Man-At-Arms New Eternia MOTU Masterverse Box Art Reveal

Roy Juarez strikes again, releasing the New Eternia Man-At-Arms MOTU Masterverse box art! This is the fifth installment as he’s released Sorceress Teela’s, movie Evil-Lyn’s, Skeletek’s, and New Eternia Trap Jaw’s box art over the last week. Revealed at SDCC 2023, New Eternia Man-At-Arms’ box was on display but it’s great to see the art without all of the writing on the box so we can focus on the amazing illustrations!

Box and Art

The last thing Duncan remembered was He-Man shouting, “By the Power of Grayskull!” Reality cracked, and all went dark. Suddenly, Man-At-Arms found himself in a New Eternia, one broken and in need of repair. Here’s a closeup look at the packaging and artwork for the upcoming @masters of the Universe Masterverse New Eternia Man-At-Arms! You can preorder the heroic master of weapons at @entearth and @bigbadtoystore“

The new packaging for the Masterverse figures, revealed at SDCC 2023, is a major upgrade to the overall aesthetic of the box design. It’s great that we get to see a small view via the clear plastic window and this design change lets us see the more of the glorious box art! With the new packaging, we can still see the figure in the small plastic window and the Man-At-Arms figure is also pictured on the back of the box with a very cool scene as he looks on with determination. Since we can’t see the accessories, they have become part of the box art on the back in a 3 panel layout.

The left panel has a gorgeous illustration with the mustache’less MAA with his New Eternia concept in the background.

The new box design lets the amazing illustrations wrap beautifully around the box! Speaking of which, the right side panel is a feast for the eyes as we see a Wind Raider flying above and a Battle Ram firing the opening salvo in battle!

Here are some of the finer details of the amazing art as Man-At-Arms is rearing his Mace back and plunging into battle!

Getting an up close and personal look at Man-At-Arms face and his huge body armor!

The overall figure sculpt is one of the best Man-At-Arms designs we’ve seen since the MOTU Classics era! The overall look of the Masterverse figures are more streamlined and Mattel keeps outdoing themselves with each release! This version of Man-At-Arms is so versatile and you can change up the look with a switch of the helmet or, if you choose, have no helmet at all. It’s cool to see MAA’s face without his helmet and the green balaclava is very detailed and even has space for his ears and, by the looks of it. it appears to be mechanically enhanced! Man-At-Arms comes with an extra set of fisted hands, a mace, a ball and chain mace attachment, and an extra head sculpt sans mustache, and a classic style helmet.

Man-At-Arm’s armor is so vibrant and it’s the perfect shade of orange that compliments his green suit (if that really is a body suit)! The new loin cloth is a great addition to the figure as it separates this figure from the rest.

The mace has a lighter orange, almost metallic tinge to it while the ball is a nice orange that closely matches MAA’s armor. The ball and chain attachment can fit on to the end of the handle by popping off the solid ball at the top of the mace. I am not too fond of the execution of the ball and chain accessory as it looks odd if it’s not in the down position.
