When it comes to vintage-style Masters of the Universe customs, our friends, Toyboys, Inc., from Buenos Aires, Argentina, are one of the best around. Their style is not only exceptionally clean and polished, but also 100% in line with what Mattel was making towards the end of the original MOTU run. These two pieces, then, could fit seamlessly into your vintage collection.
I’m sure that I’ve said it before, but it’s important to note that some of the favorite subjects of vintage MOTU customizers are those amazing Filmation cartoon villains that never quite made their way into toy form. These characters typically include Icer, Strongarm, Fang Man, and the Filmation version of Clawful. Toyboys Inc has, once again, done an outstanding job of bringing the last two characters to life (or at least to plastic).
Check out Fang Man in action in this MOTU “minisode” version of The Time Corridor (he pops up about 30 seconds in):
Check out Clawful in action in the episode Castle of Heroes:

Toyboys, Inc is a custom toy collective from that hotbed of Masters of the Universe goodness, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They’ve been at it for a while now, and are truly masters of their craft. The primary customization focus of Toyboys, Inc. is vintage-style MOTU figures. They take particular pride in emulating the style that Mattel was employing for these figures, particularly late in the original run. Look carefully at these images and pay attention to things like variation in seal coating finish (to simulate the use of different types of plastic) and the level of accuracy with which they have brought many of the Filmation characters to life.
