Review > Snake Face (Masters of the Universe Classics)

Mattel’s April Masters of the Universe Classics figure is Snake Face, the Medusa-esque lieutenant of King Hsss! If you weren’t a subscriber and didn’t want to risk Matty’s awful hassle-filled site, this is the time when you’d be deciding if you want him.

Call for Help Completing My MOTUC Reviews

As I mentioned a while back, I’m now officially a cherry picker on Masters of the Universe Classics. This includes selling off some of the figures I don’t want as they arrive from this year’s subscription.

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

As I discussed a few weeks back, I’ve effectually become a cherry-picker on MOTUC (I plan to sell the figures I don’t want). But one figure I always knew I’d hang on to since the minute he was revealed was Fang Man. He’s a member of the Evil Warriors, which makes him a keeper right [...]

Mr. Obrero was kind enough to provide a quick look at this studio before diving into [...]

Poe’s Point > Why I’m Not Subscribing to the Filmation Sub

First off, please note that I recognize this post presumes you give a crap about whether I subscribe to the Filmation sub. This may be very much not the case, but to those of you who visit this site largely for MOTUC content, I feel I owe it to you. As all longtime readers of [...]
