    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Cannot wait for my stupidly overpriced aftermarket Scare Glow to arrive. The packaging is bananas-level gorgeous. Does any part of him other than the head do any kind of glowage? I thought I'd heard there was some sort of black light effect or something but then I watched a couple of reviews...

    OKAY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT but uh what I was talking about was this. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Titans_Return:_The_Power_of_the_Titan_Masters

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    My original plan was to skip Masterverse, or maybe cherry-pick if they hit certain characters I can't resist, because they're so far removed from the (lower case c) "classic" aesthetic that they don't hit the nostalgia buttons like Origins does. But then I loved the show, and Kal posted...

    Those don't count either! Those aren't Titans Return fiction! Legends would be in the right neighbourhood if it was an actual thing outside of Japan.

    Titans Return Appreciation Thread

    Before TR, Transformers were a thing I unboxed, took some photos of, and dumped in a box - often without ever transforming them once. Then I got the first wave of TR. The play pattern of "you bought a dude and you got a second tiny dude and maybe a base" just worked for me so hard. For the...

    The Terminator Franchise

    I think T2 is probably the only movie I've seen, but I liked the TV show a lot. I should rewatch it now that Evil-Lyn has made me love Lena Headey even more.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Finally ordered the battle armor deluxes and they arrived this week. I'm not thrilled with the paint work on He-Man's face. It's the first real disappointment I've had from Origins, quality-wise. OTOH, the vintage head is much nicer than I expected. I'm not a fan at all of that original 80s...

    Collecting Tobots - An alternative to Transformers

    Tobots?! Korea?! They're not even 100% totally always Japanese, like Transformers are! Non-Japanese robots are trash! Oh man, stupid cool-looking toys. http://www.youngtoys.com/eng/brand/brand.do?brand=01 Let's all get into these things too. http://www.youngtoys.com/eng/brand/brand.do?brand=13...

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    I love the Teela redesign. I think everyone looks great probably, with the exception of Tri-Klops' technopope hat. Basing the wave 2 figure on MAA's original look instead of his look through the bulk of the show is a huge mistake I think,

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Oh yeah! I forgot that people were finally getting Mosquitor too. Feels like he was announced a decade ago.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Fun times in the MOTU fandom. Masterverse wave 2 (Teela, MAA, Beast Man, Spikor) and Origins wave 6 (Green Goddess, Stinkor, Webstor [string breaks easily!], LOP Beast Man) are sneaking out here and there, hopefully BBTS will start shipping them soon. Origins wave 7 listings are up - Jitsu...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe - General Thread

    Hearing a lot of good stuff about Shang-Chi which is nice. After a full year of no covid, we're locked down here in our worst outbreak so no cinemas open, but... 45 days til Disney Plus.

    Animaniacs

    Haven't watched it yet but season one has finally arrived in Australia, so I'm happy to be able to read news about the show without getting sad now.
