New Looks At The Netflix He-Man And The Masters of the Universe Basic Figures From Mattel

So far I only need Skelly and He-Man because the other designs weren't great onscreen and look even worse here.

 

Today’s deliveries, Shadow Panther and Spidey from Pulse and Metroid from Nintendo.

 

Trying to work out if I need that Spidey figure, I have the ML Iron Spidey and Advanced Suit and that doesnt look too different from the Advanced Suit...or is that the same as the earlier figure just with a Holland sculpt?

 

@Siege Fan,
I do like decent graphics and there's some amazing things possible now but gameplay should always come first.

As one of the pioneers of open world games it's about time Rockstar pulled their fingers out and did something other than find new ways to resell old games and make a new GTA that's a proper progression of the series rather than the same old with a bigger map & shinier graphics.

 

I don’t have the earlier release (mainly collect the comic figures) but looking at google - this new one has the Holland head and a webline

 

Yup. Leicester Old And Vintage, round the back of Highcross shopping centre. I didn't check the prices or condition, but they looked alright at a glance.

However they do tend to put items, especially G1, at the upper end of their value, so be warned. I remember being genuinely speechless when told that the misb gold box Optimus Prime was priced at £700...

 

Yay MP10G. Nice heft to him, the Ghostbusters extras are great, the Slimer looks so much better painted.

 

All you need now is Ghost MP Starscream!  

 

That's a lovely display. Just out of... curiosity... Which Starscream is that?

And they warned me about enablement, and I thought I could handle it  

 

Its MP3-G, ghost version of the original MP ‘Screamer.

(And you can never outrun enablement, like Iron Maiden, it’s gonna get ya wherever you are!  )

 

Argh. No. Temptation strikes again.
And I'm also now thinking that a clear plastic Devastator would make a good colour match with Slimer & the ectoplasm/gunk on MP10g

 

Needs more zombie Starscream!

Yeah, I buy from Joe and Ricky semi-regularly so they tend to look after me. I've always found with them that the price might be on the upper end of the scale, but they KNOW the product and its always mint and complete and worth the price.

MISB Gold Optimus sell for £1k plus somehow these days. Mental I know but their price is fine. It's one of those items that you can slab and send to the US and it gets snapped up.

 

Busy busy day. Knackered. But in a good way.

Still shit to be doing, but I'm feeling the need for something horror-y for this evening. Recommendations from the hive mind?

@Siege Fan I hear 70% of the time sex panther works every time. Tis the Mutant mask that's making me consider this lad.

 

Scanning the front row of my horror Blu Ray unit:

Hereditary, Fright Night, The Fog, Exorcist, Insidious, Evil Dead [2013], Phantasm II, Frankenhooker, Midsommar

*edited Phantasm to Phantasm II,

 

18,630 backers, what are the chances we get the shield and Micromasters? I think at this point if we don’t I’ll be a bit miffed.

 

Thanks to Shabaz's alacrity, experiments proceeded. Sadly peacock green had no effect on Paleotrex II, as I was hoping to do him in a Castle Greyskull homage deco BUT the brown dipping I gave Ractonite worked in mere SECONDS to give him this gorgeous museum piece patina (also a suitably warmer tone for a Maximal good guy)...


So I did it to the pernicious Paleotrex too, and it also worked on him!

I did want to do him as a moss-covered skeleton with an overall "Green Knight" theme which I may still do with some paint apps, thinking about re-naming him Vertrex in a pun that's also a nod to our surreal scientist superposter.  

And MASKromastering begins with a baby step...

Rhino what I'm doing!

 

Good work as usual!   Enormously flattered to share a pun with a skeleton dinosaur moss-man, seasonally appropriate too!  

Today I ventured forth from Yonderville, suburb of the City on the Cold Shore, and as if by accident have returned home with Beasts. Reissue Beasts to be precise. Tickled with them overall, especially Cheetor (who made me laugh out loud) and nifty-new-colours Megs; minor reservations about Primal due to mold flash and the irritations intrinsic to the mold but I’ve been after one in his original deco for a while, and Rattrap is more fun than I anticipated (and has the best grrrrrrimace in pet-mode).    

 

After leaving Cyberverse Sludge and Snarl in the basket on Amazon I finally pulled the trigger and ordered them.
Really hope I can get the Swoop, Slug and Grimlock to go with them.
Hopefully going to the wrestling tomorrow to catch Will Osprey and the Revolution Pro Wrestling roster.

 

Ectotron doesn't fit in the trailer but looks good coming out of it. Will try transforming it tomorrow.
