i took a small break from the MotU stuff but caught myself sucked back into the void. ended up converting and creating some more minor characters and then some. i'm still dragging my feet on doing the Great Rebellion faction but i need to just stop being a child and just do it and get it done. i only have the Rebellion and the Evil Horde factions to do. but i am having too much fun creating these obscure characters. Spirit of Grayskull. the Red Knight. several months ago Mattel released the Masters of the Universe: Origins Battle for Eternia multipack that featured a figure from each of the major factions in the MotU except the Great Rebellion. out of all of the figures that are featured in the pack, i noticed the Paragon Champion for the Heroic Warriors seemed fairly easy to convert using spare figures i have from my surplus CMON Clash of Eternia miniatures. using the torso of King Randor and lower body and head from a Eternian Palace Guard, i was able to create this neat figure. ...

i've been painting miniatures for the past few weeks but with work and weather, i haven't gotten around to posting anything. i did however buy a few new minis for my fantasy collection and also finally getting around to painting some plastic sprues that i got a while back. and of course continuing painting the Masters of the Universe figures. the recent Next Level Miniatures i got were a metal golem and i got another vampire. i originally got the golem to be a companion for an existing D&D character but decided against it.  iron golem. gave it a golden color instead of the usual silver metal feel. a nosferatu vampire. a few weeks ago i came across a plastic box set of miniatures from Wildspire Miniatures on Amazon was curious about what they were like in person. unfortunately there were a few from one set i bought i was interested in. in a future post i'll show more miniatures from the other box sets i got. mysterious female spellcaster. love how the hat comes down to c...

 a few weeks ago i converted a spare Rokkon figure into another Comet Warrior character. the reason for this was i ended reading several posts on Battle Ram Blog.com and noticed in a picture, Comet Warriors i was not familiar with. so i did some digging and couldn't find anything but i made the figure anyways and was going to give him a name of my own. when i painted the figure i kept the green that you see on his head but take some creative liberty and made the rest of the body kind of like i did with my other Comet Warriors.. now just a day or so ago i was messing around on Pinterest and found the following image of an unofficial bio pic and saw it had the same art from the old comic that i originally saw a while back. the name they gave him was Bouldron so even though this isn't official, this'll be the name i will label my miniature. and the way the color scheme they used for this character is mainly all green, i might go back and repaint my figure just to give the char...

 yet another round of characters but this time i found these on Etsy, and i have to say these were printed fairly well. i have been eyeing these for some time and i finally cracked and ordered them. once i got them i was anxious and impressed. i do get somewhat worrisome when it comes to ordering 3-d printed figures.  ModestMinisStudio  is the Etsy store i ordered these characters from. not too keen on the material they use to create the figures but it'll have to do. at least i was able to get a hold of these characters for my collection. these are 32mm, which i have learned with the CMON Clash of Eternia miniatures the scaling of these figures do somewhat differ from one another. so when i went to order these i was a little scared that they wouldn't fit with the others, but it works. Rio Blast. Jitsu. Draego-Man. not going to lie this is my favorite figure so far. when i was able to purchase Multi-Bot i also had the option of getting him in single figures. with so much i...

 another round of MotU miniatures and this time really miscellaneous characters. these characters i found in either the Masters of the Universe character guide and world compendium from Dark Horse Comics, that my wonderful girlfriend got me a few years back, or on Battle Ram Blog.com . since i painted up an Anti He-Man, it was only given he needed an Anti Battle Cat. and since i read there was to my knowledge an Anti Man-at-Arms and an Anti Orko, i painted up those since i had spare figures on hand. Anti Battle Cat. Anti Man-at-Arms and Anti Orko. after reading some articles on Battle Ram Blog i came across some interesting facts, and thought it would be interesting to see these on the tabletop and in game. Beast Man from concept art using an alternate color scheme.  "evil" Stratos, with a slight minor color difference. alternate "heroic" Mer-Man, also with some minor color difference. another member of the Rock People, i've seen artwork from a comic of rock peo...

 recently i've taken a break from all things related to the hobby. sometime ago i had several MotU miniatures painted but not based and finished, but i managed to get those and several more completed before i went on vacation last week. during my hobby break i came across an interesting facebook page and website, Battle Ram Blog.com , where it dives into the background stories of the Masters of the Universe toy production and published books throughout the world. which i find fascinating one story could be different or slightly changed from one country to another. i did have the Great Rebellion faction next to be painted but with my hobby hiatus, i did some miscellaneous characters and even some odd ball characters that either came from fairly recent toy lines or just cool concept ideas/artwork. Slamurai. Shadow Beasts. more Eternian Guards. Golden Rod, a concept character created for the Snake Men. could not find much more info on the robot but it was too cool not to create. Teela...
