Masters of the Universe Classics Club Eternia – Map of Subternia Viewer

It’s becoming a tradition – each year when the Club Eternia exclusives ship, I publish one of the more popular posts on AFP – the map viewer for the Club Eternia exclusive map. This year, Mattel shipped the Map of Subternia with the club exclusive King He-Man. I even got a 24 cent refund for being overcharged for the map shipment. A thousand more of those and I’ll have saved up enough for Castle Grayskull! 😉

Big thanks again to my wife, who made this possible again this year. Enjoy exploring Subternia, and be sure to visit our previous installments:

WebSwipe: Hot Toys Iron Man Armored Whiplash and Mark 42 – OneSixthWarriors.com

The folks at OSW found a magazine preview of two upcoming Hot Toys releases – the armored Whiplash from Iron Man 2 and the Mark 42 armor from Iron Man 3, which opens in the US on May 3. With the DieCast logo, the initial thinking was that both figures would be part of the new sub-line, but it may be that only the Mark 42 will be diecast, while Whiplash will be in the more affordable main line.

As much as I love Mickey Rourke (he was an awesome Marv in Sin City) I found his Ivan Vanko, and the rest of IM2, a bit flat. So I skipped the first Whiplash from Hot Toys, but I will be pretty tempted to pick this one up. After all, anything armored from Hot Toys Iron Man turns out pretty damn cool.

Border Patrol: Transformers Overlord, Devastator, Optimus Prime, Kill-O-Watt, and Acidstorm / Icestorm

This week, the customs scene on eBay was overloaded by some pretty impressive custom Transformers. The list was dominated by the G.I. JOE crossover Overlord, which has broken $1K with five days still remaining in the auction.

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Transformers G.I. JOE Overlord by GetRightRobot – this massive custom includes a 26-inch Night Raven, a HISS Tank, and vintage Zartan and Zarana figures – no wonder the price is skyrocketing – ends Mar 31, 2013 18:04:56 PDT

Here’s the Castle Grayskull You Wish You Could Buy

When Jaime Einloft posted his Castle Grayskull custom on the Fwoosh, I felt more than a twinge of jealousy. Sure, I still have a pre-order in for Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics version (for now, at least), but this massive display piece is everything I could have hoped for from the source of Eternia’s power. Too bad it’s one of a kind.
