The 1980’s were an amazing time for children and toys; they offered a very new selection of creativity, and playthings that could stand the test of time, and the everyday wear that a child could put them through.

Masters of the Universe was probably more prominent than G.I. Joe and even the amazing Transformers. A MOTU figure could be nearly beaten on, immersed in water, and buried in the dirt and come out looking pretty.

With tough figures, a selection of vehicles for them to get around was also needed—granted, in time, the vehicles didn’t hold up too well due to …

What an interesting figure for the month of May; it is Blast Attak! Packaged as usual on the standard card.

One of the last figures in the line, Blast Attak has mixed origin stories that are made more complicated in the bio on the back.
To simplify, we will use the story from the mini comic he came with called “Revenge of the Snake Men.” So, what does this mean? It means that the snake sticker on the front is accurate! Something in MOTUC is accurate!!! The end of the world is approaching…

Blast Attak was created by King Hssss, he …

A good month for once! The subscription service from Mattycollector.com has had too many downs and who-cares and not enough WOW! Just what I wanted!

Battleground Teela also known as fur-bikini Teela or simply original DC comics Teela. That’s right Teela has a couple of plates of armor covering her breasts that apparently is removable, so all you porn monkeys out there can enjoy stripping her down and making those lame figure scenes with photo-shopped word bubbles where your He-Man figure is feeling her up or something of the like–or Evil-Lyn, maybe Adora, She-Ra anyone…it’s not about figures anymore is it….…

In 1982 Mattel offered the first Masters of the Universe play-set in the form of Castle Grayskull. Made of green molded plastic, this large home to the heroic Masters of the Universe has become an icon of 80’s culture.

Castle Grayskull has a ton of play-value which begins with the castle in the closed position, the detail for such a large piece is excellent even if it’s just brick-work in green with black shading. The “face” of the castle is formed by blackened eyes and a nose with a toothy mouth that functions as the JAW-bridge (draw bridge). In order …

Just what I need another collection! The Masters of the Universe Classic’s collection features some great detail, a vast array of accessories and some fun extras such as a profile on the character. What I miss the most is the mini comic that the figures from the 80’s would come with.

Teela has always been one of my favorite characters. She was the first female in a line of predominantly male characters–followed by Evil-Lyn and then later, The Sorceress.

The figure resembles the 80’s build with details from the 2002 line. The detail of the figure is excellent with a well …
