McFarlane’s Spawn 4 by WatchinDworldGoBy- On (a) Hiatus
Poe’s note: Spawn series 12 was probably the last non-themed Spawn wave I really liked. I had this guy, along with the Heap and Cy-Gor 2.

Secret Identities – Poe Ghostal
Apologies for the slow day–I’ve got the day off and finally executed my long-delayed plan to watch Fellowship of the Ring on our widescreen TV. I love those movies dearly, but the extended edition of that movie is long. Now I have to carve out eight more hours at some point for the other two…

Any questions for Mattel?
Let’s get some Q for this A, bitches. (Note: this a call for the October 1 round. The September 15 round was submitted back on September 1.)
New He-Man movie even less likely than before
Variety reports that Mattel and Warner Brothers won’t be working together to bring the Most Powerful Man in the Universe to the silver screen again.
This is after they’d already thrown out the potentially film-able script by Justin Marks, who’s at least partially responsible for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
I’ve had my doubts about this project all along, and I still doubt a new He-Man movie will ever see the light of day. While it certainly has a devoted coterie of fans, Masters of the Universe has never had a cult following on the scale of Transformers or G.I. Joe, and more to the point, its concepts are even goofier. Optimus Prime and Duke are relatively cool names; He-Man is not.
That said, stranger things have definitely happened before (like hugely successful films based on amusement park rides), and I can imagine a world where a He-Man movie does well.

Worried about Walmart and DCUC Wave 10? Sign here.
Brian over at Pendragon’s Post has started a petition to ask Walmart to improve distribution on DC Universe Classics, particularly Wave 10.
I know this is an issue near and dear to many of us–OK, well, not me so much anymore, though I do want that Joker, bad. Anyway, this is one way to help make sure Walmart’s aware of the problem. Just head to the link below and add your John Hancock:

Review > Ninja Minimates Decal Kit
Today’s review is a bit unorthodox, since it’s not really a review of a figure, but a set of customizing accessories.
Anyone who collects Minimates knows there’s a thriving customizing community for the little block figures. What you may not know is that some of those customizers are moving beyond individual customs to making kits that allow any fan to create their own brand-new Minimates. (more…)
Grizzlor: Furry or furrowed?
In the wake of the Moss-Man flocking debate, a new discussion has cropped up over on He-Man.org regarding that hairy Horde henchman, Grizzlor.

The 1980s Grizzlor had rooted hair from head to crotch. I always found him to be one of the goofiest MOTU figures ever made–and that’s saying something. The hair doesn’t conform to his body shape, it just sticks out in all directions. He doesn’t look like a sasquatch or a Wookie. He’s not a “furry man”–he’s a furball. Like a muscled-up guinea pig with a crossbow. (more…)
