Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

Seems like MAA being similar is more of a NE problem. He looks really nice for a Vintage line figure. I much prefer the yellow armor and chained weapon. This is one of those collector hills on which we fight to the death, over the issue of molded chain for action poses vs linked chain.

I think I prefer the head on the NE version though, even with the painted flesh tone. The Vintage head looks kinda small and weird.

They added new pictures to the listing: https://www.walmart.com/ip/MOTU-MVSE-MAN-AT-ARM/16013114084

I can see more differences in those pictures, @vicious . I have the NE MAA in my display as a palace guard fighting alongside the kit-bashed Duncan I made using the NE mustached head and fancy helmet on the Revelations version's body. I think I'm satisfied with those two, and don't need this vintage version at all.
 
I think I will use New Eternia Man At Arms as Man At Arms, then use the Vintage Collection MAA's as Eternian Palace Guards. Especially since I pre ordered two of them.

I definitely like New Eternia Dragstor, and Force Captain Adora/Despara is pretty cool and gives us more Horde choices. Keldor, who I always love a good figure of, is a bit too different or odd or something in this New Eternia look. But I am going to get it. But as cool as Mattel makes these New Eternia figures, I feel like they somehow didn't live up to their potential here with Keldor. Still, different and it looks fun. So, I'll get the entire Wave.

Damn, that vintage MAA really doesn't look much different from the New Eternia version.

Me either, but I want the weapon storage thing on his back and the knife. So Ill get this, add that to the NE one and then make this guy an Eternian Guard. I have a few of those anyway.

Dragstor I'll get coz I'm a sucker, but its not high on my list. Adora I can't wait. She can replace my custom Adora. Hell I might get 2 and have Despara as a different character, I haven't decided.

The wave coming I want all three though. Im SO excited for AE He-Man
 
I've been using NE MAA as my unnamed palace guard "I'm just here to help" sidekick for Duncan himself and I really love that figure. Not sure how I'd use the Vintage one but I like that base setup enough I'd get another.

Despara's the one from that poster I really am looking forward to. Trying to scale back on my MOTU buying cos I bought to much too fast and got overwhelmed but there's some good ones in there.
 
I refuse to use any figure with Man At Arms' armor as a palace guard. I know they wore similar uniforms, but not MAA's! His is too distinctive with the raised chest plate that partially covers his face (is there an official term for that?) Once they release armor that's more fitting for a palace guard, I'll get that.

I believe it's a bevor.
