SKELETOR'S 200X-ERA ENFORCER
Beast Man (200x)
The 2002 series rebuilt Skeletor's animal-controlling henchman with lowered horns, a heavier mane and a crouch, and kept him at Skeletor's side for both seasons, usually with Evil-Lyn or Trap Jaw close by.
Beast Man (200X) is the 2002 redesign of Skeletor's animal-controlling enforcer for the Mike Young Productions He-Man series. Scott McNeil voices him across both seasons, and Mattel's Origins line now sells him in this look as a Deluxe figure.
SKELETOR'S 200X ENFORCER
The 2002 redesign, rebuilt from the mane up
The 2002 He-Man series, made by Mike Young Productions, is a reboot, and this site treats it as additional material outside the classic Filmation canon. This page covers Beast Man as that series redrew him; his Filmation debut, the later toy lines and the 2026 film are on the main Beast Man page. The relaunch gave him lowered horns, a heavier mane and a crouched, animal stance, closer to the creatures he commands than the upright vintage figure.
He is in 24 episodes across both seasons and seldom works alone. Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw are the two he is paired with most, and the scripts keep him where the vintage character always stood, next to Skeletor and ready to set an animal on somebody.
The classic series' Beast Man, sneaking in with Trap Jaw on one of Skeletor's errands.

A HENCHMAN WHO BRINGS THE MONSTERS
Shadowbeasts, dragons, and Skeletor's schemes
"Night of the Shadowbeasts" gives him the clearest spotlight, sending a pack of Shadowbeasts against Eternos Palace. The creatures come from the 1983 Filmation episode "Teela's Quest," and this is their only appearance in the 2002 series. "The Mystery of Anwat Gar" catches him at his most physical, crouching, roaring and lunging across a ruined temple.
Season two keeps him close to his master. In "To Walk with Dragons" and "The Last Stand" he is back at Skeletor's side, and "The Last Stand" gives him the line fans quote most: "My pal, Skeletor. You gotta love a guy like that."

IN PLASTIC
Two figures of the 2002 design
The 2002 design has been made twice. Mattel's original 200X Beast Man, sculpted by the Four Horsemen at 6-inch scale, came out with the series and is long retired. The Origins Deluxe Beast Man from the 200X Cartoon Collection, shown above, brings the same look to the 5.5-inch Origins line. The vintage-style Origins Beast Man and every other release are on the main Beast Man page.
