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?

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.
