Welcome to the Powet Top 5, where we explore the top (and bottom) 5 items we think are relevant to any of a variety of topics that span the imagination. Sit back, read, and respond

Starting at the end of 2008, Mattel started the collector line known as Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC). The line was meant to be a modern interpretation of the vintage figures. It was intended to celebrate all iterations of the franchise including the vintage MOTU series, Princess of Power (PoP), New Adventures of He-Man (NA), and the modern 200x Mike Young Productions interpretation of the series. A lengthy all-inclusive story was plotted out to give the line a cohesive story to tell in the bios for each figure. The subsequent story told thus far has had a some twists that really threw us for a loop. Here is my top 5 list of revalations for the MOTU Classics bios.

I am including each of the relevant bios for each point, but I tried not to overwhelm you all with too much reading.

Good news for Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Classics collectors. The latest issue of ToyFare revealed the May Club Eternia figure available exclusively on MattyCollector.com (until all the e-tailers buy them up and sell them for marked up prices). The May figure will be She-Ra’s nemesis Catra. Catra will have both a grey and a red mask to pay tribute to the vintage figure and the cartoon, respectively. Matty’s facebook page showed the rear view of the Catra figure, while you’ll need to pick up the latest ToyFare to see the full frontal (or click the picture on the right). Also announced in ToyFare is that the next DC Universe vs. MOTU Classics 2-pack will be Green Lantern and Zodac (classic white guy, not Zodak, the black guy from 200x sadly). In addition to all this great news, Matty’s facebook page also gave us the skinny on the upcoming release schedule including reissues. Looks like they are going to start doubling up on reissues. Good news for those catching up. Bad news for their wallets.

Here’s the release from Facebook:
