Grayskull!

Hey everyone! For those who do not know, the brand new Castle Grayskull Classics play set is getting the go ahead. This is big news. I mean maybe not as big as a Crystal Castle Classics play set, but it is still big nonetheless. The Castle itself will also be really big. We are talking three floors. it folds open. And She-Ra and He-Man no longer have to worry about being homeless. I pre-ordered mine like a week ago, so if you are a fan of She-Ra and He-Man, you better hurry and pre-order your own Grayskull, because you will only have until January 4th 2013. There will be some for sale on the sale date sometime next fall, but I don't know how much. So this is pretty exciting!

Also, speaking of She-Ra and He-Man, I just wanted to let those who read Adora's Search for Honor know that I am hoping to have it done by Saturday... but it might be Sunday. I have so many things to write and these last few chapters from Part 2 are going to be jam packed with good stuff. I am really excited for this. I know it may seem highly dorky and super strange, but this fan fic runs on a loop in my brain for the majority of my days. It is sad, but it is truly something that means the world to me. So for those who read it and really dig it, just wait! Part 2 is going to be so good!

And lastly, I have been re-watching the special pilot episode of the original My Little Pony cartoon called "Rescue at Midnight Castle" and it is just the best cartoon episode. I mean it has so much: Sea Ponies singing a catchy song... Ponies getting changed into scary looking beasts for Tirek's Chariot of Darkness... Magic mushrooms and a Moochick... If you don't like that episode, well, I just have sadness for you. Anyways, take care everyone and be sure to check back soon. I will be getting to that fun Heroic Hottie that will just make you quiver!

  1. I ordered my Castle! Now to start catching up on my MotUC collection. Would you believe that I had 75% of the vintage line (literally, I made a spreadsheet) and I'm JUST NOW getting back into collecting He-Man and his buds? All I have is He-Man, Battle Cat and King Grayskull. Starting that collection led me to YOU, MISS M!!! I sold all of my partial collections over the last few years, and I've been finishing very specific collections. First, was Indiana Jones. Vintage to 2008. Next was Batman: The Animated Series. Then Kenner's amazing Super Powers Collection. Just recently I got within about 10 figures of finishing off a pretty intense DC Universe Classics collection (Super Powers spilled over into Mattel's new Super Powers re-do's). My next focus will be MotU 200X and MotUC simultaneously. I've gotta go slow, though - or I'll end up divorced. Why am I telling you all this? Because we have similar collecting minds! And I think you'll dig my plan! I've become such a fan of Diary of a Dorkette, that it's now become a pinned tab on my Chrome browser. Keep up the good work!

    1. You are so kind! And my goodness, you are on one ambitious collecting journey! It also sounds like you have a pretty extensive collection. And I am in love with the Indiana Jones line. I've never really owned anything from the vintage, but the 2008 line was to die for and once I got my Willie Scott figure, all was well with the world. I hope you are well, and thank you for commenting!

  3. I was super excited to see that Grayskull made the goal. I preordered on the first day because I was so amazed that it made it as far as it did. Matty kept saying they probably wouldn't ever do something like that since the price would be too high and I kept reading "No plans at this time." So it will definitely be exciting. I had my original grayskull at such a young age that it eventually was missing pieces and had no stickers so it will be nice to get a deluxe version of it! Next to my power sword this is a centerpiece to the collection!

    1. Hey Jay! Well I am so excited it happened. I was completely thrilled to know that it happened. I am just so happy to see this thing get made, especially like you said, there were so many times when Matty said it wouldn't happen. I know it will make the perfect piece for many a collection. I also hope you are doing well. Talk to you later!

    Well Miss M i want to say that when you say - "And She-Ra and He-Man no longer have to worry about being homeless." You makes me smile, that was a funny quote!
