Poe’s Pick of the Week: Super Robot Chogokin Megazord
For Power Rangers fans, here’s a super-detailed, 6″-scale, super-articulated Dino Megazord. I actually own this and owe you a review. In stock now! –PG
Happy Castle Grayskullman Day!
Look, I get people think this site is rife with negativity regarding MOTUC, at least in the comments. But the truth is I still love MOTU and MOTUC – I’m just not the obsessed person I was a couple years ago. This always happens with me – I go through fads. I’m in more of a Godzilla mood lately, but I’m sure MOTU (and/or Batman, or Hellboy, or whatever) will come back around at some point.
All of which is to say, Castle Grayskullman is pretty awesome and goes on sale today. What’s his appeal? I think it’s that he feels both brand-new and a perfect throwback to the days of MOTU yore.
Anyway, CGM is on sale today, along with Filmation King Randor (which I’m actually rather excited about – always wanted this as a kid), Dekker (whom, I must confess, is a bit of an afterthought for me), the Club Infinite Earths Uncle Sam and John Constantine, and Courtroom Peter Venkman and Ray Stanz.
All-in-one sale page is here. And as you face the White Screen of Doom, may the odds be ever in your favor!

Castle Grayskull wasn’t built in a day (by Tytus), but by MOTU fans, over several weeks
Yeah, it went through – and then some. We’re getting Castle Grayskull, folks. Start saving those pennies. You’ve got about a year.

The world of action figures keeps getting closer and closer to the world of video games, and we here at Collector-ActionFigures.com are well aware of that fact. So to honor this week’s Halo 4 release, we’ve decided to partner up with McFarlane Toys to give away a great Halo 4 action figures prize pack. In fact, we’re giving away a prize pack including four different figures including Master Chief, Elite Zealot, Storm Grunt, and Spartan Warrior. (more…)

“Found this at my local Toys R’ Us in the St. Louis area. At least the troll decided to pose Mystique to match the Harley.”
Pic of the Day > Poe, circa March 1985
I dug this out and thought it would make for a fitting Pic of the Day today, the last day to help get enough pre-orders for the Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull. Yes, this is me, right around March 1985 according to the developer’s date on the back. Contrary to my recent post, it appears I also had at least Beast Man, Prince Adam and Faker as well (which, come to think of it, I should have remembered). Battle Cat and the Attak Trak are hiding back there as well.
But the important thing is the Castle Grayskull – proof positive that I did indeed own that wonderful playset. And also, evidently, a rancor I was quite fond of.
