If you were expecting the Crimson Avenger article I promised last week... well, I got distracted.* We don't normally do Masters of the Universe in this column, cause well, there's two options when it comes to MOTU stuff. Either I'm going to be asking for something sooner rather than later (Kronis getting two arms is more about absorbing Man-E-Faces' cost, right?) or I'm going to be silly and go for a lost cause (like the Wind Raider Pilot). But today's featured figure might straddle that line. He's one of those characters like Ram-Man or King Hiss that's going to require a lot of tooling on Mattel's part. That makes him definitely later rather than sooner and possibly a lost cause if things go awry.
When I was a kid, my grandparents would take me to flea markets on a regular basis. I would happily run around looking for the stray action figure while they looked at whatever it is grown-ups look for (I never figured that out, I'm still looking for those stray toys at flea markets). Now, there was one flea market that usually delivered more than the others. I remember getting Ghostbusters, Gobots, Joes, M.A.S.K., and even Super Powers figures there. I picked up Cyclotron and my first Golden Pharaoh for $1 each one time. When I was nine, I found a He-Man figure I'd never seen before. He was a skeleton, so I assumed he was some version of Skeletor. I didn't know there was a cape and a halberd missing. I didn't care though, he was made of glow-in-the-dark plastic and I thought that was the coolest thing (still do). He quickly became one of my favorites.
