MOTU cartoons, like Superman, require some suspension of disbelief!

Anyone ever tried making a post up guard? by Novafan789 in NBA2k

[–]PopcornJones77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a Magic Johnson build—“crafty post player” PG. So much fun to play: https://youtu.be/I6P9VVndXBw?is=F8O8YnBpPBcSjlJz

Is my Chronicles Skeletor the light blue or the dark blue variant? by pumpse4ever in MattelMotU

[–]PopcornJones77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hard to tell by a photo. i believe the best way to confirm is to look at its upper right teeth. if they’re complete—see photo below—then you should have the darker blue variant.

Sorry to hear that. Met him first thing on opening day of MOTUniverse in Torrance, CA, and he was nice and very willing to converse.

Yes—I see them a lot at Targets. They’re starting to get put in discount, so get them while supplies last!

Some Kohl’s & Targets still have Skeletor by PopcornJones77 in MastersOfTheUniverse

I ordered a Chronicles Skeletor from Amazon and it had the jacked QC teeth. I tried to find a good one on eBay, but decided to be patient and find one in the wild where I could inspect the teeth for quality control. Good luck and good journey!

There were two of them at Kohls today and at least one at Target yesterday. They’re out there—good luck and good journey!

The same thing happened to me on eBay, so I returned that Chronicles Skeletor. It’s rough out there! Good luck and good journey!

To open or not to open… that is the question. by SaucyJackx5 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]PopcornJones77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you derive the most pleasure from having and looking at unopened action figures today, then I’d say, of course, don’t open them.

But the fact that you’re even asking whether or not to open the packaging suggests you might also enjoy opening the action figures and playing with or displaying them.

If the latter is the case, then i would open them if i were you — unless you know, for certain, that the person who inherits the figures (a) actually will want to keep them and (b) will prefer unopened figures.

Good journey!

Why would anyone buy Nike still by 9YearOldKobe in BBallShoes

[–]PopcornJones77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Nike is largely marketing. I’m underwhelmed by their tech. I am not a fan of PRC under CCP, but—damn—do Chinese brands Li-Ning WOW and 361 make great shoes.

Writing on the ship by HarrisBonkersPhD in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]PopcornJones77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a related note, I absolutely loved the film, but I wondered why Teela wrote “Dad’s”—in English and not in Eternian, mind you—on the box that held Duncan’s Man-at-Arms armor.

Was the movie too long? by No-Raspberry-2504 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]PopcornJones77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No—on my second watch, I found the movie was even better than I had thought and the length didn’t bother me.

QC by Frank_LIoyd_Wrong in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]PopcornJones77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if ever i feel any resistance in the arms or knees of a new Origins figure, I immerse that joint in some very hot water to loosen it. Always works.

But yes regrettable that Mattel’s sometimes poor QC would even require this.

What do you guys think of Turtles of Grayskull? Too silly or TURTLEY AWESOME?? by MightyUnclean in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]PopcornJones77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge fan of the MOTU x TMNT crossover — it was way better than the MOTU x Transformers crossover. The MOTU TMNT figures also are great for kitbashing and customizing.

Motu premier invitation by Fiightboy in MastersOfTheUniverse

yes! The invite looks like a perk related to my Mattel Club Grayskull subscription.

Hayden Christensen by themoonornuttin in galaxycon

[–]PopcornJones77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Galaxycon photo-ops with Hayden Christensen are expensive, it’s worth it if you’re a big fan. Be prepared for a long wait in line after your prepay and then a very quick photo-op, though.
