i got this for xmas in 1986! i was 6! used to love making he-man jump from the gate onto the bridge! and taping the mic on my knee to make it sound like skeletor was running after him lol good days
Your Church thought He-Man was evil, or rather, the Snake Mountain toy set? Wow! LOL They're just kids toys. One "Toy" i'd stay away from is a Ouija board! I could see your Church staying away from that, but a He-Man toy set?, weird...
I remember as a kid when my church did not want me to play with He-man because it involved sorcery, violence, and satan worship. I always laughed at my church because they were crazy.
@kidney122398 WTF!!!!!! That's nuts! I bet now, you're a hardened criminal with 6 arm robberies under your belt, 31 stolen cards, drug traffiking, and started a devil worshipping cult!
i know. My folks bought it for me when i was real little. I remember years after i grew outta he man and switched over to gi joes/Alien ect I STILL used use this piece to pretend/play with the other action figures...But by then it'd lost the mic and top piece with snake...Actually I totally forgot about the mic until watching this, and i dont even remember the top piece with snake at all....I read another post that said his came with a slime piece maybe mine did instead ofsnake
I remember finding this in our attic when I was 9 or 10! It belonged to my older brother, and he stashed up up there when he became 14, and I dragged it down and we played around with it, such good memories <3
Now that's Throw Back!!!.....My friend had that thing and we use to curse on it. his mom caught us and we got in so much trouble. lol. And did anyone notice that kid in the back? OMG! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
One of the most vivid memories from my childhood was realizing the huge box in the red wrapping with little santas all over it was for me. Then I tore open a sliver on the top of the box and saw the brilliantly colored purple, black, and blues of snake mountain and exploded with joy and excitement, "I got snake mountain! I got it!" Then the amazing pleasure of actually playing with the toy and speaking through the microphone. Hours and hours of enjoyment what a toy!
WoW...watching these old commercials bring back wonderful memories...:) a time when you didn't have to worry about money, mortgages, cell phones... Being a grown up sucks! I so wish I could go back in time and kick my own ass and tell myself to enjoy my youth. I also wish I could do it all again!
Was anyone else a poor kid in the 80's, it was okay cause every yard sale had loads of he-man toys! i had this but the skull was missing from the top haha
@redwinekline We werent rich by any means. Always had lots of gifts for Christmas/Birthdays though but looking back, Im sure my Grandparents helped out. Totally wished I took advantage of yard/garage sales when I was a kid. Though thats how I started my Star Wars collection.My Mom bought me and my bro the Darth Vader head carrying case with like 30 figures in it. Must have been about 1983 or 84 I think I was about 5 or 6. Still have everything I ever owned.Besides a few I misplaced here n there
I also have many of my original toys from my childhood.(thanks Mom for not throwing them away). I did lose a good chunk of my gi joe's when cobra detinated a nuke and destroyed many heroic joe's. I had a mass burial in my backyard. I know the location of the grave, but never really thought of digging them up. I wonder what they look like now? Many of the joes and he man figures I still have are falling apart at the legs. Is it possible to surgically repair the rubber band holding them together?
@WilliamLonghini Ha ha thats halarious. I babies mine too much to drop a nuke on em. I sweear you should go dig em up. That would be pretty awesome if they were still there. Id do it if I were you. And yes you can just go buy what are called " O -rings " from a hardware store. If you have some broken ones just take them in and ask someone to help find them. Ive done it myself. You can unscrew the back with the proper bit, and youll see the figure come apart.Replace the ring and there ya go.
@tjcurrie I wish I had kept all my old toys in the boxes unopened they are worth a fortune now. true i would of had a very boring childhood, but would be well off now lol
actually I don't regret it because the toys back in the 80's seemed to be awesome and i got hours of enjoyment out of them ... having kids of my own now and seeing the new toys. I don't think they are as good.
@Hope111ification Ya theyre definitely worth quite abit. Ive seen some old Joes, Star Wars, He-Man toys still in the box/package. Makes me wonder who kept them in there ? Kinda weird. I had too many hours of enjoyment out of them aswell. I dont have kids yet myself but youre right that kids nowadays just dont have the cool stuff we did. Theyre missing out for sure.
@TY73Projex From '70-'90 was The Golden Age Of Toys. But like the Golden Ages of ancient history. Today it is a memory & Toys R Us is a mere shell of what it use to be. I'm afraid it & the defunct Lionel Kiddie City Kangaroo are just a memory my friend!
@TY73Projex -- all the money's pumped into video games now. It's a shame I know... I still remember having the ThunderCats Cats Lair as a kid and playing with that for hours. Kids don't play outside or use their imagination anymore - or moreso, aren't encouraged to do so. You hardly see any action figures and playsets are a thing of the past. Give it ten more years and the boys section of Toys R Us will be just shelves of video games.
Yeah that kid on the mic is totally evil. LOL I got this playset for my birthday in 1984 and currently have it put away in safe keeping. Unfortunatley the electronic mic no longer works but it's still a cool playset either way. :)
I had this snake mountain as a kid and I would use the voice changer to crank call people at all hours of the night! hahahah I had one old lady convinced I was satan coming for her!! lmmfao! god bless you Mattel!
@bretthehitman Very funny. I'm sure u scared the hell out of some poor sap! Man I miss the 80's. Except for Internet, DVD's, PC's and Playstation. This current time blows.
I so badly wanted one as a kid, I talked my dad into taking me to the store - one look at the price though and I was dragged out - very hartsore indeed lol
Had Greyskull though - man I wish I still had these toys.
Haha my dad bought "snake mountain" and "castel gray skull" from a yard or something when I was 5, my brother and I had no clue what they were from, and renamed them. Now that I know...there were a crap load of pieces missing.
I remember a friend of mine had this. The commercial was decieving. Not only did it look big but they made that damn microphone sound really loud. It wasn't, it sounded like crap!
I think I bother my parents to buy me Snake Mountain for my birthday this year!!!! I think my father is going to slap me for going through the same shit again, more than 20 years later :-)
I remember these hehe, cool cool. I mean it seems silly, but these things were so cool when you were a kid. G.I. Joe was cool too. I miss my action figures.
Christmas 1985 is when I got Snake Mountain. Still have the video somewhere of my dad putting it together and I was pissed because everyone in my family kept hogging the microphone and it was MINE MINE MINE!!!
Same here. I remember it like yesterday. My mom sent me up stairs to get something on Christmas Eve, while I was up there I peaked under the bed to see if there was wrapping paper and I found Snake Mountain in the box. I couldn't sleep all night knowing I would get it the next day. I layed awake all night waiting, then when X-mas morning came I went out to the living room and found the Mountain completely assembled waiting for me with Kobra Kahn and Two-Bad. Never expected that.
I remember many x-mas eves lying sleepless waiting for my he-man/gi joe, etc. presents to arrive x-mas morning. My "santa" presents would be left by the fireplace unwrapped. I would look down the hall periodically through the night to see if they had arrived. Hold on to those memories.
@WilliamLonghini Its the exact same for me. My Santa presents would be the ones sitting out just with a tag on them. I got Snake Mountain one year, the G.I. Joe Mobat another, etc. ONe Christmas my big bro and I were at the top of the stairs right at midnight figuring that technically its Xmas so Santa must have been by already. My parents were up. " Go to bed." Ha ha. We were wired.They finally caved and gave us each a Joe ( Airtight for me, my bro got Torch ). Awesome memories.
I got this for b-day present. Oh I couldn't believe it! Still as amazing... Then my little brother went and broke every detail, like the chains and bridges and tore the wolf microphone's wires off... I had to hurt him.
I never bought this shit, looked crappy and still does. Me and my dad rather built our own castles.. no... fortresses! (huuuuuge ones:) out of paper mache, then painted it of course. The whole primiordial He-Man stuff sparked our creativity quite much, good times.
Snake Mountain was awesome. Skeletor's purple Panthor was also very cool. One of the most awesome characters in my opinion was Trap Jaw because he had replaceable parts for his arm. I always read the comics, watched the cartoon and bought the figures.
yeah i feel bad for the kids today all they got is yugiho and crap like that... no really awesome toys are coming out but the new transformers and gijoe and stuff like that, but thats just revamps of the awesome ideas in the 80s... i wonder what kinda drugs the toymakers took in the 80s to get these awesome ideas
@Vyruzz2@Vyruzz2 Ya when cartoons and toys was all that mattered. Love the inflection on the kids voice 18sec into it "come he man, come to snake mountain"
@tezaintright I watch these videos to get lost in the past. I long to have that feeling of discovery and imagination. I was born in '77 so the 80's were the prime of my childhood. My only regret is not having the foresight to slow down cherish each moment.
@Vyruzz2 Agreed. I got this baby for Christmas when I was like 7. Probably my most memorable present, though I had tons. I still have mine along with all my figures. Totally wish I could go back. Life's good but man those were the days.
Whoa!!!! Major flashback. I got this toy for Christmas after pining after it for the better part of forever... or so it seemed to my 8-year old mind. Seeing this suddenly brought back a flood of memories.
lol...aw man good ol' Snake Mountain. I asked for Snake Mountain for Christmas of 84 and ended up being scared to death of it!!! lol The mi really use to freak me out. That was the killer right there! Long live Snake Mountain! lol
Awesome. Like ScinLaeca, I too got Snake Mountain for Christmas. That was like in late 1984. Now this is 80's. Kids of the 90's and the new millennium, eat your heart out.
Oh my god. I remember the Christmas I got Snake Mountain, and I kept reciting the Vincent Price monologue from Michael Jackson's Thriller into the microphone...lol. Now THAT is 80's.
Awesome :) My cousins and I would record ourselves on Maxell cassettes saying ridiculous things when we weren't taping "Thriller" off the radio. The Wolf's Head was my first effects-box, heh...
Snake Mountain was my 6th birthday gift. I still remember opening it that morning before school!

