He doesn't, he only 4 toes like in the drawing. Alcala Skeletor has normal feet.

And I agree with Emiliano, He-Man's name is not Oo-Larr.

Cool test shot colors. I wonder what the arrow is supposed to indicate? (yes, I know. "Up"...before anyone says it...lol)

The hips are huuuge. O__O And she actually doesn't have THAT many new parts. heheh

we'll they would have to differentiate the different he-men by thier alter ego names ie; adam, wun-dar, vikor, oolar. They become he-man at some point, but in the mini comics oolar didn't have the sword of power yet but wore the magic armor given to him by the goddess.

that jewel star look great - there are a buch of new parts on her, i can see some potential custom fodder w/ her, good thing i will have 2 coming.

=)

My guess for the "arrow" would be to draw attention to the fact that her Chest is not the normal female chest but more of an armor that goes straight across her like a Shelf

It could also mean "Straight Ahead"

**slackrguy** · November 21, 2011, 09:37am

I never noticed the molding on top of the star staff before right now, it looks good. Why is Jewelstar wearing Mom jeans though?

**Hordaiquiri** · November 21, 2011, 09:57am

That's neat looking. It's nice to see more detailing in the star staff.

*dead*

Maybe the arrow means the mom jeans aren't high enough.

As for the detailing on the star staff, the original prototypes had that design as well. (not sure if some of you were aware) 'Tis cool.

For some reason it seems like the larger star should be a tad bigger.

Well, the FOUR HORSEMEN took the design almost 100 % from an 80´s drawing. What do you expect? Back than that was hip

I'm pretty sure the 4 horsemen's original sculpt was not like that. Her and tall star received the diaper/granny panties treatment somewhere after mattel received the sculpts. Making the star sisters just that much less palatable to some.

...all hip apparently

I joke, that is a fair point in the 80's that look was numerous. If at all possible, I will likely see if I can work some super-glue magic to make her.... less hip *ba-dum-ching!*

**Tallstar** · November 21, 2011, 11:03am

I think my biggest problem with Jewelstar and Tallstar's hip pieces, is that they're droopy at the bottoms with that gap and it makes it look like they both have a load in their diaper.

**Darkspecter** · November 21, 2011, 12:58pm

@ mom jeans.

Seriously though, I'm very sad Mattel didn't fix the really large underwear on Jewelstar (and presumably Tallstar). We noticed it and mentioned it at the same time people were talking about Starla's face and TG said he knew the Star Sisters protos looked funny, but they would be fixed. This makes it look like they will not be fixed at all.

The 4H did not sculpt the underwear like this either. If you look at the prototype pictures, their underwear is nice and tight around the hips and crotch.

If this is as close together as you can put Jewelstar's legs together because of her underwear hanging down about 1/2 an inch too far...that's a pretty big problem. That's almost a horse straddle!

**Niki** · November 21, 2011, 01:02pm

From behind the test shot looks great if you ask me because it looks as if she was wearing a whole armor suit from the front because of the waist cut it looks like high cut old ladies undies and that´s not the best look.

**BlueStreak** · November 21, 2011, 01:35pm

Liking the Star Sisters less and less...

**Kevenn** · November 21, 2011, 04:27pm

I love the bigger size in the hips. It brings a little more visual diversity to the body types in the line. Not *EVERYONE* needs to have the hips of a 12 year old boy/Victoria's Secret model.

Nothing wrong with some hips. I like the curves

Right you are! Easter eggs are fun.

As for the Jewelstar prototype... why is it that they can never pose the figures more dynamically for the con reveals? These prototype images off of ebay really show off how amazing and bad-ass these gals are going to look "in battle" on our shelves! I'm already more psyched for them than I was before. I think Jewelstar is going to be displayed cape-less when I get her.

**Uki** · November 21, 2011, 06:08pm

Right? At the cons, they've just been standing around like characters on King of the Hill. This is dynamic!

I didn't realize how much was new tooling and how her top armor worked. Very cool!

In my opinion, the problem isn't so much her hips...but her waist and crotch. For some reason, the plastic for her undies is WAY too long in the crotch...and she lost the waist definition she used to have (top of the undies):

I didn't even realize it wasn't there until you mentioned it.

I woulder if the shoulder jewels/cape will be removable then? I really HOPE it is...but it looks like it's molded on the sample figure from Power Con/NYCC.

That's exactly right. In the Four Horsemen prototype, I can clearly see the angular gem-like lines sculpted into the waist so they line-up with chest piece, like it does on the Star Sisters poster, but in the test shot it appears they smooshed this, ballooned-out the hips and then extended the crotch. For me, it's not an issue of wanting every female character to have the same body type (I don't need Madame Razz transformed into a supermodel or anything

), but size-wise, I think she should be as close to the source material as possible. Maybe the test shot looks different in person, though. Anyhoo... I'm excited to get her regardless.

EDIT

When/if a Tallstar test shot appears on eBay, I hope it shows that the neck area has been corrected, so that the head sits flush on the extension instead of having that gap. :/

She looks like an anime character, this way. I'm almost expecting her to fight Sailor Moon, or someone.

**musclor.fr.st** · November 23, 2011, 03:23am

I think someone here is gonna be "half Happy"

Look what might go for sale in the next few days :
