GO FIGURE BLOG # 16: HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

[D. MARQUIS]

HE MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE WAS AN ENJOYABLE CARTOON THAT WE WERE GRACED WITH IN THE MID 80'S. IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW ACTION FIGURE LINES THAT GAVE US LOTS OF VARIETY IN CHARACTERS WITH BASIC BUT COOL ACCESSORIES AND VEHICLES.

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW WAS OF COURSE  WHEN "PRINCE ADAM" WOULD PULL OUT HIS FAMOUS SWORD AND SHOUT "I HAVE THE POWERRRRRR!!!" AND BEGIN HIS TRANSFORMATION INTO HE- MAN THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE- COMPLETE WITH A POWERFUL ALL- OVER FULL BODY TAN (THAT HIS ALTER EGO LACKED COMPLETELY). TO BE HONEST THIS WAS A STORY THAT I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ON MOST DAYS BUT I STILL WATCHED BECAUSE THE ANIMATION WAS PRETTY GOOD.

I DIDN'T PARTICULARLY CARE FOR THE BADDIES (SKELETOR AND HIS MINIONS)- BUT AGAIN IT WAS WHAT WE HAD. THE RE- VAMP OF THE ACTION FIGURES IN THE 2000'S DID JUSTICE TO THE LINE AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES OF FIGURES ALL HAD THE EXACT MOLD....LIKE WE COULDN'T SEE THIS. CHECK OUT THE SHOTS BELOW I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE FROM A CONVENTION SOME YEARS BACK-  

NEW FIGURES ALONG WITH A REVAMPED ANIMATION SERIES THAT IS STILL POPULAR TODAY.
ALTHOUGH I PERSONALLY COULD NEVER TAKE "ORKO" ANY TYPE OF SERIOUS....
