Masters of the Universe Classics Slush Head Unboxing and Review


Hello everyone. So as anyone who reads my blogs or watches my videos should know by now, I am a massively huge super gigantic fan of Masters of the Universe. As a kid I had almost all of them, including several of the rare ones - The Sorceress, Scare Glow, the Eternia Towers, the works. So it came to great surprise to me to find Mattel released updated versions of the original toys. The cool thing about MOTU Classics is that the line also included characters from She-Ra Princess of Power, as well as the New Adventures of He-Man, which is where Slush Head is from.

So anyway, I got into this line a little late in the game, which means I now get to buy all of these at super inflated collectors prices. So I've made it a point to not go crazy buying every single one of these, instead focusing only on key characters that I really want. 

Which brings us to Slush Head. I was already getting a bit too old for toys when New Adventures came out (or so I thought...) I do remember the show and I thought it was pretty good, but by this point I  was already in middle school and wasn't playing with toys anymore, so I'm looking at these characters with unbiased eyes. The figure itself looks good and has great detail. We lose articulation at the head and waist, but all the other standard points are there. One thing I'm disappointed with is the metal tentacles, which are not bendable and attach in a flimsy way. It would have been much better to have these be of the rubber "bendie" type with a wire inside. 

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this figure, it looks great on the shelf and fits in with the other classics figures well. Expect to see more of these reviews as I build up a large collection of these.
