Masters of the Universe Classics figures come in several layers, like a nesting doll. Snake Face is packaged just the same as any other MOTUC figure – but hey, in case one or two people aren’t already familiar with this, let’s discuss it! Anyway, enough background – let’s talk about the toy! The Staction is patterned after his appearance in the newer cartoon – sleek and more serpentine – whereas this figure, like most MOTUC figures, is slavishly designed to resemble the vintage toy. Toy-wise, he’s got his vintage figure, the 200X-era Staction, and now this. He was trapped with the entire Snake Army in the Void for five millennia, but eventually was called forth by King Hssss™ to do battle once again after their release – this time against new enemies – He-Man® and the Masters of Universe®! Snake Face™ slithers after his enemy, then turns him to stone!Īlthough Snake Face never appeared in the old cartoon (it went off the air before his toy came out), he had appearances in the old mini-comics as well as the 2002 remake cartoon. Quickly brought into Hssss’ inner circle, Snake Face™ often acted as the Viper King’s second in command during the Great Wars with Grayskull™. Real Name: Cyltho Ssstavvve Originally a minor training officer in the Unnamed One’s Serpent Army, Cyltho Ssstavvve drew King Hssss’ attention after he was enchanted with the ability to turn his enemies to stone by the Great Black Wizard. It’s powerful enough to make him into King Hsss’ nuclear option, and his new official bio reflects that by turning him into Hsss’s right-hand man: So, I guess they are a little related… Anyway, Snake Face’s gimmick involves the snakes in his face – when Snake Face’s Face Snakes come out, he can turn people to stone. ![]() Snake Face is purely a horsemen design, and Medusa was rough-sculpted by Eric Treadaway, though she was finished by another McFarlane employee. As an aside note, he kind of looks good standing next to the old McFarlane Curse of the Spawn Medusa. As it turns out, both were sculpted by the Four Horsemen – sort of. He’s directly linked to Greek mythology, even if the original Gorgon was a girl. Of course, there’s the secondary market price… though I got mine from a friend who happened to have an extra subscription, so mine came in just a few days after most subscribers got theirs.Īs one of the Snake Men, Snake Face has a serpentine theme (wow, really?), though he stood out in that group because of his comparatively humanoid features – whereas the others were man-sized cobras or rattlers or whatever Tung Lashor was, Snake Face is clearly a humanoid Medusa-type. But if you weren’t a subscriber and didn’t want to risk Matty Collector, right about now is the time when you’d start deciding if you want the figure. Mattel’s figure for April is the Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face, King Hsss’s Medusa-esque henchman! Now, his official sale day was last week, and although he lasted a while, he’s gone now. You can actually grab it when it comes to early access later this week.To search eBay for this figure: CLICK HERE In-line with previous iterations of Snake games, you’ll grow in length as you eat people, except here, you’ll have to solve a puzzle to get out.
