Mattel Masters of the Universe 200x Mer-Man Action Figure

The "Mer-Man" action figure is part of Mattel's 2002 Masters of the Universe (200X) series, released in 2002 as part of Wave 1.

Standing approximately 6 inches tall, Mer-Man is equipped with a sword, trident, and removable chest armor. The figure features a unique action mechanism: moving the upper left arm forward causes the lower arm to straighten, simulating a stabbing motion with the weapon. Additionally, there's a loop on the back of his armor for weapon storage.

The sculpting details include armor on the forearms and lower legs designed to resemble coral, complete with indentations and cracks, enhancing the aquatic theme of the character. The head sculpt is notably detailed, capturing a bug-eyed, toothy fish-head appearance, reminiscent of the original 1980s concept art.

This figure exemplifies the 200X series' modern reinterpretation of classic characters, appealing to both longtime fans and new collectors.
