He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Image
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

MOTU Masterverse - Pig-Head

Image
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! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

A Marvel Universe Post!

Image
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! 

Super 7 - Conan the Barbarian

Image
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. 

MOTU Origins Snake Men - Lord Gr'asp

Image
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...
