By the Power of Grayskull! Bring the most powerful man in the universe to your collection with the Nendoroid He-Man #1775, based on his appearance in Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
Produced by Good Smile Company, this fully articulated Nendoroid shrinks Eternia’s legendary hero down to approximately 100mm tall without losing his unmistakable blond hair, armour and heroic proportions. With three interchangeable expressions, the Power Sword, battle axe, shield and even a Battle Cat illustration, there’s plenty here for creating classic He-Man displays.
He-Man – The Most Powerful Man in the Universe
He-Man is the heroic alter ego of Prince Adam of Eternia, protector of Castle Grayskull and sworn enemy of the evil Skeletor.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation brought the classic characters of Eternia back for a new adventure while retaining the swords, sorcery, monsters and gloriously over-the-top fantasy action that made Masters of the Universe famous.
This Nendoroid takes that modern He-Man appearance and gives it the unmistakable super-deformed Nendoroid treatment.
Huge muscles?
Still there.
Power Sword?
Obviously.
Tiny body and enormous head?
Now we’re talking.
Three Face Plates
Good Smile includes three interchangeable face plates, giving He-Man considerably more personality than a single-expression figure.
You get:
- Combat expression
- Winking expression
- Smiling expression
The combat face is ideal for action displays, while the smile provides the classic heroic He-Man look.
And then there’s the wink.
Because apparently even the most powerful man in the universe occasionally needs to work the camera.
The Power Sword
No He-Man collection would be complete without the legendary Power Sword.
The weapon responsible for transforming Prince Adam into He-Man is included as one of the figure’s main accessories.
Equip it for classic heroic poses or raise it above his head for the instantly recognisable transformation stance.
It’s the essential He-Man accessory and looks wonderfully oversized in Nendoroid proportions.
Battle Axe
When the Power Sword isn’t quite enough, He-Man also comes equipped with his battle axe.
The axe provides a completely different weapon option and gives you plenty of opportunities for more aggressive action poses.
Swap between the sword and axe depending on exactly how badly Skeletor is behaving that day.
He-Man’s Shield
A shield is also included, completing He-Man’s classic weapon loadout.
Combine it with either the Power Sword or battle axe to create a more heavily armed display.
The shield also helps give the small Nendoroid an appropriately heroic silhouette.
Battle Cat Included… Sort Of
Good Smile hasn’t somehow squeezed an entire Nendoroid-scale Battle Cat into the box.
Instead, you get a Battle Cat illustration sheet that can be incorporated into the display.
It’s a fun way of referencing He-Man’s enormous green-and-yellow companion without requiring another massive accessory.
Although we’re still going to want an actual Battle Cat.
Obviously.
Castle Grayskull Packaging
Good Smile has done something particularly clever with the packaging.
The inner cardboard section of the box features an image of Castle Grayskull, allowing it to be used as a background for the figure.
Rather than immediately throwing the inner packaging away, you can incorporate it into your display and create a miniature Masters of the Universe scene.
It’s a simple idea, but one that works brilliantly with the compact Nendoroid format.
Face Off Against Skeletor
There is one obvious companion for He-Man:
Nendoroid Skeletor #1776.
Good Smile released Skeletor alongside He-Man, complete with his own collection of weapons and accessories. His box also contains a Snake Mountain background that can be combined with He-Man’s Castle Grayskull packaging.
Put the pair opposite each other and you’ve got the beginnings of a miniature battle for Eternia.
He-Man with the Power Sword.
Skeletor with the Havoc Staff.
Tiny bodies.
Massive heads.
Decades of unresolved hostility.
Perfect.
Fully Articulated Nendoroid
Despite standing only around 100mm tall, He-Man is a fully articulated figure. Good Smile supplies a dedicated stand to support the figure during posing.
Combine the articulation with the different faces and weapons to create:
- Power Sword poses
- Battle axe attacks
- Sword-and-shield displays
- Transformation-inspired poses
- He-Man versus Skeletor scenes
- Castle Grayskull displays
Changing just a couple of components can dramatically alter the finished appearance.
Pre-Painted and Ready to Display
Unlike a plastic model kit, Nendoroid He-Man comes as a painted plastic collectible figure.
There’s no need for painting, glue, panel lining or a pile of modelling tools.
Open the box, choose your face and weapons and start posing.
That makes it an easy addition to a figure collection and a nice change of pace if your modelling backlog is already getting dangerously tall.

Why Add Nendoroid He-Man to Your Collection?
Because He-Man works ridiculously well as a Nendoroid.
The oversized muscles, sword, armour and larger-than-life personality of the original character translate perfectly into Good Smile’s exaggerated Nendoroid proportions.
More importantly, there’s plenty in the box to actually have some fun with. Three expressions let you move between serious and slightly ridiculous displays, while the Power Sword, battle axe and shield provide all the classic weaponry you’d expect.
The Castle Grayskull packaging backdrop is an especially nice touch, and pairing He-Man with Nendoroid Skeletor turns the two figures into a complete miniature Masters of the Universe showdown.
For Masters of the Universe fans, Nendoroid collectors or anyone whose childhood involved repeatedly shouting about the Power of Grayskull, Nendoroid He-Man #1775 is a fantastic little celebration of one of the most recognisable heroes of the 1980s.
Power Sword raised. Skeletor warned. At approximately 100mm tall, Nendoroid He-Man might be considerably smaller than usual – but he’s still the most powerful man in the universe.
