		<description><![CDATA[When He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was on the air, the series often followed a pattern: a new character would be developed as a toy, then added to the cartoon. It was rare for it to work in the opposite direction, though it occasionally did: Prince Adam, Cringer, Orko, King Randor, and the Sorceress [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a heads-up&#8211;for a variety of reasons, I won&#8217;t be attending Toy Fair next week like I did last year. I will, however, be offering my usual armchair coverage, and I will have someone representing PGPoA&#8211;JediN8&#8211;who will be taking photos and tweeting from the Mattel and Hasbro collector events, as well as the Fair itself.

		<description><![CDATA[Clawful has always been my go-to guy for terrible Masters of the Universe names. Along with Two-Bad, nothing reminds you more that this is was a toy line aimed squarely at young children than a name like Clawful. I never owned Clawful as a kid, or even knew anyone who did. The character could have [...]]]></description>

Barbecue17 asks: What does Mattel consider a legitimate QC issue that would warrant figures to be delayed or exchanged in mass? For some figures who customers have perceived as having problems, these have been responses from some Mattel reps: &#8220;Mossman is not a bath toy.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing my effort to catch up on the MOTUC reviews&#8230; Mattel was nothing if not thrifty with the original Masters of the Universe line in the 1980s. The mold for Battle Cat was borrowed from a Big Jim playset from the 1970s, and Panthor was obviously a repainted, flocked Battle Cat. Mattel is just as [...]]]></description>
