Masters Of The Universe: The Motion Picture Mexican Lobby Card


About ten years ago I found this lobby card on eBay and bought it, I can't remember exactly but I paid less than 10 dollars shipped for it so all in all pretty inexpensive. When I bought this it was listed as a Mexican lobby card but other than being in Spanish I cannot confirm nor deny that this is from Mexico. This lobby card measures 17 3/4 inches by 11 5/8 inches (45 cm by 29.5 cm) and is made out of thin paper more similar to printer paper than either a movie poster or a lobby card made out of photographic paper.

Here is an example of a Spanish Lobby Card.

The Real Ghostbusters Egon Spengler and Gulper Ghost Action Figure Review Wal-Mart Exclusive


Like everyone else in the world, the pandemic has changed the entire world. Unfortunately for me, I'm high risk so I've basically been locked away at my house for months. I decided I needed to get out for a bit so I went to the store with my wife. Being a responsible adult the first thing I did was go to the toy aisle. I know that the new Masters Of The Universe Origins action figure line is due out any time and in fact some are already available for sale on places like eBay so I had to take a look. I didn't find any new He-Man figures but I found something else that was just as special to me, the original 1980's Ghostbusters action figures!

Masters Of The Universe Miniatures By Quest Miniatures


When the pandemic started I needed some new projects to work so when I saw these Masters Of The Universe miniatures I had to get them. As I write this these are the only MOTU miniatures that you can get besides some that were released in the 1980s that are small, hard to find, and expensive. These look excellent, are affordable, and I think they look great.

Blog Update: Power Restored!


Well for a change the prediction that I'd have my power restored by Wednesday was wrong and we got power back around 9pm Saturday night. The local power company is so swamped that they needed to ship in workers from three states over to help restore everything. Overall this wasn't the worst hurricane I've been through and hopefully, it's also the last I'll have to deal with for a while. I will begin regular blog posts again on Monday so I'll see you then.

Blog Update: Hurricane Isaias


Well Hurricane Isaias has come and gone and while it wasn’t bad, I’ve lived through much worse, it somehow did considerable damage to my area. There are trees down everywhere and while our power lines are buried underground they are connected to above ground lines which are all down so we have been without power since Tuesday afternoon but never fear, the power company said we should have power back by this Wednesday!!

While I don’t quite live in the sticks I’m far enough away that we are low on the power companies priorities. This also means that my internet connection on my phone is almost nonexistent. Because of this there won’t be any new posts at least for the next few days and if the power company doesn’t get off their butts sooner it could be even longer. The good news is that I have lots more free time to play Wings of Glory, as long as it’s during the day.
