He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

[Platypus Prime]

I decided to just get Mumm-Ra and Lion-O from the crossover as they were the two I had when I was little and I was annoyed even back then that they didn't fit well with my He-man stuff. As I noted above, my Super7 Mummy Mumm-Ra also fits great with these. One weird note, though, if you use Cartoon Man-E-Faces poorly documented head-swapping with Skel-Ra's face, you get Nightmare Fuel. I am still considering the TC He-Man as a King Grayskull sub.

Saw this on FB today and wanted to share it:

"So the 80's called. Didn't say much. Mostly just gasping in awe. Yeah, right into the phone. Creepy weirdos."

*spies a tiny Garfield figure (I think) next to the NES*

This wins.

Everything.

Been delayed quite a while, but Spotlight: Andra comes out next week and they've finally dropped the five-page preview:

Spoiler

 

[Platypus Prime]

Optimus HeMan and Scare Glow Starscream pics are out. Starscream-Glow looks like a cross between a Pretender Shell and a Necron. And unless I am mistaken, HeMan has the peg on the axe so you can cut his hand off and replace it with the same axe, which is fine for Optimus but for an organic who's not Trap Jaw, I'm not sure how this will work out...I mean, Krang worked with it, but Krang's body is supposedly an android.

Maybe it's supposed to be evocative of energy enveloping the fist?

Edit: Oh, I just saw it in the Collaborative thread. Yeah, no, that's... huh.

That Starscream works surprisingly well, but the Prime I am sad to say I am spoiled by the fan made version.

Please share a pic!

 

[The Predaking]

NVM. He just shared them, so here you go!

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I think I like the real one better.

-ZacWilliam, they're both a bit random but the real one is a little more together.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

NVM. He just shared them, so here you go!

Cheers!

 

[Caldwin]

I'm actually pretty meh about this. I would've thought they would learn from the Action Masters line, Transformers toys that don't transform...just...no!

 

[Platypus Prime]

They have plenty of Transformers that don't transform on the market now, from little $2 toys to thousand-buck statues and everything in between. This is more 'we took your 80's franchises and taught them to cosplay each other'.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Yeah, non-Transforming toys have been a thing, and apparently a viable one, for decades now.

People just didn't like it when it was the main and only line of toys.

 

[Rhinox]

I'd love to see a reverse crossover with transforming He-Man vehicles. The shark tank, the buzzsaw vehicle, those would be great.
Changing the subject slightly, I found Battle Catman at my local walmart. Debating taking him out of the packaging. He looks good though.

 

[Platypus Prime]

A friend suggested Battle Catman is a really awesome take on what could happen if Snarf channeled the Power of Grayskull.

Early 2000s nostalgia has entered the chat! After Armada got some love in Transformers, we’re seeing the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon get some attention in the Origins segment. Mattel revealed most of the line at SDCC, but here’s in package shots of the first wave (He-Man, Stratos, TriKlops)

And according to Toy Habits, a Walmart listing has cropped up for a Deluxe Samurai He-Man release. Contrary to the original 80s line, the 2002 cartoon DID feature a number of the deluxe figures in the cartoon proper, with Samurai variants appearing in conjunction with SyKlone’s first appearance, with the reinterpreted Battle Armor appearing later on.

I love samurai and ninja versions of other things, like Musha Gundam, etc. However, the original samurai MOTU figures were ugly things that looked nothing like samurai to me.
