Today we’re doing a very late pic review of the Masters of the Universe Classics Keldor. Yes, it took me a while to get to him, and everyone else has already posted their Keldor reviews, but no matter. Here we go!
I wasn’t going to buy this set but I stopped in the only DC Universe Classics stocking Wal-Mart a couple days ago and discovered that, due a reset of the Toy Department, all of the DCUC stock had been moved to a clearance aisle and for $15, I couldn’t pass it up. Overall the quality of the set is very good. Manta’s gun was slightly bent up and Aquaman’s right leg was a little warped at the knee joint (easily fixed with a session under the hair dryer and cold water tap) but otherwise they are well made with no problems or defects.
This is probably going to be somewhat of a disappointment to long-time fans of Art Asylum’s Star Trek action figures from the original series. Series 5 was originally slated to include only one of the figures that eventually made it – the Kirk in dress shirt. Missing are Bones in his short-sleeve Sick Bay uniform, and completely new figures for fan favorites Yeoman Janice Rand and Nurse Chapel. The first hints that these figures were at risk of not making it to shelves was in DST’s shipping update from last October. And check the pic of the card back – the original lineup is still there. Tease!
On the upside, the line has been lacking in the villain department, and now we’ll get a Romulan to join Kang the Klingon from Series 3 last year. I’m still seeing lots of remnants of Kirk and Spock from that series at the local TRUs, so I’ve got to wonder how adding what will likely be another Kirk-heavy series will help us get more Trek to shelves.
Star Trek… the Series 5!
Just when you thought we didn’t have any more Original Series figures up our sleeves!
Surprise! Series 5 is coming out!
What does it contain exactly?
Star Trek The Original Series: Series 5 is made of 3 very important characters:
Of course we have our faithful leader, Captain James T. Kirk. But have you seen him in his Green Dress Shirt? Very respectable!
And what about Scotty? No collection is complete without him, you just cannot do it! It’s not enough power!
And finally, Romulan… Hmm… he looks an awlful lot like a Vulcan… could it be coincidence? Or a common ancestry?

If you’re a 3A, World War Robot, or Ashley Woods fan, then you may know (and be extremely jealous) that this weekend, 3A Toys held their Beijing Gathering. When I win the lottery, this will be the type of event I’ll go to. But since I’m still a working stiff, I’ll just have to be happy with other people’s pictures.
