2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I'm getting back into DVD'S. They're easy to hunt down and can be found relatively cheap at local thrift shops and even big box stores like Target and Walmart. After a long and stressful holiday week, it's time to unwind with this 1976 classic! 

I picked up some missing pieces to fill out my He-Man Power Attack collection. Again, what these figures lack in articulation, they more than make up for with aesthetics. I love the design of this reimagined MOTU line.  Beast Man is a deluxe figure, so he's a little bigger than the rest of the line. I really like his necklace, which looks more like a breastplate, made of animal skulls and skeletons. His whip is really cool, too.  Evil-Lyn is a great looking figure with a couple of cons. Her half skirt  completely hinders movement of the right leg. Also, because of her long hair, the head sculpt range of motion is also minimal. There's still a few villains in the line that I have to pick up but these are the core 4 from the first few episodes of the show. Simple fun here, guys. Nothing crazy, just an affordable solid line of remixe...

If you have Netflix then chances are you've already seen the series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Whether you enjoyed it or not is a different story. Alot of die-hard fans didn't like the direction the producers of the show took the mythos. I get it, although I didn't mind it one bit. In fact I really enjoyed it. The writing, the character chemistry and in-show origin flashbacks are all implemented nicely. I liked it so much that I snagged up a few of the figures.  He-Man  Battlecat Ram Mam Man-At-Arms Orko Man-E-Faces Trap Jaw Skeletor

It's always nice to be able to shift from one action figure brand to another. Especially when the hobby starts to get a little too pricey and/or repetitive. After picking up a few Origins figures, I found myself checking out the Masterverse line as well. There weren't many figures that caught my eye but Pig-Head, once again, won me over.  I mean, just look at him! He's like a cross between General Spidrax, Bebop and Road Pig!    Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified have some really cool figures out right now but most are way too overpriced for me. Transformers aren't even on my radar.  Thank goodness for Mattel and the MOTU franchise. With so much character variety and affordability, they're really hitting the spot for me right now. More Masters of the Universe goodness on the way! Stay tuned! 

I decided to take some of my Marvel Universe figures out of hiding and snap some pics. I miss everything about this line. The scale, the selection and most most of all, the hunt! These are just a few of my MU figs. One day I'll snap a pic of my entire collection. Enjoy!
