MOTU Origins Thundercats Skell- Ra ( Mumm-Ra) Pt.2

There are some action figure purchases that leave you scratching your head. You get it out of the packaging, pose and play with only to realize that it isn't as cool as you thought it was when it initially caught your eye on the pegs or saw it online. Such was not the case with MOTU Origins Skell-Ra! 









In part 1 of my Skell-Ra post, I incorrectly referred to this set as being a multipack and it isn't. This falls more under the "deluxe " category. That said, Mattel's Origins line of figures are heavily customizable and because of that they can essentially sell you one action figure, throw in an extra head with accessories and "VOILA!" Now you have a kick ass version of Skeletor and Iconic 80s Thundercats antagonist Mumm- Raa AT THE SAME TIME! I know, crazy right? At any rate, I'm having wayyy too much fun with this line right now. I've even started watching Thundercats again to re-familiarize myself. In fact, as I write this, Panthro is having an epic one-on-one showdown with Slithe in season 1 Episode 4  of the series. Stay tuned for more MOTU Thundercats goodness as I go over some of my favorites from the line.

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Image
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
