Faction: Heroic Warriors
Thunder Punch He-Man was released in 1985 and discontinued in 1986. The figure came with a vac metal shield, a gold version of the Power Sword, and several ring caps. By placing a set of caps in his backpack, the figure could be wound back to deliver a powerful punch that would set off one of the caps, delivering a loud popping sound. He was the first He-Man to have painted bracers and two-tone boots. His armor was non-removable, and was red with silver vac metal accents. His right hand was sculpted into a fist, which meant he could only hold accessories in his left hand.
