A whole New Year is upon us and before the 2014 Masters of the Universe Classics subscription kicks in, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a 2013 release: Sea Hawk! This heroic Etherian Pirate has long been on many a fan’s wish lists, and in 2013 Mattel made those wishes come true. Released as the special subscriber only figure from the Filmation mini sub, Sea Hawk somehow made it over to my well manicured hands. (Thank you eBay.) Let’s look!

Before we get into the fun details of the figure, I thought it would be important …

The year is coming to a close and so it’s finally time for MY very own top ten toys for the year 2013. Release date is not important, but what is important is that I acquired it this year.

Although I’ve been spending most of my time writing my K-ON! Fan fiction, I’ve still been collecting toys on the side, however there were some financial troubles and some items I thought I’d be getting fell through—but, what can you do. I’ve also decided to do it in themes or groupings, that way I can feature more than just simply 10 pieces.…

Back in 2009 Cricket had reviewed my M.A.S.K. collection as a vintage toy. My photos were sub-par and I wasn’t even a writer on the NERDSociety.com website.

See link:  http://www.nerdsociety.com/vintage-toy-of-the-week-mask/

Now in 2013, the last Vintage Toy of the Month for December, I will reprise M.A.S.K., my favorite playthings from when I was a kid!

M.A.S.K. or Mobile Armored Strike Kommand was a toy and cartoon series in the early to mid 80’s that included a short lived comic and mini comics that came in most boxes.

There are multiple stories for MASK, the cartoon had the leader, Matt Trakker as …

It has been awhile, hasn’t it? There have been a good number of Masters of the Universe Classics released in the last few months, but I have been unable to review them. There is a reason for that, one that I will get into soon. Before I do, I thought it would be nice to take a look at the October MOTUC release: Mantenna!

I want to start with showing what was printed on the white mailer box: instructions for creating Mantenna’s eye effect. The way in which the Four Horsemen designed Mantenna was pure genius.

I’ve always been a fan …

Around the 15th of every month brings with it a new look at something old. Let us celebrate an all new Vintage Toy of the Month! Back in the 90’s, nothing could really hold a candle to the success of Toy Biz. They dominated toy shelves with their cool sculpts (for the times) of everyone’s favorite Marvel super heroes. I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the figures they made of some of my favorite female super heroes from the X-Men. Now this will be a bare bones look at just the figures themselves, …

Paladin here, taking over for Miss M for this months Vintage Toy—yeah I sold her out…just kidding…

Anyhow, with Sailor Moon making a revival; Usagi and friends need a little…oh…wait…Well, I guess Serena and friends…::sigh::…

All right, so in the U.S. about 20 years ago we were cheated—uh—treated—to the Magical Girl Anime, Sailor Moon which consisted of five teenage girls who were actually princesses of the planets and moon of the Earth. These girls had the job of protecting humanity all the while, going to school, hanging out and growing up.

Although Go Lion (Voltron) was probably one of the most …

September seems to have come and went in terms of the Masters of the Universe Classics line sold on Mattycollector.com. There was no regular figure release for the main subscription, but the mini Filmation sub was in full effect with the release of Batros: Evil Master of Theft!

Now I know this will be a short look at Batros as I am not going to be opening him, but if you read through to the very end, there may just be some exciting extra little things to check out. Let’s take a look at Batros.

Batros comes on the same single …

In the calm of a regular September night, Miss M finds herself restless unable to sleep.

The Masters of the Universe Classics Filmation mini-sub enters its second month with the release of Shokoti! August was certainly the month for magical women on Mattycollector, and Shokoti can easily be checked off the list of long demanded figures to be made.

In fact, this marks the first time that Shokoti has ever been made in figure form. So what are we waiting for? Let’s look!

Like all the regular carded figures before her, Shokoti comes carded on the standard MOTUC bubble. She is described as the Evil Witch of Eternia. The pose that she is sporting in package is …

As the hot summer days wind down to the fall, Nerd Society is looking at the last hot Masters of the Universe Classics releases for August. First up we are going to be looking at the Enchantress who hypnotizes: Castaspella! For years fans have been asking for her, and Mattel finally fulfilled many fan’s dreams.

I have talked about Castaspella before on NS. She has appeared as a Vintage Toy of the Month awhile back, so to have the chance to look over her new release is a real treat. Also, there will be a side by side view from the …
