FIX Your Masterverse He-Man Head!

[@GeekHub7]

He-Man to Mattel is what Superman is to McFarlane Toys. They just can’t or don’t want to make a perfect head sculpt for him. If you have a MOTUC He-Man, you can also use its head.

[@fanboysforever]

It’s definitely a similar sort of situation since both characters are instantly iconic yet generic in their square jawed superhero guy good looks. However, I would argue that Mattel hasn’t missed as wildly as McFarlane has a few times with Superman. Some of those are just impossibly bad.

Fantastic thing to share.

[@MrHootiedean]

Thanks so much! I used this method on my Cartoon Collection Man At Arms and imo he now looks perfect.

[@AndresGonzalez-ln7cg]

I just tried it this morning, perfect! I almost passed on this figure because of the chin but when I saw this video, I bought it and gave it a try. Now he's my favorite He-man in my collection.

[@timmyv.4056]

So much better! Bravo!!! Thanks for the heads up

[@The_mad_collector]

I just tried this and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@Dwight-y9w]

I did hot water and cold water get him out now okay love Dwight Jr on

[@Grotesque_denizen]

Nice! I think this is the best He Man from the Masterverse line and this only solidifies that

[@idstealer000]

I'll give this a shot, thank you.

[@loganrussell5887]

Thank you! I shall definitely try this.

[@peloquin5652]

it looks ... different, I don't know if it looks better or not, but tbh I really like the new head, I think he looks great and is overall the best Masterverse He-Man and for me on par with the Classic He-Man.

[@themaqueovelic2195]

Yeah I personally feel like he's corrected the gripes I had with the original Masterverse release(s), the usual "oh if this, this and this were different it'd be great!", New Eternia made many fixes, 40th & Savage tested out new torsos, New Adventures ensured he had the right hands, and movie (as well as 40th I suppose) finally sorted out the correct head size, which lead us to this He-Man which isn't just damn great but even seems to have become the new Masterverse standard as New Eternia Thunder Punch seems to be showing! Hope we get a 200X and comic based look out of this mold too!

[@fanboysforever]

It’s just completely subjective isn’t it? Everyone is looking for something a little different with it.

[@sunnyshine2215]

Thanks for this, just did mine, He-Man’s head is currently setting in the fast freeze 😂

[@fanboysforever]

Awesome!

[@solar_ikwla]

Excellent solution👍🏿. But I think the Mold Release explanation may be too generous. In my opinion, it is more likely that the sculpt is a direct response to the horrible Revelation He-Man figure and the chin is an overcorrection. As stated in the video, botched He-Man sculpts are nothing new. The issues with his sculpt have more to do with being easy to get wrong than hard to get right. Not because there is one definitive likeness, but because things can go south when the purpose is not sound. There have been problems communicating "who he is" since the 80s, at the same time there have been many instances of it being done seamlessly. Funny enough, things like "high end" vs "affordable" or custom vs factory are not the determinate factors.

[@jeremywilson5134]

Worked perfectly! Thanks for the video!

[@themaqueovelic2195]

I personally likd how it looks outta the box, but I've seen more than a few people have the same gripes as you do so I how those people see your tutorial so they'll be happier with it. Either way I can't wait to see your review of this guy! He's my favorite Masterverse and my all time favorite He-Man action figure by now (yeah I'd argue he beats out all previous Masterverse and even Classics!), so I've been excitedly waiting for my favorite MOTU reviewer to talk about him!!!

[@3xl382]

I was skeptical about this trick, but it does look much better after! I think that fixes the only flaw with this figure and I'm glad to know it's an easy solution. Thanks for sharing!

[@carn9507]

Oh yeah I did that with a hairdryer when I got my Rev He-Man beginning of March. I'd done it to some figures before, but yeah several Masterverse ones, such as Movie 1987 He-Man and New Adventures He-Man who both had weirdly long faces too. :) I haven't done it to my second Rev He-Man yet (I bought another cos I accidentally broke the neck of my first one) cos it seems oddly less an issue on it (as well as a couple other issues fixed, such as the harness took an HOUR for me to put on my first figure when I first got it, but on my new one it was simple) so perhaps Mattel have made some small changes.

[@carlwilliams856]

Great thanks, only thing that bothered me about this figure was the face sculpt but I can now sort that out, top man!

