Prince Adam (He-Man - Masters of the Universe) Review
Prince Adam
He-Man - Masters of the Universe (Mattel)Superman may get some flak for his insufficient disguise, but this guy makes him look like The Chameleon.
3 waves in, the MOTU line started dropping "story" characters like Orko and Prince Adam. It was nice to see, although Adam (and later,most of Randor) was just He-Man with clothes. But hey, the show pretty much did the same. And the lavender pants and white shirt may just be painted on, but with the softgoods vest covering a lot of the chest detail, it actually looks pretty damn good. An elastic belt holds the thing closed, with a tiny yellow buckle.
Articulation is the usual Big Five plus spring-loaded waist. You all know what to expect. The downside is that you can't really holster his sword on his back. At least you could fake that with the original harness.
And you'd probably want it stowed, too, because the thing is a very strong magenta. I get that they wanted something different, but silver would've worked too. Or even clear yellow or blue, to represent the transformation sequences. But no, full-on magenta.
So, is it good? By modern standards, it's laughable. Most MOTU toys are. But it does give us a rare non-combatant character who's very plot-relevant, and sports one of the best-looking softgoods pieces of the era, at least in that scale. Shame about the sword, though.
