FISTO
Heroic Hand-to-Hand FighterREAL NAME: Malcom
The older brother of Duncan™, Randor’s first Man-At-Arms®, Malcom served under King Miro™ during the Great Unrest but was wounded in battle and stricken with magical amnesia. Wandering through Eternia®, he settled in the Mystic Mountains in a mining settlement, unable to piece together how he lost his battalion. His life changed when the Snake Men™ attacked his town and he helped save the Masters of the Universe® from their trap. But in doing so, Malcom shattered his right hand. In gratitude, Duncan™ replaced it with a robotic strong arm. Now known as Fisto™, he has made up with his brother and fights as a heroic member of the Masters of the Universe® smashing evil with his giant knuckles!
First of all, let me say that I hope I don’t attract the wrong kind of traffic to my site just by having the word “Fisto” on my main page ha ha. With that said, Fisto was one of my most anticipated figures in the line. I don’t know why, I’ve just always loved his design. It’s fairly basic as far as Masters of the Universe characters go, but I just always really dug the body armor and the stern expression, the rugged beard, and of course the giant mechanical fist. Not to mention that thanks to the 2002 MYP cartoon, it’s in canon that Fisto is Man-At-Arms’ brother. Why not, right? They certainly look like they could be brothers. I’m glad the MOTUC bio took the 2002 cartoon’s Fisto storyline as inspiration.
The figure itself also took a lot of inspiration from the 2002 cartoon, but I’ll talk more about that in the actual review. Keep reading to find out my thoughts on Fisto.
