouth cannot open and close.

The legs are fairly simple. A pair of snakeman legs painted
up to match the torso, a golden brown with green patterns, all on a King Hssss
codpiece. Basically it looks like Hssss is in his undies, as if his minions
stole his pants to hang them on a flagpole or something. Articulation is
standard, universal hips, thigh swivels, 90 degree knees, and forward and
backward on the ankles.<o:p></o:p></div>

The snake torso is fully compatible with either form of King
Hssss. Simply remove the normal torso and peg in the new snake form one. It’s a
simple design that works quite well and offers up a few nice combinations.
Given how the 200X cartoon was what really hooked me onto Masters, I prefer
using the 200X legs with the new snake form torso, although I’m probably gonna
be displaying Serpentine Hssss as a whole next the 200X figure.<o:p></o:p></div>

To make up for the wait, Mattel has gifted this toy with a
few interesting accessories. First off, he includes repainted versions of the
weapons from the Snakeman 2-pack, giving us a new mace, sword, polearm, and
shield done in gunmetal grey and metallic green. These will go great with your
Snakemen, particularly warriors like Rattlor. We also get a new head for King
Hssss, one that looks to be in the middle of transforming into snake form. It's just a repaint of one of the Snakemen Warrior heads, but still a cool add in none the less. This
new head will work with either version of Hssss, but the green on the back
would suggest it was meant for the vintage styled version of the character. It
looks great and can really provide an interesting new look for Hssss. <o:p></o:p></div>

All in all, Serpentine King Hssss is a great figure, which
can either complete Battle Armor King Hssss or just as easily stand on its
own. Whether you want to Upgrade your
existing Hssss, or just want a snake monster to attack your heroes, Serpentine
King Hssss is a figure worth hunting down.<o:p></o:p></div>

Buzzsaws alt mode is a smartphone, which is a major update
from his cassette mode of old. I’m sure there are those of you who don’t even
know what a cassette is, but to make it simple they were the precursor to CDs. In
any case, this smartphone mode is just as much a brick as his G1 counterpart’s
was. The front does have some nice decals on it to make up the screen, but unfortunately
some are prone to fraying simple due to how Buzzsaw transforms. I still do appreciate
the effort made on the decal art, it really does look nice.<o:p></o:p></div>

Interestingly enough, Buzzsaw was also given a vehicle mode
of sorts. This is more to go with the Titan Masters of the next line but it’s a
little odd to see now. I’m not even sure what to call the thing, it’s just a
little brick on wheels with prongs on the front. One could argue it’s just

Speaking of which, Buzzsaw’s robot mode is a bird. Big surprise
right. Honestly though I wouldn’t have it any other way. Buzzsaw has been a bird
since his G1 days and it’s been his default robot mode. This iteration is done
fairly well, but it’s also hard to mess up really. I like how there are flip
out extensions to the wings to make them more wing like and how the tail tries
to emulate the back cannons/thrusters, although those 5mm ports look like there
were plans to give him actual cannons at some point in his design. Perhaps Shapeways
can make that happen in the future. It’s also possible to fan mode a jet form
for Buzzsaw by simply rotating the wings 180 degrees and closing them up. It looks
decent and far more appealing than the official rolling brick mode. Sadly, no articulation to speak of on this
guy, all joints seem to be for transformation. In this case I’m not too bummed
by that, but it’s worth noting.<o:p></o:p></div>

Compared to previous versions of the character, there is an
obvious departure from the original design, but there is still enough here that
I can recognize him as that G1 character. I honestly would have loved to see
Hasbro incorporate the Masterpiece transformation to this new alt mode because I

All in all, Buzzsaw is an interesting and logical new take
on the character and could fit well into a Classics shelf. His rolling brick
mode is entirely forgettable, but not needed to enjoy the toy either, more of a
bonus feature that didn’t work out. I think he would be worth picking up
especially since the rest of the cassette team is coming later in the year or
next year, but if they went coming, this toy would be easier to pass on.<o:p></o:p></div>

The final wave of Combiner Wars is here and it’s another ’84
wave, for the most part. Three of the four deluxes are from the 1984 offerings
of G1 with one from ’85. We are looking at one of the ’84 guys today in
Trailbreaker.<o:p></o:p></div>

