For the first time since the Wind Raider, I think, I’m actually going to be attempting to order something off Mattycollector. I’ve been remiss about posting these “Happy…” Mattycollector posts since the subscription became standard and there have been few things people actually had to order, but the Great Unrest pack is probably going to be popular enough to merit it.
Here’s a review of the Weapons Pak at Fwoosh.
Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe@poeghostal.com.

A reader recently told me he really enjoyed the MOTUC bio discussions, and I realized I hadn’t done one in ages. And so…here you go, Poester! (more…)
Power-Con is in full swing, and already some huge, huge news has been dropped: Castle Grayskull is coming. (more…)
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to go through the painful experience of ordering via Mattycollector, so much so that I totally forgot to do a “Happy Whoever Day!” post.
I will say I’m excited about Mekaneck. He’s the one He-Man figure I distinctly remember opening as a kid, and I’ve always been fond of his design. It looks like they’ve done a good job on his Classics figure.
Today also marks the releases of the Snake Men 2-Pack, Dragon Blaster Skeletor, and from Club Infinite Earths, Black Mask – the first CIE figure I’ll actually keep (and yes, review). There’s also some JLU and WWE stuff I’m not interested in, but if you are you can check out the all-in-one page. No one’s sold out yet!
The Doctor has a big, varied collection of toys, mostly action figures in the 6″-7″ scale, mostly licensed characters. As discussed before, part of the appeal of collecting is that I get to have all of my favorite characters in their own universe, a universe in which He-Man can fight the T-Rex from Jurassic Park with Gandalf, or Mulder and Scully can investigate aliens from the Star Wars cantina. There will always be demand for action figures of characters never before immortalized in plastic (see Poe’s desire for a Johnny 5 action figure) as well as better versions of previously made characters.

I am becoming alarmingly obsessed with Mattel’s Monster High series, although unemployment has prohibited me from purchasing them with anything like my usual recklessness. While a tally of the hours I’ve spent studying Monster High photos would be startling, I just today purchased my first ever Monster High doll: Ghoulia Yelps, from the “Skull Shores” series of beach-themed variants.
Since Ghoulia will also be my last Monster High purchase for the foreseeable future, I have decided to get my money’s worth by making Ms. Yelps the subject of a guest review here at Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation. Perhaps others will find these strange, misshapen lasses as compelling as I do. (more…)
Don’t forget – or, find out for the first time – September 4 is “Bring Your Man-E-Faces To Work” Day, a tradition started by several NECA sculptors last year. They note it’s “just a fun way to celebrate our enthusiasm for the MOTU line as well as the one character we can all agree on owning. It’s all about Man-E-Faces.” Take photos of your MEF at work and post them on the Facebook page!
