  • The take our money sketchbook series

    The take our money sketchbook series

    Some might say the Mattel toy company is digging into the archives just to give us what we want. Others might overwhelmingly say, “Enough with the side series—how much more money do you want to take from us?!”

    Hordak and Grizzlor from the Masters of the Universe realm are getting their own two-figure release. They don’t resemble the cartoon or the original action figure versions from the 1980s. Instead, they represent the concept art sketches of what they looked like prior to the creation of the action figures or the eventual hit series.

    It’s a lot. Many fans are still frustrated that the original Origins re-release never really concluded. Then came the cartoon-style representations of the action figures. And now, in the midst of all this, we’re getting a potential new side story featuring sketchbook-inspired figures.

    Don’t get me wrong—if I see them in the wild, I’ll probably pick them up. I might even order them online when they’re available. But it’s becoming overwhelming.

    Ok… when can we buy??

    For the honor of Greyskull! He-Man and the nostalgia of the Thanksgiving day parade

    It is that time again.. Turkeys, the trimmings.. the parades. And Al Roker.

    While time takes advantage of our good nature and nostalgia can be harmful, let’s just be nostalgic and go back in time. Some may consider 1986 the best of times…others the worst. But for He-Man Masters of the Universe fans, it the ultimate of times..

    Thanks to the fine folks at the Dinosaur Dracula page, we can go back in time.

    Showcased by this 1986 Macy’s parade moment: He-Man fighting SQUEEEZE…..

    Here is a great video of Pat Sajak attempting to explain modern day pop culture during the Reagan era..

    Yes.. we decided. Things were simpler…..

  • ‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie Dead at Netflix

    ‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie Dead at Netflix

    Really.. are you shocked ?

    “Masters of the Universe,” a live-action movie based on He-Man and a slew of other popular Mattel toys, is officially dead at Netflix, according to multiple Variety sources.

    Insiders said that close to $30 million has already been spent on development costs and the cash that’s been shelled out to hold on to talent – like previously announced lead Kyle Allen and the film’s heatseeking directing duo Adam and Aaron Nee (“The Lost City”). Other knowledgable sources estimate all-in costs for development at twice that figure

    OURS IS NOT…

    We have relied on purchasing, hunting, and buying from stores. Walmart and Target.. it went well at first until around wave 5.. things fell apart. Stratos and Leach have been peg-warming my 100 square mile radius for months. We have not broken down yet and started going the online route.

    But maybe it is time.

  • He-Man back to Netflix November 23

    He-Man back to Netflix November 23

    It is unknown if Kevin Smith’s He-Man Revelation series will get a second season, but the second half to the first season premieres November 23rd 2021..

    For better or worse…

    The first five episodes were somewhat controversial among fans—both new and old. A number of people felt that the Kevin Smith re imagining took the series far distant from where the 1980s show started..

    But in fairness he wanted to do that.. 

    There were rumors and accusations that Kevin Smith was “woke“ in the series, some thing he vehemently denied in a number of videos on his own social media accounts…

    The main beef that anyone appeared to have was how He-Man was pushed aside during the first five episodes.

    The toy line for Revelations doesn’t seem to be doing so hot when compared to the new for 2020 and 2021 toys of the original He-Man toy line..

    Previews indicate that the next several episodes to conclude season one will bring he-man back in some heroic battle. At least that’s what the trailers would make it appear, we will know for sure within hours when Netflix drops the final five…

  • New wave 6 He-Man characters released

    New wave 6 He-Man characters released

    The most exciting appears to be Webstor.. and the one and only Stinkor.

    And just like the 80s, he’ll have a real smell too.

    No word on how bad good or indifferent.

    But in this new age, if you Stinkor stops smells it’s time to get a Covid test!

  • Will Adam get woke?

    Will Adam get woke?

    ….the first episode may be a throwback nostalgia filled gasp-worthy event. Kevin Smith undoubtedly will homage the fans from the 1980s who keep the spirit of Eternia alive.

    But what if the show goes woke?

    Will Tea-La secure a girlfriend?
    Will He-Man’s toxic masculinity cause him to rage?
    Will Skeletor be nice on Christmas like during the 80s holiday special?

    We are being told that the characters in the new Netflix cartoons premiering July 23 will face certain crises and as they unfold, adult dialogue will greet our favorite action figures from the cartoon..

    Clownfish is among the YouTube channels lamenting the chances that the new cartoon will go all in on modern virtue signaling, and forget the fans who grew up watching cartoon..

    Their video here for your enjoyment:

    Could they be right!

    But there could also be a certain amount of hype about this possibility. Cartoons modernize.. they change with times.

    We will keep our minds open that this show may be exactly what we hoped for. Or at least enough of what we hoped for that the modern changes can get a pass.

    We hope!
