With the fourth annual New York Comic Con creeping around the corner in February, toy companies are beginning to announce their exclusive offerings for the event. Why the event was moved from the gentle month of April into the cruel, bastard month of February is another story entirely.
Either way, Mattel’s exclusive Faker figure from their new Masters of the Universe line is an appropriate frigid blue. Fans of the 80s cartoon might remember Faker as a bizarro He-Man robot, or an imperfect clone, or possibly even a really messed up magical afterbirth. Mostly, he was a cheap way to slap a new villain into He Man by repainting an already existing He-Man mold into ‘evil’ colors.
If you can’t attend NYCC, MattyCollector.com will be offering the figure up around the time of the Con, and if the San Diego Comic Con exclusive rush from earlier this year is any indication, the site will explode in a ridiculous ball of greasy anger. So, get in their early if you’re into the blue, constipated He-Man thing.

Damn you. Now I really miss my childhood and those badly articulated toys.