Trailbreaker is a repaint/retool of Offroad giving him the
flatbed truck vehicle mode similar to what he had in G1, minus the cover on the
back. He has a great paintjob which gives him all the classic striping you’d
want to see on a Classics representation of the character. The standard
hand/foot gun can be placed as a makeshift cover, but still I’d love to see
someone at Shapeways or some 3<sup>rd</sup> party make a cover accessory for
him.<o:p></o:p></div>

Robot mode is a little more interesting. Not only is the
head remolded but the arms are redone as well. While there have been more
extensive retools done in this line in the past, this is still quite nice. The
head is animation accurate to the G1 cartoon, with a really good face sculpt.
The arms are blockier than the what Offroad or Ironhide had and the right arm
even has a gun instead of a hand. For G1 fans, this is a big win as
Trailbreaker had a gun hand in G1. The arms and legs are well painted but the
chest is lacking. Aside from an Autobot badge, it’s completely unpainted. I
wish the top of the chest was painted blue to match the vehicle mode
windshield, furthering the G1 aesthetic the figure seems to be going for. Other
than that he looks very nice.<o:p></o:p></div>

Accessories are pretty run of the mill for the mold. He has
the axe that came with the other figures to use this mold, as well as the
engine styled hand/foot gun. The hand/foot gun however, has been somewhat
retooled. The finger and thumb pieces have been redone to give the hand mode a
more clawed look, complete with silver fingers. Quite an interesting touch.
That claw can even fit into Trailbreakers gun arm to give him a very big hand.
Sadly, the axe can’t plug into the gun arm. A shame since an axe arm would have
been cool.<o:p></o:p></div>

Given this is a Combiner Wars figure, we should get into the
combined modes. The leg is as solid as the other versions of the mold. I’ve
always liked how the hood of the truck becomes a knee guard. Arm mode still has
some problems. I will give Hasbro some credit as the remolded arms stay
attached to the tabs on the sides of the vehicle much better than Offroad or
Ironhide’s, but the robot legs still come apart too easily when trying to pose
the combined arm. This makes Trailbreaker more ideal as a leg, which makes the
retooled Hand/foot gun rather pointless, unless you swap hand/foot guns with

Trailbreaker looks pretty good with the first wave of ’84
bots. I haven’t gotten any of the other figures in his wave, but things are
looking good so far. When compared to the Thrilling 30 Trailcutter, it’s
amazing how much more G1 accurate this new one is even without having the hood
chest or flood lights in the back. I wish I had a G1 Trailbreaker to compare
him to but looking at him next to Hoist, the influences are visible. I’m
surprised at just how good this mold is for the character.<o:p></o:p></div>

Somehow I feel that Hasbro was trying to make Combiner Wars
an ideal starting point for new collectors trying to get a G1 cast together.
How else do you explain getting 11 or the first 18 Autobots, Megatron, and the
Seekers in one line. One could argue that Shockwave should be mentioned in that
group, but he needs a voyager to count in my view. <o:p></o:p></div>

Final waves are often cursed with being harder to find and
shorter lived, making a finale of ’84 characters that never combined before an
interesting way to end the Combiner Wars line. It offers comfort that a key
group won’t be missed due to figure scarcity, although I do worry about the
Voyager Skylinx that has yet to hit a store nearby me and may be afflicted by
that curse.<o:p></o:p></div>

It finally happened. We finally got a mainstream super hero
action figure line for girls. Now I’m saying “mainstream” because I Am
Elemental beat Mattel to the punch by a good year with what I hear is an
excellent line. But now it’s Mattel’s turn and following the success or Monster
High and Ever After High, they are bringing the DC girls back to high school. <o:p></o:p></div>

This time we are going to be looking at the 6” scale line,
with Wonder Woman herself, and as far as action figures go, she’s pretty good. Her
sculpt is very solid, looking like a healthy, perhaps slightly fitter than
average teenage girl. She is dressed in a red t-shirt with white sleeves and
blue jeans, with a gold belt and shoulder armor piece that has the Wonder Woman
logo engrained into it. She also has her trademark silver bracelets and tiara,
as well as red boots that have wings on the sides. I rather like this design
since it looks like Mattel started with what a normal girl would wear and then
added things you’d see on a super hero over it, which in itself sets a very
positive tone for the toy. It kinda says girls don’t have to dress super sexy
to be awesome, which is a good message.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The face sculpt is done quite well. It seems to be a mix of
the previous DC action figure lines and Barbie, which is fitting when you think
of it. Being the 6” line, the hair is sculpted instead of rooted, which works
just fine for me. It’s more of a dark blue than black and has plenty of
sculpted detail. All and all, a nice face.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Articulation is done well, especially for the $10 price point
these toys go for. Ball jointed head, universal shoulders, 90 degree elbows
with swivel at the elbow, universal hips, 45 degree knee bends, and swivels at
the boots. Her hair does interfere with the head movement a bit but you can get
her to look left and right. It’s a good amount of articulation, although I must
admit I wish she had a waist and thigh swivels. Then again, that may just be me
being spoiled on Marvel Legends and DCUC.<o:p></o:p></div>

