thirty-five years it has been approximately 35 years since I first
desperately wanted hey man Masters of the Universe wind Raider well here we
are today in 2019 not the early 80s and I finally have one thanks to mega
constructs now a division of the tale finally putting one out and I also have
a very dirty looking he-man let me give these things opened and show
you what they look like first the wind Raider itself this is a 198 piece set
that does come with both figures shown there the he-man with battle axe and
Skeletor with sword there are no stickers in this set so anything that
looks like a decoration is a print and unfortunately the bags were not numbered
now it's not such of a big deal in a small set like this but it is strange
for me after celebrating wildly the introduction of numbered bags to mega
that we seem to have lost them this is just so glorious so so glorious to
actually have this although it's not hitting all of the nostalgia buttons for
me because this is actually better scaled to the depiction in the cartoons
than it is to the toy and the original toy and I guess my mind's eye expects
the toy proportions more this is funny how that works but yeah this is this is
pretty proper with the ridiculously bright yellow colors used for all of the
control surfaces of the thing he-man fits right in there and is able to hold
on to the controls he's got a little heads-up display which does not have any
print on it but you see that there are plenty of prints all around this thing
it went together just fine some marbling for the color of the flame
it might not be exhausts there she's pretty good see this can be turned side
side you can't change the angles of the elevators you can rotate these if you
want up and down also turn the you have to pull this out
say independently change the angle of the the edge of the the feather is there
and it has the working winch up front with the anchor I almost I almost
completely forgot that they used an anchor that's such a funny thing but you
know combination of future and medieval but this this actually does work there
we go lines out like so and winds right back
in just like the original did yeah I think the original had a had a ratchet
if I recall correctly this one does not doesn't doesn't stay yet that finish but
I think I remember the original not always wanting to stay at the centered
position all the same huh well anyway what is what is I don't
remember if they had a particular canonical in universe name for that
anchor but you know it works and everything and these edges here are bar
sized so you can actually attach a figure to that if you want to do a
rescue or something if you got bar sized bits on the edges here so you can attach
things there as well so that's good get really attached anything else to the
sides of the engines so you can't have somebody else hitching a ride
other than holding on to the wings or the or that anchor there but I think
that's okay and all importantly this does have two wheels on the on the
bottom I don't remember if the original head just two wheels or gonna have like
three or something but this has two wheels on it so it's able to roll around
and you just see those there they're just hard plastic which is fine it's
kind of what you expect it's a wind Raider and I have it at last it's pretty
cool let's take a closer look at this version of he-man who has the probably
exclusive darker colored eyebrows you'll see on me that maker constructs Hiro's
version that they have different lighter color now I wish that
I had an original he-man figure I do not I never had an original he-man figure
are only in it Prince Adam and a man-at-arms however somehow I'm assuming
through trading with a friend who had lots and lots of the figures I did get
ahold of an original battle axe and somehow I still have that original
battle axe so for the sake of scale this will help to show you the difference in
size between the original figures and these new ones these little micro action
figures as they call this is done pretty well it's definitely a far more
believable scale than the original figures which were just caricature just
super deformed this is actually done pretty decently well for something this
small the eyes aren't terrible I mean I think
they look much better in in person than they do here you see there's a little
bit of offset with the white of the eye is possibly being a little bit low but
not not too far it's really difficult at this tiny tiny scale to get things right
the lower legs are actually molded in that kind of burgundy color is it this
is slightly reddish brown and then they just have a little bit of paint
application of the flesh tone towards the tops of them which is pretty well
matched to the plastic of the flesh yeah oh all told this is pretty well done
Skeletor is also not half bad especially at a reasonable distance I mean here you
but can't had it super close an HD resolution and so you can see the little
blemishes around the edges of the painting for the face but in in real
life it actually looks very good it looks like it's glowing now the face
does not glow in the dark unfortunately it's a little bit of a missed
opportunity there but it looks like it's glowing in the day because they first
apply a very bright neon green and then put a yellow over that and then finish
it off once that's completely dry with a dark red to give the gap between the
