Knocking Off the Universe! The Insane MotU-KOllection of Ben David Krete

“Knocking Off the Universe” isn’t just the title of a book that I’m dreaming of - a book focussing on the endless subject of MotU-KOs. These’re also the words that describe the feelings that I had in the best way, after my KOllecting friend Ben sent me recent pictures of his man cave. Ben’s been in the KO game for about 5 years. I got to know him through trades, and endless online chats concerning our hobby. Within a handful of years, he put together one of the most definite MotU-KOllections out there. It covers pieces of pretty much everything that has been exploiting the 5.5 muscle action figure genre in the 80s, 90s and probably early 00s. From “common” stuff like Galaxy Warriors and Combo, to uncommon specimen like Defenders of the Planets, End of Time and Turly Gang, to rarities like Speclatron, Space Patrol II, and Sun Man - it’s all there! Prepare to get blown away.

Quite an archive, huh?

I would like to see and also purchase this hypothetical book of MOTU bootlegs. I had no idea there was this much love for Andorians in here.

Oscar nominations are in. There are two films starring Tom Hardy nominated for Best Picture. Tom Hardy was in an Oscar hopeful film last year called Legend in which he played twins, making that a film with two Tom Hardies in it. Legend was not a good film, but including it in the nominations would have simplified things, or given us a variety of Hardy configurations.

We could've gone:

Current configuration: Two Hardies, Two Movies The Efficiency Choice, for Speed: One Movie, Two Hardies The 'Boxer Briefs' (meaning an amalgamation of two options that nevertheless might seem more popular): Two Movies, Three Hardies The Gauntlet: Three Movies, FOUR Hardies

The last one would've been too much, I agree.

Marvel Premiere was the anthology “try out” book that introduced us to Iron Fist, Adam Warlock, and the Scott Lang Ant-Man, but not every character or series introduced was a hit.

It’s very unfortunate, but it seems like the only people openly bible thumping these days are doing so to deprive people like me of their rights. Verses are spat at us, with a haughty defensiveness and a sneer of condescension. It’s starting to instill within me a Pavlovian response to all of it....
