These Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) Orko and Prince Adam action figures from Mattel are my toy hauls from the Sunday toy market at China Square Central today!  They are still MOC and I shall blog more about them once I removed them from their joint packaging, perhaps sometime this week.  Happy toys collecting!

Happy viewing!

Following yesterday’s posting of the same topic, here’s my Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) She-Ra action figure out of package:

“For the honor of Grayskull!”

“I am She-Raaaa!!”

The Princess of Power……

……and the leader of the Great Rebellion!

The above photos show She-Ra wearing her Filmation style crown, that is molded to her face.  This is what many She-Ra fans will remember her as, from watching the 80’s She-Ra cartoon series produced by Filmation for Mattel.

Here are some more shots of her in my toy photo studio:

The same action figure comes with another head.  This is She-Ra wearing her classic shimmering mask, as depicted in the 80’s comics and story books.

The mask can be worn the other way around her face as well.  The gold battle axe design is a special homage to the classic comb that came with the 80’s She-Ra dolls.  The same for the gold shield with the jewel design.

One final look at the Princess of Power herself.  She’s so gorgeous, both in her classic and Filmation style heads!  No regrets from me in getting her!  She will be strongly contending for my annual ““My Most Favourite Toy of the Year” award for 2010.  The results will be known at the end of December 2010.  Till then, happy toys collecting!

Yay, the 2010 Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) toyline She-Ra action figure has joined my collection at last!  I picked her up from one of the many MOTUC toy sellers in China Square Central (CSC) today and here she is, the Princess of Power herself!

She-Ra’s currently still in package and I plan to keep her that way for a while before deciding to have her break out of it some day.  Meanwhile if you are keen to see the detailed sculpting, articulation, features and accessories of this figure, her toy review is available online now:

“For the honor of Grayskull! …….I am She-Raaaa!!”

Despite the functional and sculpting flaws of this figure, I can live with them, after all She-Ra fans like me have waited for more than 20 years for a Filmation style She-Ra action figure!  When I do pop in the Filmation style head (the second one seen at the bottom of the package), I’ll probably just leave that head on her permanantly.  I’m so happy today, hurray!

Note: If the video doesn’t load, just click on it to link to its source webpage on YouTube.  I’ll fix the issue asap.

If you collect Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) toyline, you would probably like to display your MOTUC figures using action figure stands made specially for them!  They all come in a set of 5 stands and 10 pegs.  I’m sure the stands will also fit the future She-Ra Princess of Power Classics (POPC) toyline that Mattel is planning for next year.

The figure stands are from Mattel as well and they take the shape of famous Ethernian Castle Grayskull brick floors and mini brick walls!  The stands have pegs with adjustable positions and the stands can be connected to one another too.   

The main issue as pointed out by the reviewer is that the stands take up some space and allow only limited number of MOTUC figures to be displayed on the same shelf.  But then most of the time, a slightly spaced out action figures display is more aesthetic to look at. 

Hope you like this toy display tip.  Happy MOTUC toys collecting!

While surfing YouTube, I bookmarked a couple of interesting video reviews of custom plastic display cases made for the popular 80’s Masters of the Universe (MOTU) figures.  The display cases can also fit in the sister toyline of MOTU - the Princess of Power (POP) dolls, as these are smaller than the MOTU figures.  

If you collect the more recent “re-issued” Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) figures, you’ll be pleased to note that there are also custom display cases made to store and display them!  You can remove your MOTUC toys from their packaging to play and display, and then store them in an aesthetic manner, almost like they are still mint-on-card (MOC)!

Hope you like this toy storage tip.  Happy MOTU and MOTUC toys collecting!
