Only recently I made a shocking discovery. Webstor is the MOTU figure with the most intimidating face! Not Snake face, who gave me nightmares with his snakes-in-his-eyes. Not Skeletor, not Beastman or Hordak. Webstor has something, a proper expression maybe. And huge red eyes, a nose that isn’t one, especially not a spider’s, and huge fangs. The cartoon version in the 80s was foolish and annoying though. I believe he was even one of the most dumb henchman in the cartoon.

Maybe it’s a blessing that I never had a Webstor as kid. I bought one as young adult. Including the most annoying, but also cool rope and hook tool, but without the orange gun. Climbing equipment for the real Spiderman. When you kept your Masters of the Universe in a box, Webstor must have caused problems regularly.

His dark blue color puts him in company with Skeletor himself, Dragstor, Mantenna, Mekaneck, and Spikor. Interesting how rare blue was in the toyline! The contrast of blue with red and orange is great. The UV light made the red pop out even more!

Spider wasn’t the most popular theme in MOTU, only Spydor comes to my mind. Of course no-one ever thought Mantenna is a spider…

Quality wise I can’t say anything negative, though I’m sure the rope didn’t last long in many kid’s collections.
