Beastman
SUMMARY:
Beastman, the “savage henchman” was produced in Taiwan, Malaysia, Mexico (Aurimat), Argentina (Top Toys), Venezuela (Rotoplast), Brazil (Estrela), France, Spain, and India (Leo). He is equipped with a spring-loaded waist that swings back with a power punch.
The Estrela Beastman is characterized by vibrant orange-yellow body skin tones and orange-red harness and cuffs. The harness is painted blue in a small circle. The figure is a soft head with off-white paint and deep blue face highlights. The shorts are deep blue, with a dark green belt.
Initially released in the first year of the Estrela Masters of the Universe line, this Beastman “Homem Fera” in Brazil, had no country markings. It was released on a 9-back card, with an original comic called “He-Man against the forces of evil”.
The following year, Estrela released “Homem Fera” with the Estrela S.A. marking on the back. It was released on a 16-back card, and the comic was an original story called “Beastman & The Great Treasure”.
