Now that I kind of have a supplier here in the UK I may get Faker when he is released next month.

Faker as a character is the one from the initial burst of figures i hated - even as a kid I knew when I was being ripped off and while I don't remember being hacked off about the He-man line generally being a massive reuse of a small number of parts he just annoyed me. I always mocked him for basically being the worst doppleganger in creation and I used to really think Eternians had to be as dumb/blind as everyone that worked at the Daily Planet if they were going to mistake him for He-man. But what can you do....? It's a 4h sculpted MOTU figure so I'm pretty much powerless against it...

I'm thinking yeah, 2 figures for 60 is GREAT DEAL! Okay seeing Stratos is more or less gone in less than 3 days. I'm thinking yeah, 2 figures for 60 is GREAT DEAL!

So he could've originally looked exactly like He-Man and Skeletor and Tri-Klops gave him the touches of evil!(Blue skin and armor like Skeletor's) Just a thought. I was going to pass on this Faker but missed out on the 200x version. So he's definitley on my list. I love the red eyes! Another great review Poe!

Yep, I think that Robot Chicken skit explains best why Faker would be blue. :) LOL! Yep, I think that Robot Chicken skit explains best why Faker would be blue. :)
