How Much Would You Pay for this LEGO Castle Grayskull Playset?

Sadly, it’s not for sale, but LEGO enthusiast Fraslund has certainly made a LEGO Castle Grayskull playset which gets the imagination going. Unlike Hasbro, with its KRE-O brand, I don’t think Mattel has its own brand of construction toys, leaving open the licensing opportunity for LEGO to add Masters of the Universe to its stable of toy brands that captivated my youth – Marvel, DC, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sadly, this probably has as much chance as Skeletor taking over Eternia, but I can dream, right?

Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia – Map of Subternia Viewer

It’s becoming a tradition – each year when the Club Eternia exclusives ship, I publish one of the more popular posts on AFP – the map viewer for the Club Eternia exclusive map. This year, Mattel shipped the Map of Subternia with the club exclusive King He-Man. I even got a 24 cent refund for being overcharged for the map shipment. A thousand more of those and I’ll have saved up enough for Castle Grayskull! 😉

Position your mouse over areas of the map to magnify it.

Big thanks again to my wife, who made this possible again this year. Enjoy exploring Subternia, and be sure to visit our previous installments:

Here’s the Castle Grayskull You Wish You Could Buy

When Jaime Einloft posted his Castle Grayskull custom on the Fwoosh, I felt more than a twinge of jealousy. Sure, I still have a pre-order in for Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics version (for now, at least), but this massive display piece is everything I could have hoped for from the source of Eternia’s power. Too bad it’s one of a kind.

Masters of the Universe Classics Jitsu Quick Pics

[instapress tag=”afpjitsu” piccount=”0″ size=”150″ effect=”fancybox”]

I am visiting my parents and had a stowaway – the Masters of the Universe Classics Jitsu. The horse is a souvenir my dad has from his days working in China, and I snapped a quick picture of it with Jitsu. And before long, I had this quick series of shots. Jitsu’s victim is an old Hulk Hogan from way back when Hasbro had the WWF license. I had a bunch of wrestling figures back in the 90s, and my dad asked if he could have one. And wouldn’t you know, he’s kept it in better shape than I have done with my modern day collection.

There’s a certain joy, being unburdened by camera gear and lights – I shot these with my camera phone and the sunlight coming in the window. It reminded me of my younger days, taking the original Jitsu figure out to the backyard and shooting pictures of him with an old hand-me-down 35MM. In a way, that’s what started this all.

DC Universe Classics Elongated Man and Dr. Manhattan Headline Limited MattyCollector Sale on 3/15

March Madness takes on a whole new meaning for Masters of the Universe Classics collectors with MattyCollector’s sale this month. First, Fang Man, the Club Eternia figure for March, is available only to subscribers – so for those of you cherry pickers who were looking forward to one of the big hitters from Filmation, you are out of luck.

Early Access this month proved to be a bit of a rage-generator for some as well, with Strobo selling out within a couple of minutes. I am guessing this will be hailed as a success for Mattel, who also sold all of their stock of Mekaneck and WWE Miss Elizabeths. What does that leave for sales day? MOTUC Keldor (remaining customer service stock), DC Universe Classics Elongated Man, Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan, and WWE Shawn Michaels. Although what you are looking for may already be sold out, here’s the bundle page for the March MattyCollector sale.
