Masters of the Universe Classics - HUNTARA!

MOTUC - Club Eternia Huntara - MattyCollector.com Exclusive - Mattel 2015

Sorry for the delay on this post. I received Huntara several weeks ago and immediately set up a photo shoot for a review. Unfortunately my first round of photos were a disaster. This second round is still iffy, but it's a vast improvement. There is something about the plastic of her lavender skin that creates of glowing blur in my photo tent. I adjusted the levels on my camera as best I could to compensate, but it was a royal pain. This figure is gorgeous though so it was worth the effort. Huntara appeared in only one episode of She-Ra but has been a total fan-favorite ever since. I was personally never a huge fan just because of her crazy voice and her appearance. I like her appearance by all means, but it seemed very out-of-sync with the rest of the She-Ra characters. She always seemed like a He-Man character to me. Anyway, all my personal opinions aside, this figure is wonderful and a great example of MOTUC's commitment to the fans. Thirty years after her debut she got a long-deserved figure.











Huntara is a powerful bounty hunter from the planet Silax who comes to Etheria.  Hordak gets to her first and convinces Huntara that She-Ra is a great tyrant.  Hilarity ensues.















Huntara comes with two Silaxian Stun Swords and an axe.





The stun swords have skinny handles and her hands are a little too loose to grip them tightly.  I would suggest saving some of your clear rubberbands from the packaging to wrap around the handles and thicken them up.







The swords also mount on her back.










Here are some images of Huntara from her episode.










Huntara is apparently based off 80's icon Grace Jones.

























Time for a Comparison Pic!




Cheers!

    1. I'm totally going to have my Angella flying over the group. I really hope Peekablue isn't the same way. I am looking forward to Ripley, but I'm only going to let myself get one, so I have to decide which is the best version for me.
