2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Just because the MOTU movie craze has died down doesn't mean I can't keep the party going with some kick ass Chronicles figures! Let's check out Skeletor!  Even though these are supposed to be  high end figures, there's something about them that feel a little bit off. For one, Skeletors head sculpt is great but the hood restricts movement. Trying to manipulate it to look up or down will sometimes result in the head popping off. That kind of blows. Also, make sure to pop those alternate hands on nice and tight to prevent them from coming off when posing. Not major deal breakers but something to be aware of.  Skeletors buck is painted in a cool, whitewashed blue that looks good in hand.  Here's the thing with MOTU Chronicles figures, they have lots of little details throughout but no black wash or shading to accentuate it. You have to see the figure up close to get the full effect. Everything from Skeletors armor to ...

Panthro came with so many accessories that I actually forgot to attach his leg armor in the first few pics. It's one of the few accessories that made the cut for my default Origins Panthro.  The ball & chain and  battle axe are interchangeable.  O.G. Panthro with the red and blue Chucks!   The cool thing about these figures is the amount of accessories included. You don't have to go with any one look for your figure. Experiment to your heart's content. This is what my MOTU Panthro will look like!  My MOTU/T-CATS collection so far!

#8 MOTU Origins is one of those lines that you can walk away from knowing there'll be something new and extremely cool waiting for you when you decide to start collecting it again. I blame Necro- Conda for my Origins relapse 😉  Fave Factor: Necro- Conda easily cracks this top 10 list. I mean just look at him! He looks like the snake creature in Dreamscape. There's a fun factor with figures like this, too. The soft goods cape, accessories and alternate snake tail give you different ways of displaying and photographing. Necro- Conda easily takes the 8 spot on my top 10 from 2025  list. 

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
