First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Optikk – TheFwoosh.com
VeeBee has a nice first look up for Optikk, the first figure in Masters of the Universe Classics from The New Adventures of He-Man. I know there’s a fair amount of derision aimed at that animated series – I have never seen it, so I can’t comment. But I do know that I like way Optikk looks – and there’s your pun for the day.
I have learned a lot about the Galactic Guardians and Space Mutants in the past year or so gearing up the eventual release of the first NA figure. When Optikk was announced, I was quite pleased. While there are several NA figures with cool designs (mostly the bad guys), Optikk and Slush Head have been my two most wanted (and if the Trade Mark hints are any indication, Slushy just might be next).
Believe it or not, Optikk utilizes a lot of reuse, probably more than you would expect at first. For the most part, he is Kronis – arms, chest and legs. He has a brand new “armor” piece that is quite impressive from a design/scupt standpoint (it is removable). Leave it to the Horsemen, they even sculpted the dial on his back from the old figure (just for show on this version). In lieu of the furry shorts, Optikk has a more modern, um brief(?) that will work perfectly for a certain as-yet-unproduced hero with many faces. Again, this is sculpted really well and fits so that it is not bulky (like Adora) so I hope that for any short/skirt/pant pieces they follow this pattern.
