With King He-Man, we got the first figure of the "Son of He-Man" faction... Due to the huge price King He-Man reached here in Europe (and he's just a variant), I didn't buy him. But I think he looked OK.
On the other hand, I can only cringe when I think about the other figures that were hinted at : Dare, Son of He-Man, and (most of all)... Skeleteen. I saw the drawings and the look of Skeleteen. I find it lame, boring and uninspired. I wonder what other figures they could come up with for this faction, but I can tell you right away that I won't buy Skeleteen. Should any other Son of He-Man figures be so bland, I can promise you it will be a "no purchase" for me !
I fear that the Son of He-Man characters will be a way for Matty and LIEguru to push their own designs into the line... and Mattel design team ideas caused some catastrophes in the past (remember 200X variant figures and vehicles).
Hence the title of this thread : Son of He-Man : a new recipe for disaster ?
