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:

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...

Carry Cases - MOTU, MOTU Deluxe, TMNT Deluxe

Continuing on with my Carry Case collection, I've added some more this month. First up is the Masters of the Universe Collectors Case. It was designed to hold 8 but I easily have about 20 figures inside. Definitely not enough to hold an entire collection but could easily contain one faction. I have the majority of the Heroic Warriors in this one. Makes it easier to find which figures I'm looking for when I change up displays. I love the art on these cases, they alway pick just the right art to capture your imagination and ready your brain for adventure. Now the Deluxe Masters of the Universe Carry Case is quite the upgrade, not only does it hold double the figures but the inside doubles as a playset! Amazingly cool. I have all of my Evil Warriors, Horde and Snakemen inside this one. Finally, the Deluxe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Carry Case. This one is the perfect size for TMNT collectors. It was able to hold b...

Bandai Thundercats Tower of Omens Playset

I'm resigned to the idea that I will more than likely never own a Cat's Lair playset. I was truly hoping that we would get one with Funko after seeing the DC Primal Age set but after all of the production snafus, it seems like Funko is washing their hands of the scale. I hope I'm wrong. Anyway, the original Cat's Lair is hard to get ahold of and the ones available online are hugely overpriced in my opinion. I've known about this playset from the 2011 series for a long time but now that I have the Funko figures it felt like a good time go for it. The scaling is NOT perfect at all but it does make a nice display piece. Plus, these are dirt cheap. I've seen some as low as $10. Here is the completed set. Basically a giant cat's head, gate, and tower. The set has magnetic Thunderlynx features. If you use the intended figures, the doors will open automatically on the gate and the towers Cat symbol will light up with a voice yelling, "Thundercats, Ho!...

Toy Biz Sentinel

Any X-Men fan will agree on how cool the Sentinels are. They would rank in the top 10 of any X-Men villain list, easily. And if you poll X-Men the Animated Series fans, they will tell you how great the first season was with the premiere episode, Night of the Sentinels and the season finale, The Final Decision. The entire show was sold to us on the danger of these machine menaces. For whatever reason, I was never able to ahold of one of the Sentinel figures as a kid. We were just bombarded with so much coolness growing up that it was hard to get everything out there. Luckily, my adulthood has been filled with second chances. I picked up my first Sentinel this fall from Ebay. It was in wonderful condition and I can't wait to pick up a few more. Just really cool toys. Retractable capture claw snatches Mutants and reels them in. Hitting the head reveals mutants being held captive inside the Sentinel. Poor Morph. The left fist can be launched to smas...

Custom Remco/Zoloworld style Conan the Barbarian

Conan has always been a favorite of mine. He is the end all and be all of Barbarian/Fantasy heroes. I got my start, like most, from the Arnold films but later on I would be sucked into the Savage Sword of Conan series by Marvel. I knew there was a Remco version of the figure but the price point for him has always been too high for me to toss at a single toy. Funko had planned a Conan series for their Savage World line that I was pretty excited for but that seems to have been scrapped. Recently, I remembered about the Zoloworld series of toys. I knew about Realm of the Underworld and Pirates of the Galaxseas but I decided to check to see if they had made a figure that looked close enough for me to use. They had. Using Champion as my base, and adding on a repainted Primal Age Batman cape, I finally have my Conan the Barbarian. I also gave him a Super Naturals glow in the Dark sword. I always loved this weapon so I was glad to give it to the origi...
