Super 7 vintage style Filmation Man-At-Arms review





Man-at-Arms: A well known Masters of the Universe (MOTU) character; lecture-giver to Orco; one third of He-Man's secret keepers; master of  weapons; and winner of "best facial hair in Eternia" three years in a row. But is one I would file under "didn't look like the cartoon character so I got Leech instead". As Mattel soon realised, Duncan (to use his off duty name, and because it's quicker to write than Man-At-Arms) without his moustache isn't a proper Man-At-Arms- even though the toy, sans 'tache, was designed before the cartoon was ever in production. But it's my toy collection, so if I insist Duncan looks like a Tom Selleck dressed as a techno knight then I will. And now Super 7 has seen fit to correct that plastic error of old by releasing a proper, moustached Duncan as part of their vintage style line inspired by the old, Filmation cartoon of the 80s.
