I'm doing a multi-week virtual tour of the Geek Cave. I'm going to post pictures and discuss one shelving unit a week for the foreseeable future. I'm also going to switch up generations, areas of the Cave, and even types of collection as I feel like it.
This week we're looking at something completely different - Roomy's Masters of the Universe Classics collection!
The Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) collection were made specifically for adult collectors. They are highly poseable, highly detailed re-imaginings of the original MOTU and POP toy lines. These were produced by Matty Collector (later Super 7 made several equally excellent figures) and sold largely online to adult collectors, often through subscriptions.
Roomy and I share space in the Geek Cave, and her MOTUC collection is displayed largely on three Ikea Kallax shelves. Castle Greyskull sits proudly atop the display space, with the Windraider ready for action nearby. Roomy also has problems with getting around to opening her toys in a timely fashion.
Under the display space is figure space. One one side we have Roomy's He-Man army, Skeletor army, 200X figures, and various weird bonhommes and large vehicles and creatures.
On the other side we have the mighty steeds Arrow and Swift Wind, a collection of heroes, and the Evil Horde (no doubt plotting evil - it's right there in their name).
Luckily, the Great Rebellion is nearby, and ready to deal with the Horde's evil plotting, with some help from SDCC Exclusive She-Ra and PowerCon Exclusive Starburst She-Ra! More of the Rebellion below.
These figures are fantastically detailed and wonderfully poseable. They also included many characters who appeared in the cartoon but didn't have vintage figures, which is great fun.
Also under the display space is Roomy's collection of the most recent She-Ra toys. These are really fun dolls, and it's a shame that we likely won't see more characters made. These are based on the recent reboot on Netflix and, if you've not watched that show, you're missing out on some amazing storytelling, character development, and diversity.
That's it for tour number four. Come back for more ponies next time.
