Evil Lyn (Meg Foster) is in his corner and they are both very evil and mean. Skeletor has captured the Sorceress (Christina Pickles) and is holding her, awaiting He-Man’s arrival. If they did show up, they didn’t look much like the characters you knew and loved. If you had He-Man action figures, you wanted to see some characters in this and they were nowhere to be found.
Frank Langella was cast as Skeletor and that turned out to be the best part of the film, but where they dropped the ball was the lack of attention to the source material. They checked a lot of boxes, casting ROCKY IV’s Ivan Drago, Dolph Lundgren, as the lead role and did a great job on the look of the film. With a budget of 22 million, it had some way to go to make it back and would only recover 17 million of it, and there is a big reason why. The action figures were so popular that it led to the production of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, a 1987 film that would lose some money and was partly responsible for putting Cannon Films out of business. I was 9 at the time, and I wanted to get them, but my mother kept buying me the knockoff cheap ass ones that you find at the grocery store that looked like a person with problems made them.

In this take on MOTU both the heroes and villains can be transformed, so Skeletor at one point has his Dark Masters. From what I've seen most of the stuff other than the Chaos Snake Attack and the 8.5 inch Battle Armor He-Man seemed to disappear from the shelves during Christmas, so the line clearly has fans. Obviously these figures are truly made for kids in mind and I do applaud Mattel for putting out a variety of characters, having plenty of stuff in the pipeline, and keeping these at a fairly reasonable price point. The toyline has been rather average so far. I really enjoy the Netflix He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show as it's putting something out that's quite different yet still feels like MOTU to me and I'm thrilled the second season was just announced. I haven't found Sorceress or Orko yet but I did get Evil-Lyn for Christmas and I was quite excited for her. I ended up skipping reviewing the standard Man-At-Arms and Powers of Grayskull He-Man since they were pretty similar to other releases (I'm sure I'll come back to them at some point) but I didn't want to skip Evil-Lyn.
