Series: Masters of the Universe Classics
Real Name: Duncan
Title: Heroic Master of Weapons
Year: 2009
For two centuries, the Eternian weapons master and combat instructor to the royal family has been called the Man-At-Arms. Trained by the renowned tactician Dekker and a veteran of the Great Unrest, Duncan was asked by King Randor to step into this position and fortify his guard with an elite strike force, which he named The Masters of the Universe. In addition to his skills in combat, Duncan is also a great inventor and helped construct an electronic version of the Power Sword for Adam to use until he could unite both halves of the sword of King Grayskull. Man-At-Arms and his adopted daughter Teela often scout the borders of Eternia for signs of lurking evil.
Review: The Classics series of Masters of the Universe figures brought back the classic characters from the 1980s and that must include Man-at-Arms aka Duncan, of course. In many ways he was the true hero of the series, being a mentor to young Prince Adam aka He-Man, adopted father of Captain Teela, keeper of the Sorceress' secrets, and battling evil minions without any magical super powers, too, just the power of his intellect.
The Classics version of Man-at-Arms tries to incorporate all three versions of Man-at-Arms that existed up to that point. He's got a clean-shaven head to resemble the original toy, he has a mustache-wearing head to call back to the old cartoon, and he even comes with an "electronic version of the Power Sword", which is, of course, the Power Sword as it looked in the 200X cartoon.He also carries his trusty mace, a normal sword, and a hand gun.
One of my favorite characters, presented as a really great action figure. No complaints.
