The Masters of the Universe Classics Club Etheria Subscription got tangled up last month as what was supposed to be an article about Entrapta for September now gets the royal October treatment! One of the figures that fans had long speculated about was the tricky golden beauty called Entrapta. Now at long last the speculation of how she will look can end. Let’s check out the new figure!

Entrapta fits nicely into a regular carded MOTUC bubble. The hair does not pose any problems with being in package. I do like the way she is posed in the bubble. There is …

How is everyone doing on this fine October day? Well, I am here to make it an even better day by looking at some toys! Most notably the September Masters of the Universe Classics releases. September was good to MOTUC fans that were hankering for a space cowboy and a certain unbe-weave-able Horde villain. (More on her later on.) So let’s get this article started with a look at Rio Blast the Heroic Transforming Gunslinger!

Rio Blast comes on the standard MOTUC card. He fills the bubble nicely and he has a nice look to him in package. Very menacing Western …

Discussing the August releases from Masters of the Universe Classics in September continues with two looks at very different figures. The New Adventures of He-Man and Princess of Power both got plenty of representation for the month of August. For NA He-Man, fans got to rest their hands (finally) on NA Skeletor. Let’s check him out first.

The usual spiel goes on and on, he comes on the regular card. He actually fills the card up rather well. This is a bulky Skeletor. Mattel even managed to throw in an extra surprise, which will be discussed in a bit. The Space …

We are a day into September and already I am behind. However, where I live, the heat is so bad it still feels like August. So we shall simply pretend that this review takes place in August and all is still right with the world. The Club Etheria mini-subscription from the popular Masters of the Universe Classics line released a controversial character in August: Madame Razz and her trusty Broom. Let’s check her out!

Packed on the usual card and bubble as other basic MOTUC figures; Madame Razz is anything but basic. One can see already that the sculpt is entirely …

The Vintage Toy of the Month is long overdue for the month of August. This is partly because I was not sure exactly which lovely toy from yesteryear to feature but the other reason was that I felt compelled to do something different. I wanted to actually talk about vintage toys. Why do I collect them? What is it about vintage toys that speak to certain people, yet baffle so many others? Most adults can fondly recall a toy they played with as a kid, but there is a special something for certain adults that seek out that old toy and …

It’s time to look at an all new Masters of the Universe Classics figure: Double Mischief, or rather, Double Trouble as I will forever call her. July marks the beginning of the Club Etheria subscription for MOTUC, a mini-sub that honors the 30th Anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power! There are some amazing figures lined up for this mini-sub, so let’s check out the first one!

Double Trouble comes packed on the same card as all the other MOTUC releases. That lovely familiar POP sticker greets us and I love it. Never in a million years will I ever grow tired …

With 2015 being dubbed the final year of Masters of the Universe Classics line as we know it, the rest of 2014 seems to have a different feel to it. I have been collecting the MOTUC line since its debut about six years ago. A great deal has happened during those six years and so far many of the releases this current year have been fantastic. Take for example the New Adventures of He-Man faction. This has been a part of the line that has grown on me, so let’s look at the basic figure release for July: Flogg.

I will …

Are you ready for a Vintage Toy of the Month that will whip you into a double dose of trouble? Let’s read on for a look at one of the original She-Ra: Princess of Power action dolls- Double Trouble!

With Double Trouble getting the Masters of the Universe Classics treatment this month (and a name change to boot) I thought it would make perfect sense to take a gander at the original Double Trouble. This action doll has a special place in my heart and in the story of She-Ra.

Released as part of the first wave of She-Ra action dolls …

It’s time for an all new Vintage Toy of the Month! This month features a special look at a toy line that I wanted to share because it was inspired by the recent Tekken MZ fanfic by NERDSociety’s own editor-in-chief, Paladin! He has been crafting a really great fanfic. I’m playing catch up, and am half way through Part 1 and it is very entertaining. He knows his stuff on these characters. So with all the love for Tekken right now, it only made sense that the Vintage Toy of the Month would do the same.

So let’s look at the …

Masters of the Universe Classics showed no signs of stopping with the double feature for May. A standard figure and beast sized figure were released for subscribers and day of sales. Both releases were new to collectors who have long dreamt of owning Battle Lion (King Grayskull’s Battle Cat) and Scorpia (another great Horde villainess.) Neither items have been made before and while there was the typical reuse of parts, there are plenty of new sculpt pieces that make this a month of some magnificent MOTUC collecting. Let’s look!

Battle Lion comes boxed in the usual packaging for a large cat-sized …
