Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

Cutting some extra range into She-Ra's biceps was pretty easy. At least she gets 90 degree now. Any less than that and the elbow joint might as well not exist. You can rotate it but it looks stupid. Still, she's growing on me. I like her. Next step is painting her upper torso a color that more-closely matches her face. And getting the paint ALL the way into the cleavage, it's like they got scared of her being too sexy and left a couple mm in pearl color.
 
I just got Kobra Khan and KLUT. First, Kobra Khan is one of the best-looking figures in the Masterverse line. And that's really saying something seeing how many great looking figures are in this line. But Kobra Khan really stands out. The colors, the details, the sculpt. He is pretty much a perfect looking figure.

Now, the KLUT. Keep Looking Up Teela to the uninitiated. Some Teela's are not, I repeat NOT looking up. But my Teela is the SUPREME KLUT! This girl is looking up to the point she might be looking behind her. Her damn pupils are her eyebrows. The sky is safe when my Teela is around because KLUT Keeps looking up. Forever!

The figure looks great. The body, the armor, the paint. And her face sculpt in person is honestly pretty damn good. Angry Scarlet Johansson really was a good way of describing her. But my figures pupils are at the top and looking straight into the sky. Luckily, when her Snake armor is on you really can't tell. But the eyes are so bad I will never display her without the snake armor.

And I do wish the snake armor didn't just sit on her but somehow attached so it was secure.

Teela a 3.5 out of 5, Kobra Khan a 5 out of 5.

I already had Hordak, and he was a 5 out of 5 too.

I don't mean to laugh but 😂. All other KLUTs now have a Supreme KLUT to look up to. All hail Super Camel's KLUT Supreme.
 
Ar least with Mattel it was $10 and not $50... but then again Mattel doesn't eat tje shipping costs. Since Mattel single drops each figure that free shipping would add up to real savings in a hurry.

100%.
Pulse Premium asks you for 50 bucks but, in both the US and Canada (which is wild), that's -unlimited- free shipping on orders.
Mattel wants 10 dollars just for the privilege of shopping with them.

Both offer the 'benefit' of early access to exclusives, but I want to stress that's just manufactured rarity to bolster subscribers and is not actually of any value because it's a thing that only exists SO the subscription model can exist.
 
Yeah, both memberships are kind of a scam, but if you buy a few orders a year, the free shipping pays for itself. Grayskull is wildly cheaper, but hte real benefit is like a running head start on a couple of figures you might miss out on anyway. I think I signed up for it specifically for Panthor? I think that was the "if i miss this I will RAAAAGE" figure that I was willing to pay for a head start on ordering, and it didn't even turn out to be necessary. (I might be misremembering that.)

I have appreciated the head start on Hasbro a couple of times a year, but to be fair, my wallet might appreciate me NOT getting a few things I want overall.
 
The 'headstart' thing legitimately pisses me off. It's pay-to-play. Toy collecting is already quickly becoming a hobby for the well-off ONLY, and they're exacerbating that by saying 'also, for no other reason than to sell subscriptions, you might not even be able to buy this from us unless you buy the subscription first.' Just adding layers of expenditure to an already expensive hobby? Fuck off. Hasbro, at least, had the decency to add some actual value to the idea, even if it's still fucking scumbag shit on its face. Mattel didn't even try to hide what sleazy cunts they are.

Um......What about the exclusive access to Hero?

Hello??? That is well worth the $10 Club Grayskull membership. I mean only Club Grayskull members can get him and I'm sure that will NEVER change as Mattel sits on stacks of Hero figures for the next 5 years........... :ROFLMAO:

I can't wait for the day they have to admit that Club Grayskull isn't worth even $10 by putting Hero out to everyone to order. Then that last tiny vestige of the lie that Club Grayskull is worth anything will finally fall away.

Yeah, that actually makes me so mad. I want Hero, but not for the cost of a single figure plus shipping PLUS ten USD. Typical Mattel psychotic levels of greed. And yeah, as I said above, it's totally manufactured rarity to sell the subscription. There's no REASON for Hero to be exclusive to the 'club' except that they want you to give them ten dollars. It's fucking gross.