[@xiotrak8155]

This is impressive. I was not convinced enough to buy this new he man because of the shape of the head, but after seen this fix im very interested, thank you!!

[@GeekHub7]

Thank you for sharing this fix. I will definitely do this once I receive my BA He-Man 👍🏼

[@TheWandifan]

Man, that’s a great idea!!!

[@culeroconnor1686]

Even thoni do like the new headsculpt. What you dod make it so much better i do the hot watrer trick when i want. To re mold hands or make a fist out of a gripping hand didint accour to me that could work with heads. Thank you so much

[@Shiva-Kumar138]

Excellent work ! Not sure if it will last long in our hot climatic conditions, but it surely worth trying. Kudos to you !! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@karltech1012]

This is some sort of a miracle! It's a HUGE difference 😮

[@Reach008]

Thank you! I just did it and it looks so much better!!

[@bctan2291]

it actually looks better, thanks!

[@spideymax1222]

That is amazing I’m trying this for sure!!!!❤

[@nikoszparaszkevopulosz5522]

I gaved him the thunder punch head fits him well and gived that fig the new eternia extra head

[@TobyKester9]

I am at a loss for words. That trick is amazing!!

[@ryanlevack9361]

Omg you sir are a hero!

[@eugeniusmorflam7278]

Awesome dude, thanks and I normally do pop and swap customs.I don't know why I didn't think about reshaping the face.Thank you

[@artofgarduno]

Heman has been mewing

[@omisokaomisokas5095]

Excellent job my friend!

[@Dwight-y9w]

Look good okay love Dwight 👍

[@MortalGUnivers]

Excellent

[@facu1976]

Wow! A blackpilled collector looksmaxxing his figures 🤣

[@AlsoSprachDerHase]

Looks much better! Thanks for the tip 👍.

[@carlosarce6352]

I had this problem many years ago with the HORIZON TERMINATOR ARNOLD MODEL KIT, his face was too thin when he had a fuller face on the box he came in.

[@gonickyourself]

Well done! Hopefully I can find this figure at some point.

[@gmon78]

He's readily available on Amazon man 👍

[@colehammack9182]

Thank you! Fixed my He-Man !!

[@fanboysforever]

You have the power!

[@tomgibbs3223]

I did exactly as shown and it worked perfectly! Thanks very very much! New subscriber, here!

[@Aikidouka]

I just tried this and it turned out wonderful, thank you!

[@gmon78]

Looks great man. Great tip :)

[@motu-peter2072]

Great!! Thanx

[@Dwight-y9w]

Hey The Dwight 👍

[@alejandrovaldez7672]

I just do it thank you brooo..it's better now

[@privateprivate31337]

This probably won't hold over time unless it was misshapen to begin with

[@fanboysforever]

Still holding strong a week later (I filmed this a week ago) but hey you never know. I could always just repeat the process lol

[@yghostest]

does the boiling water damages any paint, wash or glue that may be on the head? And does the process of "fixing" the head somehow also warp stuff luke the hair or the overall head shape?

[@fanboysforever]

Nope. I’ve boiled and reshaped stuff like this for years and never once has this trick actually damaged anything. As for the hair, I mean you could sort of influence its shape a little but I doubt it very much.

[@yghostest]

@@fanboysforever Thanks for the info!

[@Toybountyhunter1974]

Do have a question. Does that head fit on the New Eternia He-man? Does the skin tone match fairly well?

[@fanboysforever]

Yes it fits and the tone is a perfect match.

[@gagaH78226]

Thank you for the tip fanboysforever, it really works...however I do appreciate He - Man's Aaron Eckhartesq chin...so I decided not to squish it too much, just enough so that his face doesn't look 'puffy' and I'm amazed it's holding its shape and didn't revert back into it's default form. You have the Power and have a great day ☕

[@veman5409]

👏👏👏👏

[@gregor-man1980]

Thanks

[@josray2557]

Wow...

[@MotUChris21]

That‘s a good idea 👍🏻

[@petirgarda1005]

Does the hair glued to the head? will the hot water worked on the hair too, or i have to use force to take off the hair after dipping the head in the hot water? i recently just got a thunderpunch He-Man but his hair is too placed way back so his forehead is wide. I want to correct it by making the hair more to the front. Closer to He-Man's eyebrows.

[@edism3]

wow man you did it, great thanks a lot
