Review > The Spectre (DC Universe Classics)

03.11.2010 | 7 comments | Posted by PrfktTear

Like many of DC Comics‘ most iconic characters, The Spectre received his first story during the Golden Age of comics way back in 1940 in More Fun Comics #55. The Spectre was a hero that one could not help but root for, a slain police officer who returns as the Wrath (or the Voice) of [...]

Review > Iron (DC Universe Classics)

03.09.2010 | 10 comments | Posted by PrfktTear

The Metal Men were created as a last minute filler feature and proved to be popular enough on their own right to get their own title. Each of the Metal Men, artificially intelligent robots, inherited their traits and abilities from their namesake metals, so whereas Iron is super strong, Lead is slow-witted and can block [...]

1.) Extremely nerdy question: Now that we’re getting a He-Man/Superman 2-pack at retail, does that mean the events of DC Comics Presents #47 are canon in the MOTUC universe–or is this a “What If?” scenario?
There actually isn’t an official 100% canon for MOTU. Each tale, whether told in a movie, TV series, comic book, toy [...]

Guest Review > The Question (DC Universe Classics, Mattel)

02.26.2010 | 8 comments | Posted by PrfktTear

Sometime between when Wave 8 and 9 of DCUC never really showed up on shelves in my area, and Wave 10 scarcely made its presence known before leaving a sea of Powergirls warming pegs like Cyborgs and Captain Colds before her, I decided that I would be cherry picking DCUC from thereon in, sticking with [...]

Odds ‘n Ends > Super G Edition

02.22.2010 | 29 comments

It shows how out of touch I am with the DCUC scene that I completely missed the fact that the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle on display at Toy Fair had double-jointed elbows and knees. A very interesting development–has Mattel said whether this signals a new direction for the line, or if this is just something [...]

Special Review > Emerald Energy Accessories (Spy Monkey Creations)

02.19.2010 | 20 comments

The other day I reviewed the Blade of the Demon King from Spy Monkey Creations, purveyors of fine custom weapons to the action figure community since 2009. While their efforts have focused on accessories best suited to Masters of the Universe Classics, with today’s set they make their move into Mattel’s other mega-popular line, DC [...]

1.) Now that the subscription seems to have become the primary business model for MOTUC (as opposed to the monthly sales), would you consider offering a second 2010 subscription for the latter half of the year? I suspect many fans who wavered the first time might jump at the chance now.
The 2010 subscription was a [...]

Poe’s Point Special > Toy Fair 2010

02.15.2010 | 30 comments

It would be impossible and way too much work for me to cover all the awesome stuff coming out of this year’s Toy Fair. The awesomeness seems to be hearkening back to the good old days of the early 2000s…anyway, instead of trying to list everything, I’m just going to hit the highlights of the [...]
