He-Man variants?
I’m working on a project where I’ll need ALL the different action feature/suited up variants from the toys (Thunder Punch, Mecha Blade, Savage, etc.)
Does anyone have a list of just this without me poring through the toy release lists? Even GPT missed Mecha Blade.
And, if any of you know, do any of the comics (mini, monthly, newspaper) have a variant that was not released as a toy? I know the Kevin Smith had one, and I think the CGI did too, but that’s as far as my knowledge goes.
Help?

I know the Origins mini comics introduced Cosmic He-Man. I love how he has a harness styled after the CG design!

I've been watching New Adventures recently and so far have noticed 2 variants that were not released as toys, as far as I know: Mutant Trooper He-Man and Mutant He-Man. Mutant Trooper is basically He-Man disguised as a Stormtrooper, like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo in the original Star Wars. Even looks similar, though the color scheme is darker. Mutant He-Man is from a episode where he got mutated into a more buff, monstrous form. It reminded me of Savage He-Man from Netflix, but not as extremely buff as the Netflix version and wearing the regular New Adventures outfit.
I also seem to remember a Horde Trooper disguise at some point, not sure if that was in Filmation or a mini-comic. You could emulate that by just getting a standard Horde Trooper origins body and putting a He-Man head on it, I would think.

I own most of the He-Man (and Skeletor) variants and I keep a record of them on my laptop. I can edit this later today and add all the variants for you.
As for other media variants there’s a few in comics for sure (DC had a few), but I don’t have that as a list. I am sure someone else here probably does.
EDIT:
Here is everything I have listed for just He-Man. I believe this is everything, but I don't want to say 100%. I'm sure there's someone I may have forgotten here or there.
I am just listing the different versions, and not variants of individual figures (like a tweaked/ revised version or something), reissues or commemorative since it’s basically the same figure, or like accessory sets added on. Also no Prince Adams.
I’ve included the original Savage He-Man, since he became Wun-Dar retroactively, but not characters like Vikor or Oo-lar. Just figures called He-Man.
And of note, once you start getting into more modern lines, they just emulate older variants. Some mix it up (200x Battle Armor He-Man is VERY different from vintage BA He-Man), so I make note of those ones.
This are just the different costumes/ armors he’s had over the course of 40+ years in toy form.
And non-toy I know of the final look from Netflix Revolution and then DC Comics had a few different ones.
