Faction: Evil Warriors
Blade, the evil master of swords, was released in 1987. Based on the character from the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie played by by Anthony De Longis, Blade featured a great deal of sculpted detail and featured all new parts. He came with a removable belt and two swords. He had the usual spring-loaded waist twist feature, but uniquely both of his arms were spring-loaded as well, allowing the figure to fight with both swords at once.
