00:00 Someone's about to get a gift from Grayskull.
00:02 Here's a look at the Mattel Master Universe, Masterverse,
00:05 Master Universe Revelation, Prince Adam.
00:07 [music]
00:14 [paper crinkling]
00:28 He-Man did it! He finally defeated Skeletor,
00:31 but in doing so, it cost him his life and his secret identity.
00:34 His friends and family are shattered by the truth that He-Man was actually Prince Adam all along.
00:39 After coming back to pre-eternia, Prince Adam has a second lease on life,
00:43 and another chance to make things right with those he loves the most.
00:46 Now, if you're worried about secret identities, I think your secret is safe with all of us.
00:50 Of course, before we get a closer look, well, except for maybe that guy over there.
00:53 He's already... oh, he's dashing for the door.
00:55 Okay, there goes your secret.
00:57 Before, of course, we get a closer look at the Master Universe, Masterverse, Master Universe Revelation,
01:01 I probably don't even need to say all of that.
01:02 You get the idea. It's Revelation, Prince Adam.
01:05 Let's grab the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands.
01:07 Now, I honestly don't mind the idea that Prince Adam was actually a boy and then transformed into He-Man,
01:12 instead of just trying to pass off that He-Man was just a darker-tanned Prince Adam.
01:16 Nobody was really buying that. Apparently, they were, though.
01:18 A Prince Adam, though, stands about six and a half inches in height,
01:21 or the figure's gonna be about 17 centimeters tall,
01:24 like those guys always do when they join a gym.
01:27 This is your before, by the way, and this is your after shot.
01:30 Apparently, you also grow in height as well.
01:32 Here's what the Prince Adam, though, looks like with the Master Universe Revelation He-Man,
01:35 at least the current one that we have right now.
01:37 And here's as well what the figure looks like with the most recently looked at Revelation figure,
01:40 that being, if I give him the stand, that being Clam Champ.
01:44 Apparently, Prince Adam also has before and after swords as well.
01:47 But just before we actually look at that, the figure comes in clear with no interest at all.
01:51 No interest. The figure comes in clear with some closed fists.
01:54 I guess fists are fine. I mean, really, I'm gonna be...
01:56 I already have in my mindset what I'm gonna be displaying the figure looking like,
02:00 and fists don't fall into that.
02:02 Anyways, though, if you did want to, the figure comes in clear with these,
02:04 and simply just a case of, well, popping out the hands from the forearms.
02:08 I was told not to make that popping sound, so I'm just gonna head...
02:11 If you wanted to, you could easily remove the gripping hands from the forearms,
02:15 and then just replace it with one of these if you wanted to.
02:18 The figure, as well, like I said, does come with a before and after sword.
02:21 I don't know if that's the best way to describe these.
02:23 One is, though, a translucent sword.
02:25 You can see that it's been made of clear plastic,
02:27 and it has all this cool little glitter effect to it.
02:30 And then there's just this sword.
02:31 I would imagine this would be the sword that Adam's always carrying around with him,
02:34 and then when he draws this out and summons the secrets of Castle Greyskull,
02:39 then the sword starts to glow like this.
02:41 I think even in the series, too, it glowed a little bit like this as well.
02:44 It's fine if they included something similar to this.
02:47 I mean, I would have preferred if they had had just electricity, for example,
02:50 that you could wrap around the existing sword.
02:52 You know, a Twilight sword, that's not bad, I guess, either.
02:56 Either one of these, by the way, can be fit in his hands.
02:58 He does also have gripping hands on both sides,
03:00 so you don't have to choose.
03:02 You don't have to have somebody twisting your rubber arm to decide for yourself.
03:05 You simply just, again, have him holding the sword.
03:08 I don't know. I'm not really loving it.
03:10 I mean, I guess for one way, at least they included a secondary accessory.
03:14 But again, I really would have preferred electricity instead.
03:17 I can tell you I'm a little on the fence, though, about the next accessory.
03:20 The figure comes included, first of all, with a neutral face,
03:23 but he also comes included with this head sculpt, too,
03:25 and it's a laughing Prince Adam.
03:27 You know, on paper, a laughing Prince Adam portrait does make possible sense.
03:33 I mean, somebody would, I'm sure, like to have the figure displayed chuckling the whole time,
03:37 slapping his thigh all the time because maybe Man-at-Arms told a very funny joke.
03:42 I don't know if I would ever see myself really say,
03:44 "Okay, I want to always display, for example, Prince Adam on my shelf
03:48 with a big smile on his face like this."
