About this release
Battle Armor He-Man is the 1984 deluxe variant of He-Man, sold with the line’s first major armor gimmick. A pivoting chest plate cycles through three states - undamaged, dented, and slashed - when struck, simulating the wear of repeated combat. Otherwise reuses the standard He-Man buck with a fresh, slightly more muscular sculpt.
Released by Mattel in 1985 as part of the original Masters of the Universe vintage line (Series 4). Five-and-a-half-inch sculpt, five-point articulation, rubber-banded torso, line-standard action feature. Out of production since the line ended in 1988; live secondary-market pricing via the eBay link above.
