Hey guys, I was at my local Target today, looking for Series 5-8 of the new UM toys when I spotted "Matrila Arts He-Man", so I picked him up. Looks like 4 new heroes this wave:
Sy-Klone
Battle Glove Man-at Arms
Martial Arts He-Man
Prince Adam
(by the way, Ms. Kinnikufan would have a BLAST with Adam and Sy-Klone. They'd ship off perfectly, heheh)

But als, it's the same 3 baddies from last series:
Spin Blade Skeletor
Tri-Klops
Trap Jaw

anyways, I just thought I'd give you He-Man nuts a heads up!

what? the same three evil guys? are they at least different versions? what about two bad? And tell me if I am stupid or not, but i swear i saw a whiplash figure at walmart a few months ago right when the series figures were released, it was a huge figure, but i havnt seen them on ebay or seen them anywhere else, including walmart, since then.

Here is my prob with the New He-man line

The new figures are awsome (no thats not my prob with them)

but there are to many He-man's to soon!!!

you have original He-man, Samurai He-man, Jungle attack He-man, Burp and Change He-man, Radioactive He-man, Prom night He-man etc.

Alot of toy lines do this but this is to many to soon

And now there starting it with Man At Arms ta boot!!!
(since when is Man-At-Arms a samuri?)

And all the toy stores have about 200 He-man figures and nobody else and the store doesn't order more because there inventory shows they have 200 Masters of the Universe figures

One of the few reasons why i stoped collecting He-man and The new jakks WWE figures

o well

[Beligerant1]

totatlly agreed, the samuri, martial, jungle, talking, smash blade, etc... heman figures are complete trash in my opinion, they need to just come out with the different characters, like twobad, buzzoff, roboto, grizzlor, mossman, skunkor, clawful, etc...

i love the old he-man figures; they were my favorite normal-sized action figures....um...yeah..... just thought i should say that

[Ramses]

my gripe? More villians! hell,even guys like Jistu and Ninjor should be made again,but personaly,they REALLY need to bust out with the HORED soon,I miss Hordak and his baddies ;_;

[Rokk]

Burp and Change He-man, Prom night He-man etc.

What great figures those would make.

I pretty much agree with everyone else that they don't need 10 different versions of the same character. I love these figures, but sheesh, make figures of different characters. I always prefer a wider variety of characters rather than multiple versions of the same character. Whenever I go to Target to check out for new He-man figures all they ever have are a bazillion different versions of He-man and Skeletor. Nothing else.

wait, new announcement, IRAQ FREEDOM HE-MAN, lol

Wasn't hordak mostly she-ra toy line?

[phillymadison]

Ya Hordak and the Horde was mainly She-Ra

But they bugged He-man (and i think Skeletor too) a few times

[ironmask]

hordak actually forced he-man and skeletor to team up at least once. i think hordak was skeletor's teacher, or boss or something.
the horde was a cool name... hordak was cool... but not as cool as skeletor.
(nobody's cooler than skeletor.)
although jitsu and ninjor would be cool. i'd actually buy those.
(i ususally don't buy large figures. usually, if it's taller than 3.5, i pass.)

I just noticed,

The matrial arts He-Man has a different torso and arms sculpt than the previous versions. The most noticeable difference is a belly button on the new sculpt and large veins on the arms.

[Liokaiserbf]

You know the only thing I can say is this, atleast we are seeing these in the show, well so far, his Snow gear was kinda cool.

We've seen the Samuria version of He-man and I think that's it in the show toy wise, unless the Artic version did come out.

Seen a I think 3 different Skeletors right.


I do agree WAY TOO MANY HE-MANS and Skeletors in my area, I rarely see anyone else.

I still have a good set of Originals though.

One side note, wasn't Zodak a white boy before just pondering this. Like the new look though just curious on that one little thing.

Gotta be politically correct, you know.

When they remake the Fat Albert cartoon, they'll probably toss a few whiteys in there for correctness sake too.

Ridiculous.

[Krangala]

Take a look at the Vintage Zodak, compared to the Vintage He-Man.....

Zodak was always darker, and I always thought of him as black......
