I don’t know…it reads weird to me. –PG
The Preternia Poster: From Adam to Tyrantisaurus
It’s time for the fourth and final round of Eternian A-Z, or in this case, A-T. Funny that Zodac only made the first poster, while Prince Adam–an action figure of the hero’s mild-mannered alter ego–appears on all four of them. His popularity is definitely a credit to cartoon creators. That, or little boys really wanted [...]
The Horde Poster: From Adam to Whiplash
Welcome to the third in my four-part exhaustive analysis of the Masters of the Universe promotional posters from the 1980s. This one is the Horde Poster, which actually probably have come second–after the Grayskull poster but before the Eternia poster. I’m not certain because I can’t find his signature, but I assume this one was, [...]
The Eternia Poster from Adam to Webstor
I enjoyed doing the A to Z for the Grayskull poster so much, I decided to do it for the other two posters as well. This week it’s the Eternia poster, and next week I’ll put up the Powers of Grayskull (dinosaur) poster. Sadly, Zodac isn’t in this one, robbing me of that satisfying “(A)dam [...]
The Grayskull Poster from Adam to Zodac
Back in the heyday of Masters of the Universe during the 1980s, a few promotional posters for the line were made. These were lush, fully-painted depictions of the characters rather than checklists featuring photos of the action figures. By far my favorite was the so-called Grayskull Poster, because it featured most of the early, iconic [...]
Corn Sword
So over the weekend I was looking at my MOTUC Mer-Man and remembered hearing his weapon derogatorily referred to as a “corn sword” (moreso the original version than the MOTUC one). Curious to see what Google had to say about the term, I punched it in…I think the first result speaks for itself. Pleased to [...]
The real “Danger at Castle Grayskull” is stupidity
This is a page from the mini-comic “Danger at Castle Grayskull,” which came with the original Talon Fighter toy. It was the second of a two-story comic, and it came with a record so you could follow along and listen to the story. I’m pretty damned sure I had this as a kid–I know I [...]
The Ballad of G.I. Joe
I’ve resisted the urge to post every mildly amusing geek-related video I come across–and I’m sure 99% of you have already seen this–but it was too amazing not to post. That’s one hell of a cast. The Ballad of G.I. Joe from Olivia Wilde
Wheeljack screws the pooch on the Dinobots
(Warning: there’s more than a few f-bombs in this video, so probably NSFW.) My favorite part is Wheeljack’s argument about going for “authenticity.” Even as a kid, I did think it was weird Wheeljack built the Dinobots as idiots when he didn’t have to. Which may be why they were actually smart in the comics–Simon [...]
He-Man Goes Bollywood
I always like to start the day with a little surrealism, so please enjoy “Chahiye He-Man He-Man,” a song from the Indian film Nafrat Ki Aandhi, apparently. Try not to ask yourself whether the main woman is supposed to be Teela or Evil-lyn, or why Orko is wearing a shiny red muumuu, or why this [...]
