A Brazilian bruiser with battle-worn legacy! 🪖 The 1982 Estrela Masters of the Universe ARiete (Ram-Man), graded CAS 55, is a rare and culturally significant variant from Mattel’s South American partner Estrela, released during the earliest wave of MOTU figures. With subgrades C55/B50/F80, this example shows heavy packaging wear but retains strong historical value—especially for international variant collectors and packaging historians.
🇧🇷 Variant Highlights
ARiete is the Portuguese name for Ram-Man, released by Estrela in Brazil as part of the “Guerreiros do Universo” line.
Estrela versions often feature softer plastic, slightly altered paint apps, and Portuguese-language packaging, including unique card art and branding.
The figure retains Ram-Man’s spring-loaded leg mechanism, allowing him to “ram” forward when pressed—one of the earliest MOTU action features.
