00:00 poor He-Man's gotta be coping with a copy here's your look at the Mattel
00:04 Master Universe Masterverse the new Eternia faker
00:09 in his efforts to become the most powerful being in Eternia
00:28 Skeletor needed a vessel to harness the power of Greyskull
00:31 the evil lord combined mad science and dark magic to create Faker
00:35 a being strong enough to contain the energy of the universe and controllable
00:39 enough to be wielded against his enemies
00:41 this is what happens when you order He-Man from Wish
00:44 before we get a closer look at the Master Universe new Eternia faker
00:48 let's first grab the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands and I'll bring in a
00:51 couple figures also for comparisons
00:53 but right now though Faker stands seven inches in height or the figure's gonna be
00:57 about 18 centimeters tall
00:58 as promised here's a couple figures we can compare along with Faker first of all
01:02 here's what he looks like with the new Eternia He-Man
01:04 right away I can tell you while it looks to be the same case that they've used the
01:08 body again
01:08 they clearly have done something different with Faker's head that I wish
01:12 they could have then gone back and done differently now with He-Man
01:15 here's what the figure also looks like with the Revelation He-Man here's what
01:19 he also looks like with the 40th anniversary He-Man
01:21 here's what he also looks like with the Revelations Faker
01:25 here's also what the figure looks like with the new Eternia Skeletor
01:28 as well of course the man who's responsible for creating him and speaking of
01:31 dark magic why not
01:33 I'd also bring in Shadow Weaver it gave me also a good chance to go back and
01:36 talk about Shadow Weaver
01:37 as when I had a look at her review I forgot to mention actually that her
01:41 arms slipped inside the sleeves of her cape
01:45 giving her more accurate to the way that she should actually have looked but
01:48 obviously we're not be talking about Shadow Weaver in this review
01:51 let's jump over the accessories that come with Faker first of all the figure
01:54 comes in some swappable hands
01:56 I don't really think honestly either one of these hands are really worth the
01:59 package in the first place
02:00 you get a closed fist and then you get a flat hand
02:03 well the figure has extra accessories and I can't really ever see myself
02:07 wanting to use I guess I could use a relaxed hand I guess I could use a
02:11 closed fist
02:11 but it just seems so random that you get one of each
02:15 instead of two fists and two relaxed hands either case they're both actually
02:19 sculpted in blue to match the colors of course of the rest of the figures body
02:22 the figure also comes in clear with an axe I will say one thing I like about
02:27 the axe is the color of the orange the orange always really worked well for
02:30 Faker
02:31 not sure I really love the idea that we see the exposed metal on the one side
02:35 just to bring in an axe I think this may have belonged for example to was it the
02:40 40th anniversary He-Man
02:41 it looks to be that they may have used some of the molding elements
02:44 as it looks to be almost like one side is matching the other
02:48 this side is matching this side the handle is also very similar also as well
02:52 but I'm just not loving the fact they also added all this additional wash of
02:56 silver to it
02:57 I find it's more detracting than appealing and either way though you can
03:01 have the figure displayed with the axe in either really one of his hands
03:04 simply just fit this inside the grip again you
03:08 really don't have to have it necessarily on this side I'm just choosing for right
03:11 now at least to have that displayed on the figures
03:13 this side at least the figure also comes included with his version of the power
03:17 sword
03:18 I do like the coloring of this but still to go back to a mentioned already point
03:22 not loving the fact it has to have all this additional silver on it
03:26 this is one of those things where it's unnecessary
03:29 adding of extra paint Transformers at one point did this also as well where
03:33 they added all these
03:34 damaged effect painted pieces where they literally would just brush
03:38 on all this additional unnecessary silver I feel like in a way they're also
03:42 doing something very similar different company altogether
03:44 but I feel like Mattel is also taking a page from perhaps the Transformers book
03:48 and adding all what I feel to be unnecessary silver paint
03:52 to a sword that without that I think would have looked really nice
03:55 either way though the sword does hold in again his other hand so really if you
03:59 wanted to you can have them dual wielding accessories
04:01 or which you can also do too is that you can take the power sword
04:05 flip the figure around and sheath it
04:08 on the back of the figures body it's tight quarters mind you but it does fit
04:12 actually in there
04:13 I guess you could probably have it a little bit further down it will though
04:16 there will be a lot of it sticking up I mean really that's as
04:19 as far go it go a little bit further I think you're gonna start to run the risk
04:23 of stretching the plastic and even ripping it
04:24 let's go ahead right now take the axe out of his hand and why not will also
04:28 remove the sword she
04:30 but that's also the side get a closer look at faker I love the look at this
04:33 figure except for really one thing
04:35 kind of in the already mentioned point about the and unnecessary paint being
04:39 added
04:40 I don't know why he has dark navy across his forehead
04:44 he has it here in his cheeks which isn't really as much as an eyesore for me
04:48 but he has almost this weird rub of
04:51 of navy paint across the top of his forehead I can imagine this is across
04:56 the board that every factory printing
