Masters of the Universe Classics: Year by Year - 2017 Super 7 Takes Over

Masters of the Universe Classics was over...but was the demand? It was no secret that Mattel was done with it - Classics was a hassle, and the people with the ability to juggle quality, fan requests, complaints, and the website to sell it - were gone or done as well. Was anyone willing to shoulder the burden?

Masters of the Universe Classics: Year by Year - 2016

This was it! 2015 pushed through with a sub drive, asking people to jump all-in as much as possible so that they could squeeze out just one more year for Classics. Well, 2016 came along and they went for it again! The collector's couldn't be squeezed much more, however. Come on in and find out what we got for the last year of Masters of the Universe Classics!

Masters of the Universe Classics: Year by Year - 2010

Welcome back! Are you ready for year two of Masters of the Universe Classics? No? This blog was already full of MotUC? WELL TOO BAD. Get in here, you!

Fortress of Mystery and Power - PART FOUR: Superfluous Supplementary

What, part four?!  Why??

To wrap up the "story", of course!  Perhaps there are a couple more things I didn't cover, as well?  I dunno man, I'm not paying attention.

Fortress of Mystery and Power - PART THREE: Release the Bowels

RELEASE THE BOWELS OF THE CASTLE!  Just, not your bowels.  Unless your levels of excitement are so high that you just simply cannot contain them.  In which case: take a few minutes to clean yourself up before reading on.

Fortress of Mystery and Power - PART TWO: Outside the Castle Walls

Details, details!  In our next installment of the way-too-long review of MotUC Castle Grayskull, we take a look at the details of the outside of the castle.  Join me, won't you?

IN THE YEAR TWO-THOOOUSSAAAAND (and two)

Go ahead and think back to when you were five, or somewhere around that area.  Now, using your five-year-old brain: think about the year 2000.  Crazy, right?  Well this mother is from 2002, and it was the year that Mattel decided to smack us with Masters of the Universe again, but this time with a little help from the Four Horsemen, Sculptors of Detail and all Things Totally METAL. 

In The Beginning, There Was....

Before time began...the 80's.  There wasn't anything before that, right?  Anyway: There was THIS.  Castle Grayskull!  Fortress of Mystery and Power! 

...also a playset for your toys.  But man, what a playset! 

Patchouliman (May '12)

Stinkor!  Enemy to Moss Man.  Moss Man smells like pine, and Stinkor smells like...well, patchouli.  Don't know what patchouli smells like?  Well scratch the above picture and sniff your screen!

Spy Monkey Wants your Money, and I Want You to Give it to Them

So I've spoken about Spy Monkey and their custom weapons before.  I've also told you about how you can't get the ones I showed you.  "ALEXX!", you shout toward my chiseled, handsome and dapper visage.  And I tell you to please, lower your voice.  You'll wake the tigers.  So you continue in a reverent whisper: "What can we buy from Spy Monkey Creations?"

MotUC's First Army Builders: Palace Guards (Jan '11)

Yeah, I bought two of those. 

I Keep Barely Taking Pics of Awesome Figures (Jan '11)

VIKOR IS AWESOME.  I'm serious.  Great figure.  Barely took any pics, but a great figure all the same.  It's one of those stand-out figures from the line that breaks the boundaries down.  If you like Conan, barbarian types, MotU, or just good toys, then you should own Vikor.  

Thanks for the Escape (Oct. '10)

These guys know how to put my favorites on my birth month!  Scareglow was November, but he was supposed to be October, so I still count him.  Roboto is October proper, though!  And if you read my opening post, you know robots are one of my top favorite things. 

Whiplash and Chief Carnivus Also Didn't Deserve Pics...? (Aug. and Sept. '10)

Another couple of figures of which I barely took any pics.  Can't say why.  They are certainly cool figures!  Well anyway, Whiplash is a vintage guy and a 200X guy.  His figure comes with a vintage head and a 200X head, as well as a vintage and 200X weapon.  The 200X weapon is disappointing because it is made to only fit in his open hand...meaning only those with open hands can use it.  And it looks like a super-mega-can opener.  The head is cool, but it looks a little big on his smaller body.  I mean compared to the 200X figure - he was ALL BEEF PATTY.  So we have this beefy head made for a beefy body on a comparatively smaller body. 

SDCC Exclusives 2010

It's funny...fans seem to like toy jokes, but they do NOT want those same toy jokes invading their toylines!  This is what happened with SDCC 2010 when one of the exclusives - just one of them - was based on a Robot Chicken sketch.

This is You on Black Flowers (July '10)

I gotta explain something again.  This is Count Marzo!  Well, this is how he looked in the 200X cartoon, and honestly I don't need a toy of his original look.

These are the Jokes, People

Random Jokes!  Most of these were either just random or responses to posts.  As usual, I can't remember what some of them were responding to.

Mix And Match: Fall Edition

It's actually completely random, but most of these pics are longer items of clothing on various figures.  Like they're getting ready for fall?  I dunno.

Mix and Match: After Optikk

What can you do with Optikk parts?  That was a question on my mind from the moment I saw his prototype.  The answer: MANY THINGS.

Don't Even Ask him about Cinnamon Toast Crunch (May '10)

So Optikk is awesome.  Not sure if you knew.  Heck, you probably didn't even know about him!  And why not?  Because The New Adventures of He-Man was something that most people hated for some reason, that's why.  Optikk came from that very toyline, though the toyline was just called He-Man while the cartoon was The New Adventures of He-man.  I didn't have the original figure, but I always wanted him.  I mean, what's not to love?  Big cyborg eyeball man.  Sounds like a score!
