     Since Castle Grayskullman was released in November of 2012, character creator Daniel Benedict has went full out in promoting his exceptional addition to the MOTU mythos by creating Castle Graykullman.com, a website where you can watch some hilarious vintage styled commercials for the character and now download for FREE the first part of an exceptionally cool mini-comic.  The mini-comic fits in well with the Masters of the Universe Classics canon that has been established through the bios on the backs of the card backs and in the three mini comics released last year with Thunder Punch He-Man, Snake Man-at-Arms, and Dragon Blaster Skeletor.  The art (pencils done by Daniel himself) really harkens back to the look of the earliest vintage mini-comics while style reflecting the style and tone of the MOTUC action figures. Man-E-Thanks to Daniel and the great team he assembled for continuing to add to the rich tapestry of mythology that makes Masters of the Universe so special! 

      If you're unfamiliar with this character here's what you need to know: last year was the 30th anniversary of Masters of the Universe, the popular action figure and entertainment property from Mattel.. To help celebrate the anniversary, Mattel decided to release the 30th Anniversary Line, a subscription line of 6 (mostly new) action figures that were intended to celebrate the property's past and future.  While half of the figures were created by Mattel creators and the Four Horsemen themselves, one of the remaining figures was selected through a character creation contest.  The winner was MOTU fan Daniel Benedict whose "Castle Grayskullman" was not only my favorite figure of the 30th Anniversary line, but also my 2nd favorite MOTUC figure of last year.  A golem like creature of sorts, Castle Grayskullman is the living embodiment of his namesake Castle Grayskull, the ancient fortress of mystery and power that was such an iconic play set for children of the 80's.  For further details about the history behind Castle Grayskullman and the Masters of the Universe Create a Character Contest,check out Castle Grayskullman.com

Action Figure Review: Castle Grayskull from Masters of the Universe Classics by Mattel

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