04:58 making faker decided that this was a good idea to put blue across
05:02 I feel like what I have in front of me is probably just a a mispainted figure
05:06 like it really wasn't supposed to be there in the first place if you have
05:10 this figure let me know
05:11 if you have also similar blue on the top your forehead not your forehead
05:14 faker and if you do you have my condolences I really don't think that
05:18 that
05:19 helps at all the figures head sculpt in fact again I feel like it takes a lot
05:22 away from it
05:23 speaking taking a lot away I just wanted to bring back
05:27 wanna bring back the original master verse he meant what a horrendous looking
05:31 head sculpt
05:31 this had sculpt I really like and in fact I would have almost even use this head
05:36 sculpt I feel for like the 40th anniversary release of human versus the
05:39 one that we got
05:40 how is it that faker a copy of human
05:43 I might also wanna say how is it a copy of human
05:46 does a better job of getting a head sculpt right then
05:50 the other humans like this is the anniversary human for example
05:53 if they had only just found a way to use this head sculpt
05:56 and carried over to a human figure body I think we'd actually have a home run
06:01 unfortunately though I'm in course we overlooking the very large chest this is
06:04 this human happens to have as well I think this all in all a good-looking
06:08 human
06:09 if they had only painted this in a skin tone as well like the hair
06:13 I like the way they sculpted the cheeks the mouth expression is also good as
06:16 well
06:16 it doesn't have eyeballs while he does have a ball see doesn't have a course
06:20 pupils
06:21 but all in all it's a great-looking head sculpt I really would love to see this
06:24 get released again for human cuz
06:26 I'm just looking around it like the larger seven-inch scale human figures
06:30 I don't think we've yet to get this head sculpt here
06:33 of course when it comes to his outfit his office a little bit more closer what
06:37 we would get for Skeletor
06:38 just gonna bring back in for example a new Eternia Skeletor it seems to be the
06:42 case that they are using of course the exact same bodies
06:44 even right back to the holstered sheet section where of course that can then
06:48 store the sword it does look like they are using the exact same armor
06:51 which of course would be correct bodies are also seeming to be the shared the
06:55 same as well the only thing is actually different between the two figures
06:58 is the loincloth Skeletor has a much longer loincloth than what we actually
07:02 get for Faker. Faker matches more though I think to
07:05 the most powerful man in the universe than what we would get for Skeletor but
07:09 yeah again like a body looks really good except for only the one mentioned point
07:13 before
07:13 why did it have to have all this crap paint all across the forehead
07:17 I'd be really curious if anybody else has had that problem
07:21 lower down from that of course he does have little bracelets there on his arms
07:24 those are nicely molded here in black plastic
07:26 and like even like the belt just to go back to the loincloth for a second I'm
07:29 glad that
07:30 here I am talking about my complaining of the accessories for example
07:34 having unnecessary paint and yet praising the paint the fact that would
07:37 actually been added to the belt just that little bit a silver love
07:40 does bring a little more detail I think to the belt of course the lower half of
07:44 his body is just your standard furry boots
07:47 which again really when to look at them for example let's just bring a couple
07:50 He-Man's for right now
07:51 they look to be the exact same boots that we did get from the 40th anniversary
07:55 release
07:56 again just a strange top torso for He-Man so it looks like the lower legs
08:00 are carried over different loincloth funny enough though it's not the same
08:03 one that we got for He-Man
08:05 it's a lot more foliage in the loincloth but yeah like
08:09 other than that it's pretty much mostly used from a He-Man body before
08:12 and Skeletor's just different head. For the figure's articulation
08:16 back to the head the head is on a ball joint so it rotates all the way around
08:19 it hinges up it hinges down and it rocks back and forth as well
08:23 upper torso is on a ball joint so it moves it does make a lot of noises
08:27 though
08:27 the first few times that I've done this it creaks a few times
08:32 and that seems to be okay again the lower half of his body also seems to be
08:36 only
08:36 seems to be really on a swivel joint so it only rotates back and forth this way
08:41 arms come out I would say at 90 degrees comfortably I mean there's nothing
08:44 really getting in the way of things
08:45 it's only really until you start rotating his arm that he has to pass
08:49 through all these curtains that he has
08:50 but yeah he has a bicep swivel the figure does have a double hinge on the
08:53 elbow and the hands do rotate also all the way around
08:56 legs split and because they did put a split or at least a lower
09:00 shorter area to the loin cloth on the side it means that Faker can actually
09:04 pull off a successful splits
09:06 you can of course take the legs and move forward you can move them back three-quarters of the way up the thigh
09:10 there's a swivel cut so that rotates the leg all the way around
09:13 figure has a double hinge on the knee articulation here in the boots
09:16 back and forth on the feet and you can also rock them back and forth this as well
09:20 yeah all in all I really like the look at this Faker the only thing that really
09:24 is a detractor for me
09:26 is the fact that he does have all this crap blue across the front of his forehead
09:29 why is that there? why did that even have to be a talking point in the first place?
