ItsAllTrueReview: 7th Kingdom Akkuli (SDCC Week Continues!)
When you can't attend SDCC, you usually spend the next couple weeks anxiously anticipating the exclusives from the show making their way to you. That's how I've spent the last few days. Starting with the middle of last week and continuing into this week, I've come home every day to find a new package on my doorstep. I don't normally pick up as many exclusives as I did this year, but SDCC seemed to offer a neverending supply of interesting things this time around. You've already seen my review for the Ghostbusters Video Games Minimates and He-Ro. Today, ItsAllTrue's SDCC Exclusive Week brings something a little different: Akkuli from the Four Horsemen's Seventh Kingdom toy line.
He-Ro is the first MOTU Classics figure that doesn't have a childhood connection for me. I didn't have the original versions of all the previous MOTU Classics releases, but I knew about them as a kid. He-Ro's an exception because his vintage version never reached store shelves. Very little is known about the character, just bits and pieces that have leaked out of Mattel since he went into toy limbo. He was an ancestor of He-Man from Pre-Eternia, got to ride around on cyborg dinosaurs, and was going to be used to reveal the origin of the Powers of Grayskull. Pretty cool, right? But it never got a chance to bear out because the line was cancelled. The last mini-comic, featuring He-Ro in a small capacity, left fans and He-Man asking the same question, "but who is he?"
