Masters of the Universe: Reissued Skeletor Figure

February 25, 2010

Before he was a derisive word for the too-thin (or a sarcastically derisive word for the too-fat), Skeletor was the arch-nemesis of He-Man. As with the Battle Cat post, I have to admit that I am definitely not very knowledgeable about the Masters of the Universe (Is He-Man one of them? If not, who the heck are they?). Really, all I can add to this post is that Skeletor always made me wonder why calling someone Skeletor meant that they were thin, when in fact Skeletor was totally ripped:

This reissued Skeletor figure stands roughly 6 inches tall and comes with a sword I can only imagine is extremely relevant to the plot (Eventually I will have to learn more than “looks cool” about these figures and this collection as a whole). He joins a bunch of other reissues and a selection of brand-new pieces over in CmdStore.com’s Masters of the Universe section. Check it out!


Masters of the Universe: Battle Cat Exclusive Figure

February 23, 2010

With absolutely no previous knowledge of the Masters of the Universe, I went to a friend’s house when I was a little kid and was quickly drawn to an awesome figure of a green tiger clad in armor. I figured it was just some generic import figure of some very cool thing I didn’t understand and yet I loved it anyway. It was a giant tiger wearing armor and that was really all I needed.

Years later, though, I would realize that what I was playing with was a Battle Cat figure based on the Masters of the Universe mythos. And then even further along, I would sit here at work and see that we had a pre-order available for a brand new reissue of the classic item.

From the official description:
he first beast figure in the Masters of the Universe line, Battle Cat has been crafted so He-Man fits in the saddle (as will most other MOTU characters) and can securely ride his iconic green feline into battle! Sculpted in amazing detail, this fully-articulated figure comes with removable armor and helmet, and his saddle holds the Sword of Power.

A member of the Green Tiger Tribe, Cringer was saved from a parek-narr attack by a young Prince Adam and afterwards became his devoted companion for life. He assisted Adam during his quest to unite both halves of the Power Sword of He and afterwards was enhanced by its power to become Battle Cat, the Fighting Tiger of Eternia. Cringer is one of only a handful of allies who knows Adam’s secret and fights alongside the other Masters of the Universe, carrying He-Man into battle against the forces of evil.

But mostly, people, it’s a giant tiger in armor. And that’s cool.

Masters of the Universe: Classics

October 7, 2009

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is one of a handful of fandoms that seems to have grown stronger with time, twenty and thirty-somethings as enamoured with the nostalgia as with the original show. But fans need not dig up all their old merchandise from their parents’ basement: the folks at Mattel have been creating new figures and reissuing old ones.

Coming soon, six new figures will join the line of “Classics”, adding to ranks that already include the likes of He-Man and She-ra, Man-at-Arms. Clamp Champ, Skeletor, Mer-Man and more. The new guys are: He-Man and Skeletor re-issues, Zodak, Teela, Scareglow and Webstor.

You can check ‘em out, along with the rest of the figures, over in our Masters of the Universe section!


Trydor Esooniux Scope: Tri-Klops is here!

September 3, 2009

Nothing gets past this guy! All-seeing and evil, Trydor Esooniux Scope’s blindness was cured by the acquisition of a tri-optic visor, which allowed him powers like Gammavision, Night Vision, Distavision and more, while also giving him three eyes and creating the villain TRI-KLOPS.

This toy, part of the Masters of the Universe line, is now available for pre-order on our website. Originally a MattyCollector Exclusive, we’re pleased to offer this piece now, shipping later this month. It stands about seven inches tall and looks great. Plus, it comes with a bunch of really cool accessories fans will definitely go for.


Master of the Universe Exclusive Figures (MOTU)

June 18, 2009

All Dressed Hamburger

What kind of food goes well with Master of the Universe Action Figures? We have a pretty good selection of MOTU Exclusive Figures (from MattyCollector) and I was eating my burger thinking what kind of toy would compliment my meal.

Who is Zodac from He-Man Master of the Universe?

Zodac is a cosmic being, serving neither good nor evil. He has helped He-Man many more times than Skeletor, because so often Skeletor upsets the cosmic balance. One time, Zodac revealed the Talon Fighter to He-Man which just proves my theory. Only once has Zodac helped Skeletor. Much of the confusion regarding Zodac is based on the figure’s package, he was labeled “evil,” although his actions show that label to be inaccurate.

Yes, I feel good eating my burger with this figure by my side. It compliments the meal….it completes me!

Zodac Master of the Universe

Mer-Man Master of the Universe MOTUWe also have other Master of the Universe He-Man Figures. If I was eating Fish N Chips, I would whip out my Exclusive Mer-Man Figure. Hey this one is a no-brainer! Here is a list of some other Exclusive Master of the Universe MOTU figures that were released by MattyCollector…I will have to let you determine what type of food goes with each figure:

Masters Of The Universe Classics Action Figure Exclusive: He-Man

Masters of the Universe Action Figure: Exclusive Stratos

Masters Of The Universe Classics Action Figure Exclusive: Skeletor

Masters Of The Universe Classics Action Figure Exclusive: Beastman

What is “Masters of the Universe”?

“Masters of the Universe” (MOTU) is a cartoon based on action figures by Mattel, Inc. and was animated by the now-defunct Filmation. The syndicated show, which featured the exploits of a super-strong hero named He-Man, debuted in Sept. 1983, and throughout the course of 2 seasons, aired 130 episodes. “Masters of the Universe” also goes down in marketing history as being the first cartoon of the ’80s to be based on an action figure line after FCC deregulation. Thank God for De-Regulation!
