If you haven't watched the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show on Netflix, I highly suggest it. Despite being aimed at a much younger demographic than the average toy collector, it's a really fun show and an interesting re-interpretation of the He-Man lore. It reminds me of 2011's Voltron Force in the way they took major liberties with the source material, but it was done with a level of geeky respect that it's somehow not offensive to the loyalists. I get that there will always be new shows with a primary objective of attracting younger modern audiences, and balancing that with a rabid fanbase can be an impossible task. But I really enjoy this cartoon and I'm excited that Mattel is pumping out toys to promote it. Sure, the articulation is limited, and sure, it takes a while to make a visual connection between these characters and the originals, but this Evil-Lyn is very fun and very playable. I can't wait to get my hands on Sorceress and Ram-Ma'am. Let's check out the Netflix animated Evil-Lyn below!
Evil-Lyn comes with a version of her classic orb-staff with a bat shape at the top.
Evil-Lyn has an action figure where her waist snaps back when you rotate her torso back - enabling her to swing her staff. This is very reminiscent of the vintage He-Man toys.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Evil-Lyn with a recent Lightning Collection Yellow Ranger and a Marvel Legends Sylvie for size comparison,
Cheers!
