Skeletor Masters of the Universe Origins Unboxing and Review

 

Hello folks! Today we're taking a look at Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe Origins line. These are remakes of the classic He-Man toys from the 80's. They are kind of the best things ever. I really like the styling and articulation. They look almost like something off the shelf from Toys R Us in 1985, but with modern articulation. The only thing I could possibly have a problem with this figure is to say it would've been great if they made it so the mouth could open and close. Besides that this figure is perfect.

Horror Madballs Series 2 Unboxing & Review

Hello folks! Today we're taking a look at series 2 Horror Madballs from Kid Robot. Included is Pinhead, Pennywise, Chucky, and The Fiend (from the Misfits.) Madballs are my favorite retro toy to collect second only to Masters of the Universe. I know there's a series of Horror Madballs Keychains coming from Kid Robot as a follow up to these, which will also include characters such as Gizmo, Spike (from Gremlins,) Tiffany from Bride of Chucky, and some others. Here's hoping they include these guys in proper Madball form for series 3.

Zoloworld Legends of Darkness Vampire and Death Unboxing and Review

Hello everyone! This week we're looking at the Vampire and Death 5.5 MOTU style action figures, from Zoloworld's "Legends of Darkness" line. These are modern mass produced figures for the adult collector made in a vintage style, as homages to Remco's classic lines such as Warrior Beasts. These in particular are homages to the obscure "Speclatron" line which nowadays go for thousands of dollars.

When I say that I'm not kidding. Go to Ebay and look up "Speclatron" and you'll see the ridiculous prices the vintage figures sell for. These are a much more affordable alternative, and are worth owning in their own right.

Toxic Crusaders "Ultimate Toxie" Figure from Super 7 Unboxing and Review

Hello folks. Today we're checking out Toxie, from Super 7's Ultimates line. These figures are made with the same basic body and articulation that Masters of the Universe Classics had, and fit right in with them on the shelf. The Toxic Avenger is my number one favorite  movie of all time, so happy to get a high quality figure of him.
I've actually met Lloyd Kaufman (the director of the Toxic Avenger) a couple of times at different comic conventions, he is the coolest guy ever. About ten years ago I saw him at the San Diego Comic con and managed to strike up a conversation. When I mentioned that I was an aspiring comic creator he immediately offered to let me use the Toxic Avenger in my webcomic. This guy who has a multi-million dollar property immediately offers to help out a virtual unknown, simply because he wants to encourage fans to create. Suffice to say I haven't taken him up on the offer (mainly because I never really came up with a story I think would be worthy of the character.) Maybe one of these days if my comic ever gets a following and I write something good enough I'll approach Troma with a formal proposal. Nevertheless, I thought the gesture was supremely cool, and it firmly lodged Mr.Kaufman as one of my lifelong idols.
Anyway, the figure is based on the Toxic Crusaders version of the character. Like all Super 7 Ultimates it uses the MOTU classics body type and articulation. Sometimes Super 7 has quality control issues with these figures, happy to say my particular example didn't have any problems, with the possible exception of semi-loose feeling bicep joints, but it was nothing that would be an issue. I'm very happy with this figure, here's hoping they make more of the Toxic Avenger/Crusaders figures. How about a figure of Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD?

Sonic Drive-In Madballs "Monster Squirters" Fast Food Premium Unboxing and Review

At the end of 2019 Sonic Restaurants released a series of Madballs as fast food premiums for their kids meals. Included are versions of Dust Brain, Screaming Meemie, Occulus Orbus, and an exclusive called Cherry Limeaid. Madballs are probably my second favorite toy to collect (behind Masters of the Universe) so I had to get them all. 
They're pretty cool as Madballs go, slightly smaller than the retail toys. The cool thing is they are new sculpts based on the original design, and look to be more detailed. The exclusive character Cherry Limeaid is based on Sonic's signature drink apparently, while it's always great to get more Madball characters it would've been nice to get more than one.
Overall I usually don't really collect fast food kids toy premiums like this, but for Madballs I'll make an exception. I got this whole set pretty cheap on Ebay so this isn't worth a lot of money (yet) but I can see Cherry Limeaid going up in value. 

Troll Force "Machine Man" MOTU Knock-Off Unboxing and Restoration

Hello folks! So I got my mitts on a "Machine Man" figure from the Troll Force action figure line (we looked at the "Green Yuk" and "Black Ninja" from this line in a previous video.) Troll Force was a knock-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Specifically, it uses parts from a different knock-off line called "Galaxy Warriors," (so this is a knock-off of a knock-off.) So we'll do an unboxing and a little bit of restoration on this one as the hair is completely shot. I'm not really too much into collecting knock-off/bootleg figures like this, but they can be pretty cool sometimes.
