Apologies for the late Webstor Day reminder–now that we’re on subscription, I’m less attentive to when the figures go on sale. Well, this month anyway. Next month I have Zodak and Ray to worry about. Anyway, if you’re not on subscription, you can order your Webstor at 12noon Eastern time right here.

While I’ve admitted I’m not as psyched for Webstor as I have been for other MOTUC figures, it seems that one person sure is: Cornboy Eric Treadaway of the Four Horsemen, who posted this on Mattel’s Facebook page.

I was very excited to get Webstor into the line up this soon. He was one of my top 3 in the vintage line and, unfortunately, we were never able to get to him in the 200X line (At least as an action figure.).

Webstor was so cool to me as a kid because it was back when you had no idea what types of figures would be coming to store shelves, so there were always cool surprises when new figures came out. Around the time when Battle Armor He-Man and Skeletor were released some of the mini-comics had a list of character names on the back. There were plenty of names including characters like Whiplash, Clawful, and of course Webstor. All of the names sounded very intriguing, but unfortunately there were no images to show what these characters would look like.

After months of seeing every other character on that list except Webstor, I finally came across an unopened case of Masters figures sitting on the floor of a Lionel Play World. When I opened the case I looked down and there he was- the mysterious Webstor. The cool sculpting on his evil looking head and armor, combined with his creepy dark coloring and dynamic cardback illustration made him instantly one of my favorites. Needless to say, we had a blast bringing this guy back!
