SpyMagician over at AFI has again made me hate him with his review of an early production sample of He-Ro. The review includes a look at the SDCC sticker and a better look at the bio.

It turns out the “sword of life” is actually the “sword of He.” Plenty of fans over at He-Man.org are unhappy with this idea, but I think it works. It’s sort of like Ra. Buuuut I can see how someone could think it was stupid. I also wish they’d gone with He-Ro’s original real name, “Gray,” but I suppose that might be confusing given the presence of King Grayskull in this canon.

After getting a good look at the black-molded translucent Power Sword, I do wish we could get it as a variant. It looks very cool, like a galaxy contained within a sword.

As for the figure itself–looks great. Can’t wait.
