I'd like to here from fans of the original MOTU line and it's sequel: The New Adventures of He Man.
For me, my earliest MOTU memory was the classic Castle Grayskull Commercial that showcased the original assortment, I didn't know who He-Man was, or what a Skeletor was ( I was around 8 back in 82) All I knew is I wanted what I saw on that commercial. FLASH FORWARD ALMOST 30 YEARS, and I'm watching the qubo channel late with my sons and HE-MAN comes on and both my sons ask, Who's HE-MAN? I have a sizable collection coming thanks to a friend here (*Thanks) but now I'm back collecting the originals and I'm wondering how many of my fellow Tankers Collect any of the MOTU lines. Who are your favorite characters? Do you have a favorite version of the various lines, do you have customs to show off? And why does't the TFW2005,Hisstank, Thundercats, toyark family have a Masters of the Universe page? Let's hear from you!

donty worry man Ill buoy this thread up-80s toy freak right here.
I was born in 1980 so a good deal of MOTU passed me by BUT I had some and around my 6th birthday things really took off.I was really sick around then and on my way home from the hospital my Grandad O Rourke(who was a super generous man)brought me toy shopping to ease my pain LOL...... he bought me the 4 Original Horde members,Thunder punch He Man,The Fright Zone and Bashasaurus.then for my Birthday a week later because of my newfound love for He Man I got loads more stuff including Snake Mountain and about 12/13 figs.from my parents Aunts Uncles etc. one of my greatest toy memories EVER.as an adult in summer 2007 I started collecting everything up again(got all the figures,vehicles and playsets loose) and kept it all until Christmas.man it was some craic opening that all up. LOVE Vintage MOTU.The New Adventures stuff didnt really land here....I never had any of it except for the 2 legged walker that belonged to Skeletor and a cousin in England brought that home for me. great topic BTW. |

I remember that commercial! I believe that was the very first MOTU toy commercial before the Filmation show or anything else. I remember clearly that the moment the add came on, I was frozen like a deer in the headlights, completely stunned by what I was seeing. Shortly after-wards, my uncle bought me my first He-man toy; the He-man and Battlecat box set. We need a good He-Man site, signing up for He-Man.org is like trying to join the C.I.A. |

I love the vintage He-Man stuff. As a kid, I probably had more He-Man than I did GI Joe, actually. I fondly remember watching a recorded episode of He-Man on repeat (it had Dragoon and Dre-Elle in it and featured He-Man and Orko going back to Trolla--still a favorite episode) and running around, turning whatever I could find into sword, pulling the booties out of my winter boots and crossing two belts around me. I did that shit a lot.
I collected all of the re-issued vintage stuff, the 200X stuff (a really great update, I think both in style of design and execution) but had to sell it all off when I "got out" of collecting. Now I'm full swing into the Classics stuff. But the originals will forever hold a place in my heart.

The MOTU bug has bit me again as well xSwamiJayx, I am eagerly awaiting a trade I did here on the tank to show up with a lot of original stuff in it, my sons loved the 2000 animated series and when I told them I was getting some MOTU stuff they are both like "Dad can we play with them when the package gets here" I love that, that my kids like something that I have such fond memories of.
