I bought a Sword of Ages back when they were first offered last year. I wanted to talk about it here at IAT, but the swords sold out fast and I figured I'd wait until they were back in stock to show it off. That day is today: the Sword of Ages (& a few Dread Axes of Darkness) will return today at 1pm EST.
In 2010, IAT featured 33 candidates from across the toy spectrum - the return for cancelled lines, key figures missing from current lineups, properties in need of toys, characters that have never been featured in toy form, etc. Then, we asked you to vote. Here's your choice for IAT's 2010 Most Requested Figure
In the last few waves, the figures that have visible eyes are painted to be looking up while older waves had the figures looking forward. Is this a design choice by Mattel or being done at the factory? At IAT, we’d prefer they look forward.
Last night on Facebook, Mattel released official images of the Sy-Klone figure that was revealed in this month's issue of ToyFare. Like most of the recent releases, he feels like the "Classics" style is slowly being replaced by a straight up "Vintage" style. I don't know how I feel about that...
Today on Facebook, Mattel unloaded three new bios and packaged shots of three upcoming February 2011 Club Eternia figures: Bow, Battle Armor Skeletor, & the subscription figure Preternia Disguise He-Man. The figures always look good in package and the bios are the usual mix of interesting and cringeworthy...
You've probably noticed there's no King Grayskull review in our MOTU Archive. There's a simple reason for that - none of us bought it! We liked what we saw, but we just weren't interested in a new MOTU line after what had happened to MO2K. So we passed. Who knew that two years later we'd be running MOTUClassics.Com.
There's the MOTU figures you really want, there's the ones you buy only because you're a subcriber, and then, there's the ones that you just don't know what to think about. Grizzlor was in the last camp for me. The Ferocious Figure with Fur? Yeah, I had no idea how I was gonna review this guy.