03:50 I guess it's practical, but it's not practical for what I would have done.
03:54 I think, first of all, that we have ourselves a neutral head sculpt example,
03:57 but, like, if he's going to be summoning the powers of Greyskull,
04:01 why wouldn't they have given him an expression that fits that?
04:03 A mouth open, for example.
04:05 You know, determination on his face.
04:08 I mean, heck, even the back of the packaging does, in fact,
04:10 actually have Prince Adam with sword in hand,
04:13 and he's got more like that screaming face.
04:15 I don't know why they would have settled on this head sculpt
04:17 when there were so many better options available.
04:20 I wouldn't say it's a horrible head.
04:22 I just think there's better head sculpts out there that they could have gone with instead.
04:26 Now, if you did want to, of course, change out the heads,
04:28 it's simply just a case of popping the head off
04:30 and then replacing it, of course, onto the ball joint.
04:32 Choose, for example, which one you'd like to go with instead.
04:35 Probably still going to settle on this one because I think it's the better of the two.
04:38 It's a younger Prince Adam.
04:39 I mean, obviously, you can see a more thinner-looking face.
04:42 Does have, like, longer locks as well,
04:44 apparently when he also transforms into He-Man.
04:46 Changes the color of his hair altogether as well.
04:49 I think it's probably going to be a little bit more in line with the newer He-Man
04:52 when we eventually get that figure.
04:53 His outfit, of course, is very more classic to the original filmation
04:56 and, of course, the original '80s Prince Adam.
04:59 Of course, instead of this being fabric, this is all in plastic.
05:02 The plastic is fairly well-molded.
05:04 There's not really a whole lot of paint applications,
05:06 mostly just in the collar, the ends of the shoulders,
05:08 and the front section of the belt,
05:10 but at least the smaller areas, the areas that you would notice the most
05:13 being having paint problems, the little tiny spots that he has, for example,
05:17 look actually quite well-painted.
05:19 Of course, he does also have paint down below here as well,
05:22 on the bottom of his jacket.
05:23 Would that be a jacket or a tunic?
05:25 Somebody could let me know down below in the comments section.
05:27 Lighter-colored pants, lighter-colored leggings.
05:30 Here he has in, like, a more violet-brown, a violet-violet-brown.
05:33 I'm looking at the boots here, violet-purple.
05:35 And speaking of brown, yes, he does have two colors of brown being used here.
05:38 More of a medium brown here for the majority of the boot,
05:41 but then the cuff on the top of the boot is kind of more handled with,
05:44 I would best describe as kind of a chocolate brown.
05:47 Spin the figure around so you can see it from all the sides.
05:50 If you want to change out the heads, for example, I already mentioned this,
05:52 you can just pop the head off the ball joint,
05:54 and just pop the new head in place.
05:57 I mean, again, like, it's not a terrible head,
06:00 but, I mean, again, with having the head always looking like this,
06:03 I always feel like Prince Adam, in fact, maybe he isn't even hearing a joke.
06:07 He's hearing a joke inside his head, and he's always just laughing.
06:10 Everybody around him is always like, "Why is Prince Adam, he's always laughing."
06:14 Yeah, it's an okay head sculpt,
06:16 not the one that's going to be ending up with the figure when I've got this guy displayed.
06:20 For the articulation on Prince Adam, his head's going to rotate all the way around.
06:23 It looks up, it looks down, and, of course, you can move it back and forth as well.
06:27 Shoulders come out at easily at 90 degrees.
06:30 The tunic, if you will call it that, does have enough clearance there in the shoulders
06:33 that you can easily bring the arms out at 90 degrees.
06:36 You can also, as well, take, of course, the arms and rotate them all the way around.
06:39 Here's a swivel at the bicep.
06:41 A single hinge only in the elbow, but at least it allows the forearm to rotate back and forth,
06:45 and the hands do rotate also all the way around with a hinge back and forth that way.
06:49 The upper torso seems to be like there's a ball joint actually underneath all that.
06:52 There, you can see right there.
06:54 And the figure also has a waist swivel, which seems to be the case right under there.
06:57 The legs do split out there on ball joints, so you can take the legs and move them forward.
07:01 You can move them back.
07:02 About three-quarters up the way of the thigh, you can swivel cut there.
07:05 There's a little swivel cut, so you can rotate that all the way around.
07:07 The figure has a double hinge on the knee.
