I was born in 82’, these were the first toys I ever remember really having an impact on my childhood, to this day when I pick up certain MOTU figs I’m literally transported to vivid memories. Great video!

I love it as well! These toys made such an impact on me back in the day its such a joy to hold em again! 🤓👌

Whoa .... all figures r in great conditions. Simply beautiful.

3. Scare Glow - Scarier looking than Skeletor, and glows in the dark! 2. Extendar - His design is like no other in the toy line, no re-used parts, he's a robotic Knight, and he doubles in size! 1. Fisto - He's super manly, and I've just always loved the idea of 1 huge metal fist. I always pretended he could KO anyone with 1 punch.

I’m a 78’ baby and grew up with all of them, but I absolutely love beast man, skelatore and my plain Jane wonder bread/ savage he man!

Awesome 🤘

Was born in 74 so I was around obviously for MOTU and one Christmas morning I walk out to the living room to see Castle Grayskull,Battle Ram,He-Man, Skeletor,Man-At-Arms,and Trap Jaw it was the best Christmas ever ! My top 3 would have to be 1.Man-E-Faces 2.Trap Jaw 3.Tri-Klops for years after that I purchased many other figures and traded back n forth with my best friend together we had this massive collection I just recently purchased off ebay in Near mint with all weapons Zodac,Buzz-Off,Fisto,Jitsu,Mantenna,and Leech i just started collecting them again at 48 years young lol

Excellent video thanks! ❤. My top ten vintage motu 1. Sssqueeze 2. Rattlor 3. Moss Man 4. Stinkor 5. Skeletor 6. Scare Glow 7. Modulok 8. Grizzlor 9. Leech 10. Clawful

Good old Tri-Klops. First action figure I ever got. Christmas Eve 1983.

Nice list Ed. My top 3 figures might be: Ninjor, Thunder Punch He-Man, Dragon Blaster Skeletor.

Dragon Blaster Skeletor is so cool, I had moved to Thundercats before Ninjor came out. I remember having Thunder Punch He-man as a kid but I hated it, had to put sword in wrong hand and it fell out etc and I was not really into cap guns.

Elementary school would let us go at 3:00 pm we would all run home to watch He-Man that started at 3:00pm

Skeletor was my very first MOTU action figure. I wound up with probably 30. My sister and I loved playing with Ram Man, and if you had his legs pushed up in his body, you could spin him on his head like a top lol. I actually came up with and drew a character named Sawtor, who had saws for weapons and a toothed metal jaw. I sent it to Mattel, and they send back a nice thanks but no thanks letter. The Trapjaw figure came out within a year of that. Fuckers. I never saw any of those snake ones though.

The Snake Men line was awesome, among my favorite in the 80's from MOTU

Mosquitor is soo good 🤘

I was born in 78'. I remember waking up 6 am wearing my cowboy pajamas that my great grand mother had sewed for me, grab a bowl of cereal and fling myself onto the couch and watch- He-Man and the masters of the universe. I watched every show and between my brother and I, we had every toy that was produced. Even the ladies, like Teela, Evil-Lyn and Sorceress. It was a show of good vs evil and Good would win. For a little boy this was key into understanding that there is something important to doing the right thing. This would be echoed in almost all 80's cartoons and He-Man was the first. AND the best. Even if he was a brute of a man with all his muscles and could bench press a mountain, he was gentle in spirit and would come to the aid of the weak and lift them up. That is a true hero. And then he would slink away and pretend to be Adam so his friends and family could remain safe. I wish in ways, we could return to some of the old cartoons, flop on our favorite couch and be transported back when our hearts just needed unbroken heroes to save the day.

Sorceress is pretty epic 🤘

I was born in '73 so these were very popular in my childhood. I had a lot of the figures back in the day. To pick only 3 is extremely tough, but I'd have to say my number 1 is Skeletor just because his voice was so epic. My number 2 would definitely be Trapjaw, And my number 3 is quite a jump in years but I gotta go with Grizzlor. 😅

My favorite was the skunk guy, but ironically not one I owned; I did have MerMan though. He-Man was WAY after my time so I only had what I could find second hand. I remember visiting an antique mall that had a bunch for $3 a pop but my mom only let me get one! Of my small childhood crew I think the favorites were MerMan, Buzz Off, the lobster guy and a super beat up Skeletor :)

Saurod is a severely underrated figure that I'm surprised more people don't love. Even if you allow for the fact that a lot of people didn't like the movie thst spawned him, he was easily the best designed new character, and I think the spark shooting "laser breath " was one of the coolest action features of the vintage line.

Great list Ed. I had Triclops and Hordak from your list. My top 5 would be Trapjaw, Modulak, Snout Spout, (the extending knight guy, can't remember his name) and Rio Blast, of the figures I had in my collection.

I'm old school MOTU so I prefer Skeletor to Hordak. Scare Glow was awesome though and I wish he had been earlier in the line. He would have been one of my favorites for sure. Glow in the dark skeletons are cool especially when your a kid. I would pick one up but there very expensive these days and I didn't have it growing up. I checked out on MOTU around 1985. Great list

You need Skeltor and Herman to make the sword

1. Orko (sure the size of Orko is way too big compared to the cartoon, doubt he makes many top 5-10-15-20 lists let alone #1, but he holds a very nostalgic place in my heart. This figure was so hard to find when it came out. I got it for Christmas that year from my grandmother. She would always find me the hardest to find figures...pretty much is the reason I had so many awesome toys as a kid. It remains one of my favorite Christmas presents ever. She passed away in 2017 and I have Orko sitting next to a framed photo of her.) 2. Trap Jaw 3. Skeletor 4. Man-E-Faces (first figure I ever got) 5. Scare Glow (by 1987 MOTU was winding down as was my obsession so as a kid I didn't get all of the figures from that final wave including Scare Glow. Didn't own it as a kid but always thought it was one of the coolest looking figures)
