The Christmas I received HeMan, Skeletor and Castle Greyskull was a very special time in my life. These toys where so much different from anything I had played with in the past. I especially loved reading the mini comics, so I understood who the new character was, when I received them as gifts. Plus the accessories where bigger and didn't get lost as easy. It seemed with each new offering of figures that the excitement got stronger. Great Video and thank you for your time and effort in producing them.
I'm a comic book artist and creator. I've always been into Thor, Hulk, batman ect. And I currently have over 70 characters of my own creation. But long before I was into marvel or DC it was all about He-man and the masters of the universe. I remember waking up on Christmas mornings still half asleep, bumping into walls as I made my way to the living room like a 5 yr old whino because my sister woke me up at like 5am screaming "Santa came!" Once I entered the living room my eyes would clear and light up brighter than any bulb (glass) on the tree. All the latest motu action figures would be lined up and castle grayskull and snake mountain fully assembled. And the cookies and milk we left Santa would be gone. Just a swallow of milk and a few cookie crumbs left. The excitement, and surprise was so overwhelming that our squeals of joy would wake our parents. Lol. Id play with them until id fall asleep on the floor in a nest of action figures, swords, shields and vehicles. I grew up and left all of those toys behind. But now I'm a husband, father and recently became a grand dad. I've started collecting the entire motu original vintage toyline. I have them in display cases, mounted on the wall like fine art because they represented such a wonderful time and a large part of my child hood. Thanks mom and dad. I love you

i hope when i have kids they will have cool toys like this.
My dad used to have a cinefilm camera and captured the moment in 1985 when I unwrapped a curiously big box on Christmas day to discover Castle Greyskull inside. I was four years old and couldn't believe what I was holding in my hands. It was the happiest, most vivid memory from my early childhood and it's caught on film.
Great toys those were the Days so Many toys and Great cartoons...keep up the Good work 👍
I remember having a MOTU theme for my 5th birthday, so the invitations and cups and plates etc had pictures of He-man and Skeletor.
My favorite was Trap jaw. Got it for Christmas and was so excited. I remember when easter rolled around we always got lil chocolates shaped like eggs so naturally in my great imagination it became a football and he-man and skeletor were QB's for their teams.
Hello again - thanks for another trip down memory lane. Between my younger brother and I, we acquired He-Man, Skeletor, Castle Greyskull, Trapjaw, Beastman, Man-at-Arms, Beast-Man, Man-E-Faces and probably a few others I've forgotten. I loved the mini-comic books that came with each figure, and the even the smell of the Masters of the Universe line was sort of unique (maybe it was something in the plastic, paint or boxes).
Remember watching this on stv about 430 in the early 80s
FYI, Roger Sweet's prototype was based on a drawing by Mark Taylor. Mark was really the designer for all the early toys, except for the vehicles. Nice video!
I remember,I always loved watching He-man in the 80's & never owning any of the He-man figures,I'd go to the Toy shops pick up the boxes with the figures,and just wish I could afford them. They definitely were toys like no other,so yes if I can get my hands on any of them now,I sure will do. (The original Transformers figures from the 80's is another collection im gonna try find too. Great nostalgic video by the way. 🙂
I remember when Xmas day came I always woke up at
Amazing video
I was an 80s child and I enjoyed He-Man and She-Ra. They don't make cartoons like this anymore. Also remember the toy and the toy line.
well worth the re watch awesome as normal well made ,,,,a huge thank you
I'm 16 and I love Masters of The Universe. I've seen all the 80's cartoon,the 90's cartoon and the 2002 reboot along with the new Netflix She-Ra series. I own quite a lot of the classics line by Mattel too. My intrest in the series started when I was 4 and my dad gave me his old figures from the 80's and he had quite a lot too. My favourite characters from MOTU are Man-at-arms,The sourceress and Skeletor.
Cool video,watching this again after 2 years!
Thank you very much for evoking fond childhood memories from the 80's and the He-Man figures, which remain my all-time favourite.
Really good video. I absolutely loved the Masters of the Universe as a child. I saved every last penny I got from my pocket money, doing chores and mowing lawns to buy new he-man toys every month. Sadly I ended up giving them all to my brother when I grew out of them in the late 80's. They would have been worth a lot today if I'd kept them.
