This design alongside the CGI Beastman are my favorite versions of the character. They look so feral and primal. If this is anything to go by, i would love to see a figure of a New Eternia Merman based on the Lords of Power concepts.
I got this Beast Man at my local target a few weeks ago now. I love him. He’s so much bigger and intimidating that even the Masters Classics one. I bought this figure specifically because of the faux fur mantle. Dan mentions that it is non removable and glued to the spiked, skull harness but that’s not true. It is merely pinned to the harness with the spikes acting as anchors. Due to the gummy nature of the plastic of the grey harness, I was simply able to pop out the spikes, slip the fur mantle off them, and slip the spikes back into place. I displayed mine with the faux fur mantle under the more classic harness included with the figure. It looks like an extension of that armor piece. I couldn’t be happier.
They released new Beastman figures where the black wash has been fixed and the body now matches the rest of the figure. I was able to make an exchange for it at my Target yesterday.
A really great figure! When the Masterverse line started I was not really convinced of this new revelation concept. But the more figures I bought, the more I started to like them. I didn‘t think that they could beat the Classics, but some (e. g. Beastman, Fisto and Barbarian Skeletor) definitely do. And what I like best is the fact that they are available and affordable! Greetings from Germany!
Ursis Prime was the first iteration of Beastman created by Mark Taylor back in the 80s. This version was just a huge bear, that wasn't used due to its allegedly resemblance to Chewbacca. Ursis' chest armor consisted of huge spikes and a human skull at the center. So, why do I bring this into our attention? If we take a careful look at the Beastman New Eternia figure, we would notice that he wears the same chest armor as Ursis, a fur with Ursis colors, and a helmet that is the very head of a bear. Guys, Beastman New Eternia is a combination of both the original and the known versions of Mark Taylor's Beastman. I'm fascinated by the background MOTU story behind this iteration: Beastman killed Ursis Prime after a long duel that almost took his life. As a result, Beastman decided to wear Ursis corpse as a symbol of his skills in combat and as a reminder of his power. This is really cool!!!
It says on the back of the box he killed the demon bear. So that’s how he got the pelt. Also hoping they do Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops, & Hordak in a New Eternia style
So I thought this was pretty interesting, I found 2 Beast Man figures at a Target that seem to be an update or a running change to the figure. I did a video on my channel about it, the 2 figures I found have white upper teeth instead of the accidentally painted over blue teeth like most of the figures have and they have a lighter, more orange torso/body instead of the darker, over-washed bodies. I've been to three other Targets that have all had several Beast Man figures but none of those figures were the updated/corrected figures. Isn't that strange? The figures are obviously different, it can't be an accident or coincidence
Y’know what, if New Eternia gets its own show, Beast-Man could potentially be a Adaptational Nice Guy if He-Man helps him figure out where his people went
I’d love the next 2 in this style to be Teela and Mer-Man. A blonde Teela and a more fishy Mer-Man? Yes please! Plus, I love how hulking he is. I always pictured Beast Man to be a larger character with some intimidation, not the dopey goof unfortunately portrayed in the Filmation series,
I love the alternate looks on these New Eternia figures. I never would have picked up that Skeletor until I saw the alternate "classic" head sculpt. And it's one of the most legit Skeletor figures now.
Pixel DAN can you please ask Mattel if there is also a way to finish off the few MOTU Classics line of vehicles, playsets, characters and weapons packs that we didn't get to?
I don’t know why I thought this was Revelation s2/Revolution BM? I still haven’t seen Revelation BM. Only saw one M@A and Teela around here, from that wave. I am curious how that fur armor fits on Ursa Major, now?
Since this guy comes in the same size box as Skelegod I'd call this an "over-sized" figure more than "deluxe" even though he does come with more stuff than some of the deluxe ones.
If you want to get creative, you can take some rubbing alcohol to the wash and most of it will come off. I used a 91% alcohol and it took me about an hour and many qtips to take it off. He's actually a really bright orange underneath!
Dan, do you have a Mythic Legion Cowarrus? Could you post a photo of him wearing this Beast Man’s helmet? I’ve wanted a Battle Cat helmet for Cowarrus forever and if this one fits, that might be the solution.
This is one I'm really eager to get hold of. Although I had mixed feelings on many 200x designs, I love how this version is big and hulking and echoes that 200x figure so much (as does the extra leg amour). One thing I don't think has been noticed by (m)any is how the design on the waist cloth sorta has an embellished 'compass' design from the traditional torso armour. Also, as a boy I'd often draw Beast Man carrying a club so I like that he comes with one here. This version incorporates so many elements from various Beast Man designs - I'm a huge "early sketches" fan and love that so much of that is referenced in this figures. The black body wash is a shame, but my biggest niggle is the head, which looks a little puffy and 'goofy', although I can live with it. This figure has so many optional combinations for display, and I love how these NE ones can be 'stripped down' to serve as basic versions of the character. Really hope they do similar justice for Trap Jaw as I feel the Revelations version is a real let down.
My favorite of skeletors minions. Sadly- i sold mine off. I dont like how the shoulders sit outside the torso. Just looks very awkward, and fragile. Hopefully its done better on future releases. Very disappointed, as i was super excited when the figure was announced. I really hope mondo does it better in their upcoming line.
Looks like the arms aren't attached to the body that great. This really bothers me. Just look how much better the Revelations Beast Man looks with his arms/shoulders more close to the body (no gap).
pixel dan has never given his opinion on revelations. i think hes scared to say he doesnt like it because mattel wont be happy and wont send him free toys. and hes scared to say he likes because he might lose fans so he chose not to give any opinion on it. i think he doesnt like it because he probably wants a true to 80s heman type cartoon. now when revolution comes out, he will go radio silent as well if someone sees pixel dan at a con, record him with your phone and ask him his opinion on revelations. lets see him squirm and wesil his way out of giving out an opinion
It’s revelation. Let it go already. It’s been how long? Who the f cares anymore. Only you woman hating wannabe men still bring up stupid stuff like children, but even children move on. Get over it victor and Dan g. Here’s a tip for life….if you don’t like something don’t watch it and stfu and let those that enjoy it, enjoy it.

