2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

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! 

It was only a matter of time before I added this figure to my collection. I loved the films as a kid and owned a couple of the Marvel comics. Both were pretty great, this figure isn't.  You get minimum head movement because of the long haired head sculpt. The medallion around his neck and sword are made of a very cheap plastic and feel as if they could easily break. Also, the sword fits better in Conans left hand. Super 7 does get the facial likeness of Schwarzenegger right. Ultimately, this is a figure to be displayed and not played with. In fact, it may be best to keep him in package, displayed on a wall or something. For $30 bucks, it's a figure better off left on card. 

Lets start with the name, because it's all in the name. Lord Gr'asp! You have to be pretty important to be appointed "Lord" of anything. Of all the cool Snake Men monikers, Lord Gr'asp's is my faves. MOTU art never gets old! I need to see these iterations of Snake men in an animated series. Throw in some Sun-Man cameos and i'll be a happy man. Also, who's the guy in the left hand corner? Is that Clamp- Champ? What I like the most about this figure is the color scheme. There's an unhealthy shortage of black and yellow action figures out there and its concerning. Comment below If you can think of any .  There aren't many flaws with this figure. If I had to nitpick it would probably be the little action lever on Lord Gr'asps's claw. It's the same as Clawful's. I was never a fan of visible action feature levers on figures. Lines like Flash Gordon DOTE and Marvel Toy biz 4" figures...

Much like Vypor, Reptilax is a stand alone character and according to the mini comic, not very trustworthy. Reptilax is the bruiser in the Snake Men clan. You know, the guy they send to your house to collect. That kind of personality trait fits this characters design perfectly. The studded web gear, battle axe, sword and shield together work nicely and succeed in giving Reptilax a menacing look.   That head sculpt with tounge sticking out is outstanding! The lack of paint apps on these figures is par for the course. But even that doesn't take away from the overall appearance.  Look at that tail! So cool!  I've got one more MOTU Origins Snake Men figure on the way so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, grab yourself a hot cup of coffee and enjoy a 2 Minute Toy Break! More to come...

I'm collecting MOTU Origins heavy at the moment. But as much as I love the O.G. figures, right now I'm transfixed on all of the great side factions. My recent deep dive into the Sun-Man line of figures has segued into an unhealthy obsession with... the Snake Men!  There ain't much that I can say about this product that the pics don't already convey. Vypor is a great action figure! The living embodiment of Vyper Tower, Vypor is a stand alone character in the Rise of the Snake Men mythos and comes off as somewhat of a lackey in the mini comic.  I love everything about this figure, from  the articulated neck and head sculpt down to the metal chain link accessory that adorns Vypor's armor.  Vypor towers over He-Man! It's nice to have a larger sized MOTU figure as most are in the same scale. It also feels like you're getting more for your money....

I don't like to army build. It's expensive and I just don't have the space for it. However, after finding MOTU Origins Necro-Conda at a decent price on eBay, I decided to pick up two more.  As always, the box art is on point. He-man has got his hands full! I'm not very familiar with much of the Snake-Men roster. I know King Hiss, Tung Lashor, Kobra Khan etc. Necro-Conda is new to me. Apparently, these glow-in-the-dark entities are magically manifested by way of Snake Men soldier sorcery. Zoom in on the bio-card for more details.  Necro-Conda is an absolutely bad-ass figure! He comes equipped with two swords a dagger and removable pincher on his right arm. My favorite accessory is the articulated snake tail!  Another great aesthetic is the soft goods cape and hood.  Necro's snake tail accessory is articulated but has limited range of motion....
