She-Ra (Masters of the Universe Classics Club Grayskull)

For the honour of Grayskull! Adora uses the Sword of Protection to transform into She-Ra, Princess of Power! A former Force Captain in Hordak's Evil Horde Adora learns she is the twin sister of He-Man and can wield the mystic powers of She-Ra in service of the Great Rebellion.

This figure comes from Super7's continuation of Masters of the Universe Classics which is more focussed on the designs from the Filmation cartoon series and since that's my main connection to this world I'm all for it. I got on the train to Etheria a bit late so the earlier Mattel releases of She-Ra were much harder to come by so I'm extra happy to be able to add this version to my collection.

Fancy slipcover over the box.

Buzzsaw Hordak (Masters of the Universe Classics)

Leader of the Evil Horde (Who calls us that?!) Hordak is second only to Skeletor in terms of cartoon villain coolness. This figure is an update of an action feature variant of Hordak's vintage figure. He's basically the same design as vintage Hordak but now his chest opens and a crazy double buzz-saw is revealed. This is a pretty subtle variant so I'm on the fence about whether or not I need to track down the original release of MOTUC Hordak or not. This guy definitely does the job of representing a non-Filmation Hordak.

In terms of Masters of the Universe I'm more of a She-Ra fan than a He-Man fan so I've definitely gravitated toward the Princess of Power and Evil Horde figures. For the cartoon Hordak's colours were brightened and his design streamlined a bit so it's neat to see him be more foreboding and sinister.