Wonder Woman only has one accessory, her signature Lasso of
Truth. What makes this unique among pas Wonder Woman figures is that this one
can actually be wielded. She can hold it in either hand and even get some two
handed poses going with it. The lasso can also be holstered on her belt, but doesn’t
look quite right there. This is mainly due to it being sculpted plastic rather
than actual rope, it can only do so much. Still it’s a fitting accessory. <o:p></o:p></div>

Best part of this figure is that she fits in quite well with
DCUC figures, looking like a younger version of the Wonder Woman figures from
that line. I guess that’s rather appropriate. She’s about the same height as
Donna Troy, so she works out good if you want to put her with the DCUC toys. <o:p></o:p></div>

2016 is actually the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary for Beast
Wars, which is a very cool thing. I enjoyed the show very much and the toyline
was quite a refreshing change shifting from vehicles to animals. And with this

Beast mode is a Velociraptor, and he looks wonderful in this
mode. Very thin and lithe with a pale brown skin with lighter brown stripes.
The head looks great and even has an opening mouth, even the pupils of the eyes
are molded in rather than just being bits of paint. His tail defiantly looks
more realistic that the older toys did. With its curve at the end. On the
downside, there are robot bits sticking out of the back of the feet and on the
inside of the legs, and there is also a big ugly bulge coming from his chest
with hands and claws on the front of it. It’s not horrible, but still a bit of a
downer. He does however have some articulation in beast mode, with ball jointed
hips, slight knee bends, ball jointed feet and swivels at the shoulders. Not
the greatest posability but good for a beast mode.<o:p></o:p></div>

Robot mode is really where the mixed bag feel comes into
play. The sculpt is done very well, giving him a strong, fierce and even quick
appearance that is fitting for the character. I especially love the face sculpt
which is spot on to the old cartoon, truly a great looking face. The hands
actually have two options to them, standard robot hands or more show accurate
claw hands. It’s a nice touch that will make using his weapons much easier.
Articulation is for the most part pretty good. A swivel at the head, ball
jointed shoulders, bicep swivels, hinged elbows, hinged claws, ball jointed
hips, hinged knees, ball jointed ankles and ball jointed toes. The knees only
bend about 45 degrees but the feet can still help with posing options. <o:p></o:p></div>

There is also a faction switching gimmick on his chest,
allowing you to choose if he is a Maximal, Predacon, or has no faction symbol
at all. It’s fitting for Dinobot as he started as a Predacon and then joined
the Maximals. And the no symbol option is also nice since he didn’t wear one in
the show and the gimmick is on the raptor’s head. <o:p></o:p></div>

Accessories are pretty much taken strait from the original
toy with some new twists. The tail opens up to form a shield much like the old
toy, but this time it does not spin. Instead it launches the bone sword inside
like a missle. A neat feature but I do miss the spinning shield. The robot hand
is needed to hold the shiled, but if you prefer there is a hook on the bottom
that can go onto his back for storage. The sword is rather dinky, needing to be
small to fit within the tail, a negative result of the tails curvature. It can
be held in the clawed hand just fine, but honestly, if you have the sword from
the old toy, it may be worth trying to use that or check Shapeways for a new
one for him. <o:p></o:p></div>

The biggest flaw of this toy hands down is the color scheme.
It is just about completely off. Going for a pale brown, yellow and purple mix,
probably to make him look more Predacon. He’s supposed to be warmer shades of
brown, silver and blue. The Henkei version from Takara got the colors right but
unless you’re willing to shell out $300+ for it don’t bother looking since the
Henkei version is Stupid Rare and Stupid Expensive<o:p></o:p></div>

