Spotted Online – Unofficial Masters of the Universe Mantenna Upgrade

When I wrote Masters of the Universe: Will Third Party Manufacturers Fill the Void? last year there were a handful of assorted unofficial Masters of the Universe toys and accessories, but since that time it seems as if more and more creators are stepping into the pool. And now, thanks to this post at The Fwoosh, things get even more exciting with a completely unofficial upgrade by Kevin Kosse. This is the sort of unofficial work I enjoying seeing most, since it adds to an existing toy and gives us options that we just cannot expect from a company like Mattel.

How did an upgrade kit appear on the market before the official release of the toy? I have no idea, and without time to devote to sorting things out all I can do is wonder what is going on. Did Mattel release Mantenna somewhere earlier this year and I missed it?
