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 …

The Masters of the Universe Classics Club Etheria Subscription got tangled up last month as what was supposed to be an article about Entrapta for September now gets the royal October treatment! One of the figures that fans had long speculated about was the tricky golden beauty called Entrapta. Now at long last the speculation of how she will look can end. Let’s check out the new figure!

Entrapta fits nicely into a regular carded MOTUC bubble. The hair does not pose any problems with being in package. I do like the way she is posed in the bubble. There is …

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 …

We are a day into September and already I am behind. However, where I live, the heat is so bad it still feels like August. So we shall simply pretend that this review takes place in August and all is still right with the world. The Club Etheria mini-subscription from the popular Masters of the Universe Classics line released a controversial character in August: Madame Razz and her trusty Broom. Let’s check her out!

Packed on the usual card and bubble as other basic MOTUC figures; Madame Razz is anything but basic. One can see already that the sculpt is entirely …

The Vintage Toy of the Month is long overdue for the month of August. This is partly because I was not sure exactly which lovely toy from yesteryear to feature but the other reason was that I felt compelled to do something different. I wanted to actually talk about vintage toys. Why do I collect them? What is it about vintage toys that speak to certain people, yet baffle so many others? Most adults can fondly recall a toy they played with as a kid, but there is a special something for certain adults that seek out that old toy and …

It’s time to look at an all new Masters of the Universe Classics figure: Double Mischief, or rather, Double Trouble as I will forever call her. July marks the beginning of the Club Etheria subscription for MOTUC, a mini-sub that honors the 30th Anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power! There are some amazing figures lined up for this mini-sub, so let’s check out the first one!

Double Trouble comes packed on the same card as all the other MOTUC releases. That lovely familiar POP sticker greets us and I love it. Never in a million years will I ever grow tired …

Are you ready for a Vintage Toy of the Month that will whip you into a double dose of trouble? Let’s read on for a look at one of the original She-Ra: Princess of Power action dolls- Double Trouble!

With Double Trouble getting the Masters of the Universe Classics treatment this month (and a name change to boot) I thought it would make perfect sense to take a gander at the original Double Trouble. This action doll has a special place in my heart and in the story of She-Ra.

Released as part of the first wave of She-Ra action dolls …

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 …

Ready for an all new Vintage Toy of the Month? I know it has been awhile since our last outing into the world of all that is good and vintage, but this latest vintage toy should more than make up for that. If you’ve been following the toy chatter around here than you have probably looked over the recent article about the all new Modulok that came out from the Masters of the Universe Classics Line. Well, thanks to the kind and gracious Paladin (NERDSociety’s editor-in-chief) I was sent a really cool vintage Modulok from the Masters of the Universe toy …

A look at the February Masters of the Universe Classics releases continues with this second part featuring the rebel princess of Bright Moon: Glimmer! This long awaited release has been a special treat for fans so sit back and enjoy this look at the one and only guide who lights the way!

Packed on a standard card, Glimmer comes with the Princess of Power logo sticker across the bubble. Her coloring is bright and filled with all the whimsy from Etheria and the Whispering Woods.

Turned around, the back of the card shows off some other POP releases including Man-At-Arms. I …
