If you’re not a Club Eternia member, here’s what you’ll be missing out on – Wun-Dar, the Savage He-Man. VeeBee has a great first look at the Club Eternia exclusive figure that will ship in April. I love the nod to Wonder Bread on the harness – check out the pic from the back if you’re not seeing it.
Day three of our First Look Marathon brings us to Wednesday – and what a Wun-Darful Wednesday it is! Yeah, sorry, I promise that will be the only time I do that. Promise. Yep, we have a preview of the April-shipping, 2010 Club Eternia exclusive Wun-Dar figure. The He-Man with a mysterious origin finally, after decades in the shadows, takes his rightful place among the heavy weights of the MOTU mythos.
However, don’t bother fighting the Red Screen of Death to get him because, well, you can’t buy him! If you are a 2010 Club Eternia member he will be traveling with Evil-Lyn and the map of Eternia in April as your club incentive figure. If you are not a Club member, well, we have some pictures for you to look at!

Who the heck is Wun-Dar? Haha! I like the idea of being able to be billed for figures but not ones that I’d pass on in the toy aisles. 😛 j/k King Grayskull is cool and I buy that He-Ro is his buddy. The green sorceress looking like Teela is kinda cute. I just think this collection is integrating lots of newer characters instead of ones for the fans like kitschy Stinkor or Orko. Where are the Horde collection? She-Ra’s friends of the Great Rebellion? Fisto? Chopper? Clamp Champ? I’d like to see a Madam Razz figure down the line somewhere. She didn’t get no love in the first run either. These are all just my thoughts. Also, now that we know there is a market for these figures will we ever see prices go back down to what they were in the 1980’s? If you’re gonna think like a fan you gotta put yourself in their shoes when this property was hot originally. What was the grab? It was affordable and looked cool to boot. Competitors like Hasbro had the thinking that the entire assortment of GI Joe for the year could be purchased for under 100 dollars. The playsets were what costed all the money. That was what you shelled out for. So one suburban kid could have it for the whole block to play with. If we spend 20 bucks a figure, what would Castle Greyskull go for? How playable then are the toys for kids to reenact the way their parents played? For extreme adults that play now even harder than they did as kids? Are they durable? How much beating can they take before scuff or tear? Does the paint chip easily? This line shouldn’t in particular appeal to inebriated high art collectors. That is what Bowen Designs is for. He-Man would rock out to WASP, Ozzy or RUN-DMC and LL Cool J. Not… Depeche Mode. Gah! He’s a 20 piece chicken mcnugget eating dude! Not some nancy eating salads and watching their carbs. If this were Demolition Man then He-Man would be Stallone or Denis Leary. Just my thoughts.
