This past weekend played host to the very first Power Con, a convention dedicated He-man and the Masters of the Universe. It was actually a double convention. Thunder Con, the second part of this double-billing, is a convention dedicated to Thundercats. There wasn’t much in the way of Thundercats presence there, but Mattel certainly showed up to represent MOTU and even held a panel. If you want to read more about what was revealed at the panel or want to see more of what went on, please join us after the jump for coverage!
