Rio Blast is a heroic gunslinger from the Masters of the Universe universe who was introduced in 1986 as part of Mattel's later wave. Hailing from the Wild West of another dimension, he finds himself stranded in the newfound world of Eternia. Rio Blast would go on to ally himself with He-Man and the Masters to defend this new world against Skeletor and his evil forces. The Fastest Draw in the Universe is now back as he joins the Masters of the Universe Origins line with 16 points of articulation and standing at just over 5. This hero is locked and loaded as Rio Blast features a pack of blasters on his back, along with laser guns in his thighs, chest, and hands! Skeletor will never see what hit them with this gunslinger on your team, and Mattel has included a new mini-comic for this release as well.
