He seems pretty spot on design wise to me. Anybody notice anything that needs changing?
My only mild criticism would be that he is probably too bulky, the cartoon and LJN character were definitely scrawnier, especially around the middle.
But I think Mattel is likely to use the same buck (figure base) for a lot of the characters so it makes financial sense to produce them. Is there an existing MOTUC buck for a scrawnier character that might work better?
Aside from him being skinnier, I thought no he is pretty spot on. I just hope the colors on the production figures are going to be as bright as the prototypes.
Agreed…that is what I’d like to see for the finished figure. Reworking the lizardman mold would produce the best effect. And in addition to it being the first time Mattel laid eyes on it, it tells you those are both artist proofs. The actual paint masters and mold designs are still months away yet.
The head however is friggin awesome. And the weapons should have a nice wash to add to the worn look.
Aside from being slight too bulky I think he is perfect. Much like MOTUC we will have to put up with certain characters having to re-use parts from others.
I personally would have loved to have seen the Classics New Adventures He-Man done with a WWE Elite figures body instead of the bulkier MOTUC buck.
I will echo that he is a bit bulky but it really doesn’t bother me much. I believe this figure is extremely well done and cartoon accurate. Even if they made no further changes I would be happy.
The only other thing that comes to mind is wasn’t the tip of his axe metal in the cartoon? It appears to be wood on the figure.
