Review > Procrustus (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)

Released in December 2012, Procrustus is a giant sized figure similar in size to the earlier giants Tytus and Megator. He measures in right around 12 inches from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, although his posture is slightly hunched over. While he’s not a very well known Masters of [...]

Review > King He-Man (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)

I grew up with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, but admittedly my connection to the characters runs pretty thin.  I love the major players like He-Man, Skeletor, Beast-Man, Ram-Man and Man-at-Arms.  I’ve also got a soft spot for others like Clawful and Merman.  Modulok is about as fringe as I get. Although I’m [...]

It’s Karatti and the Fighting Foe Men Day

Order here, discuss below! I’ll confess I’m not even sure I’d ever heard of Karatti until the MOTUC version was announced. He seems to have a pretty cool design, although I’m getting a bit tired of the Trap Jaw legs (the side-to-side ankle action never seems to work on them). As for the Fighting Foe [...]

When Worlds Collide: Masters of the Universe vs. DC Universe

Yeah, so, this is happening. Y’know, I still think Teela’s outfit is ridiculous yet completely in line with the New 52.

Review > Mosquitor (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)

The following is a guest review. The latest addition to The Mighty Horde’s army is Mosquitor, The Evil Energy Draining Insectoid, who was released last December. He sold out reasonably quickly after he went on sale but has since turned up on Mattycollector for sale as excess Customer Service Stock. Which has also sold out. [...]

Clear red Hordak appears on Mattycollector & is quickly spirited away

So, for a brief period today, a Horde symbol appeared on Mattycollector. Clicking on it led you to this page: Once word got out, it sold out almost instantly. The text reads: Congratulations! By magic or by luck you’ve found a secret figure! Now you see him… but this master of manipulation can disappear at any moment, [...]

Review > Netossa (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)

The following is a guest review. While I have been a fan of Masters of the Universe since I was a wee lad in 1982, I know very little about Princess Of Power, or the Netossa character specifically (beyond the difficulty to get a carded vintage sample). In fact, watching the She-Ra cartoon in preparation [...]

Who’s Your Mosquitor? A Discussion With Pixel Dan

POE GHOSTAL: So, Dan, a few weeks back you tweeted that Mutagen Man would be appearing on the new TMNT series. He was a favorite of yours, as was Mosquitor (for readers who somehow don’t know, Dan is a HUGE fan of Mosquitor and was campaigning for the character to be added in MOTUC for years). [...]

Review > Jitsu (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)

Poe’s Note: In 1987, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley declared April 28 Masters of the Universe Day. This was around the time the Power Tour came to LA so I’m sure this was some sort of publicity stunt, but fans, tongues firmly in cheek, have embraced the day as a time to celebrate their favorite [...]
