Shadow Weaver Masterverse Figure Review and MOTU Classics Comparison

Check out our in depth review of the Masterverse Princess of Power Shadow Weaver plus our Masters of the Universe Classics comparison!

Another epic character making her way to the PoP line is Shadow Weaver! Hordak’s right hand lady joins the growing Princess of Power line and she looks fantastic! A rather simple figure, the mix of textures and accessories really bring out the detail in this figure. She comes with a stand so it looks like she is floating and there is articulation inside the body where she connects to the stand so you can pose her side to side. She also comes with a soft goods cape, which is removable, with the sleeves going over her arms.

Box Front and Side

The way that Shadow Weaver is posed in the box fills in the empty space nicely! She has a striking pose on the side of the box where you can see the magic flowing to and from her wand staff!

Box Back and Side Art

In a similar box art style as Masterverse Sorceress, you can see the magic flowing through her creepy hands! The addition of The Evil Horde symbol is a nice touch too!

Figure Details

Shadow Weaver looks great with layers of plastic and fabric that bring out the detail in this rather simplistic figure. The eery green skin is a great color that stands out against all of the deep reds in the figure. Her fingernails also painted black, which is in line with the rest of the PoP ladies in the Masterverse line.

You can also remove her soft goods cape and here we can get a better look at the arms and the dress detail!

Head Sculpt

You can only see Shadow Weaver’s glowing eyes (they really don’t glow but the black against the yellow really sets them off) through the opening in her hood, which comes to a crooked point in the back. She also has a scarf collar that is also removable.

Chest and Back

Her dress is very basic with simple vertical lines running up and down it. Her Horde symbol almost looks like a belt and it painted in a nice cherry red. As you will notice, she does not have any feet and there is just a hole for her to levitate in her stand.

Weapons and Accessories

Shadow Weaver comes with two extra hands, a stand, a fire flame effect, and her magic wand staff!

Flame Effect and Magic Wand

The flame effect looks very realistic and can fit over her closed fist. Her magic wand is painted in a nice sliver color and it has a dark neon green (is that an oxymoron???) crystal ball at the end.

There are not a lot of poses you can perform on the figure but she looks great nonetheless!

MOTU Classics Comparison

The MOTU Classics and Masterverse figures look very similar in sculpt with a few differences. The MOTU Classics version came with a hard plastic cape and the collar is built into her hood. Her Horde symbol is painted in more of a darker red and she has articulation at the waist and she can turn her upper body. As far as accessories go, the MOTU Classics version came with a similar staff and a magic spell book, which would have been great to see in the Masterverse line. They both have stands, which makes it appear they can levitate.
