Written by The wait is almost over till the Masterverse “New Eternia” MER-MAN Wave 14 action figure is finally available for preorder. And now we have some additional promotional pictures share!
Check out this wild Mer-Man:
The Masterverse “New Eternia” Mer-Man Wave 14 action figure is expected to open for preorders at fan channel retailers later this month.
Stay tuned! We’ll see you next time!
They gave him transparent “lenses" over his eyes. That’s fantastic.
@firmpulse It reminds me of those googly eyes that people use for arts and crafts but it shockingly works. I need to see a review of this Mer-Man.
He looks shiny in these pics which I really like. The armour parts I thought were black actually look iridescent which is awesome. The more I see of this Mer-Man the more I like him.
Usually I’m not very interested in those behind the scenes figure videos that Mattel puts out but I would be interested in this one.
EYE SEE YOU! 👁 👁
It appears the Masters of the Universe Masterverse “New Eternia” MER-MAN Wave 14 action figure has lenticular or articulated eyes!
@admin I think it may have to do with the lenses being solid hemispheres. I have a hemisphere crystal paperweight that makes images “follow you" depending on the angle in which the object underneath it is viewed. It’s a trick of light refraction. If that’s what’s going on and the designer knew that it’s genius.
You can see an example of the effect in this listing https://www.amazon.com/GUOSHUCHE-Magnifying-Paperweight-Hemisphere-Magnifier/dp/B09CGJBXKS
EDIT: For some reason the link isn’t showing up for me and I used the “insert/edit link" button. But you can google “hemisphere magnifying paperweight"
Thanks for this. It could be! The way the pupils are not uniformed seems overachieving for that, but glued on opposing angles… maybe! Plus I have to remember these are 3D renders, not actual figures, but you are so right, it is genius to implement such a thing for Mer-Man!
I saw him at SDCC. Figure sample looked production. Definitely has lenses and the eyes do seem to “follow you"
