Doom Copter

From Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars series
Released by Mattel

Mine's perfectly incomplete.


and I'm pretty sure this Marvel Super Heroes series 1 Doctor Doom is not for this vehicle. Doom doesn't fit the pilot sit because of his man-skirt, so i just put Spidey there.

Still a tad fit even for Spidey.

With opening back compartment.

Zombie Spider-Man

Manufactured by Diamond Select
for Marvel Select series
Released in 2007

One of my favorite Marvel Select series. everything about this wave is just so cool. 


This undead zombie superhero, comes with a removable leg, and a quarter-eaten Silver Surfer-base.















I just love the zombie artwork for this line.




Days of Future Past Wolverine

Manufactured by Diamond Select
for Marvel Select series
Released in 2005

When all X-Men were captured and killed, only one bad ass member survived and unsurprisingly its Wolverine!

It's Old Man Logan, in his trademark brown jacket, accessories include a Kate Pryde whole figure (though not articulated), and a wanted poster wall base.

Aside from the great sculpt made by diamond select, packaging was neatly done, you could tell the whole story of the character with just a simple glimpse of the box.

I've always been a fan of the side-artwork of the Select line. perfect for storing your MS sideways.


















with Character's logo in the lower part of the box.



















At the back is a simple explanation for the character's story. and other available figures from the wave.


Dragon Walker

from Masters of the Universe Original Series
Released by Mattel in 1984




















Regarded as the coolest MOTU vehicle back then. this has an actual motorized walking action feature. though i'm not sure if mine still works.
on-off switch

Sculpt is terrific! from the Dragon's head, to the scales of it's feet. No paint was used, plastic colors is as is. with detailed decals on the control panel (missing half on mine though.).


 i'm sorry if it's a bit dusty considering 2+ decades of playtime and shelf-ware for this toy.



Masters of the Universe Wind Raider

from Masters of the Universe Original Series
Released by Mattel in 1982


No action feature, except the turning wings. and front head.

Got mine with 1 broken wing.

Nice concept for a flying vehicle. no paint rather plastic's colors was used, and some decals.

 i'm sorry if it's a bit dusty considering 2+ decades of playtime and shelf-ware for this toy.


Masters of The Universe Battle Ram

from Masters of the Universe Original Series
Released by Mattel in 1982



comes with 2 orange monster-sculpted missilles.
with missille-launching action feature, orange trigger is located at the back. 2 decades of this toy, and still the action feature still strongly launches.


Front detaches to become "Sky Sled"


Has the 1981 mark by the manufacturer



















Greatly sculpted  nicely detailed, though no paint was used for this toy, plastic color is as is. with some cool looking decals.

figure used is a Vintage Stratos.

 i'm sorry if it's a bit dusty considering 2+ decades of playtime and shelf-ware for this toy.



STRATOS : Vintage Masters of The Universe

From: Masters of the Universe vintage series
released in 1982


Stands 5 inches tall. 

He's made with soft gummy plastic, head is strongly-soft you could squeeze, paint used became sticky, as per any action figure made in the early 80's.

Released in 1982 but the marking on his back is 1981. way before i was born.

Poorly articulated but highly nostalgic.
