Tag: Masters of the Universe Classics

Mattel and Toy Guru (Scott Neitlich) are on hand at Wizard World Philadelphia, as the Masters of the Universe line is being inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. Toy Guru revealed the Club Eternia subscription figure in September for Masters of the Universe Classics, and it is none other than Chief Carnivus from the Masters of the Universe 200X animated show.

In that show, Carnivus was a member of the Eternian Council that was established by King Randor. I’m looking forward to how Mattel will fit him into the Classics-verse.

And in a brief, too quick to pic moment, attendees got a glimpse in the slide show of what appeared to be Grizzlor. More pictures to come!

In just over a week, I hope to right the grievous wrong that was inflicted upon me. It was 2003, and I was at my first San Diego Comic-Con. I ended up in the wrong line at the Mattel booth, and instead of being able to pick up the exclusive Keldor for the MOTU 200X line, I could only get a Batman figure in the process of unmasking. Argh!

So don’t let me down, MattyCollector.com! If you sell out of this Masters of the Universe Classics Keldor figure before I can even press submit on your order page, *seven years* of frustration will be unleashed on you! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!*

The Search for Keldor is over. Yep, the conclusion to that mysterious minicomic from so many years ago is about to happen at Matty Collector. The special bonus quarterly figure for Q2 2010 is Miro’s indiscretion, Randor’s evil half-brother and He-Man’s nasty old uncle, the man that would be Skeletor, the Apprentice of Hordak (did we get all of the titles?), Keldor.

*Actually, I’ll probably just hit up ebay, but I’ll still be sad. 🙁

VeeBee kicks off the first of the Fwoosh First Looks at the upcoming MattyCollector.com figures with the Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra. I think she’s a great looking figure and I’ll be glad to add her to my collection in June. My nitpick for the figure is that when I look at her head sculpt compared with Adora’s, I wouldn’t think, “Hey, Adora is She-Ra!” in the same way that I did many years ago with Prince Adam and He-Man.

With the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Prince Adam accessory, even though he’s got a different head sculpt than the various He-Man figures we’ve gotten in MOTUC, there’s still no mistaking that they are one and the same.

The gender gap that exists between the various Masters of the Universe is starting to close just a little bit. We have had the Most Powerful Man in the Universe in He-Man since the onset of the MOTUC line back in December of 2008 so finally, after a full 18 month wait, we can add the Most Powerful WOMAN in the Universe to our ranks and make old Hordak actually have to get off of his batty butt to to keep Etheria under his regime. Let’s take a look at He-Man’s little sister (only by a couple of minutes) to see how She-Ra’s figure stacks up.

I’m still bitter that I missed my chance at picking up the MOTU Classics Tytus this month – so I’m muttering under my breath as I’m linking you to Noisy’s excellent review of Tytus over at IAT.

Tytus has a very unique look that’s not quite Classics. The original Tytus wasn’t simply a scaled up vintage figure and the Classics Tytus isn’t just a scaled up MOTUC with less articulation. When I look at him overall, he almost appears more 200x than Classic, but I can’t exactly put my finger on why. He doesn’t have any of the uh, “hyper anime” flair, but his larger size does allow for more detail on the armor, some veins on the hands and arms, hammered metal details on the boots, and the intricate belt design. I imagine a 200x fan could place him with that collection and be happy. And, all the while, he still fits in just fine with the Classics. Simply put, the part of Tytus the 4H had control over is great and makes you feel the closest to getting your money’s worth.