teeth and also for the eyes so that's really nice and the
the color for the skin looks right to me it almost looks like it's shaded just
because of the texture of that material and just how much light it takes into it
you know it's it's a little bit of translucency that affects the light as
it as it hits it man this looks like it has more depth than it actually does
it's nicely done it's too bad about the power sword being
a complete one here you know it's it's the same mold as Hemans complete one
which is another slightly missed opportunity for you know the true
classic fans and remember the the mini comics that would come with figures and
such you know and not to mention the fact that the original figures had the
half sword versions so you can't combine this with Hemans version you know what
to take on trap jaw drop jaw you want to say Rajah but no trap jaw you know that
was I was the one that I ever never else but then I looked through weights many
times yeah so a little bit of missed opportunity there given that especially
this is a construction toy you know but it looks pretty good and you know being
able to actually hold it in the tiny hand is a good thing
man he's got the sheath on the back I don't think this is even been separated
yet is there you go you know so you can place that there which is just fine yeah
pretty good pretty good stuff especially than that guy they did the face now
we're gonna look at the individual figures the separately sold figures that
have come in the mega constructs heroes line one at a time there have been four
different series so far both of these are from series 1 they are supposed to
sell for $5 u.s. and they do sell for $5 u.s. if you can ever find them scalpers
are very aggressive about finding in buying the entire box and then putting
them online for you know 10 15 20 dollars each so it's a big problem on
the Left series one he-man ah actually looks much better now out of the box
they did in not nearly as jarppi probably even a little bit better than
the the one that came in the wind Raider except
for that one eyebrow that's just off probably both eyebrows are off a little
bit in their registration but other than that looks pretty good to me notice the
lighter colored eyebrows with a dark red he has the buckler there and the Power
Sword both of those are a little bit more beige than I remember I thought
they're supposed to be a little bit closer to just a medium silver but that
might just be my memories I and Skeletor has his scepter the goat I believe a ram
head of that is a kind of rubbery piece so the horns don't break off too easily
and that version of Skeletor just the way that it was produced there looks
better to me with more of the yellow and green in there it still has a couple
little blemishes but just having more coverage I think looks better and these
stands this is my first time opening up any of these mega constructs heroes
I'm just the regular hero's line these stands are nice you know it's just three
little pieces but they're proper they Center the figures it brings in a little
bit of color from the theme in this case is that grace go green and you know
there are little names on them so yeah that's all it's all good and otherwise
these figures are built the same as that the ones we saw in the the kit version
and I think they're pretty good so these are the two that came from or came in
series one again they're sold separately one at a time but there's also a Eman I
forget the name of it offhand I'll have to grab a box again but there's a
collection of all the figures you can get together there it is the battle for
Eternia collection I have seen this for sale on eBay
does not come with man-at-arms unfortunately that's a that's a Miss
that comes with other important characters and also a mini comic I need
to see that mini comic but I'm not gonna pay scalper prices for this thing mega
constructs Heroes series - brought us Teela and beast man level of detail on
Teela is excellent but it's unfortunate that the registration for her eyes is
just ever so slightly off it's just rotated ever so slightly from some
angles it looks okay from a reasonable distance it looks okay but up close it
dozen gosh you have to be just perfect with those tiny eyes to get it right
it's too bad with such fine printing that they used beast man's face isn't
all that great because the stamp that they used for the light fairly thin
white paint for his face left some some holes some bubbles in it but I think
that doesn't really cause that much of an issue because his face is not
supposed to be smooth anyway both of these I think look decent not great but
oh forgot to mention the scepter for Skeletor had to be built look like it
was complete in the package by DX you have to put it together which is a cool
thing same thing with Teva staff here this man
gets his whip which is a rubbery piece as well very flexible and look at these
around the back not one thing I will point out about all of these figures is
they have the the I don't know what you would call these these pieces what do
you call that they're like bracelets sort and not
bracers but those pieces that are there are little clip ons they can pop off
pretty easily search if you play with these those are things to look out for
you don't want to lose those even if you're just posing it carefully you
still want to watch out for that you definitely see some difference in the
