He-Man and Battle Cat Have a Bold New Look in Their New Netflix Cartoon

No , not the showKevin Smith is doing . That sketch is a continuation of the original ‘ fourscore series and thus its target area consultation is 40 - year - olds . This is thenew Masters of the Universeshow for nestling .

Mattel break this first look at the CG repair “ reboot ” series during a “ Virtual Analyst Day Meeting ” ( viaToyArk ) along with a unexampled line of action figures . As a40 - year - old Masters of the Universe fan myself , it does n’t weigh a smidgeon what I call back the new He - Man and Battle Cat look like , but they frankly look all right to me . Battle Cat ’s armour is pretty rad , and leaves him look far more cat - same than his original flop . I ca n’t really get a grip on what ’s going on with He - Man ’s sword , but wo n’t suffer any slumber over it . Even He - Man and Battle Cat ’s hilariously lilliputian waists work for me .

Besides , although I ’ve love the enfranchisement for my entire life story , Masters of the Universe was always run short to need massive updating to have any Leslie Townes Hope of capture modern Thomas Kyd ’ attention — just as She - Ra did with herown excellent reboot . I do n’t roll in the hay if this will do it , but any fussy quondam He - Man rooter can content themselves that they ’re still somehow getting the ‘ eighty cartoon back this year .

However , as a Master of the Universeaction physique connoisseur , I will say these new toys are rather wanting . For being seven inch improbable , they appear to be very badly detailed . He - Man ’s head looks way too belittled , which is intelligibly not a German mark of caliber craftsmanship . As for Evil - Lyn ’s decision to cosplay as Korra from The Legend of Korra , that ’s her business sector and her business alone .

Masters of the Universe is set to release on Netflix later this yr .
