Got my first MOTUC toy in today: Battleground Teela. The good news? The toy itself is great, very nice sculpt. The head's a bit loose, but not that severe. Other than that, she's amazing; no major problems.

The bad news? The gun barrel on her blaster is bent. Not to mention, the toy itself has some weird smell, like it was in an old, damp warehouse for too long. Hopefully some sunshine and air will help get rid of the odor.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I never had the pleasure of enjoying the Masters of the Universe franchise. Sure, there was the "New Adventures of He-Man" line, but even back then I wasn't interested. The 2002 MOTU cartoon was what introduced me to the franchise, and I enjoyed every episode of this show, especially the characters because they had their own unique personality and gimmick. It's a shame it only lasted 39 episodes, because I would have loved for the show to continue. Though to be fair, Cartoon Network, being the meddling execs they are, screwed the show over.

Then a couple of weeks ago, I decided to look at some old He-Man toy commercials on YouTube. I have to say, I can see why you guys love these toys so much. Almost makes me wish I was born a decade earlier.

Almost. But for what it's worth, I'm definitely considering building up my own MOTUC collection. Hell, I already have a crazy fan-continuity concocted.
