Slush Head

When Mattel attempted to re-vamp He-Man and the Masters of the Universe at the end of the eighties I completely ignored the toyline. Primarily because I was too old for He-Man, focusing my toy collecting on all the cool new Batman movie stuff coming out. But also because of the stupid new direction the toyline took, giving He-Man and his pals more of a Buck Rogers/Star Wars type space theme and much less of the savage barbarian concept we had all grown up with.

Had I payed more attention however I may have picked up a couple of the cool looking villains in the line, including this guy named Slush Head aka Kalamarr.

I love that this guy has actual liquid in his helmet. A sort of reverse scuba suit, or more accurately a Scawba (Self Contained Above Water Breathing Apparatus) maybe?

And not only is his helmet full of liquid, but his head actually turns too! Keen.

I found this guy at the swap meet sans accessories. But for fifty cents, I couldn't pass him up. He's a little roughed up, but his helmet is still full of whatever carcinogenic poison Mattel pumped in there over twenty years ago, so that's cool.
