Look at these dorks:

Shiny, confused, muscly weirdos with weapons in their hands and hubcaps slapped to their harnesses.. they’re the Ator of toy lines. 

A good knock-off or just plain failed toyline is like a terrible movie that’s terrible in that riff-able beautiful way. Visions exceeding their grasp and yet somehow a grasp lacking adequate vision at the same time.

Someone on Tumblr once referred to the art on the old Masters of the Universe packages of representing “lonesome freaks going about their dark deeds” or something similar… meanwhile, the Galaxy Hole, as @phelous called it, is filled with, well…

Baffled dorks stumbling through life pretending they know what they’re doing. As a kid, that made them lame. As an adult, that makes them weirdly relateable. 

I feel ya, Baltard. I feel ya.

TL:DR: If MOTU was Arnold Schwarzenegger, these guys were Reb Brown.
