MOTU Classics Modulok

Finally got my MOTU Classics in off a seller on ebay. The cheapest price I could find was about $60, and I just didnt want to miss out on it, so made the order. And I'm glad I did! This is every bit as fun as Mantenna, and both are my favs in the MOTU collection!

The box art is really nice, and a great unique package for this larger package. Unfortunately Mattel decided to glue the sides down so one side had to be cut open to remove the contents. Not sure why they didnt just allow the lid to be slid together like their mailer boxes!!

Oh well, I might glue it down and put the box art on display. It's nice, and goes well with my NECA TMNT box art :)

The figure comes disassembled with all the various components on show. This is pretty nice in that it gives you a bit of time to look over each piece and play around with them all before putting it all together.

And together with his Horde brethren, they look pretty amazing!!! I realised after that I should've used the double joint connections to give him 4 arms, but forgot with this pic. Either way, they look great as a motley crew of creatures coming to get you! :)

It's definitely a great figure in the MOTU Classics lineup, and one that I've wanted since I saw the prototype pictures! I never had the chance to own him as a kid, and so am really happy to have him in my collection now in this new reincarnation :)

MOTU Classics Beast Man and Ram Man

Hey all, just received the MOTU Classics Beast Man and Ram Man figures this week. I got them for ridiculous prices, but had to have them in the collection!

Here's the quick video review I just uploaded to the Kool Kollectibles youtube channel. Hope you can check it out and subscribe if you like what you see :)

Masters of the Universe Classics!!!

Well, after sitting on the fence about this line for about 2 years, I finally caved and made my first order of the Masters of the Universe Classics figures. And once I got them, I realised how stupid I had been for 2 years waiting this long!!! My mission was to get as many of the key characters from the very first episode of MOTU, and so I picked up He-Man, Battle Cat, Man-At-Arms, Skeletor, Mer-Man, Trap Jaw, and Evil-Lyn. I also ended up getting my other favourites Hordak and She-Ra.

But then you might ask, so where is Beast Man, Tri-Klops, Teela, and Sorceress? You know how I said I waited 2 years. Well, these 4 are some of the rarer MOTUC figures, and are now commanding some ridiculous prices on ebay. Teela and Sorceress are topping $150 dollars now at recent auctions I've watched, and Beast Man just today ended at auction on $142!! And that's not including shipping!!! So for 7" figures, these prices are pretty crazy. The figures I got were all in the range of $30 - $40, so much more reasonable. The four I mentioned are certainly gaping holes in the collection, so I'll definitely try to get at least Teela, Beast Man, and Tr-Klops somehow at semi reasonable prices. Will just have to see how I go. But onto the figures I did get, and WOW!!! These figures are AWESOME!! I totally get why Hasbro is now branching the Star Wars figure line into the 6-7" realm, and if they end up anything as good as these MOTUC figures, many fans will be well pleased!!!

When I got the NECA Street Fighter 4 figures and the recent Playmates TMNT Classic Collection figures, I thought they were amazing with all the articulation. And these MOTUC figures are every bit as good. They all come super-articulated, and are mostly stacked with accessories! Some like Trap Jaw, Mer-Man, and Man-at-Arms came with alternate headsculpts, all have their assortment of weapons, and the overall quality is top-notch!

When displayed together, these figures simply look amazing. From the great paint apps to Battle Cat, Man-at-Arms, Hordak, and Mer-Man, to the way in which He-Man can now do his iconic pose, to the amazing staffs and other weapon accessories, these figures just bring back so many great memories of watching the 80s cartoon as a kid. I do have to say the way in which they package these figures tends to bend the accessories a little, and it is hard to get them to straighten out, but other than that and the odd minor paint blemish, I can't recommend these figures enough!

So like me, if you've been sitting on the fence about these figures, JUMP OFF NOW!!! Get online and buy before the prices of all of them start going crazy. Right now, only a handful are commanding silly prices, but unfortunately for me, most are the ones I want! Either way, definitely check them out if you were ever a fan of the cartoon or the original figures, cos they really are great. Here's a quick rundown of the figures on my youtube channel too!

Thanks for reading and watching! Hope you can all check out the Facebook page and the youtube channel too! Talk soon! :)
