Wow! This is my third review of a She-Ra figure in just a little over a week. That's great! Right now, thanks to Mattel's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power line there are quite a few different She-Ra dolls on the market. Factor in Super7's "no holds barred" release schedule for the Masters of the Universe line this year and we've received as many or more She-Ra figures this year than MOTUC released during the line's entire run! Today I'm checking out the ReAction She-Ra, a figure that was originally available in a 2-pack at SDCC 2018 with Hordak. I never had that set, though, so She-Ra is all new to me! Let's check her out after the break...

Action Figure Review: Shadow Weaver from Masters of the Universe ReAction by Super7
For years fans of Filmation's She-Ra: Princess of Power lamented the fact that there had never been any action figure released of Shadow Weaver, the evil Horde Sorceress who was a mainstay in the cartoon. In 2012 Mattel finally released a Shadow Weaver action figure in the Masters of the Universe classics line (she was the yearly subscription figure) but since then there hasn't been another Shadow Weaver released... until now! Thanks to both Super7 and Mattel, we're about to be hit with Shadow Weaver figures. Mattel released Shadow Weaver in their She-Ra and the Princesses of Power line as an SDCC 2019 exclusive (alongside She-Ra) while Super7 has Club Grayskull and vintage styled Shadow Weaver figures scheduled for release within the next few months. 2019 is apparently a very, very good year for Shadow Weaver! Super7's ReAction Shadow Weaver gives us a taste of what a vintage Shadow Weaver might looked like (although in a different scale and style). Let's check out Shadow Weaver after the break...

Action Figure Review: Modulok A from Masters of the Universe ReAction by Super7
Wow! It's been almost a month since I reviewed Super7's Modulok B! I've just been busy and reviewing lots of stuff, so it's taking me a while to take a look at all of these. Want to know something else crazy? Now Super7 has a Modulok D out! It was first offered at PowerCon 2019 but is now available online, too. Is there a Modulok C? Who knows? Today I'm checking out Modulok A, though, which is the closest figure to the standard Filmation look for Modulok. He's really the same figure as Modulok B, just with a different head, so this is going to be one of my lazy reviews where I just cover the new stuff. Sound good? Then join me after the break...

Action Figure Review: She-Ra from She-Ra and the Princessess of Power by Mattel
At the end of last week I reviewed the deluxe Battle Armor She-Ra and Swift Wind set from Mattel's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power line and today I'm reviewing the standard She-Ra figure. I've actually had these figures for a few weeks but I had to wait until after my daughter's birthday to pull them out. She got a set for her birthday (along with the sword and shield set), and guess what? I have a set of my own! Yeah, these totally are not my favorite Masters of the Universe figures of all time but, really, I'm just excited to see something Masters of the Universe related at mainstream retail in its own toyline. Like with the vintage She-Ra toyline, these dolls feel like a blend of the Netflix cartoon designs with a more traditional, doll influence. Like those vintage toys, they also utilize a mixture of plastic armored bits and fabric clothing to create a toy that's a mixture between an action figure and a fashion doll. I'm curious how fans overall will feel about these: Fans of the show may not like that the dolls have a very different visual style from the animation of the series, though folks who don't like the animation style may be able to appreciate some of the redesigns as they are rendered differently here. Let's take a look at She-Ra, who will always be the Princess of Power, after the break...

Action Figure Review: Wild Card from Fortnite: Legendary Series by Jazwares
Today I'm checking out another cool figure from Jazwares' 6 inch scaled Fortnite: Legendary Series toyline and this time it's Wild Card. Wild Card is an outfit from Fortnite that has four distinctive looks depending on the face-plate chosen. Rather than offer up for separate figures with different heads, Jazwares actually included all four face masks as separate, swappable accessories. If you want a full gang you can purchase four copies of the figure but if you just want to display them one at a time, you'll only need one! Interestingly, this guy was released in Fortnite last September. Wait... this guy has been out less than a year and Fortnite managed to get an action figure out of him? That's pretty impressive! Either they're working closely with Epic Games on the license to get out figures of upcoming characters or Jazwares can put action figures of new characters out faster than Hasbro and Mattel, especially considering the figure has been out for a couple of months now. Let's check out the very cool Wild Card after the break...

Overwatch Ultmates: Soldier 76 (Golden)- Review Coming Soon!
I just received the Soldier 76 (Golden) from Hasbro's Overwatch Ultimates in the mail yesterday and wanted to show him off a bit. A review will be coming at some point soon, but for now just check out some cool pictures.
Action Figure Review: Battle Armor She-Ra & Swift Wind from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power by Mattel
Oh my gosh! I'm reviewing an honest to goodness new Masters of the Universe toy from Mattel! Yeah, it's from the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power line based on the Netflix series, but still: It's a Mattel branded MOTU toy! It's kind of been awhile since that has happened (with the exception of Mega Construx) but it seems like it's going to be a thing going forward as Mattel seems to once again be banking on He-Man and She-Ra as having powerful potential at retail, on Netflix, and at the move theaters. The most exciting thing about the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power line to me isn't the having the toys for myself, however: It's that I was able to give this entire line to my daughter for her birthday! My daughter is a huge MOTU fan and, as a 6 year old girl, this line is right up her alley. Her middle name is Adora and while I bought her a few MOTUC figures even before she was born, these are the first MOTU toys that are for her first and foremost. Of course, yeah, I bought a set of most of them too, so these are mine to review. I just had to hold off on getting mine out to review until after the little one's birthday. First up I'm reviewing the largest set from the new dolls which is the Battle Armor She-Ra and Swift Wind two pack. Let's check this one out after the break...
