Hey, I can't wait to read your reviews of Sorceress, Pig-Head and Man-e-faces, btw ! Those three I'm really excited about (the Shadow Weaver not so much..). I didn't think that Masterverse Pig-Head would turn out so well (honestly, I don't like the Origins figure too much, in fact I skipped it..) but those early pics are just mindblowing. The colours are just incredible.Mekaneckfrenchiefrognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-44764449867647984212023-02-25T12:28:58.181-05:002023-02-25T12:28:58.181-05:00Some of the Masterverse releases can definitely be...Some of the Masterverse releases can definitely be a bit uneven and, yeah, the cape could have been much nicer.<br /><br /> Jenny Garth, huh? I had to look her up to remind myself what she looked like but I remembered that he was on the cover of Disney Adventures magazine in the early 1990s holding Marsupilami. I looked that up and it was the February 1993 issue! Any other former Disney Adventures readers out there?Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-88255787027291487002023-02-25T04:04:44.992-05:002023-02-25T04:04:44.992-05:00No stained cape on mine.

The head doesn't move much, and when it does the shoulder pads won't stay in place. Also, the red cloth they used on the capes isn't opaque/thick enough and tends to be a bit transparent, which feels a little cheap. And I find the regular face a bit inexpressive, and the open mouth with slightly protruding teeth reminds me of US actress Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills). I think I would have liked a slightly angrier look better - although She-Ra isn't supposed to look angry, I suspect. Those minor reservations put aside, a truly beautiful figure.Mekaneckfrenchiefrognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-57847188902911590732022-11-29T10:53:04.306-05:002022-11-29T10:53:04.306-05:00I thought about the Jane Foster as Thor helmet as ...I thought about the Jane Foster as Thor helmet as well! And personally, I'd be down with Mermista taking over as She-Ra for a bit. That way we can get Sea-Ra again!Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-90606670972535068692022-11-19T03:46:53.471-05:002022-11-19T03:46:53.471-05:00The masked head reminds me of masked helmets Eric ...The masked head reminds me of masked helmets Eric Masterson and Jane Foster wore when they took over the role of Thor and had to conceal their identities. A nice headcanon we can attach to the alt head is that Adora is missing and someone else(I dunno, Catra?) has taken over the role of She-Ra in her absence, disguising their true identity. foldabotZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896300137537182254noreply@blogger.com
