As a black fan of MOTU, I didn’t like the race swap of King Grayskull. Why? Because Kevin Smith and all the lame heads behind the making and production of the Revelation series, didn’t think enough of its black fan base to create all new black characters or even utilize the already established ones (Clamp Champ), but instead, decided to lazily race swap King Grayskull as black. It’s basically giving the black fans a hand me down white character turned black for some bullshit PR stunt of inclusiveness or diversity. I’m all for diversity, but create original characters from scratch with unique characteristics. The inclusion of SUN-MAN was a breath of fresh air to MOTU. But race swapping King Grayskull was pure ineptness and laziness to create a new black character and then making an excuse that it’s a multiverse in order to justify making that swap.

I agree. The design looks nice but I'd rather have it named differently rather name him after an existing character in the name of race swapping for the "times". It's also crazy how they treated Clamp Champ and even "King Grayskull" in the series. I don't know how long will I wait (or probably never 😥) for Mattel to actually make an actual King Grayskull figure considering how difficult to get any MOTUC figures nowadays.

I feel the same about the price difference. It's a nice figure in itself, but doesn't quite feel it has enough to be "deluxe" pricing. It's a sort of character that FEELS it deserves deluxe status, but just kinda needed more (for one thing, I personally I feel the armour is rather plain and basic looking for a king, and coulda had some more detailing or gold highlights at least, even if is based on the simplified animated look).

I feel bad that this line has so much potential and Mattel is making really good looking figures but Kevin Smith made a garbage story and these figures are pegwarming BIG TIME! To me MYP series is the best (design and story) so the original King Grayskull will always be my King Grayskull and this one, an easy pegwarming pass. The change wasn't necessary. I could handle the feminist Teela and the show going that direction but what was what really bothered me of this show? Man At Arms shouldn't be Teela's biological father. Fisto being Duncan's brother and Teela's real father was one of the best things of 200X and seriously made it more interesting. Kevin Smith did not honor this franchise, he is threatening it. I have not met 1 single person that likes the KS story, the figures shelf warming at clearance is proof that the Netflix show left a bitter taste on most of the fans...

Although I love all incarnations of MOTU to varying degrees, I admit I've yet to gain any major love for King Grayskull where he wasn't introduced until 200x and my default love is vintage (I know, stupidly picky!). Saying that, he's an interesting character and I often tweak characters to fit my own (early barbarian based) mythos anyway. I like the cape with it's wire flexibility allowing for some good posing, and although I like that soft materials on action figures are becoming more common again, I feel the furry shoulder detailing looks quite clumpy and unwieldy and maybe could've been implemented it better. The shield looks really good, and the "two halves of the power sword" are not only a homage to the vintage power sword(s), but also Skeletor's "two bladed" 200x sword (which I believe was originally intended to represent both halves of the power sword but this idea was dropped) - but such a shame they don't actually fit together! I feel the armour looks a bit simplistic and plain for a king; maybe coulda had some gold detailing (in place of the red 'squares' on some versions of He-Man's armour) to make him feel a bit more regal. Not a bad figure at all, though I kinda feel one that might benefit from some customisation or mixing and matching, and other than the cape doesn't have much that makes him feel particularly "deluxe" IMO. I may pick one up but considering deluxe figures cost more (especially by the time they reach the UK!) it's one I'll want to see at the right discount price instead of desperately hunting one down.
