Mego Stan Lee

I want to say this figure dropped in Spring of 2021, with a light-yellow sweater, but I picked up this red sweater variant from an eBay seller at a deep discount. There was an earlier Mego Stan Lee released in 2020 without the web-spinning hands as well. I have been looking at him for years wondering how he'd fit into my purely DC Mego figure collection, but after I got ahold of the Disney Store Mego Spider-Man & Arch Enemies 4-pk, I felt he'd finally have some Marvel friends to pose with.

Below, Mego Stan Lee with my Marvel Legends Stan Lee ...!

Now that I have an official Mego Spider-Man in my collection, 

Mego Stan Lee will always have a trusted ally! Excelsior!

Batman the Animated Happy Meal Premiums (1993)

These Batman the Animated Happy Meal premiums from '93 were a random antique mall find for under eight bucks, the complete set pictured below in a recent eBay listing:

I've seen that Poison Ivy Plant Car and remember the Riddler maybe, but I like this cheap little assortment I found. Robin and the panther accessory bring some color, and Batman and Catwoman have a clean, uniform look.

I'm not crazy about the head sculpt on this Batman, but I like his classic presentation in gray and black with yellow oval chest insignia.

Double back and check out my enormous

  Batman the Animated/New Adventures figure dump from December!

My initial thought regarding Catwoman's panther accessory was "I wonder where else was this included", but the collar matching its master's belt made it seem more like a matching part than a parts reuse from another line. Her green eyes and red lipstick are crisp!

Catwoman and Batman have screws in back; the Caped Crusader's covered by a removable cape. They both have shoulder and waist swivels, but Batman has the added neck articulation. A great pair!

Now this Robin on his wind-up cycle was a treat- zips around in an uncontrollable fashion that made any video shot on my modest table underwhelming compared to its remarkable pull. Wild kid! I like that they made the front wheel green, but it's hard to see. 

And finally, Happy Meal Robin on his cycle with my Kenner Turbo Glider Robin 

and Spin Master Batman Forever Robin...

MOTU Origins Moss Man

I'm pretty sure I found this Deluxe Origins Moss Man in '22, but decided to bust him out apropos of nothing- or maybe I felt inspired by my new Origins Castle Grayskull, which has been lots of fun to play with! Yes, this is basically a green Beastman, but he's flocked so we all paid significantly more. He came with two heads, two weapons, and yellow armor that's a direct homage to the MOTU weapons pack back in the '80s. A really nice figure!

What if Moss Man and Beastman were evil partners trying 

to take over Castle Grayskull from He-Man ..?

...no, I think Buzz-Off would be a better partner for the benevolent Moss Man ...

MOTU Origins Sketchbook Series He-man

 

I was surprised by the sudden appearance of this Sketchbook Series He-Man at retail, mine ordered of Target's website with free shipping and 5% off using my Target debit card. I wasn't interested in the Sketchbook Series Spikor, even on clearance at $6.00 recently, but it was love at first sight for this He-Man. His arrival was also perfect timing after posting on the 2026 Vintage Castle Grayskull!

The battle axe doesn't exactly fit in the sheath on the back of He-Man's armor- they should have included a sword. I'm partial to the alternate head with blonde hair, but it's nice to have options!

I get the concept of pencil sketches on the inserts for these Sketchbook Series figures, but they aren't the original drawings. If you'd like to see more of that, head over to Battle Ram Blog, one of my favorite online resources for Masters of the Universe.

On the box art for the new Vintage Castle Grayskull, it appears that Faker wears the space suit included with the playset! Below, He-Man battles the disguised doppelganger and Skeletor in the throne room ...!
