ItsAllTrueReview: MOTU Classics Goddess
If you aren't sure where the Goddess fits into MOTU, that's okay. It's a bit confusing. You could say she was a work-in-progress stage as the creators of MOTU made their way to the Sorceress. The Goddess first appears, as the "Sorceress", in the first mini-comic and bestows powerful vestments onto a barbarian so that he may become He-Man. She appears again in Teela's mini-comic, now referred to as the Goddess, but with Teela's color scheme. After awhile, the cartoon comes along and replaces her outright with the falcon-themed Sorceress and left her consigned to MOTU limbo.
While it's been a frenzy-filled ride of frustration and fun in 2009 for MOTU Collectors, the Classics line has to be the best thing that's happened to He-Man fans since well, ever. MOTU Classics toys have been some of the most fun to review and play with this year. The excitement of opening up a toy every third (usually) week of the month has been something I've grown to really look forward to and hope it will continue to happen for years to come.

When I was a kid, my grandparents would take me to flea markets on a regular basis. I would happily run around looking for the stray action figure while they looked at whatever it is grown-ups look for (I never figured that out, I'm still looking for those stray toys at flea markets). Now, there was one flea market that usually delivered more than the others. I remember getting Ghostbusters, Gobots, Joes, M.A.S.K., and even Super Powers figures there. I picked up Cyclotron and my first Golden Pharaoh for $1 each one time. When I was nine, I found a He-Man figure I'd never seen before. He was a skeleton, so I assumed he was some version of Skeletor. I didn't know there was a cape and a halberd missing. I didn't care though, he was made of glow-in-the-dark plastic and I thought that was the coolest thing (still do). He quickly became one of my favorites.
