So I think other than Thunder Punch He-Man would the only remaining He-Man variant from the original line be Laser He-Man?

There's also Flying Fists He-Man:

Oops forgot that one. But a MOTUC Flying Fists would go well with Hurricane Hordak. I hope he can get vac metalized armor like the original and the new Hurricane Hordak as well.

I've still not seen a close up of the backpack. I just have seen the fuzzy presentation panel picture for the first time. Any clear photo's of it?

Does anybody knows the final belt colour deco of TP He-Man ? From SDCC & PC pics, the prototype has red deco, but the vintage TP figure has orange belt deco like regular He-Man.

Any Idea ?????

It's going to be what you saw at SDCC and Power Con.

Most of my examples of vintage Thunder Punch have a deeper orange / verging on red belt, so presumably they were going with this.

i hope it's the same color as the rest of his armor

Have we seen any hi-res shots of the back piece of the armor for this guy?????

Was and will always be my favorite He-Man variant (Dragon Blaster for Skeletor) and the first variant of this line I am excited for.

Very excited for this variant of He-Man. Don't know what it is but the the embracing red color on him looks amazing. I also love the extra yellow fireball that goes on his hand for thunder punch.

is Thunder Punch He-Man going to have vac-metal on his harness and shield?

HATED BA he-man, did NOT like Thunder Punch he-man. At least he had a SORT of harness... but the 90 degree waist that he was stuck at made vehicles and posing problematic.

As a rule i wanted the 'REAL' He-man that was in the books and cartoon, etc... when he broke, I couldn't find a replacement, I got 'stuck' with the varients... at least BA and THunderpunch, I think those were the only ones i had..

Sooooo my nostalgia factor for this figure is tempered somewhat. however, I really do like the look of this toy. HATED the vintage one, but this one looks pretty neat. :hmgrin:

wow... it's like my brother wrote this.

to this day I can't show him BA He-Man, he HATES it

I am very excited for TPHM... I can't wait!! Hope he does have the vac metal, after all they gave H-Hordak vac metal.

If I'm not mistaking, TPHM will have a nwe fist sculpt which fits his "thunder punch accessory". Does anyone know whether or not this energy bold will be compatible with other hands/fists?

I'm so excited for TP HE-MAN + first mini comics (from the "masters" dark horse) !! :hmeek:
cant wait for him in april !!

I doubt it would be compatible with anything other than another character with a closed fist. I believe this is the only one in the line so far. Of course the 4H are a creative bunch, so maybe they figured out a way for it to also latch onto a regular weapon holding hand.


I cannot wait for this to come out! For some reason it was always my favorite variant of He-Man in the vintage line.

My Thunder Punch He-Man has wondering eyes that look to the right? Is there away to fix this or get a new head without having to buy another one?

This has been a common quality control issue that's been poping up more often lately. You could...

-Send it back to DR and get a replacement or refund.
-You could modify the head by repainting his eyes. Not recommended unless you have some serious skill.

Ask He-Ro, and the 2 pack DCU Aqua Man for assistance....

No sadly, like Mec said, either repaint it, or ask for a replacement.... sadly you get this on figures, but not everyone is like that....I have 2 and both are perfect. But I do have other figures with paint flaws.

How do you remove Thunder punch He-mans harness?

VERY carefully. It's held on by hooks (sort of) so you just have to pull it off. Like I said though: be careful, 'cause the hooks are on the backpack and could break off with enough force.

Gently pull back on the BOTTOM pegs first, as those are less hook-like. Once those are off, pull down to get the top two hooks out.

So who wants a lighter skinned vintage He-Man head (from the Oo-Larr package) to match their MOTUC Thunder Punch He-Man? I was disappointed with the lighter skin tone on him, though I understood the design choice at the time. It would be a shame to have this variant without the more appropriate vintage face.
