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:

I am visiting my parents and had a stowaway – the Masters of the Universe Classics Jitsu. The horse is a souvenir my dad has from his days working in China, and I snapped a quick picture of it with Jitsu. And before long, I had this quick series of shots. Jitsu’s victim is an old Hulk Hogan from way back when Hasbro had the WWF license. I had a bunch of wrestling figures back in the 90s, and my dad asked if he could have one. And wouldn’t you know, he’s kept it in better shape than I have done with my modern day collection.
There’s a certain joy, being unburdened by camera gear and lights – I shot these with my camera phone and the sunlight coming in the window. It reminded me of my younger days, taking the original Jitsu figure out to the backyard and shooting pictures of him with an old hand-me-down 35MM. In a way, that’s what started this all.

The Fwoosh’s Matthew K was kind enough to let me post his Masters of the Universe Classics feature for Jitsu (my favorite Masters character, if you somehow did not know that :)) right here on AFP. As always, Matt has created some absolutely beautiful pictures – so much better than I would be able to do myself. Jitsu deserves it! Thanks so much, Matt!
Let’s take a look at February’s Masters of the Universe Classics figure – Jitsu!

You don’t think I post Steals and Deals here but don’t partake, do you? When the 25% off plus free shipping deal at the Marvel Store was here last weekend, I picked up an Iron Monger. I had it on pre-order a while back, but had second thoughts, primarily about the price. But this sale tested my willpower, and I’m sad to say I’ll never become a Green Lantern. But frankly, I don’t care, because the Hot Toys Iron Monger was a steal at 25% off, and if you pay full price it’s worth every penny.
