the line's Mekaneck figure. The cartoon series depicts him as one of the most powerful beings on Eternia, possibly even more powerful than He-Man himself. He is introduced in the episode "Orko's Garden", in which he is an urban legend; an Eternian equivalent of the Green Man. He seems to be a kind of spirit who farmed and looked after the Eternian forestry and kept it in harmony. His rival in this episode is Evilseed, an evil counterpart who wants the plant world to overcome the human world. Moss Man's incredible powers help He-Man save the day, his power over all forms of vegetation able to overcome just about any obstacle. In a subsequent episode, "The Last Stand", he uses his abilities to save all the Masters from Skeletor's strongest trap yet. Given that he is so powerful, his appearances are sparse; only coming to the Masters' aid in times of desperation. Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man was released on March 15 as the March 2010 Figure of the Month for the Masters of the Universe Classics line of action figures. The figure includes two distinct head sculpts, one looking more like his 200x counterpart and the other like his 1980's Beast Man head (painted green & flocked). Originally, Mattel had reported that they had problems with the flocking – with the line's increased articulation, the flocking had caused some of the joins to cease. However, the final production figure was released with most of the body covered in "moss" flocking. A variant of the figure with flocked ears was also released in small, limited quantities. Masters of the Universe: Revelations Moss Man has a cameo in the opening episode of Masters of the Universe: Revelations voiced by Alan Oppenheimer (Who voiced Skeletor and Man-at-Arms in the original series). When Moss Man is killed Skeletor remarks that his death 'smells like pine'. Reception Comic Book Resources listed the character as part of He-Man: 15 Most Powerful Masters of the Universe. CBR voted Moss-Man 7th worst He-Man toy. Cracked thought poorly of Moss man. Moss man was voted 2nd out 7 in the 7 Stupidest He-Man Characters by Total Film.
