Skeletor is Here!

Well for the past couple of years I have been a dedicated toy collector of two cartoon universes of my childhood! One of them is X-men, and my first love is He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. When I was younger, I used to play with these toys and imagine myself on Eternia protecting Castle Grayskull and putting my sword up to the air! Now a days, pay bills and putting food on the table has been taken up most of my time. 

Yet as a collector of this universe, I can sometimes go back to that good feeling of my childhood, and everything just seems OK. So today I got a new figure from the Masters of the Universe Classics line, which are much more similar to the old figures of the 80's yet fully detailed and articulation. Every time a figure comes in, I get excited! So I took some photos of the experience while I was at work...



Which action figures did you play with as a kid?

@ Jersey
Ur a mean head, I just want u to know that!
I always wanted them to re-do Thundercats, I have always had a small place in my heart for them.

@ Kendal & Deonte
I was into Ninja Turtles heavy to, Power Rangers cost to much, my mother didnt see paying 10 bucks for a figure, which was A LOT at that time! But they were fully articulated and huge! The Originals will always be it for me!