Even with the inaccurate color scheme, I still think this is
a good toy, and I’d love to see a more show accurate version appear in a
Platinum set. This is one of the rarer gems of the Universe 2.0 line and can be
a bit pricey. I wouldn’t recommend paying more than $50 for him but if you by
some miracle find the Henkei version for under $100, GRAB IT, because that is
an amazing deal at this point and it is the better paintjob. In any case, it’s
a decent figure worth owning especially for fans of Beast Wars.<o:p></o:p></div>

Masters of the Universe Classics has been going on since
2008. Eight years and it’s still going fairly strong, pretty amazing. But with
all the vintage figures from the original toyline fully updated Mattel has had
to change things up to keep things going. The first step was to spit the line
into two groups, the Collector’s Choice line which started last month with Lord
Masque, and Classics 2.0 which was recently renamed Club Grayskull which
consists of Filmation styled variants of He-Man and his friends and foes. And
it’s the Club Grayskull line we are looking at today with its first figure,
none other than He-Man himself.<o:p></o:p></div>

To fully emphasize the whole 2.0 vibe, the Club Grayskull
figure nix the blister cards for a full on window box, also replacing the
shipper boxes with a slip cover that actually blends into the box, looking like
Castle Grayskull with the door firmly shut. Removing the slip reveals the
figure stepping apparently stepping out of the Castle complete with a view of
the interior behind him. The back has another image of the castle with He-Man
in front, as well as a how this line was meant to pay homage to the old Filmation
cartoon. No new bio for He-Man though, which is sad because Mattel’s throwing
away a perfectly good opportunity to poke some fun at the old show’s campy
side. Oh come on, you telling me you wouldn’t giggle a bit if a bio stated that
He-Man typically ended a day of fighting evil with a warm glass of milk, or
some other goody two shoes routine?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, enough of the box, let’s get down to business. For
the most part, He-Man’s new figure uses the same buck as about 90% of the line,
but what is different makes him quite interesting. Most obvious is his outfit which is far more
simplified than what we’ve seen in the past. The boots, belt, loin cloth,
bracelets, and armor all have a cleaner, less busy sculpt to them. This serves
the cartoon styling quite well, but what really brings it home is the head. The
face sculpt is fully tailored to the cartoon design all the way down to that
advertised hairdo. Seriously, Mattel made the “do” a selling point. All in all,
I think it works well for He-Man.<o:p></o:p></div>

For articulation, all the standard points are present and accounted
for. Ball-jointed head, universal shoulders, biceps, wrists, ab-crunch, waist,
universal thighs, thigh swivel, knees, boot cuts, and ankles. In addition to that
however, He-Man also gets the added hand articulation from the NA He-Man and
some better defined ankle pivots, which will make for some very epic poses.<o:p></o:p></div>

The accessory count feels more bare bones, but the most essential
one is here in his trusty Power Sword, which is a little bit of a letdown due
to it being completely unpainted. I know this is for the cartoon look, but a
silver blade would have done wonders for it. Luckily the Filmation Power Sword
that came with Flogg a while back works great with this figure. There is even a
sheath for the blade on his armor, a definite improvement. Best of all, with
the hand articulation He-Man is sporting, he can even pose like he’s gonna pull
the sword from its sheath. Don’t actually try to pull the sword out while still
in his hand though, it will most likely break if you do. <o:p></o:p></div>

The other accessory is an interesting display piece in
itself. A simple pedestal with two divots for swords to be placed in. This has
some nice possibilities to it. The boring one is just have He-Man pulling his
Power Sword out of it, but let’s have some fun with this. We can have the light
and dark halves displayed next to each other, which would go great with the Orb
of Power. Or we could have another way to display the Sword of Power and Sword
of Protection together. And let’s not forget Keldor’s split blade. For something
so simple, this may be one of the more entertaining parts of the figure. <o:p></o:p></div>

The real big question is, how well does this He-Man fit in
with the rest of Classics? I’m happy to say he fits in just fine. He looks
great riding Battle Cat, or even Swiftwind if you want. She-Ra also looks good
next to him, as do most others. With many figures in the line already taking
nods from Filmation, it’s not hard to throw He-Man in as another variant of the
character.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Filmation He-Man (yes I’m calling him that) may be one of
the finest versions of the character we have gotten to date and a great start
to the Club Grayskull line, which now consists of only Evil Warriors (why did I
bother saying friends?). That said, if you have a previous version of He-Man
and missed out on this one, wait for the hype to cool down or for Matty to
re-release him before hunting him down. This one’s not worth paying double or
triple his original price for, especially if you already have a He-Man in his
place.<o:p></o:p></div>