Pixel Dan it is great to see that you’re still doing great after all these years.

its not that big or a deal
I’m keepin mine I like it
I prefer the wash

I didn't like the line at the beginning. But the latest figures have been much better. Beastman is my favorite so far.
Are you gonna say his head/face look better than MOTUC or filmation one?? 😅😅😅😂😂😂 And the chest accessories/clothes look cheap
I really like this BeastMan, best figure in this line so far

Not an accident- it is a running change and I exchanged the one I bought earlier for the new one.
Y’know what, if New Eternia gets its own show, Beast-Man could potentially be a Adaptational Nice Guy if He-Man helps him figure out where his people went
The club is actually very spiky. I learned quickly after grabbing it too hard..
But seriously I absolutely love this figure
I’d love the next 2 in this style to be Teela and Mer-Man. A blonde Teela and a more fishy Mer-Man? Yes please!
Plus, I love how hulking he is. I always pictured Beast Man to be a larger character with some intimidation, not the dopey goof unfortunately portrayed in the Filmation series,
This is definitely the best figure that Mattel has released so far. I hope the quality continues like this.
This figure got me into the masterverse line
Thank you Dan.
I love how this line is paying tribute to the history of he man
Just bought mine for 17 euros. I am really happy! With barbarian skeletor and 40th he man 2022 is a great year for Masters action figures!
I wonder what the barbarian style armour would look like on the otherwise quite plain savage He-Man. I'll be trying that out.
I love the alternate looks on these New Eternia figures. I never would have picked up that Skeletor until I saw the alternate "classic" head sculpt. And it's one of the most legit Skeletor figures now.
I was "hmm... it's good but I can't decide" on NE Skeletor until I saw the classic head sculpt too, it kinda sealed the deal for me. :)
Magnificent figure, truly a piece of art!!!
So far the only new version figure I couldn’t leave on the shelf. Just picked it up last weekend. Awesome review 👍🏻🇺🇸
I'm very surprised to see that your Skeletor's right shin guard is still turned backwards just like in his review. lol
I think that should be a new inside joke going forward, lol
Man, that fur pelt really makes this one stand out, in my opinion! Great review!
I have to get two of these! The classic look is based on the vintage card back !
This will always be to me... Warchief Beastman. Already a favorite of mine in the new eternia line!
Thank you😺
Pixel DAN can you please ask Mattel if there is also a way to finish off the few MOTU Classics line of vehicles, playsets, characters and weapons packs that we didn't get to?
Just got mines today amazing
Best so far! Great review, cheers!
He looks seriously awesome. 👍 😉
GREAT REVIEW AS ALWAYS DUDE.
Is it not skelegod size box?
Same size Box as Skelegod, come on PixelD!😂 great figure, absolutely love it
This figure looks so good... I saw plenty of them at my local Target! :D
I noticed something when it comes to your reviews I noticed you never use the 2002 line to review with the other ones
I wasn’t going to collect Origins or Masterverse, but damn it to hell! I guess Masterverse will be entering my collection!
I so want this version more than first one
Are the legs loose on yours
The fuzzy part makes me think of my original Grizzlor figure!
Yep there's a second run now showing up with better coloring.
Is one leg shorter then the other
You beastmaniac, you killed Ursis Prime!
That club is gonna droop
I don’t know why I thought this was Revelation s2/Revolution BM?
I still haven’t seen Revelation BM. Only saw one M@A and Teela around here, from that wave.

Is it Target exclusive?
Looks really cool!

New Eternia is the best part of masterverse
This looks like one I “need.”
When will we get a bearman
Skelegod was also in a box like that
I like the Classics version better. I hate that Super 7 loss the license. I would love to have an opportunity to get an Ultimate's version.
75 bucks a figure no thanks

Really want this guy unfortunately no Target here in Canada :(
Atleast you still have a Toys r us over there.
This thing is awesome .. Feels like Beast-Man to me ... I think I'd toss the stupid helm though.
Looks like the arms aren't attached to the body that great. This really bothers me. Just look how much better the Revelations Beast Man looks with his arms/shoulders more close to the body (no gap).
I pre order this but i going to leave the armor on
I have it. It rules!
One of the greatest characters in He-man!!!
Love that Beast man figure 👌
Excellent upload 🤘
The mismatch colors on the chest are pretty unexcusable imo.
There was a running change to fix it. My copy of this figure has a correctly colored chest
I love it
Love it but not quite ready to jump at 33$.
I can't believe after all these years Mattel doesn't just send you every figure for free as a promotional tool...
Hmmm Dan the man is staying away from the WUNDER BAR DUMPSTER FIRE ...bummer man
I think beastman killed ursis prime in combat, and now he wears his skin as a trophy

Lol yeah your correct. The figures are horrible. Let's all not forget race swap king grayskull and lesbian teela lol

Hee-Dan with thunder punch!
I had that before you
Calssics is more amazing so far.
mirto
His elbows look really narrow
It lacks the big biceps of the original. And it costs 32.99. Which is too much.
It's the same zise like SKELEGOD, or TWOBAD 😎👌
Clearly Beast Man washed his face to try to impress the Beast Woman.
Random fact: the spiked club design is actually a Japanese weapon called a “Kanabo” and was used during feudal Japan.
the fur is horrible :/ but the standard version looks fantastic
first
