SDCC 2011 Masters of the Universe

Mattel had a lot to show for their Masters of the Universe Classics line at SDCC this year. Many of 2012's figures were on display along with a few for the rest of this year. The subscription exclusive figure for next year is the awesome Shadow Weaver and is tempting me into actually getting a subscription. The Four Horsemen are bringing some original characters to MOTUC with the first being the incredible Draego-Man. Most of the figures are looking great with the 2000-colored Evil-Lyn, Sorceress, Kobra Khan, Shadow Weaver, Draego-Man, and Demo-Man as the stand-outs for me. I've been hoping for a while that an Evil-Lyn in 2000 colors would get made someday, so it's cool to see her on the slate. A few never-before-produced characters are making it into the line, too, such as the old fan-made Fearless Photog from the '80s and the three very girly Star Sisters from She-Ra. The first vehicle will make it into the line with the Wind Raider and Swift Wind will be joining Battlecat and Panthor in the beast-riding department.

Mattel will also be making little super-deformed MOTU characters at some point. I don't know if they'll be in stores or just on MattyCollector.com like everything else, but they look fantastic.


Shadow Weaver might be too good of an incentive for fans to go for the subscription this year.	Draego-Man is an original character by the Four Horseman and looks amazing.

I'm not a fan of Evil-Lyn's original yellow skin color, but fortunately now there's Battleground Evil-Lyn, which is more like her 2000 version.	The Sorceress makes her long-awaited MOTUC debut.

Kobra Khan doesn't squirt anymore.	Demo-Man has alternate Skeletor and skull heads.

Flipshot has a huge jetpack.	Fisto's fist looks smaller than I thought it would be.

How do you make She-Ra girlier? Add more pink, sparkles, and bubbles.	Starla is the most normal-looking of the Star Sisters 3-pack.

Star Sister Tallstar can apparently grow tall.	Jewelstar's hair is made of jewels. And her bird is named is... Glory Bird? Does it live in a glory hole?

Snout Spout looks ridiculous.	Fearless Photog also looks ridiculous.

He-Man is the master of the squidgy universe.	Skeletor looks too awesome like this.

Scareglow is so angry because people confuse him with Skeletor's ghost all the time.	Mer-Man is sick of eating fish sticks.

Will Moss Man retain his fresh pine scent in a smaller size?	Why so blue, He-Man? Wait a minute...

The SDCC exclusive Queen Marlena / Captain Glenn and a terrified Cringer.	A cool crossover for girls, or guys who are, for some reason, into MOTU and Polly Pocket.