07:09 The figure has, as well, articulation in the boot,
07:11 which seems to be the case with a lot of these Revelation figures.
07:14 Anytime there's a figure that tends to have a boot, it tends to also be the place where the figure swivels.
07:18 The figure also has ankle tilt, which unfortunately is a little loose on my figure.
07:23 Not as bad on this side, but this one's very notably loose.
07:26 But you can also rock it back and forth as well.
07:28 You know, again, it's a good--
07:30 I don't know if I would say some of the best choices made by Mattel
07:33 when it came to things that pack along with Prince Adam.
07:35 Honestly, I mean, he does have the Twilight Sword,
07:38 which, you know, again, if you like the more translucent, kind of see-through plastic with little glitter effects.
07:43 I guess it's good if he's actually summoning the powers of Castle Grayskull.
07:47 But again, I don't know if I would go with this head sculpt if he's doing it.
07:50 It seems actually like he's laughing all the time, which honestly he is.
07:53 I just don't think it fits really as good when it comes to displaying Prince Adam.
07:57 I'm definitely going to be displaying him more so with a neutral head sculpt.
08:00 It's a good Prince Adam if you're collecting the Revelations line.
08:03 I don't know if we will be getting a 6-inch version of Prince Adam
08:06 part of the Masterverse line or New Eternia.
08:09 I feel like New Eternia is kind of like where I'm more kind of wanting to gear my collecting towards
08:14 because New Eternia kind of has more updated molds to the original stuff that we were getting from, like, the Origins
08:19 and even before that, the vintage days of Mattel.
08:22 It's a good-looking Prince Adam, but it's going to, I feel, only be a stand-in Prince Adam
08:26 until maybe we get a better one, maybe from the Masterverse stuff, New Eternia, moving forward.
08:31 You can really see how this moment in time of He-Man calling the powers of Greyskull
08:36 seem diminished when you use this particular head sculpt.
08:39 A smiling or chuckling Prince Adam really doesn't work as well when you want to have the figure displayed
08:44 just before moments he becomes He-Man.
08:47 This head sculpt, I think, is fine if you want to just have him kind of just in a group shot
08:50 where he's with other figures from Master Universe Revelation,
08:53 but to be displayed turning into He-Man, this head sculpt does not work as well at all.
08:59 Speaking of the head sculpt, though, one thing I didn't actually mention in this review
09:02 that I'll kind of mention, it's going to be a little harder now to kind of look in and see this,
09:05 but the coloring of his neck is actually a little pale when you compare it
09:10 with the more warmer colors that they went with for his face.
09:13 His neck doesn't really line well enough when it comes to the color schemes,
09:16 but again, like, it's probably the case where they would have had to paint the neck,
09:19 and I'm guessing the head sculpt is probably something that they cast in the flesh-toned plastic.
09:24 Yeah, all in all, though, it's an okay Prince Adam. I mean, I don't love it, I don't hate it,
09:28 and it's going to, of course, fit in really nicely with the rest of my Master Universe Revelations.
09:33 It does also remind me, though, while I do have myself now a Prince Adam,
09:36 I do have myself as a He-Man, I don't have yet a Master Universe Revelation Battle Cat.
09:41 I never really liked the design, honestly, of Revelation Battle Cat,
09:44 and it was just always the case that I thought to myself,
09:46 "Okay, I'll eventually get around to getting Battle Cat when the price goes low enough."
09:50 Well, I've already gone to several stores, and the price has gone what I thought to be low enough at $10.
09:55 I don't know why I haven't yet picked up the Revelation Battle Cat.
09:58 Anyways, though, what do you guys think, though, of the Master Universe Revelation Prince Adam?
10:02 Do you also agree, like, maybe it's not the best head sculpt that Mattel would have settled with
10:06 when it came to releasing this figure?
10:08 I think, honestly, though, a yelling portrait would have made a little bit more sense,
10:11 but hey, what do I know? I don't design toys for a living.
10:14 What do you guys think of the figure? Let me know down below in the comments section.
10:17 Also, hey, as well, if you guys enjoyed this video, I want to hit it with a like.
10:20 If you guys are loving the content you guys are seeing, and you certainly would like to stick around for more,
10:24 by the way, you're going to be looking at some more Master Universe, Master Verse, that being the Revelation,
10:27 that being just the Master Verse on its own new Eternia.
10:30 There's definitely going to be a lot more He-Man videos coming your way.
10:32 Of course, as always, guys, thanks for watching. See you guys next time.
