This calendar month I am joining many other Masters of the Universe fans worldwide to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this nifty toyline inwards Spain.

My entry today volition bargain amongst 2 figures from the third moving ridge (1984): Fisto together with Whiplash.

I got Fisto every bit a kid. If I think well, it was 1 of my showtime 3 or 4 figures, together with 1 of my favorites since dorsum then. The concept is pretty cool, amongst that huge metallic fist, together with the activity feature, although a fleck simple, was also amazing. Probably it is the characteristic I used most amidst all figures.

The figure itself, leaving the fist aside, is non real interesting: it has the classic cast together with 1 of the classic armours too. The caput gets to a greater extent than attention, since at that topographic point were non therefore many characters amongst a beard. The color mix: grey, violet together with brownish is a plus, I would say, together with the long sword is also unique together with cool. I estimate it had to live a sword, because his counterpart Jitsu also had 1 (a sword fits improve to Jitsu than it fits to Fisto).

Whiplash, on the other hand, is a figure I never had, although at to the lowest degree 2 friends of mine had it, together with I played amongst it when visiting them. Despite buying it a few years ago, beingness already an adult collector, I convey a sure enough weakness for the character, since it was my nickname inwards the community forum "Nueva Dominion - Eternia", where I used to post regularly together with where I met another collectors together with people who became friends until today together with beyond.

Back to the figure, it is based on a nifty concept, a muscled lizard that striked amongst its tail. In "battle" it is non a real practical feature, it is to a greater extent than handy to role the waist twist to punch other figures than to striking them amongst the tail, but it doesn't matter! It only looks cool together with makes the figure unique. The color combination is non real original, exactly mixing 2 unlike shades of greenish (lizard=>green), together with in all likelihood did non appel children every bit it does amongst adult collectors.

The figure came amongst an orangish spear, matching its orage belt. This pike was originally straight, but amongst the time, if non kept horizontal, it tends to bend. Mine is non therefore bad.

I would similar to state that I ain 2 versions of Fisto (shown inwards the next picture). Note the unlike pilus colour, the unlike shades of violet inwards the armour together with the slips together with the size of the head. The figure on the left is the 1 I had every bit a kid, together with it was made inwards France. The plastic inwards his left leg is a fleck damaged, but interestingly, this happened dorsum inwards the 80s, peradventure it was a mill production error. The figure on the correct was made inwards Malaysia. Both swords are slightly broken, they are real difficult to notice unbroken due to its fragility.

The variants inwards the MOTU footing are becoming to a greater extent than together with to a greater extent than intereting for collectors. What are nosotros waiting for to start a variants webpage similar the 1 for Kenner's Star Wars at "The Imperial Gunnery"?

I also convey this instance from a Fisto card, which depicts our hero hitting no less than Skeletor. Great art!
