Thundercats ThunderTank 2011

Full disclosure. I have only one tattoo and will always have only one tattoo. I got it in honor of having met my wife, a couple of months after we were engaged. I was 34 at the time. I wanted to wait until I had a reason to get one, and could come up with a design I liked. I finally ended up with the Thundercats logo, done in a broken rock/chrome style. It covers most of the outside of my shoulder, so it's not exactly tiny. I'm telling you this to let you know that I have more than a passing fondness for the 80s show and toyline, Thundercats. That disclosure takes us to today's review, the ThunderTank.

Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Prince Fabulous

Don't get me started on MattyCollector. Don't get me started on Mattel, Scott Nietlich, or the overall mishandling of the Masters of the Universe Classics line. What should have been an astoundingly successful line was instead turned into a niche line for only the most serious of collectors. Cherry pickers and frugal shoppers need not apply. I started off with a lot of excitement for the figures, but bowed out after a year and a half and only a few figures bought. There is one rule I'm very particular about and never break.. I don't fight people to take my money. That's why I was thrilled to hear that a lot of "sold out" Masters of the Universe Classics figures were released to Big Lots and being sold for $10 each. I absolutely don't mind swinging by a store and buying a figure at a good price off of a shelf, so it was an instant win.
