I have a question as to the wording on the card. For the transformation, it says 'return HIM'. This seems an inconsistency - aren't cards supposed to be referred to as 'it' or by their name rather than their sex? Not that I actually care, it just seemed odd.
The "it" wording wasn't until Dominaria came out, so not really inconsistent.
Planeswalkers, unlike every single other card in the game, seem to get referred to by gender, for some reason. See, for example: Sarkhan the Mad's first ability or Liliana's Defeat.
I think it fits when it's for a specific characters.
All cards, besides planeswalkers, are referred to as "it"s, even when that card depicts a specific character. (I.E. a legendary creature) It's been that way since at least the Weatherlight saga, when WotC started being more consistent with card syntax. Dominaria didn't change anything; you're thinking of the change to the pronouns used for players, not cards.

I'm a bit disappointed in both cards really. Both seem to have a bit of value, but Bolas seems way too slow for Standard play I still want both cards, especially Bolas 'cause he's my boy, but they'll be going into some of my commander decks.
I'd like to make a sick Grixis bolas themed standard deck, but it's not really strong enough right now.
