Glad I could sell you on the true brilliance of the bootlegs. They really are more unique than that mass-produced, well-made crap from Mattel ;) Masters of the Uniworse toys are pretty scary. They look like undead versions or something. Creepy. @dafly – Ha! Glad I could sell you on the true brilliance of the bootlegs.

Masters of the Uniworse toys are pretty scary. They look like undead versions or something. Creepy.

Anyone else getting an "Action League Now!" vibe from Man-Hero? "The Flesh! He's super strong, AND super naked!" It's also weird to find two toy blogs that I've been following separately coming together. It's like finding an old crush who is now dating someone you work with...sort of... Justin, I also find myself getting MOTUC and Mattel updates almost exclusively through this site. I guess what I like about both of your blogs is that it's very conversational and humorous. I just find a lot of web sites take this stuff far too seriously. We're a bunch of twenty- and thirtysomethings talking about TOYS for cryin' out loud! Great stuff, as always.

I enjoyed that. Does anyone remember the MOTU rip-off line being sold at Big Lots a few years back? They weren't obvious bootlegs such as these, but there were a lot of similarities. They were around the 3.75" scale, and came with all sorts of accessories and such. I never picked any up but was often tempted to. Great write-up! I enjoyed that.

Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks, Poe, for giving me the opportunity to share the weirdo-toy love on your site. Yeah, Man-Hero & Skulldar are pretty screwed up, and I love how short Skulldar is. If you like these toys, then you should definitely check out these other He-Man & Skeletor bootlegs I posted on my site a while back. <a href="http://www.weirdotoys.com/2008/07/07/masters-of-the-uni-worse/" rel="nofollow">http://www.weirdotoys.com/2008/07/07/masters-of-t...</a> Thanks guys.
