REVIEW: MATTEL’S MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE REVELATION WAVE 1
This week, we’re taking a look at some of the figures from the first wave of Masters of The Universe Revelation figures by Mattel!
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
MATTEL’S MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE REVELATION WAVE 1!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re taking a look at some of the figures from the first wave of Masters of The Universe Revelation figures by Mattel! He-Man, Skeletor, SkeleGod and the beastly Battle Cat, to be precise. Masters of the Universe Revelation is the title of the recent Netflix show by Kevin Smith, so obviously, if there’s a new show, there’s gonna be new figures! If you have not seen the show yet, I’d skip reading this review! (You can always just look at the pretty pictures, though!)
The packaging for those figures is really nice
Battle Cat is HUGE
First, He-Man, aka Prince Adam (SPOILERS, especially since it was the main point of that show…). He-Man comes with his Power Sword, a shield, and an extra set of arms. Like many have mentioned before, those figures tend to have a small head compared to their body, but it’s not bothering me too much. I just had a little brown paint from his furry shorts that ended up on the leg, the classic paint app issue.

“Fabulous, secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said: ‘By the Power of Grayskull!’”… That is such a normal thing to do, grab random items and hold them up saying ‘By the Power of Grayskull’. I try all the time at home, with wooden spoons, a chair, a cat…
I HAVE THE POWEEEEER!
The reason why our generation can open bras so easily…
That dude gotta stay away from the spray tan… He’s freaking orange!
What would He-Man be without Skeletor? (apart from peace and quiet, harmony in his kingdom and all that). Voiced by Mark Hamill, yes, THAT Mark Hamill in the new show, Skeletor was actually way more efficient than he has ever been in the old Filmation cartoons. He actually managed to do something, this time! The figure comes with extra hands, his Havoc Staff and the ‘transformation staff’ he used in the show.

That Skeletor was no joke! That cape, however, kinda is.
Revelation Skeletor, sponsored by Colgate. Look at those pearly whites!
“Come in, you royal boob!”
“Everything I do is for the sake of EVIL!”
The following figure turned out to be a massive spoiler. However, until I saw the show, I just assumed it was a fun figure design that they were releasing to get more bigger figures on the shelves. At the end of the Part 1 of Masters of the Universe Revelation, Skeletor actually won, grabbed the Power Sword and yelled “By the Power of Grayskull!” before turning into a gigantic ‘SkeleGod’. He comes with extra hands, a Power Sword and a big green flame effect for his hand.

Now, I… Skeletor…
… am MASTER OF THE UNIVEEEERSE!”
The cape had a nice design, with some plastic parts that hold it down
“I HAVE THE POWEEEEEEEER!”””
His neck and the green flame effect are made of transluscent green plastic, and look really cool when hit with lights.
“Oooh, green cotton candy! Don’t mind if I do…”
Finally, the Deluxe Cringer aka Battle Cat (SPOILERS!) is a HUGE toy. Seriously, the box is humongous. The figure has great articulations, scales perfectly with the other figures and you can remove the armor to reveal a normal Cringer. We are far from the unarticulated Big Jim tiger painted in green from our childhood!
Front
Back
That is a big ol’ Cat!
Articulated mouth, to roar at the enemies! ROAAAAR!
Armor removable to reveal Cringer
“Oh no, what am I going to do? I am so scared!”
“Fear not, Cringer as I will shoot you with my Sword - Wait, what?!"
“ROAAAAR!”
That is 100% going to be displayed like that on the shelf.
New He-Man content and figures are flooding the shelves, with the arrival of a second, more kid-friendly show on Netflix. One thing is for sure, we have not heard the last from He-Man and Skeletor. What a time to be a Masters of the Universe fan!
The first wave also had Evil-Lyn and Moss Man, and the second wave, which should be coming out very soon will have Teela, Man-at-Arms, Beast Man and Spikor.

TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
Always wanted a wall of black series, but not enough time/money to track down all figures? WE GOT YOUR BACK!
BREAKING NEWS:
TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
That’s right, this is a collab’, y’all!
During the weekend, Kevin aka Toying Around (he’s a toy collector, toy photographer and sometimes toy reviewer) approached ToyFarce with a brilliant business opportunity: What if, instead of selling retro carded figures for display, we would just get a wallpaper with the figures printed on it? Let’s face it, a lot of MOC collectors will never open those figures displayed on their wall, so the figures are basically a second layer of wallpaper anyway! A layer of wallpaper made of cardboard, various plastics and accessories with different sizes, but a layer of wallpaper nonetheless!
After several business meetings, patent registration, research and development and dozens of empty printer cartridges, we can now proudly present to you our new venture:
INTRODUCING… THE TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
Are you tired of your boring white wallpaper? Get a Star Wars Vintage Collection wallpaper for your bedroom!
Always wanted a wall of black series, but not enough time/money to track down all figures? WE GOT YOUR BACK!
Give your apartment a makeover with the Star Wars Black Series wallpaper!
The Toy Collector Wallpaper is easy to install, even a non-toy collector can do it!
Not into Star Wars? No problem! We have plans to introduce other products in the future, including Masters of the Universe, Marvel Legends, Retro Collection, and many more!
Imagine preparing the bedroom for your newborn child, and installing that glorious Toy Biz Marvel Legends wallpaper! Your child will love it!
Follow @toyingaround and @toyfarce for more info, and don’t forget to check Toying Around’s youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/c/ToyingAround ) for fun content and livestreams, including the “UNBOXING THURSDAYS” show on… thursdays (clever!), where the toy community gathers to chit-chat and open toys!

SUPER7: “GO BIG *AND* GO HOME!” - MORE HUGE PLAYSETS TO COME?!
One thing is for sure, collectors will need to make a lot of space for all the upcoming huge toys!
BREAKING NEWS:
SUPER7: “GO BIG *AND* GO HOME!” - MORE HUGE PLAYSETS TO COME?!
Last year, Super7 became the number 1 reason why couples are arguing after releasing the HUGE Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain playset, a huge playset that is in scale with their MOTU Classics line. Hundreds of collectors are still in the doghouse with their significant other after bringing home that enormous beast of a playset.
Then, last week, it was the turn of the Thundercats franchise to get their own huge playset, with their vehicle, the ThunderTank, which makes the Thundercats Ultimate figures look like they are 3”3/4 scale next to it.
ToyFarce got the intel (probably a disgruntled employee, again) that for Super7, “This is only the beginning!”. They are now testing the waters, and after seeing that Snake Mountain was VERY popular, and that the early ReActions (pun absolutely intended) to the ThunderTank are that, albeit a bit on the expensive side, most Thundercats fan will definitely get it, the sky is now the limit for Super7, who has a lot of awesome franchises to play with, and their enormous playsets! Can you imagine all the vehicles for the Ultimates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, for example?
Here is some speculation of what may or may not come!
ALIEN’S USCSS NOSTROMO PLAYSET:
A Nostromo playset, scaled for the ReAction figures line would probably barely fit in our collection rooms, but that does not seem to have stopped Super7 before, and a lot of people would still buy it! Bring it on!
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701-D
Even bigger, imagine a spaceship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701-D that would scale with the freshly announced Star Trek: The Next Generation ReAction figures! We are at least getting for sure a bridge and/or transporter room playsets! Can’t wait!
DISNEY’S THE HAUNTED MANSION (THE ACTUAL MANSION!!)
Can you imagine, a replica of the mansion, with all the best parts of the ride included in it? The stretching elevator? Check. The doom buggies? CHECK. The ballroom with dancing ghosts? CHECK! (This is just wishful thinking, but damn, I want that, now…). I’d actually go for the Disney Land Paris version of the Haunted Mansion (or Phantom Manor), which, to me, looks creepier!
Also, Super7 just announced that they landed the classic Godzilla license for toys… Can you already see a Godzilla scaled to the ReAction figures? That thing would take all the space in your living room… and you couldn’t be happier about it!
One thing is for sure, collectors will need to make a lot of space for all the upcoming huge toys! Between the Super7 playsets and HasLab’s Unicron, the Sentinel and the Razor Crest, we are all collectively going to need bigger homes.

BREAKING NEWS:
HE-MAN TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS, NOW IN QUARANTINE
It is a sad day in Eternia. Late last night, He-Man made a public announcement to confess that he had tester positive for Covid-19, and will now be quarantined for a few weeks.It is common knowledge that the most powerful man in the universe get into close combat with his adversaries, and he must have been exposed to the virus during his latest fight with Beast-man or any other of Skeletor's henchmen. It is unknown at this moment if anybody in Snake Mountain has been tested, but we can assume that they will not get tested and probably try to continue spreading it, due to them being evil.
In a surprising turn of events, it was later revealed that Prince Adam of Eternia, the son of King Randor and Queen Marlena, also tested positive for the Coronavirus, which confirms what everyone expected: He-Man and Prince Adam really are close friends. We were told that Orko is working on a cure for Covid-19, but there is timeline was provided to us as to when we can expect it.
ToyFarce News wishes them a speedy recovery, and hopes that everyone stays safe and healthy in those uncertain times. Also, wash your hands.
