New Articles: Monstroid & The Top 11 Slashers!

New Articleeee: Hordak had the right look to compete with Skeletor for "Best Masters of the Universe Villain," but he needed a hook. In alternate universes, "hooks" equal "giant, robot crabs." Here's Monstroid, the Evil Horde's wind-up crab-bomb creature that shook and pinched the heroes with extreme prejudice. Link to download the original Mattel commercial is included, because the world needs to see it. Oh, and here's an early look at this week's feature for UGO, The Top 11 Slashers In Movie History! I got ya covered, Pinhead.

I was focusing more on the claws, but yeah, the "Crabor" name doesn’t really help identify him. I like thinkin he’s a crab, though. :)

Damn..I had that toy. You’re right about the legs. I remember playing with Monstroid alot, but I don’t think his legs were ever a part of the fun.

Maybe he was hordak’s reaction to clawful.

"Oh yeah Skeletor? Well look at THIS!!!"

Mystery. Intrigue. Yesterday, I found a pair of MOTU /sunglasses/ on clearance on target. What is this world coming to? When kids won’t buy He-Man sunglasses on CLEARANCE?

mmmmm…..ARBY’S!!!! *Droooool*

I like them Big Montana’s…and the Arby Melt is cheesy goodness…
The other thing I like about Arby’s is that their buns are reeeeeeeeeeeeealllly fresh and soft…i think im getting carried away now so i’ll go watch Conan O’Brien. =)

Wish I could have a mask like Leatherface…maybe I should make my own.

P.S. Felissa Rose played Angela in the first Sleepaway Camp, Happnin’ Mojo

> lowpoint is having that kid from Mercury Rising as your link to the real world.

Miko Hughes. God, that fucking, fucking child. Personally, I would have set the kid at the foot of the bed to protect the innocent dinosaur. Fucking Miko Hughes.

Season of the Witch was fucked up — apparently one of the producers refused to do a third movie unless it took a whole new direction; she should be pilloried forthwith. Mike Meyers was some scary shit, and I didn’t mind the last flic too much — I was pretty satisfied with how they explained his "resurrection" because I was envisioning some cheesy, tissue-regeneration Borgesque ressurection like in Jason X. So maybe I’m easily satisfied.

Whenever I cheer for a bad guy, I have the ominous feeling of dread brought about by the memory of that movie with the person on the rooftop saying "Welcome Interplanetary Visitors" who promptly gets fried to a crisp by the bad-guy aliens. So at the risk of being slashed ironically, yay Freddy!

I had Monstroid! He was awesome. I had Spydor too, I had all the MOTU toys whose legs fell off. I remember Spydor couldn’t walk at all or his legs would fall off, poor guy.

Theodore R. Long, you da the Man! I support ya playa! But don’t back up a pussy like Rodney Mack…How bout D-Von or the Rock (actually he doesn’t need you unless he wants to stay heel). Anyways…Holla Back!

Chestnuts roasted by J-Dog @ 08/13/2003 2:13 PM

Yeah, Matt – same one. UGO laid me (and most everybody else) off in March of 2001 and since then I’ve been traveling, writing and scraping by. Recently a freidn of mine unearthed all his childhood toys and told me to put ‘em up on eBay for him, and it made me think of X-E so I decided to swing by to see if you were still at it. I’m glad to see you are. Now back to sorting and photographing all his LJN WWF Wrestling action figures. This weekend: the enormous plastic bag full of The Real Ghostbusters toys…

Hey Teddy Long, I forgot, why not back up the five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW Champion Booker T! Now I can dig that…SUCKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, wait, I remember he dissed your ass. That’s a damn shame!

Chestnuts roasted by J-Dog @ 08/13/2003 2:21 PM

T. Long–I didn’t mean to keep you down. I just don’t usually have the patience to read your really long posts, that’s all. And because I’m arrogant, I decide that everybody is just like me.

And how do you know I’m a Cracker? Isn’t the internet fun, if anonymous?

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 08/13/2003 3:20 PM

Well, Matt … I read every blinking word of the "Monstroid" article and all I have to say is …Gregory Hines in GHOST? Incorrect. Gregory Hines IS a ghost? Correct! Hoo!

Chestnuts roasted by POP CULTURE DEBRIS @ 08/13/2003 4:04 PM

He didn’t say Greg was in "Ghost," he said Greg looked like me. I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO GO!

Chestnuts roasted by Vincent Schiavelli @ 08/13/2003 4:11 PM

I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!

Chestnuts roasted by Vincent Schiavelli @ 08/13/2003 4:12 PM

You are correct, sir! What the hell do I know … I’ve never watched GHOST all the way through anyway. EVE OF DESTRUCTION, now there was a Gregory Hines movie!

Chestnuts roasted by POP CULTURE DEBRIS @ 08/13/2003 4:25 PM

Get off my train!

Chestnuts roasted by Bogwood @ 08/13/2003 5:59 PM

What’s that, Bogwood? You think I jumped?

THEY PUSHED ME!

Chestnuts roasted by Vincent Schiavelli @ 08/13/2003 6:04 PM

Mat, I humbly request you find, steal, pimp yourself out for or any other method of getting this comercial-

The ultra rare comercial where the rabbit finaly gets a whole bowl of Trix. In it he won a bike race and they had the children send in a card to vote if he could win the trix. I think they got like 15 thousand yes votes.

Now I know this exists and i have a $50 bet with by friend as to its existance. However I need a copy of it to win the money. Please help of poor poor fruit man in his quest.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr Mango @ 08/13/2003 6:16 PM

I’d bet that I have that one somewhere, but even if not, I think you’re right. I definitely remember at least one commercial where he got the Trix. (and more than just a spoonful this time, no tease tastes for the Rabbit)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 08/13/2003 6:19 PM

Mr. Mango, I’m always telling people about that commercial where the silly Rabbit finally got his Trix, but nobody i’ve talked to ever remembers it. I think it aired in the early 90′s, or maybe it was the very late 80′s, if this can help Matt, or anybody else find it.

Chestnuts roasted by Goggles Pizano @ 08/13/2003 8:47 PM

Ok Jason’s been in 3-D too…..

just wanted to point that out…

Anyways, I actually came to terms with the whole F13 movie story line…

See all you do is take out the horrible Jason Goes to Hell and pop that in as the prequel to Freddy Vs Jason…

Now you take Manhatten’s ending and say ok, Jason is a kid…obviously based on Jason X, he grew up, got a jumpsuit, machete and hockey mask and kept on killing…

We’ll call those "The Lost Years" Then earth somehow gets destroyed and Jason gets frozen and bam,you’ve bridged Manhatten to X

Chestnuts roasted by Mike(liberalsmartass on AIM...TALK TO ME MATT) @ 08/13/2003 11:20 PM

That’s nice, he’s still ranked below Freddy though. Doesn’t that just make you want to do the DiGiorno’s Pizza Guy dance? Yeah… that’s all I got.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt (#2?) @ 08/14/2003 2:00 PM

ok, i remember a commercial where the trix rabbit got a vote whether or not he got the trix, although i do not remember any sort of conclusion to that event.

and now that you say there was a bike race, i remember somthing like that as well.
