Thread: Masters of the Universe

I was wondering, is anyone else here into Masters of the Univers?

In my youth I was an avid collector of MOTU. I used to have a large collection of figures, some of the beasts, most of the action figures, castle grayskull, battle bones, and some other things I'm probably forgetting or can't remember the name of. When I got older and didn't play with them much anymore, I gave the entire lot away to the youngest kid of a single mother. Her other 3 kids all went to summer camps but he was too young and had to stay at home (no money to do anything else). My mother mentioned that the kid liked he-man so I thought that a big collection of MOTU stuff they couldn't afford to buy would brighten up his holiday to no end. I gave it all away and it did. I got a thank you letter he had dictated to his mom, who'd drawn it in pencil, after which he traced the letters in pen.

Anyway, recently I found a he-man forum online where I asked if there is official artwork of knives, because it would be cool to make a high quality replica (not just a showpiece). In the process, I showed my youngest daughter some online pictures to show her what I used to play with, and she immediately asked if I could get a couple of the more monster-y action figures. She is the one who also likes monsters and LOTR style movies. So now I am looking around for old MOTU characters. as it happens, this weekend there is a comic con in Antwerp where I am going to take her to I think. It would be cool if she ends up playing with the action figures that I loves in my youth!

And so I was wondering: is (or was) anyone else here into masters of the universe?

I loved the He-man cartoon as a kid, had quite a few of the toys too. Man just had a flash back of my 5th birthday getting he-man and battle axe! Always had a bit of a crush on She ra...

I had a snake mountain playset, but I also had a He-man that talked to me every morning and every evening:

PS am I doing the youtube embed wrongly? It seems to goof up the post and thread formatting

Brings me back! I was also a Thunder Cats fan. The wife and I just had a kid and have been looking at cartoons for kids and both of us agree that the new ones blow. Would be great to find a place to get all the cartoons we grew up with.

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!!

Gee Bruno and I thought YOU were the master of the Universe or was it just SRP.

Bruno , I didn't but one of my sons was into it a lot! he still has his collection of them and hes 39 years old still likes to show it off, my cartoons were a little older and didn't have a whole lot of collecting going on, but I still have my lone ranger lunch box tc
