Today on Facebook, Mattel unloaded three new bios and packaged shots of three upcoming February 2011 Club Eternia figures: Bow, Battle Armor Skeletor, & the subscription figure Preternia Disguise He-Man. The figures always look good in package and the bios are the usual mix of interesting and cringeworthy…
Here’s the packaged shots and three updated bios…
Bow – Special Friend Who Help’s She-Ra, Real Name: Kyle Reccula
After wandering though Despondos for several centuries and unable to return to Eternia, Hordak and his ageless army eventually claimed Etheria as a new throne world, deposing the local monarchs and ruling the people through fear. A nobleman in Queen Angella’s court, Kyle was one of many brave warriors who took up the arms against the Horde invaders and joined the Great Rebellion. Nicknamed “Bow” due to his natural ability as an archer, each of his arrows possesses different powers and he has a magical heart that beats frantically when She-Ra is in danger. Bow, is secretly in love with Princess Adora, unaware that she and She-Ra are one in the same!
Skeletor – Evil Lord of Destruction, Real Name: Keldor of the House of Miro
Using dark magic taught by Hordak, Skeletor occasionally creates new forms of armor and weapons to outmaneuver the Masters of the Universe. His Battle Armor was first created to help Skeletor penetrate through the Mystic Wall in order to kidnap Adora and secretly clone the Sorceress of Grayskull. The original armor was destroyed by Oo-larr after three strikes with his mighty battle axe, sending Skeletor back behind the Wall. Skeletor reformed the armor 20 years later in a effort to combat a similar battle suit now worn by He-Man. Although lacking the mystic qualities of the original, his new armor was stronger and more powerful. Skeletor, Evil Lord of Destruction is now protected by his magic Battle Armor.
He-Man – Most Powerful Man in the Universe, Real Name: Adam of the House of Randor
Using the combined power of the Central Tower with the newly invented Cosmic Key the Sorceress disguised He-Man and sent him back to Preternia – A time where his ancestor King Grayskull fought for freedom against the Horde invaders and Snake Men from the Nameless Dimension. Quickly allying himself with Grayskull and the wizard- warrior, He-Ro, He-Man aided them in many battles, even turning the tide of the First Ultimate Battleground. During this battle he learned the secret to defeating the Snake Men and with this knowledge returned to his own time to finally stop King Hssss once and for all. Disguised in a cloak and mask, He-Man cannot reveal his true identity to his own ancestor!
These Bios have been added to our Sortable/Searchable Bio Page at MOTUClassics.Com.
These look great! The bios are what they are and I ignore ’em.
Oh and HIGH FIVE on the purple axe guys!! I’m giving the credit for that item to you guys!! Great job!
I don’t know how happy I am that Oolarr now battled young Skeletor, but I suppose that makes sense given the rough timeline. We now know Oolarr is an axe weilder like Vikor and that figure is that much more imminent.
Bow’s bio sucks because it’s not really about Bow. Lame.
He-Man’s is fine because it’s just the original POG story with Grayskull thrown in.
So Bow is She-Ra’s SPECIAL FRIEND, his last name sounds like part of the… excretory system, and he’s named Kyle… they did that on purpose right?
They had to…
Hey now, buddy! I happen to be a Kyle and we’re not all special friends. 😀
And you missed the obvious. There’s a giant Princess of Power sticker on his package.
Yep, I said package. 😀
LOL @ Skeletor.
His magical armor lacks the magical capabilities of the original. Good catch there!
OK Where to start:
Kyle!? (No offense to any Kyles) but seriously!? Couldn’t they think of any other name… For an Earth name it stands out too much… Add his last name Reccula… WTF is that!?
Kyle’s bio… Well… His heart pumps more blood to his body when She-Ra’s in danger…
No mention of Kowl the know it owl 🙁 The whole Bow loves Adora yet is attracted to She-Ra kinda reminds me of the forced Teela He-Man/Adam Triangle.
BA Skeletor:
Mystic = Magical. See the Contradiction?
Marty McFly He-Man: I like his real name… Don’t like the idea of He-Man staying and Meddling with the past… “By the Power of the Guy Next to me! I Have his Power!”
The figures look great for the most part. Looks like Preternia Disguise He-Man comes with his power sword.
if we find out later that kyle goes for his phd, i’m out.
These bios aren’t too bad compared to some of the others. I agree that Bow’s could’ve used some work though.
Preternia He-Man is growing on me. I guess he’s just one more guy to stand at Grayskull’s side.
So is Skeletor February now?
Why does He-Man need a disguise if he’s the one going back in time?
Poor Bow, he’s a Princess of Power. 😉
Preternia He-man looks just bad figure.I might get Bow he looks kinda cool.
I love B/A Skeletor & Preternia He-Man bio but Bow’s little shacky!!! 2011 can’t come any quicker!!
Surprised they didn’t include Gwildor in the Pre-Eternia He-Man bio. Cause you know, Cosmic Key. Interesting to see where they go with him, if he’s really planned for release.
