Bastards of the Universe > Bastards for Tots!
Man, I haven’t done of these in a while. I was going to blame it on computer trouble, but mostly I’ve just been a lazy sack. Geeks for Tots is a great cause, and a great give-away: I won second a couple years back! Do yourself a favor and get in on it; and you’re [...]

Happy Snout Spout Day!
I’m not sure I would ever have thought we’d get to today, when Snout Spout, Eternia’s answer to Joseph Merrick, is added to everyone’s Masters of the Universe collections. Of course, this is also the first time since…man, I don’t even remember, maybe the Eternian Palace Guards?–that I have to go onto Mattycollector and order [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Bubbles, Vegas, a Lego movie

I’m going to say…yes, probably, though casual collector enthusiasm for MOTUC has definitely waned over the last year or so. While I was in [...]
