The Great MOTUC Debate, Revisited
You’ll recall back in December of last year, I posted a series of articles with quotes from various high-profile collectors regarding their thoughts on Masters of the Universe Classics. (You can read them here and here.) Well, it’s been nine months, and at this point it’s safe to say that MOTUC has been a success. [...]
Review > Simon Belmont (Castlevania, NECA)
Being on something of a fantasy jag lately, I did one of those things where you look at a figure in store for months and months and months and finally break down and buy it. In this case it was for NECA’s Simon Belmont from their Castlevania line, who oddly enough hasn’t had any major [...]

Ask Mattel for September 15

Anyway, if you’re not on subscription, you can order your Webstor at 12noon Eastern time right here.

Reminder: MOTUC Poe Art Contest
Don’t forget about the “Make A MasterPOEce” contest, which ends on September 30. I swear to you this isn’t just an egotistical indulgence* (it wasn’t even my idea…), but it’s more an excuse to give away free toys, including a custom of your own design, a 2002 He-Man (on card) signed by the Four Horsemen, [...]
