For awhile now, DC has been releasing a series of digital comic shorts (via Comixology) for the Masters of the Universe. Each digital comic dedicates a brief story to a particular character in the MOTU mythos. Very recently, a new digital short (8th in the series) was devoted to the most powerful woman in the universe: She-Ra.

With that little intro out of the way, let’s go continue on to the review!…

You might be thinking why am I not drooling over Superman Earth One Volume Two at this very moment, the reason is that I stumbled upon a little Image comic called Bedlam that just came out today (and its already out of print) and just wow….. This first issue is just amazing on so many levels.

The first issue that costs 3.50$ will offer you 50 pages of just pure psychological torment and will give you insight into the mind of one of the best comic book villains of all time!

After being on the market for a few months, the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures seem to be selling well. Made by Playmates, these figures have very nice cartoon detail and a ton of articulation considering that in the past, the figures had minimal, standard articulation.

Starting with the Turtles, each figure is packaged in a great card and bubble with CG cartoon artwork and a turtle shell imprinted pattern on the bubble. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael look great on the cards for those who collect mint on card.

The back of the packages feature more CG cartoon …

The Weapons Pak is carded with multiple, individual bubbles and includes a great assortment of deadly toys for the battleground in the form of swords, shields, clubs, staffs and even …

October was a good month for the Masters of the Universe Classics line of collectible action figures. Featuring characters that are really cool and FINALLY a female Princess of Power figure that isn’t She-Ra or Adora!

In this thirty years of MOTU I am joined by Miss M for the review of Frosta because not only is it fitting for the number one She-Ra fan to present the new addition, but next year she will be taking over review duties for the 2013 Club Eternia subscription—but who knows, I might pop in to talk about a figure or two.

Here …
