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!

SDCC 2011 and the No Pics (Aug. '11)

A Cat for Battling (Feb. '10)

WOW.  This was one I was surprised to see when they announced it.  This toyline was already expensive without beasts!  Still....couldn't resist.  You can see I had the original one, and this one is just...perfect.  Everything I could have wanted in an articulated version of the 'ol cat.  Everything has been faithfully recreated with the Four Horseman's trademark super detail.

Don't Piss off Skeletor (Feb. '10)

...or else you'll end up like Trap-Jaw.  Well, depending on your choice of story!  The original minicomic had Trap-Jaw as an inter-dimensional criminal that was brought to Eternia when Skeletor tried to open up Castle Grayskull (because the Castle was originally this mysterious dimensional nexus).  Our new mashed-together story of MotUC makes Trap-Jaw a mix of the 200X story and the old one.  They are keeping the criminal thing, but also bringing over his previous name of Kronis, from 200X.  He was Kronis before he became Trap-Jaw, and Kronis worked for Keldor (Skeletor's name before the whole face melting business). 

Armor for Battling (Jan. '10)

He-Man's first variant: Battle Armor!  The kinda armor you wear down to the Battling Cages on Mid-Boss Mondays.  Why?  Cause this armor apparently fixes itself up after three hits!  Yeah, if you know toys, then you're familiar with battle damage and all the options available for that kinda feature.  Sometimes it's awesome removable parts like Jurassic Park dinosaurs that had breakaway skin to reveal bones 'n such, or maybe cuts and scrapes that are revealed with cold water and disappear with hot water.
