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 Marvel Superheroes The Thing

Christmas time this year saw some great additions to my Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes collection. This time in the form of the Thing. The Human Torch was one of the first MSH's I owned as a kid. Six years ago, I was able to add Mr. Fantastic. This past year, I added the Invisible Woman but now the collection is complete! Ol' Blue Eyes If you can't smash the Yancy Street gang, might as well clobber their sign. The family is finally together! You don't want to be on the other side of this fight. Size comparison of my current heavy hitters.

Custom Kenner Super Powers/Toy Biz DC Superheroes Nuclear Man (Superman IV)

I'm an unashamed fan of Superman IV. It probably goes back to the fact that it used to air on TBS all the time when I was kid. It might also be because I'm a fan of bad movies in general (Masters of the Universe, Flash Gordon, Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat, I'm looking at you). With all that in mind, I've always wanted a Nuclear Man action figure. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want the guy who slammed Supes feet first into the moon?! As a collector of the Toy Biz DC Superheroes line, I noticed that it is decidedly empty on the Superman side when it comes to baddies. Earlier this year, I was able to pick up a custom Cyborg Superman. Well, now I am happy to say that thanks to  37 Customs  I have added Nuclear Man to my Legion of Doom! "Do you know what this means, Uncle Lex? We're parents!" - Lenny Luthor Between the Kryptonite and Nuclear man, Lex is secure in his position atop the Legion of Doom. Twice the dange...

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...

Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Spider-man Attack Tower

My Christmas Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes haul continued with the Spider-Man Attack Tower, thanks to my brothers. I was able to get the Marvel Superheroes Training Center back in 2019 and it was something I never thought I would ever own. The same goes with this set. These were things I used to salivate over on the back of my action figure cards while growing up. Especially with the short life span this line had. Obviously, the whole set is a gimmick-filled toy made to destroy your Spider-Man's joints but it is still pretty cool. I look forward to using it as a display piece in the future. Preparing to launch over the hurdle. The height is adjustable in case your Spider-Man doesn't break and craves more thrills. Spidey's got a spot to practice his web shooting. You can also practice his web slinging as he goes after the Doom training dummies.  These stickers are amazing quality. Seriously, check out the definition h...

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...