09:32 but though just to bring back in a couple of these revelations
09:36 not revelations, the masterverse figures just to slide over He-Man
09:39 put in He-Man though in the middle and bring back in Skeletor
09:42 you know again like He-Man now to me seems even more like a sore thumb
09:47 why do they keep making a mistake when it comes to He-Man?
09:50 they are only the company that produced He-Man in the first place and yet they
09:54 struggle again and again to come up with a perfect sculpt for He-Man
09:57 you know again let's just you know move Skeletor out of the way here for a second
10:00 let's just bring back in the 40th anniversary He-Man
10:03 if you can overlook the oversized torso that he has which I think is still
10:07 ridiculous
10:07 if we could only only get something closer to this
10:11 which again is somewhat so ironic the fact that Faker being a carbon copy
10:15 a believable carbon copy of course he's all in blue
10:18 but if to get a copy of He-Man do it actually better than the original
10:23 that's pretty sad I would love to see this body get used again
10:27 of course more in the color scheme of what we get with either one of these guys
10:30 and get a proper He-Man. He-Man this time around I think needs to take a few cues
10:35 from his Faker
10:36 I've come to realize I seem to like the carbon copies of characters
10:40 when they're painted in blue. I'm not only of course mentioning Faker that we
10:43 looked at in this review but I'm also thinking of
10:45 NES Jason what a weird departure that is we're just talking about Master Universe
10:49 and now I'm talking about Friday the 13th
10:51 but that's also a case where you have a character that normally would be
10:54 one color and they change the color completely giving him a blue mask and
10:58 purple body
10:58 there's something just about those two types of characters NES Jason and Faker
11:03 that every single time a release comes out of those characters I always want to
11:06 pick them up
11:07 now having Faker at least in hand I really like the way that this did turn
11:10 out
11:10 yeah I'm not crazy about the fact it has a big smear of navy blue across the top
11:14 of his forehead but
11:15 I gotta feel like that's not the case that everyone across the board who ever
11:19 had the chance to picking up Faker for themselves
11:21 would have still that same problem I'm sure I'm just one of the lucky ones
11:25 the thing I also really like about the figure is the color scheme yeah there's
11:28 no way at all this guy would be ever posing as the most powerful man in the
11:31 universe and everyone would just say hey he-man
11:33 now everybody would know right away that this is clearly just a copy a bad copy
11:36 for that matter
11:37 but man does it ever translate to a really nice plastic figure other than
11:41 just having what I feel to be one of the best
11:43 he-man head sculpts which is again so ironic to be saying that
11:46 but it does have again like all the things I really like about Faker in the
11:49 first place
11:50 one thing I did don't want to mention about the figure not only just the
11:53 accessories that he includes but
11:54 at least on mine I again I can't stress for
11:58 if anyone else has had the same similar problem but I noticed at least with mine
12:01 that when I'm turning the torso
12:03 it's coming up to it right now when you turn the torso a certain way it
12:07 seems to start to separate the front half from the back half the figures
12:11 torso
12:11 that seems to be only the case whenever I twist the figures body
12:15 if anybody else has happened to pick up Faker let me know if you've also had a
12:18 similar issue down below but
12:19 you know again like I really like the look this one this one turned out really
12:22 good
12:23 I'm not crazy about the additional silver that they had to add to the power
12:26 sword
12:26 or the axe for that matter and of course I'm not loving the fact that there's
12:29 that blue across the top of his forehead
12:31 but in that boy this Faker turned out really neat what do you guys think of the figure?
12:35 let me know down below in the comment section
12:37 and if you have picked up this figure for yourself do you also have that
12:41 unsightly blue smear? no no no we're not talking about his face
12:45 he has blue from head to toe no I mean like that darker
12:48 coloring of blue do you have that also across the top of your Faker's forehead
12:51 let me know down below in the comment section as a side note also let me just
12:55 say too I know I'd already beat the
12:57 beat a dead horse to death here again and again in this review
13:01 but I just wanted to say to Mattel please use this head sculpt if you
13:05 haven't already planned this for a He-Man please please do
13:08 because I feel like this is one of the best He-Man's that we've gotten and funny
13:11 enough again
13:12 it's not even He-Man once again though if you guys enjoyed this video I want to hit it with a like
13:16 if you guys are loving the content you guys are seeing and certainly do want to stick around for more
13:19 Master Universe by the way we will be looking at more as I did pick up this
13:22 entire wave
13:23 so we will be looking at for example like Merman, Buzz Off and we will be
13:27 looking at
13:28 what's the other one's name I'm drawing a complete blank but of course all the rest
13:31 this wave will be coming your way
13:33 the key to making sure that you're not missing out on any of that is that
13:36 you're turning on the bell notification but I guess more importantly
13:38 first you're hitting that subscribe button down below then you're turning on the bell
13:42 notification of course as always guys thanks for watching
