The lazy, cowardly and foppish Prince Adam seems a constant disappointment to his parents and his childhood friend Teela. Few people would suspect this persona is designed to hide the fact that he turns into Eternia's mightiest hero, He-Man, when he holds aloft his sword and mutters those powerful words... "By the power of Grayskull..."
Prince Adam is depicted here in the midst of raising his sword, about to utter the famous words that will turn him into He-Man. While the figure is an excellent sculpt, I seem to always struggle with Adam/He-Man's face, so I don't consider this one of my better paintjobs. Still, he'll work well enough for a character who's only supposed to remain on the table long enough to find some cover so he can transform into the real hero of the game.

I think he looks good, I just think that in comparison with almost every other character, there isn't really much to go at with Prince Adam. It's a very simple character design in a frankly awful colour combination. There's only so much that can be done with him.
ReplyDeleteHe will forever remain a divisive character. He was introduced by the Filmation cartoon, to the dismay of fans of the more brutal fantasy barbarian of the original minicomics by Alfredo Alcala. My main gripe with the paintjob is the face, I've been really struggling with those lately.
