It seems like a total no brainer for Mattel to make some Masters of the Universe Hot Wheels Character cars since Mattel is also the parent company that makes Masters of the Universe toys. With a couple new He-Man shows in the works it makes so much sense to be making this sort of cross over products. I had heard about the He-Man car online and knew I probably wouldn’t be able to find it at Walmart or Target anytime soon so I place an order for the whole set. I am very pleased with what arrived, although I do like the individually carded cards and the artwork found on each. If I do happen to find any of them and the artwork is good I may double dip and buy them as well.
The cars themselves are really well done and incorporate key aspects of the characters design. From the power sword on the side of the He-Man car to the blue accents on the Beast Man Van/Truck thing. Attention to detail was paid to these cars and it shows. I love the Man-at-Arms vehicle with the mace smokestack. That works so well.
I cannot wait for the upcoming show being made by Kevin Smith. He shared some of the score on Twitter and the score is being done by Bear McCreary who has scored so many TV shows, movies and video games that I enjoy. I look forward to what he does with Masters of the Universe.
