    Thundercats and Masters of the Universe get a crossover

    This is how the public relations announcement spins it:

    The collaboration of two iconic 80s brands, Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats, yields an action figure of the Ever-Living Evil of Eternia, Skell-Ra! This toy crosses over Skeletor of MOTU with Mumm-Ra of ThunderCats. He comes with 2 swappable heads, a reversible purple / red cape, and swappable harness and skirt armor pieces, so he can evolve from Skell-Ra into Mumm-Ra. The Sword of Plun-darr completes the double-edged picture. $29.99

    You can also go to this website to get a full accounting of the initial figures and their appearances.

    There have been Ninja Turtles crossovers with He-Man.. and now this .. each time the price goes up a bit, but Thundercats fans have felt cheated.

    Will this bring out the midlife crisis and them next 2?

    Judging by how the Masters line has been releasd, this will be coming to a store near you — or maybe won’t.

    They are playing on the nostalgia.. Folks, kids won’t buy this. People ages 40 through 50 will. I should know I’ve been buying He-Man feeling like a kid again when I do.

    A creative shift and necessary change in the sub-genre..

    All eyes on the box office–Rotten Tomatoes is showcasing largely positive reviews.

    AP interviews Soderergh..: To a certain degree, the audience is a weather system. Luckily because of the way I began, I’m the cockroach of this industry. I can survive any version of it.
