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

It took more than ten years of working on the property, but the Four Horsemen have finally added their own brand-new character to Masters of the Universe. You can read the not-so-secret history of Draego-Man’s creation in this Fwoosh interview with Horseman Eric Treadaway last year, which describes the process behind his creation. Of course, [...]

Mattel has posted a new video with Scott Neitlich explaining the Vykron SDCC exclusive and showing off the packaging.

When the Sorceress was introduced as a character in the 1980s Filmation cartoon [...]

Odds ‘n Ends > AICN, Collector Gene, MOTU Fan Films, SHM Rodan

PGPoA was mentioned on Ain’t It Cool News’ AICN Toys section yesterday in regard to my recent post about DCUC. Unfortunately, the quote they attribute to me is actually something I quoted from NoisyDvL5′s editorial on ItsAllTrue. I posted a comment to try and set the record straight. It’s been a banner week for Power Pals. [...]
