It’s that time of year again, it’s the top ten toys, but not just anyone’s, it is MY top ten toys. The list consists of what I got this year regardless of its release date. Number 1 was a tough decision, but I think I chose wisely.

So, let’s begin!

10. HE-MAN—the selection of He-Man seems to take number 10 every year for me, I guess there really wasn’t anything that stood out to the point of dragging one of the individual figures to the top five. However, this selection featuring Blade from the movie, Extendar and even the ‘Unnamed …

The Masters of the Universe Classic releases are far from over as we have one more figure to look at from last month, and that is Galactic Protector She-Ra! As part of the Club Etheria mini subscription, Mattel issued out a newly designed She-Ra figure for the first time in a very long time. However, all is not what it seems. Let’s check things out!

Here we have She-Ra, released for the New Adventures faction of He-Man. Fans had been teased about a She-Ra variant for some time, though most fans had speculated that the variant would be a Starburst She-Ra …

It’s been awhile, but the time to look at the November Masters of the Universe Classics releases is at hand! It’s been a jam packed few weeks with the holidays and my shipment arriving at the tail end of the month, but I have looked at everything and taken some notes on the releases for November. I have a lot to say, so let’s jump right in!

There were two items released for the regular subscription in November, a beast and a basic figure.

Tung Lashor was the figure for November and he strikes a slithery fear in the hearts of …

October was full of tricks and treats for Masters of the Universe Classics fans. Actually, I’m not really sure of the tricks, so let’s just check out the treats. For the basic Club Eternia sub, fans got Eldor the Heroic Guardian of the Book of Living Spells. Let’s look!

A character from the Preternia faction of MOTUC, Eldor is just as his name implies; an old man. That’s the beauty of the MOTU mythos. Most of the character’s names really describe certain attributes. Eldor comes with his Book of Living Spells and a staff. For this review Eldor will be kept …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The month of April may have started out for the fools, but the month can only end with the hack ‘n slash style of the evil master of swords: Blade! Not the vampire Blade from Marvel comics, but the very cool Blade from the Masters of the Universe Classics line! He was the only release for the Club Eternia subscription this month so without wasting any more time, let’s check out the first MOTUC release from the 1987 Masters of the Universe motion picture.

Blade comes standard on a regular MOTUC card that we have seen for many years now with …

March is nearly over but we are far from finished discussing the releases from the Masters of the Universe Classics line by Mattel. March will go down as one controversial month for the fabled MOTUC line with the release of a New Adventures character in figure form and the unveiling of the mysterious figure: the Unnamed One! Well… at least we got a cool map? Read on for the look at these two figures!

Hydron

Originally released in the New Adventures of He-Man toy line, Hydron is the third Galactic Protector released for the MOTUC line (this includes NA He-Man.) He …
