OK, I’m as caught up as I can be.I’m not gonna do a full recount of the whole Masters Of The Universe Cartoon Collection thing. Critical weirdos. Buzz Off preorder. Redefinition of “critical”. Backfilling. Trap Jaw, Triklops, and now Stratos. The only one left is Beast Man but he’s going for $60 on eBay so fuck that noise.
It’s also a standard Cartoon ZCollection release. Looks like the cartoon. Same quality. Comes with an episode-specific staff. Exactly what I excpected, no surprises.
So, what’s the deal with this picture? Well, as is traditional, it’s a conflation of two deep cuts from two different fandoms.
See, the Staff of Avion that Stratos comes with is a Bird People artifact, brought out once a year, and for reasons I do not fully understand, it makes fireworks.
And a few years back, in AEW, they had an “Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match” between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston, and the finale was supposed to be Kingston covering his frind/rival to protect him from the ring exploding, but the pyro didn’t go off right so only the four corners went off with fireworks and it became a classic wrestling moment for all the wrong reasons. Venn digram overlap: FIREWORKS.’
