I don't really want to get lost in the "X-Men '97 is now woke" drama because they're not really my thing, but if you're gonna be angry about Gambit wearing an in-style half-shirt in a show representative of the 90s, then your whole commentary sucks.

Comic Fans: "I wish creators would stick to established canon!"
Creators: "Here's the canonical reference points we used."
Comics Fans: "No...not THAT canon!"
Happy Birthday our beloved Skeletor!
This man is the voice of a generation. So many wonderful memories connected with this voice.
My favorites are:
- Skeletor
- Mighty Mouse
- Battlecat
- Falcor
- Merman
- King Grayskull
- Moss Man
And too many others to name.
I want:
- He-Man throwing boulders.
- Skeletor cackling like a maniac.
- A He-Man/Teela romance subplot.
- Magic, sci-fi, & cool sword fights
- Battlecat
- Orko
We don't want it on Earth. That idea is like a mullet. We should have learned our lesson and left it in the '80s.
It's Tuesday! Let's make it a

I want to show off my MOTU collection. Feel free to join in with your own collections!
But first! A quick word from my *sponsors
*It's a joke, I'm not sponsored. I just **shill for Mattel and Netflix... that's different.
**Also a joke.
I'm tired of the vintage style He-Man headsculpt. The ToG Casey Jones headsculpt is fantastic, so what's keeping Mattel from giving He-Man a glow-up? I'm planning on grabbing an extra Casey just so I can customize this smirking face for He-Man.
"The MOTU brand is dead."
Meanwhile:
- New toys
- Toy collabs
- Tie-in comics for the "irrelevant" Netflix series (released today)
- Turtles of Grayskull comics
- Archon Studios board game
- Toy profits for 2023
Don't trust the words of grumpy doom and gloom types.

36 years ago, the Masters of the Universe film was released. I was 5 years old, & I remember watching it at our town's drive-in theater. Karg scared me to tears 😅. It's a cheesy movie that still makes me grin like an idiot when I watch it.
Here's some concept art to enjoy!
#motu
Apparently, there's an entire episode of He-Man fighting Skeletor after this scene???
I must've blacked out. I'm Re-watching now to confirm... I'll update y'all accordingly.
"The MOTU brand is dead!"
- Former brand manager from 10 years ago
- other poorly informed outlets
Meanwhile:
- Toys on retail shelves
- Significant growth/profits reported
- New comics
- Live-action movie in production (but we'll believe that when it happens, so minus 1 point)
My Masterverse Favorites of the new reveals!
In order:
- Revolution Snake Sorceress Teela 😍😍😍
- Skeletor and Bone Throne
- New Eternia Battle Armor Skeletor
- New Eternia Sy-Klone
Who's your favorite?!
I just reached 50 followers! I know it's a small amount but it makes me smile that at least 50 people out there like some of the things I do! To celebrate...here's the current setup of some of my MotU collection.

One of my favorite things about the vintage April O'Neil toy is that she's a sassy news reporter with a surprise pistol stashed in her news camera.
"This is April O'Neil with Channel 6 News... so anyway, I started blasting."

I love 'em all!
- Skeletor looks incredible with some great "ooze green" color accents.
- Teela is as gorgeous as ever in her Shredder-inspired gear.
- Casey Jones has a fantastic headsculpt and is a walking Weapons Rack.
- Mikey is doing his best He-Man impression.
This is a moment I will cherish for the rest of my days! As a lifetime MOTU fan, I actually got to watch MOTU Revolution early! It's a dream come true.
Now, after a day, frought with tooth pain (damn root canal), my spoiler-free review is currently uploading! Stay tuned!
This NECA MotU Classic Colors He-Man is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. I was in college, newly married, and working as a laundromat repairman. I saved any spare change that I could in a bottle until I had enough money to buy this guy. ⚔️

He-Man: "Eternia! I have a very important announcement: I don't want to be your king, figure it out for yourselves. I'm going to live in the spooky skull castle with my hot magic girlfriend and we're going to go on adventures together. Good luck."
Me: "Respect, bro... respect."
It's been 1 year, 10 months since I first saw this guy in the clearance section at my local Walmart. He's still there.
I'm invested in him, and I want to see somebody take him home.

