So here we have some Masters of the Universe (MOTU) figures. It’s He-Man (The Most Powerful Man in the Universe) and Skeletor (The Evil Lord of Destruction). Don’t they look awesome? Just like I remembered them…. He-Man (Click to enlarge) Skeletor (Click to enlarge) Masters of the Universe my ass! These guys are masters of […]
So, what do you get when you cross a gamma-radiation contaminated man with a mutagen-induced mutant turtle? You get this guy.

These lil’ fellas were my first find at the Allentown Antique Toy Show. (Click to enlarge) From what I can gather from the legal info on their feet, these toys are called Super […]
