Hello everyone. So as anyone who reads my blogs or watches my videos should know by now, I am a massively huge super gigantic fan of Masters of the Universe. As a kid I had almost all of them, including several of the rare ones - The Sorceress, Scare Glow, the Eternia Towers, the works. So it came to great surprise to me to find Mattel released updated versions of the original toys. The cool thing about MOTU Classics is that the line also included characters from She-Ra Princess of Power, as well as the New Adventures of He-Man, which is where Slush Head is from.
So anyway, I got into this line a little late in the game, which means I now get to buy all of these at super inflated collectors prices. So I've made it a point to not go crazy buying every single one of these, instead focusing only on key characters that I really want.
Which brings us to Slush Head. I was already getting a bit too old for toys when New Adventures came out (or so I thought...) I do remember the show and I thought it was pretty good, but by this point I was already in middle school and wasn't playing with toys anymore, so I'm looking at these characters with unbiased eyes. The figure itself looks good and has great detail. We lose articulation at the head and waist, but all the other standard points are there. One thing I'm disappointed with is the metal tentacles, which are not bendable and attach in a flimsy way. It would have been much better to have these be of the rubber "bendie" type with a wire inside.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this figure, it looks great on the shelf and fits in with the other classics figures well. Expect to see more of these reviews as I build up a large collection of these.
Hello everyone. For this video we're taking a look at Series #2 of the Thundercats Savage World figures, featuring Tygra, Monkian, Jackalman, and Cheetara (which is the one everyone wanted.) Included are some comparisons with the series 1 figures. I'm happy to say they turned out really well, and look great on the shelf next to my MOTU toys.
For those who have been keeping up, we've gotten the following in the line, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Thundercats Series #1 and #2, Horror Figures, as well as the tangentially related Son of Zorn and DC comics "Primal Age" lines. There was also supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian line which looks to be cancelled, which probably happened when Marvel bought back the Conan rights.
Sadly this looks like the end of the "Savage World" line for the time being, there doesn't look to be anything new happening for the rest of 2020, which is really sad considering there's at least another 30 or so Thundercats characters alone they could do (not to mention the other franchises.) Here's hoping that the line gets resurrected next year, I would love to see more of these one day.
So I got this one for Christmas and I've been hanging onto it until I had time to make an unboxing video. The main reason I wanted this one is for the Hulk, which is done is the style of Sal Buscema, who was the artist on the Hulk for over a decade (and still the best imo.) The head sculpt is spot on. There haven't been very many comic accurate figures of the Hulk recently, most of them are patterned after the movies. Which is great and everything, but they look like Mark Ruffalo. I don't want Mark Ruffalo on my shelf, I want the Hulk.
Anyway, this set is already starting to go up in price, so grab it while you can.
