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 - 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?

Never Look Up Around a Giant In a Loincloth (Feb '11)

TYTUS.  Big.  80's metal hair.  Comes with a hair dryer.  All these things speak of the might of a giant...dude. 

Muscle Bug Man with Mechanical Wings (Dec '10)

Yeah, still was making fun of Stratos at that time.  Wait...I'm still doing that now.

Mix and Match: An Old Pastime

I've already stated my love for accessories.  That love stems from the fact that any one accessory could mean the perfect item for some other figure. 

Other times...I just like throwing things together and seeing what sticks.  Here's some of that.

WEAPONS PAAAAAAAK!!! (Apr. '10)

Have I mentioned I love accessories?  See, back in the day accessorizing was for both girls and boys!  We just accessorized with different stuff.  Barbies had a million jobs they could perform just by changing clothes, and figures like He-Man could be equipped for any battle with multitudes of weapons!  The original Weapons Pak was a favorite of mine, so I was super excited to get a new version of it for mixing-and-matching goodness with the MotUC line. 

Warror, Goddess, Sorceress: Teela (Oct. '09)

The first female in the line!  Teela came around in the vintage line pretty early, and she was confusing as heck.  Just as Zodac sorta had conflicting backgrounds between the toy and the show, Teela had conflicting backgrounds in EVERYTHING.  The toy labels her as a warrior goddess, the minicomics show her off as a warrior without her snake armor and The Goddess with her snake armor.  So then the cartoon rolls around and erases The Goddess, replaces her with a Sorceress (and Teela is back to a warrior), and then later minicomics say that Teela is a clone of the Sorceress!  GAH!

Man-At-Arms: Finally, Someone Useful (July '09)

I don't hate Stratos...he's just useless.  Of course, at the time the Good Guy count was two: He-Man and Stratos.  The Bad Guy count was five: Skeletor, Beastman, Mer-Man, Faker, and Hordak.  Zodac is off in his own little world of neutral, gray indifference.  Or he's evil.  Either way it doesn't help the Good Guys.  Then along comes Man-At-Arms, bringing all the MAN and the ARMS.

...What About Other Accessories?

You got a taste with the guitars - I'm an accessory freak.  I have been swapping them out between figures since I was little.  Whenever something might line up with someone else I try 'em out.

And Then he Bought Tiny Guitars (Feb. '09)

Like I said in the last post: I found these little Guitar Hero guitars at Toys R Us, and when they went on clearance I got the whole set.  At the time of these pics I think I only had a few.

I'm not sure what they were made for other than display.  They came with little stands to show them off, and they could be taken apart for customization but...well that's kinda boring!  Once I found out they were the perfect size for MotUC figures I was set.  That was all I needed.  Thank you random Guitar Hero toys.
