And the September MOTUC figure is… (updated w/ pic)
Chief Carnivus. It was just revealed (via ImpHolocron) at the “Big Toy Industry” panel at Wizard World Philadelphia, as Masters of the Universe was inducted into the ToyFare Hall of Fame.
Doc Thomas Probes > Holy Grails
Two things occured to me today as I answered the door in my wheelchair, only to leap up to my feet screaming “IT’S A MIRACLE!!” when it turned out to be the same two Mormons from last week who still haven’t learnt their lesson.

But while I [...]