colors between the flesh tone of the plastic for Teela and the painted on
parts as you can see in the arms the torso there on the back and also the
lower legs have that paint that's used so that's not quite as well matched as I
ideally you would like but that's it for those two series three included only
faker as a representative from the Masters of the Universe theme
fortunately this figure is very well done
I never understood Baker when I was when I was a kid so this was always a very
mysterious character to me very mysterious figure especially but I just
think this is so well done and fortunately the printing for this one on
the face is really good maybe maybe the eyebrows are off the tiniest fraction
but come on at that scale come on yeah this looks really really good to me and
I even printed the chest there see the they're reel-to-reel I spin around in
there that's nice to see it shows up a little bit but yeah that's pretty cool
it comes with you know both weapons again the body armour bits the vest bit
has the sheath in the back so you place his version of sword back there yeah
this is really well done for you know especially for a series that only got
one of these figures this was a good choice desirable for collection I at
least I got lucky for the printing on this one the production values it's
pretty close to spot-on and finally series four mega constructs
Heroes is the most important of all four it includes man-at-arms and evil win but
man-at-arms that's very very important to me because the very first toy I ever
bought in my life with my own money in fact probably the first thing that I
ever bought of any sort with my own money was a man at arms figure I got my
what was it two dollars fifty cents three dollars something something like
that I've combined allowance and extra money from doing extra chores saved up
over the course of weeks and went to the toy store hoping to get a he-man and
they were fresh out of Hemans so I settled for a man at arms and it didn't
have a mustache I was so mad it made no says they were so dumb for not putting a
mustache on it I I felt not doing and either the backstory of that and
only being familiar with the cartoon so I you know took a pen and just a regular
ballpoint pen and and you're a mustache on my man-at-arms figure now I have a
men at arms figure again that came with a mustache yes evylyn is also a pretty
cool lookin figure here registration for the eyes on this one is almost perfect
the print is very good there again you build up the staff and that has a you
can see it has the crystal looking ball at the top is actually transparent piece
with the bright silver colored paint application and arms has his mace and
his laser pistol I forget the canonical exact name of it laser blaster or
something but his his main armor piece is awesome really really nicely done
that's just begging for a tiny tiny little bit of a very simple very basic
wash very subtle wash but yeah good-looking stuff notice the the
weapons both of them have the rectangular shaped openings holes on
them so that one has it there this one has it over there and those allow you to
attach those weapons to his back so if you want to use just one at a time you
can and yeah his vest has it to standardized connectors on it which are
also compatible with other things from Mega constructs both of these figures
look great all the way on the back very nice probably the the best produced I'd
say of the ones that I've seen so far with the exception perhaps of just the
more armored leg of man-at-arms which could have used a little bit more
opacity for the orange you know just doesn't quite have that same brightness
that you expect and that's it for the Omega constructs heroes individual
figures for now ah they look great together all the colors facial
expressions yes original series inspired but with
better proportions you know that aren't as ridiculous as the original Hades
versions good paint applications for the most part and they really do look much
better in person than they do here the farther you the farther you step back
the more perfect they look the closer you get the more you see all the many
many tiny imperfections which really are tiny and that's it for my very nostalgia
heavy look at these for now you know the major problem with these continues to be
availability or the lack thereof combined with the demand driven
aftermarket you know scalper market which is really really rough on fans
yeah it's it's really really a shame if you can find these get him hold on to
him if you like him of course if you have any interest in these which brings
me to another question who actually is interested in classic Masters of the
Universe in 2019 I'm assuming it's mostly folks around my
age or possibly just a little bit older cuz
Masters of the Universe has not been relevant for a long time they did try to
bring it back but nah didn't work didn't work at all try and bring it back bring
it back to the general conch consciousness in general a few times
didn't work so yeah this is this is just for the old folks I don't mind that but
it's not gonna help the bottom-line very much I think for we're all suffering
Mattel is having a lot of troubles with with sales not to mention distribution
but the products continue to be very good very happy with these and I'm happy
to have been able to share this look at him with all of you thanks for watching
I'll talk to you in soon
you
