There have been fairly a couple of new figures exhibiting up in shops recently from Mattel’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe line primarily based on the brand new Netflix CG animated sequence and I am hoping to take a look at fairly a couple of of them this week because the second season reveals up this week. In the present day I am testing the Energy Sword position play toy, a quite cool digital Energy Sword that must make you assume again to previous variations of those you may need had as a child. I nonetheless have an image of myself from September of 1987 with the basic yellow plastic Energy Sword and a black pot lid, so Energy Swords have lengthy been part of my life. Let’s examine this one out after the break…
The Info:
Dimensions: 20 inches lengthy
Non-Scalper Value: $25 {dollars}
The Positives:
* This is a fast take a look at the sword. Aside from the 200x Energy Sword, a lot of the Energy Swords launched by Mattel have had yellow blades, presumably to both exhibit the sword in a powered up type and to make them look extra distinctive. Most likely to assist the sunshine up options, too. This can be a totally different wanting Energy Sword however I just like the thick blade and the extra elaborate hilt.
* The hilt could be very strong with a pleasant quantity of element on the deal with and pommel. the hilt seems to be nice with some silver highlights across the cranium after which bigger, jagged quillons jutting out.
* The cranium is the Grayskull emblem within the present and it matches the cranium on the base of the Havoc Employees. It seems to be actually cool and helps the sword to really feel extra distinctive and fewer generic.
* Once you press the button on the facet the sword lights up and you may hear some totally different noises and sound results. Each time you push it you may hear “By the Energy of Grayskull I’ve the ability!” first, adopted three totally different sound results after which one other voice clip. The opposite phrases are “Lightning strike,” “Masters collectively,” and “Now we have the Energy!” It is good and lough and the flickering mild is fairly cool. It would not keep on, simply flashes whereas the sound results play.
* The blade is actually softer and fabricated from hole plastic nevertheless it would not really feel flimsy. Except you are actually smacking this in opposition to stuff I would not count on it to interrupt with common play.
This can be a fairly cool toy. It is positively under no circumstances a prop reproduction nor an merchandise that the majority cosplayers might use as a foundation for a prop, however it’s sort of enjoyable. Should you’ve bought a child that loves He-Man otherwise you your self do not thoughts swinging round a plastic sword and yelling “I’ve the ability!” then you definately would possibly prefer it. I do want the sword had the choice to remain lit or maybe even the choice to open the blade for a lightning strike, like within the present. Nonetheless, it is enjoyable. May you discover a comparable high quality generic toy sword for much less cash? Most likely. Will it shout traces from the latest He-Man present? positively not. This one will get a Nice from me.
