It’s a massive undertaking so they need a minimum amount of preorders. The castle will be $250 if you pre order, plus shipping (probably about another $50 for me). We have until the 12th of November to reach the minimum.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and will cement MOTUC as one of the best toy lines ever. Seriously, this is getting close to Palisades Muppet epicness here.

My Sorceress/Fisto/Shadow Weaver shipment finally came. I nerdily documented it for posterity. There’s lots of great stuff coming this year, but these are definitely some of the high points this year. It’s cool to get them all at the same time.

If you’re a toy fan you most likely know about the MOTUC that’s coming this year. But here at The Laird of Toy, we like to be thorough. I also feel that I kind of appeal to the casual toy fan. So here’s the goods!

Frosta is the one I’m actually looking forward to the most. Some other Princess of Power figures have left me a little cold (The Star Sisters), but Frosta here has a more mature design and a sculpt that breaks the mold a bit. The faces on MOTUC females have been a bit generic, but her’s has some real character.

The others, with a full release list, will be posted shortly.
