Mondo has teamed with Mattel to launch a He-Man Deluxe 1/6 Scale Figure.
Designed by Emiliano Santalucia, the figure boasts over 30 points of articulation, fabric costume elements and a raft of accessories, including a Power Sword, Classic Shield and an Ankle Knife.
“This is the definitive version that celebrates He-Man, as well as some of his most well-known accessories from the original Mattel releases in the ‘80s,” said Hector Arce, Creative Director for Toys and Collectibles at Mondo.
“We entrusted the awesome Emiliano Santalucia with fleshing out our ideas and redesigning He-Man. The idea was to make it feel fresh, yet true to the classic aesthetic. Emiliano has extensive knowledge of the MOTU world, so having his expertise on board and designing the figure was one of our favourite parts about the entire process.”
