Description

Bow is one of the most beloved and unique characters in She-Ra: Princess of Power. This doll is part of the vintage original line. As the only prominent male member of the Rebellion, Bow brings a distinct personality and charm to the show. He’s a loyal friend and ally to She-Ra and the other heroes of Etheria, and his adventurous spirit, bravery, and resourcefulness make him a key member of the team. Bow is also known for his humor and lighthearted personality, often bringing levity to the group even in the face of danger.

Bow’s character is an archer, naturally, and he’s always armed with his trusty bow and arrow. He has a kind heart and is dedicated to the cause of the Rebellion, fighting tirelessly against the Evil Horde alongside She-Ra and the other rebels. Bow has a bit of a romantic side too—he often has a soft spot for She-Ra and Glimmer, sometimes hinting at a deeper connection. His playful attitude, charm, and friendship with She-Ra make him one of the standout characters in the series.

One of the notable features of the Bow doll was his muscular build, which aligned him more closely with the action figure style of the Masters of the Universe line. Despite this, his colorful and glittery costume made him blend seamlessly into the She-Ra line. The original Bow figure also had rooted hair—an uncommon feature in male action figures of that era. This helped him match the aesthetic of other She-Ra dolls, who also had rooted hair.

This She-Ra Bow doll included:

  • Red cape
  • Chest armor (features a button on the back that makes the red heart on the front “beat” when pressed)
  • Gold headband
  • Gold bow with a quiver of arrows
  • Mini-comic titled “The Hidden Symbols Mystery”

The vintage She-Ra: Princess of Power figures from the 1980s are a nostalgic goldmine for fans and collectors alike. Produced by Mattel, the 1984 figures were all about combining strength, glam, and a touch of magic. Each character—from She-Ra herself to allies like Bow and Glimmer and villains like Catra—came with unique outfits, accessories, and often glittery details that gave them a mix of superhero and fantasy vibes. The figures also included fun extras like mini-comics, colorful combs, and, in some cases, action features (like Catra’s face-changing mask or Double Trouble’s rotating head).
