Probably the most long awaited character in the MOTU Classics line, Stinkor features a ton of accessories and even a scented body. Embedded with patchouli as the original figure was, Stinkor can clear a room keeping He-Man and his warriors at bay…Apparently, even Skeletor and his group doesn’t want to be around him either.

Donning the orange armor that he shares with Mekaneck, Stinkor also has his blue shield and the recolor of Mer-Man’s head. If original Stinkor isn’t your thing, he comes with everything you’ll need to turn him into 200X Stinkor.

Including an alternate head, a blue gas mask, …

I was recently given a self published novel to review. “The Gypsy’s Book,” written by, Clarissa Simmens is for the teen and teen girl genre, however so is “Twilight” and many males seem to love that. Now I’m not comparing this story to the sparkling vampires, but what I am saying is that “The Gypsy’s Book” is a very good read that keeps ones interest and is fun, enjoyable and really true to life.
At times an emotional read, “The Gypsy’s Book” is about four friends searching for lost members of their family, all the …

The movie we’ve all been waiting for is here, The Avengers! This movie has been planned since the release of Iron Man in 2008. Director Joss Whedon has created a cinematic masterpiece that will rival Nolan’s Batman films. Each of the Avengers had entire movies solely dedicated to their origins, that’s the first big plus of The Avengers.  This allows Whedon to completely focus on the main plot and the interaction between the characters. Many fans were worried that too many characters appear in the movie and some wouldn’t get their due.  This is not the case as every character gets …

This month offers what the real fans of MOTU have been waiting too long for, it’s Thunder Punch He-Man! A quarterly variant and not the figure for April. The Matty morons screwed up on the entire years line and release dates, so because of the situation Thunder Punch He-Man will now be the April figure regardless of what Mattel’s ringers and the dweebs that think they are the ultimate fans of the line say.

One of the coolest figures from the early/mid 80’s, the original figure could have a ring of caps loaded into his backpack and when the figure was …

The first story arc for the second volume of Batman and Robin is complete, is it any good?

Synopsis

Damian is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul.  Batman’s untimely death at the hands of Darkseid prevented us from seeing how the father & son team would play off each other.

I’m probably the LAST person to rate something related to Iron Man, I’m not big on most of what Marvel does, however I am an old school fan of Anime and so I looked at it through the eyes of an Anime fan and man, I was very impressed.

Written by Marvel’s Warren Ellis and re-written from that story by the writers at Madhouse in Japan, the Iron Man Anime takes the viewer into a later stage of Tony Stark’s career. Tony travels to Japan with nothing but peace in mind after years of manufacturing and selling weapons. In order to …

Kobra Khan.

Kobra Khan, the single figure for March in the Club Eternia subscription service. The white mailer box features “Valley of Gnarl” at the bottom which is apparently to keep trademarks—its not a game after all, how disappointing.

Featuring a great sculpt with all elements being part of the body without any extra armor, Kobra Khan looks very close to the original minus the water squirt action feature. Kobra Khan has multiple points of articulation including the newer rocker ankles, this Evil Master of Snakes can be posed to the collector’s imagination.

Kobra Khan includes a few accessories such as …

February brings Masters of the Universe Classics fans the best installment to date!

Starting with Shadow Weaver the 2012 Club Eternia Exclusive figure.  This is the very first Shadow Weaver ever created in figure form that is officially from Mattel.  Shadow Weaver is the Hordes evil witch who serves Hordak but assists Skeletor in an episode of the She-Ra cartoon.  Having a lesser amount of articulation to keep the form of Shadow Weaver’s outfit, this figure is still detailed to satisfaction for fans.  The arms and head have the usual articulation with the base of the figure being open and showing …

I’ve played chess for fun since I was a kid and I enjoy it if I win or lose. The fun for me is in the game itself. I’ve been looking for a very special chess set for years and there are a lot out there–many have caught my eye, but none like the Clamp No Kiseki chess set.

As many Anime and Manga fans know, Clamp is a group of four women who created some of the best Anime for multiple generations. Some of the titles include XXXholic (pronounced holic), X/1999, Chobits, Angelic Layer, Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa–just to name …