Revolution... AND she's married to Adam/He-Man VA Chris Wood IRL!
(I've been sitting on this news for a while!) 😊
It's happening! He-Man & Teela as an official romantic couple onscreen 🥰😍
I did it! I gave the new Turtles of Grayskull Casey Jones headsculpt a fresh He-Man haircut. Now He-Man has a charming grin to win over that stubborn redhead he likes.
Woah...100 followers! 🤯🤯
I never expected to have this many people liking the things I share from my collection. You guys are awesome. Thank you! Here's a look at part of my Masterverse collection.

Weapon storage on my action figures is very important to me. I'm often disappointed by the lack of weapon carry options, so I end up making my own. Here are a few examples.
Am I the weird one, or are there other toy folks out there who think the same?
Since many of you asked, here's a closer look at the effects pieces I used:
- Mythic Legions Magic effects
- Tamashii Nations Wind effect
- TN Lightning Effect
* I can't remember where I got the rocks/blue lightning base...
He-Man and Teela riding together is a classic example of MotU history. The calm intimacy between the two warriors hints at their eventual future together as a loving couple.
Here's my photo recreation of the iconic

It's fun to joke about Prince Adam not being recognized as He-Man despite their identical appearances, but did you know that there is a canonical explanation as to why people, particularly Teela, are unable to recognize Adam as He-Man?
Read on to learn more!
Me: "He-Man and Teela are finally recognized as an official couple! Maybe

, I will be doing a new drawing for this brand new Masterverse New Eternia Man-At-Arms (loose figure for comparison. He comes with 2 headsculpts and 2 mace display options.
If you follow me, your name is in! Drawing next week.
It's the 1 year anniversary of MotU: Revelation's release. Part 1 took bold risks setting up the story/Part 2 landed the setup. I loved it. It pushed the MotU storyline forward in ways I've waited decades to see. Thanks
@ThatKevinSmith
and team for a wonderful & heartfelt series.
The Eternia playset is even bigger than the Super7 Classics Snake Mountain?!
I'm feeling some FOMO for not getting it... but I also have no space for it. I guess I made the right decision? Still a bit bummed, though.
It looks very cool!
The Masterverse Revolution Battle Armor He-Man is easily my favorite Masterverse He-Man. The headsculpt is a huge improvement, the buck is great, the battle axe is perfect, and the armor has a beautiful metallic shine to it that works way better than the earlier NE BA He-Man.
My friend, Maria (see my Fan Creations YouTube episode) found this 1987 Mexican TV guide that features He-Man's team-up with Latino pop star Yuri to save the day.
What a fantastic find full of 80s glory!

In 1987, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley decreed April 28 as Masters of the Universe Day! The day was created in recognition of the POWER TOUR live stage show that premiered in LA at the time. Since then, the day has been celebrated by He-Man and She-Ra fans ever since.

Imagine being so pathetic that you have to mock someone's emotional reaction to a film in order to feel good about yourself.
I'm currently playing God of War Ragnarök and I've been on the verge of tears multiple times...and it's a game about killing gods..
Don't lose your heart!
Remember that time when some people got really mad about Revelation because it temporarily killed He-Man, & Teela did some stuff to fulfill her decades old plot points?
Anyway, here's a comic where they permanently kill lots of He-Men, Teela is a cannibal, & Keldor is the hero.
I guess it's official!

New covers for the upcoming Masterverse comic series look amazing! And we finally get an idea of what New Eternia Teela looks like. She seems to be based on her early DC Comics appearance.
- Teela dual wielding the Staff of Zoar and the Staff of Ka.
- Final forms of He-Man and Skeletor (Skeletor is absolutely rocking his 200x toy "Disco" repaint colors)
I scored a 200x series Castle Grayskull at a local yard sale! The electronic interactive features of this thing are so cool!

fans out there? I don't collect the new line, but I remember having a bunch of the vintage ones. Here's me circa 1989 with a pair of Superman figures (one was mine and the other was my brother's).
"Eternia's Finest"
He-Man, Teela, and Man-At-Arms represent the trinity of Heroic Warriors and are as important to
#mastersoftheuniverse
as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are to DC. They are the heavy hitters, the best of the best, the mightiest warriors.
@MastersOfficial
How about a few blasts from the past? This art comes from Emiliano Santalucia during his time as an artist for the 200x comics from MVCreations helped by Val Staples!
It's always fun to see Adam and Teela together.
Since this dude is based on the Eternia Playset Viper Tower, I really hope this means we'll get more figures based on playsets:
- Castle Grayskull-Man
- Snake Mountain-Man
- Lion Tower-Man
- Slime Pit-Man
- Fright Zone-Man
- Crystal Palace-Lady
(My names are creative 😂)
