MOTU Masterverse New Eternia Deluxe Ram Man

 

I picked up this Deluxe New Eternia Ram Man at a discounted price on the secondary market recently, quite late to the game- a tremendous oversight as this is one of the best Masterverse figures produced, with a fantastic sculpt/deco, loaded with accessories.

When the Masterverse line first dropped in 2021, it wasn't clear if we would be getting traditional representations of all the Masters of the Universe characters, or if the line would only follow the Netflix Revelations series. We did begin seeing classic representations though, accelerating with the New Eternia launch. We get a classic Ram Man in the New Eternia series that hits all the right notes and beyond.

Below, Ram Man with his head & chest overlay that are purportedly based on designer Mark Taylor's concept art, featuring goggled eyes and chest armor- I'm unfamiliar with the horned devil insignia, but shouldn't it be a ram's head? I love the clips on the back of this additional armor for stowing his axe!

Clawful is no match for Ram Man!

The third head sculpt features another concept drawing with a fully masked helmet and an orange key insignia on the back, the symbolism of which I cannot find anything about. I really like this beefed-up combo!

which was also a deluxe offering in that line, and one of my favorites...

Below, Ram Man with some of my other Masterverse Heroic Warriors: Jitsu, Battle Armor He-Man, Teela, and Fisto. I can't say enough good things about the New Eternia Ram Man, which has to be my favorite of them all. I have more Masterverse and Origins to show you here on the Super-DuperToyBox- thanks for reading!

MOTU Origins Deluxe Ram Man

I scored this MOTU Origins Deluxe Ram Man free using Amazon points I'd accumulated in the last couple months, my nostalgia strong for the 1983 version I loved as a child. An extra hand, head, and axe that pegs into the end of the handle of the original axe included make this figure truly deluxe.

Ram Man's spring loaded legs were a feature of the original figure, now activated merely by pressing down on the figure, unlike the previous lever activated spring release. I'm not usually crazy about play features that hinder a figure's articulation, but with Ram Man it's somehow charming...

Below, Temple of Darkness Sorceress greets He-Man, Man-at-Arms, and Teela, who bring Ram Man into the fold of Eternia's Heroic Warriors when knighted a protector of Castle Grayskull ...!

There is added articulation on this updated Ram Man- his neck is somewhat limited by the armored head, though the soft plastic of his helmet gives a little. Hinges at the elbows, wrists, and knees give a little more dynamism to him, but you won't get the kind of poses other MOTU Origins figures can. Below, Ram Man attacks Castle Grayskull intruder, Beastman ...!

And finally, Ram Man with my MOTU Origins Deluxe Battle Armor Skeletor and He-Man. I enjoyed getting deluxe figures in this line with extra accessories, especially the alternate heads. While I didn't have the Battle Armor Skeletor as a kid, the He-Man and Ram Man figures are certainly in the spirit of their '80s counterparts. Recommended!
