TFAW has a pre-order deal on the He-Man Castle Grayskull Business Card Holder for only $30.00 (that’s 25% off the list price of $39.95). The figure will be released on October 31, 2012.

But you have to pre-order the He-Man Castle Grayskull Business Card Holder sooner rather than later if you want to get it at a discount (AND while supplies last – it’s the deal of the day and these things tend to sell out).

Ten years ago, every fan of the Masters of the Universe franchise got what they always wanted – a brand new, updated version of the classic series complete with a new cartoon on Cartoon Network, new, updated action figures, a brand new comic book series, and TONS of other merchandise. It was a dream come true for those of us who had waited almost 20 years for any kind of new Masters of the Universe product. Sadly, ever since He-Man returned in 2002, he’s been fighting an uphill battle. First, his new cartoon was canceled. Then, his comic book was canceled. Then, the new line of figures ended. He-Fans had thought all hope was lost.

Fast forward to the 2008 San Deigo Comic-Con. There, in the Mattel display case was a brand new figure that was the PERFECT He-Man. Fans went wild, message boards were overloaded and shut down. It was announced later that weekend that a brand NEW line of figures were being produced, called Masters of the Univerese Classics. Basically, it was brand new figures based on the classic line, but updated with fantastic sculpts by the legendary Four Horsemen. Instead of selling the figures at retail, Mattel offered a subscription service where you could sign up and get a figure every month. We got some of the best figures ever produced. From mainstays like He-Man and Skeletor to awesome beasts like Battle Cat and Panthro, the line was a dream come true for He-Man fans, and to this day, it still is.

The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel today is a mash-up of Super Mario Bros. and He-Man and the Masters Of The Universe called “Masters of the Kingdom” by Brinkerhoff.

The shirt went on sale at RIPT today, Tuesday, July 17, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

Each and every week “Firework Fred” MK2Fac3 and “Firecracker Frank” Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of July 4, 2012. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

Um, yeah, sorry about the delay, folks! We were just sitting over here drinking non-alcoholic beverages in celebration of freedom and such, so we got a little too distracted by the holiday to get this up in time. You forgive us, right? Sure you do. I mean, I’m sure that you might have gotten distracted by all the booms and crackering of fireworks too and missed picking up new comics, right? That’s what I thought. Well, there’s a decent amount of stuff that came out this week, but a lot of it is more new issues than new comics, you know what I mean? Not a lot of fresh pickings. Nonetheless, you should read on because there are new comics to love and behold. Which ones? Like I said, you’ll need to read on for The GoD List.

When reading Masters of the Universe: The Lost Knight, you get the feeling that if Mattel was still including mini-comics with their toys, this is the one that would be included with Sir Laser Lot. DC Comics will be releasing these shorter, digital comics every two weeks as a companion or supplement to its Masters of the Universe six-issue miniseries that debuted in comic stores on July 4th. And by the looks of things, we’re in for some GREAT reading.

I guess you could say this Geoff Johns guy knows how to write a comic. But, does he know how to write a licensed property comic? Guess what folks, all those DC Comics that he writes, at this point ARE licensed properties. And to answer my own question, YES, he does. Time/page-wise, he doesn’t have much to work with, as this comic is about 17 or 18 pages long, a little shorter than what he’s used to working with. And, to be fair, because of the digital format, most of the pages are only feature a couple of panels. BUT, what he DOES do is pack a TON of story into these panels.
