Joining Mondo’s prestigious lineup of Masters of the Universe collectible figures is Buzz-Off, the “heroic spy in the sky.” No, I’m not asking you to buzz off; that’s his actual name. And while he might not have the star power of He-Man or Skeletor, or the you-know-what of Teela, Buzz-Off’s fearsome appearance and aerial prowess make him a standout addition to the MOTU family.
Standing at an imposing 12 inches (30 cm) tall, this 1/6 scale figure is a buzzing masterpiece of craftsmanship. Drawing from the original toy line and sprinkling in some 200x series flair, Buzz-Off gets a sleek, armored exoskeleton layered over glossy muscular tissue. His articulated, translucent wings ensure he’s ready for both aerial reconnaissance and some good ol’ wing-powered intimidation.
What makes this version a collector’s dream? Let’s start with four swappable portraits, including a helmeted look and an angry Buzz-Off face for when the hive just won’t cooperate. Weapons? He’s got those in spades: a classic axe, a lance, a large axe for when small axes won’t cut it, and a shield for defense (or a stylish dinner plate). There’s also a variety of swappable hands, claws, and even a flight stand for dynamic posing.
Buzz-Off is made from a mix of PVC and ABS materials and weighs in at a solid 5 pounds (2.3 kg). The attention to detail doesn’t stop with the figure itself—the packaging features stunning artwork from an all-star team of artists, ensuring it’ll look as good on your shelf as the figure does out of the box.
The Mondo Masters of the Universe Buzz-Off 1/6 Scale Figure is a timed edition, available for pre-order until December 30, 2024, at 11:59 AM CT. The price? US$265. Not cheap, obviously, but for true MOTU fans who are completionists, this would be a necessary investment.
