Masters of the Universe Mega Construx Large Update - Battle Ram, Roton, Point Dread, Skeletor Heads, Battle Armor Faker, Stinkor, Fisto, updated Grayskull Throne, etc.


A little over a year ago, I felt that I was done with collecting toys. I had a reached a point where nothing really appealed to me anymore. It just no longer brought me joy. Maybe I just needed some time away because last month I found myself being pulled back into it. Especially for the Mega Construx MOTU line. 

I had already begun the process of selling off a lot of my collection. Thankfully, I had not sold these. So, I jumped back in with both feet and made some huge Amazon/Ebay orders! Not counting a few Evil Lyn's, a Teela, unflocked Moss Man, and a Skeletor, I think I'm currently uptodate on the line.

And without any more backstory, here's the goods:

Point Dread, Talon Fighter, and Panthor






I'm in the group that prefers to keep Point Dread separate from Castle Grayskull so here is mine atop the Mystic Mountains. The mountain bases came from a Mega Bloks Pyrate set and the little rocks on the side are from one of the Skeletor Head sets. I plan on getting more of these bases to make the mountains a bit more mountainy. 




You'll notice the Cliff Climber attached to the back of the console. 
I figured this was the best place to store it... mountains and all.


I decided to move the computer console over to the side so that 
Point Dread could actually be a usable space. 


LOVE the vinyl Easter Egg.


There's SO much more room for activities!


FYI, my Zodak had VERY stiff plastic and had a tough time connecting to the waist. 
In fact, his back began to crack. Luckily, the harness covers it.





All the weapon racks so far (I've mixed and matched some weapons too).








Yes, the chickens have large talons.




I had not planned on using the Panthor helmet but mine came with an odd paint rub. Oh well, now I have an excuse to get the Flocked Panthor.

Fisto and Skeletor Head Fisto with Cliff Climber



I decided to mix and match my Fistos because the single card version had 'crazy eyes'.



I also chose to give Fisto a mace instead of his sword. 
I never really felt a guy like him would use a sword anyway. 
He's a brawler.







The Cliff Climber is pretty neat and if I were 5-12, I'd really love using it.




Point Dread also came with the Temple of Darkness Sorceress and the Cliff Climber came with another Crystal Orb. I decided to have two orbs, one at the top of Grayskull and one below. Also, my TOD Sorceress (in my head cannon) is actually a prior Sorceress of Grayskull who now goes by the name 'the Guardian'. She and the Goddess aide and advise the current Sorceress Force Ghost style.

Battle Ram






This thing is so small yet so perfectly scaled at the same time. It's hard to explain but I think a lot of it has to do with adjusting to these from Lego. Everything in Lego feels so oversized and bulky in comparison, it's crazy.













Lots of places for the homies.



This is how they rode MY Battle Ram as a kid. 
I'm glad it still looks good in this scale.



Yep, here is where Fisto's sword wound up. 



Roton and Battle Cat






I was disappointed at first when he wasn't blue but that sea green really pops.



I moved the 'face' forward a row to create more leg room in the cockpit.










Skeletor Head Trap Jaw and He-Man, Stinkor, and Battle Armor Faker













All the current Fakers. I think the SDCC one is my favorite so far. I love the neon pink.


Battle Armor Bros


All the current He-mans


All of the Skeletors that I have so far.


I hated how the Sorceress couldn't sit in her throne so I made some changes. Looks a bit more Filmation-y now. Also, I added a place for the Powersword a la the 80's movie.



All the current Heroic Warriors/Masters





All the current Evil Warriors




Honestly, we still need more Evil vehicles. I'm trying to stock up on Rotons and I gave them the Battle Bones but we definitely need some more. I'd LOVE to see the following:

Imperial Beasts Lot

When the vintage Masters of the Universe line came out, it was an out of the park, smash hit. Other companies wanted in on that MOTU cash so they produced similar toys for children to add to their collections. One of these companies was Imperial and two of their lines were Dragons, Knights, and Daggers and Robots, Lasers, and Galaxies. The box art alone were enough to tell children that He-Man would approve of these toys.

Over the years, I was left with only the seat. Trying to find it online had proved torturous as fans had discovered their value and I refused to pay $100 for a rubber elephant.  Fate turned a new page for me this week, however, as one Ebayer decided to liquidate his massive collection of Imperial beasts. I decided to g...

Custom Kang the Conqueror Toy Biz Kenner Marvel Superheroes

Kang has been my favorite super villain since I got his Secret Wars action figure as a kid. Something about that striking blue mask peeking out of the ominous purple and green has always stuck with me. Growing up, I devoured every Kang story that I could. Citizen Kang always stuck out as it finally showed a Kang victorious, albeit for a moment, hiding in between our realities.  However, I have to say that my favorite incarnation of the future warlord came from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes by Christopher Yost. I think he really nailed down the best parts of the character and gave us an arc that not only satisfied you as viewer but left you waiting for Kang's revenge.  I decided to take my Secret Wars Kang and combine him the Kenner Super Powers Lex Luthor to make a figure in scale with my Marvel Superheroes.                           Baron Strucker, Doctor Doom, and Kang Conqu...

Toy Biz DC Superheroes Flash v2, Hawkman, Two Face

I started getting back into the DC Superheroes line early last year. Even though the Kenner Super Powers line is superior in a lot of ways, this line has a nostalgic value for me. Recently, I was able to add three more figures to my collection: Hawkman, Two Face, and the second version of the Flash! Version 2 is a HUGE upgrade over Version 1. V2 Flash doesn't rely on a wind up action feature so it actually has arm articulation. Now Flash can actually do some better posing... let alone throw a punch! V2 Flash also comes with a Quicksilver/Silver Surfer-esqe platform. It even moves forward on its own if you pull it backwards.  Toy Biz vs Kenner. The Kenner figure is obviously the better choice. Just one look at his weapon and his head sculpt and that is obvious. However, there is a dumb charm to the Toy Biz figure and I'm happy to have him. I really like this Two Face figure. He has a winding feature for flipping his...
