Agreed. All the modern He-Man headsculpts are atrocious.
Yeah, I've really loved a lot of the He Man figures, but the headsculpts leave a lot to be desired. I really like the overall look of the New Eternia figure, but I prefer the build of the 40th Anniversary, in that he is appropriately beefy. Still, in both cases, the faces on the heads are...woof.
The one head sculpt I really do like is the bearded one from the armored He-Man (I think it's a New Eternia one?). I like the sunburned/weathered look of that version most out of all the options so far.
If anyone was on the fence about getting Revelations King Grayskull but wouldn't mind having one for like $12, Target's eBay store has him:

Discount applied in cart. Shipping's free too.
I really like the Thunder Punch Heman head. It looks much better than the anniversary figure to me.
I'll just chime in to say that I actually REALLY do not understand why Mattel has had such a miserable time getting a good HM head-sculpt out there. Some of the previous heads, like the movie HM, have been pretty objectively fucking terrible. So it's not even that fans are just being too particular or too specific. Mattel is just not doing a good job. And at what point do you maybe have a chat with whoever is doing the sculpts and say 'this isn't good enough?'
Re: the He-Man heads:
Yeah, most of them have been *rough*. And I think one of the issues is that there must have been some kind of push to make him aggressively “friendly” in the face, like trying to catch that “PSA, until next time!” energy or something, which led to some really bland and sappy expressions. Like he seems overly pleasant and smiling, and even the anniversary has those weird huge “kind eyes”. TP (which, natch, debuted as a Faker sculpt) is the only one which has a steely, non-passive expression.
Is there any difference between the chest harnesses that come with the Revelation and Revolution He-Man figures? I just got the Rev one from Amazon and it was clearly a return where someone took the harness and one of each of the extra hands and kept them. But I've got a super-discounted Revelation one in my PoL and may keep both anyways if I can use the harness from that one on Rev?
Someone posted a Masterverse King Randor coming to the line unannounced.

Was just coming here to say I saw it on TNI: https://toynewsi.com/241-54470
Not sure I like the helmeted head on Randor, but the rest along with his crown......*Chef's Kiss*
ForEternia posted that someone found the listings for the New Eternia Roboto and Evil-Lyn on the same site, so seems like those three must be part of the next wave. The only date on the site is 2025.
That King Randor looks awesome! I actually like both the helmeted and crowned looks. I may grab this one twice to display both ways.
If he is in the Wave with NE Evil Lyn and Roboto, that is going to be an excellent Wave of figures. All of those look really good.
Have pics of NE Roboto been shown? I was pretty satisfied with the Revelation version…
