Mattel has posted pictures of the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Scareglow on its Facebook page. We asked them about the Greyskull accessory in the last installment of Ask Matty, but they were still playing it coy. The only clue from the cardback bio is that Scareglow is obsessed with breaking into Castle Grayskull.
Update: The official listing on the Mattycollector sales page lists the accessory as a “Cursed Grayskull reliquary.” Websters defines a reliquary as “a container or shrine in which sacred relics are kept” – perhaps the reliquary keeps Scareglow bound to Eternia in his ghostly form, or in servitude to Skeletor.
I never had a Scareglow when I was a kid, but having all these glow in the dark MOTUC toys (like the ring that comes with Tri-Klops) is making me feel like a kid again. Scareglow goes on sale on November 16th on Mattycollector.com.
I had to beg, borrow, and steal to get these lazy mofos (me included) to write something up, but here’s what some of the crackjack staff members at the Fwoosh (me included) had to say about what we saw coming out of San Diego Comic-Con.
At last, because no one demanded it and because the show’s been over for a month already, here’s the San Diego Comic-Con Best in Show review, by your friendly neighborhood Fwoosh staff.
We had previously reported that the Masters of the Universe Classics He-Man and Skeletor will be getting re-released on Mattycollector.com, with He-Man on November 16 and Skeletor on December 15. In addition to a slight packaging change, Mattel has listed out what they’ve changed on each figure.
I’m starting to get pangs of guilt for opening all my MOTU Classics figures now. 😀
He-Man®, Skeletor® Figures Updated & Re-Released
Awesome News, MOTU Fans!
Two of your favorite characters, He-Man® and Skeletor®, are getting updates and being re-released right here at MattyCollector.com! Both of the originals were giant hits when they were first released, but the Four Horsemen and Mattel had a few minor changes they wanted to do to make them even better.
Every time I get a new Masters of the Universe Classics figure, I contemplate whether I should even do a review. VeeBee at the Fwoosh did an awesome First Look when he got Tri-Klops about a month ago. And it’s always the case that by the time I receive my figure purchase from Mattycollector.com that said figure is sold out.
But hey, this is Tri-Klops we’re talking about! He was one of my favorite figures in the 200x relaunch of Masters, so I feel compelled.
TheFwoosh scores again, with an early look at the next figure coming out for Masters of the Universe Classics, Webstor. Unlike VeeBee, I never had a Webstor figure when I was a kid, and I don’t really remember him from the cartoon. Don’t hold that against me.
He does have the distinction of having his original action figure come out the same year as Jitsu, way back in 1984. And like Jitsu, Webstor didn’t get re-released in the 200X Masters line, but did get some love as a Staction from the Four Horsemen and NECA. All I’m saying is, when is this travesty going to end?
I know a lot of people are big fans of the 200x Webstor redesign, and with good cause – I think it was one of the strongest re-imaginations. I am a classic-head though, so even though Webstor is one of my favorites, I never owned the Staction. This figure was worth waiting for though, and not to fear 200x, as you have seen, the extra arms on his back are a great homage to the modern design without sacrificing the overall classic feel.
