The SDCC seems to always have the best collectibles and this color changing Orko which was only available at the convention is no less than the best!

Orko was the kind of character that was hard to dislike, his funny voice played by actor/producer Lou Scheimer made us all laugh. The way he would always cause Man-At-Arms to yell “ORKO!!!!” When he would foul up a magic trick by dumping eggs on his head or causing careless damage to the palace was hilarious! And then there were the good aspects of Orko. He was able to help his friends when needed …

Vikor is a new creation in figure form and has only existed on paper as one of the original concept designs for the iconic character He-Man.

Vikor resembles…Well, a Viking, complete with helmet, tattered loin-cloth and “fur” cape. This concept art reject also comes equipped with spiked shield, battle axe and a sword which is sheathed in a great position–sideways along his lower back. The final detail’s of the figure are wrist manacles with real metal “broken” chains attached.…

She-Ra, the Princess of Power was created off the popularity of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

In 1985 Prince Adam found out that he had a twin sister named Adora whom was captured as an infant by Hordak and Skeletor. Adora was raised by Hordak and some mind control courtesy of Shadow Weaver; she became a high ranking soldier in Hordak’s army of oppressors.
In the animated movie “The Secret of the Sword” Prince Adam takes a portal to the world of Etheria and after some adventure he finds Adora and gives her a Power Sword that matches his …

In 1985 a favorite stinky figure was released for Masters of the Universe. Stinkor whose plastic was molded with patchouli oil stunk up homes all over the world.

Created by recoloring Mer-Man, Stinkor was given the paint scheme of black with white stripes giving him the appearance of a skunk. Recolored armor from Mechaneck gave Stinkor a cool breathing apparatus so he didn’t stink himself out.

Having one of the coolest and very memorable weapons, Stinkor came with a bright blue shield which was a repaint of the battle worn piece that came with the Castle Grayskull weapons rack.

This find …

Originally issued at a convention in 3 different variations, King Grayskull returned to shelves for a little more than a day on Mattycollector.com.

The figures offered at the convention were a standard full color King with the He-Man accessories of a shield, ax and sword. He also included a cape and was packaged in a Castle Grayskull box. The variants were one in translucent blue, the ghost version and a bronze statue version. I always prefer the standard full color and detail over the odd variants.

The new figure in Classic’s packaging includes a shield, a orb of power, a flocked …

Mattycollector.com’s featured figure of the month of November is Grizzlor! The ferocious figure with fur is back with actual brown fur over a highly detailed and articulated body.

Grizzlor comes complete with an arsenal of weapons not offered with the figure before. Including his classic Horde body armor and a new tribal-like loin cloth; Grizzlor also includes an array of weapons. The standard Horde crossbow is just the beginning, this furry bastard comes with a machete, sword and ax. His weapons can then be mounted to the back of his armor to keep it all together.

The figure I received was …

At first look Zodac might come off as boring to some people. He comes with armor and a gun and that’s about it. However, I find that the value of the figure is in the details.

Zodac has the body parts, including the hands and feet of a villain such as Skeletor–with fins on his wrists and lower arms and three pointy toes on his feet. It’s the body itself that has such great detail though, Zodac has hair or fur and it’s well detailed throughout his upper body. Basic, I know, but it’s cool nonetheless. Zodac’s head is quite disguised …

New from Mattel is Roboto the mechanical soldier of good and the heroic answer to Trap Jaw.
“Mister” Roboto was one of the most popular figures from the 80’s due to his clear upper body with working gears inside and the ability to change weapons on his arm. These weapons include a gun, axe, claw or pincer and new for this figure is a matching hand!

Roboto comes in just about the same colors as his 80’s counterpart except there is a lot more detail. As with most of the new Masters of the Universe figures the articulation is great and …
