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 - 2008 to 2009

This may seem redundant, seeing as how I started this blog to showcase all my Masters of the Universe Classics pictures, but I seem to find myself slowing down in terms of full-on reviews. That's not to say that'll I'll stop, but I felt like Instagram gave me a reason to run down each figure in a few shots (or less). Since I photographed ALL of them, why don't we do some year by year short reviews for each figure?

Mega Construx Heroes: He-Man and Skeletor

Hey, time for posts to resume!  Sort of!  I still don't have the time and space to do my usual long, joke-filled posts, but my Instagram has been going strong (since it's much easier to snap a picture at one point in the day, clean up the ugly phone pics with the editing tools, and post them when I get a chance throughout the day, without having to be at a computer).  With that in mind, I figure I should use what I got and take this chance to say more about recent things I've been buying.

The January Review: Favorites of 2016

I noticed a trend of awesome video game toys for 2016, but that doesn't mean those were the only awesome toys!  Here's a list of general favorites from my first year with a baby, so I...you know, didn't really get to talk about most of them.

Octobersbest: Mythic Legions SKELETONS

It's time, once again, for Octobersbest! Wait...*checks calendar* CRAP IT'S WAY PAST TIME FOR OCTOBERSBEST! Well I better catch up with a megaton punch of pictures, right?

Super 7's Retro Masters of the Universe

Alright, I gotta cover these NOW.

Schwagmas Schtuff

It's time!  Time to wonder why someone my age is still getting THIS many toys for Christmas.  Seriously though: are you still wondering after having seen the contents of this blog?

The Tree Post: Merry Christmas or Anything Else You Celebrate

For at least two years now I've posted a "tree post" and wished you Merry Whatever You Celebrate along with Christmas.

HERE IT IS AGAIN.

The Four Horsemen's Mythic Legions: Prototypes

With my planned post once again pushed back, I turn to some other items I'm currently excited about!  This'll just be a quick 'n easy photo session, but it's only because these are so easy to pose!

Don't Make a 'Frozen' Joke (Oct. '12)

I told myself I wasn't going to make a "Frozen" joke in the title, so I didn't.

Hey, you wana check out the first member of the Great Rebellion, beyond Adora and She-Ra?  And the Star Sisters?  And Bow?  Back in 2012?  Sure you do!

Snake Rattlor Roll (Oct. '12)

Now that MotU Castle Grayskull is finally reviewed, I feel like I can get back to the main toyline!  Picking back up where I left off, it looks like we're in...2012?!  Dangit, how did I get so behind?!  And why do I feel like I need to do these in order??

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?

Fortress of Mystery and Power - PART ONE: To Begin With

In 2008, Mattel grabbed He-Man fans by the neck and asked if we were ready.  We weren't sure what we were supposed to be ready for, at the time.  We got an awesome exclusive King Grayskull figure with what was supposed to be the body for the new Masters of the Universe Classics toyline...but were we REALLY getting that?  And if we did, how far would it go?  Surely the interest wasn't strong enough to get to the more unique characters.  Realistically, this could only last up until the big-time vintage figures were made.  I only expected to get He-Man and Skeletor and leave it at that.

Beyond that....far, far beyond that: We would never get a Castle Grayskull.  That would just be ridiculous.  No point in even hoping for that monster to come around.

When You've Just GOT to Have a Test Subject

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. 

Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals

Aw, come back!  I didn't mean it!  You can't help being filthy, it's not your fault!

The Great Box of Mystery and Power

I dunno man.

Firm Grip

Yay, Photobucket fixed the pageview thing!  Still can't upload, but I'm sure that's next.  Anyway, I'm going through the 'ol albums and finding interesting things.  I think I took this pic for someone asking about the size of the SDCC exclusive Voltron.  This was it.

Whoo!