I had this, and to this day I am unsure of (yet impressed by) how that mic worked. It was weird and tinny, the cord was a thin wire.

Snake Mountain was awesome. Skeletor's purple Panthor was also very cool. One of the most awesome characters in my opinion was Trap Jaw because he had replaceable parts for his arm. I always read the comics, watched the cartoon and bought the figures.
The 80's had the best cartoons.

Breaks my heart knowing I'll never get to relive that time... Man the 80's was such a great time to be a kid!

yeah i feel bad for the kids today all they got is yugiho and crap like that... no really awesome toys are coming out but the new transformers and gijoe and stuff like that, but thats just revamps of the awesome ideas in the 80s... i wonder what kinda drugs the toymakers took in the 80s to get these awesome ideas

@tezaintright I watch these videos to get lost in the past. I long to have that feeling of discovery and imagination. I was born in '77 so the 80's were the prime of my childhood. My only regret is not having the foresight to slow down cherish each moment.

@Vyruzz2 Agreed. I got this baby for Christmas when I was like 7. Probably my most memorable present, though I had tons. I still have mine along with all my figures. Totally wish I could go back. Life's good but man those were the days.

Whoa!!!! Major flashback. I got this toy for Christmas after pining after it for the better part of forever... or so it seemed to my 8-year old mind. Seeing this suddenly brought back a flood of memories.
Damn, Marcel Proust was right! :-)

Awesome. Like ScinLaeca, I too got Snake Mountain for Christmas. That was like in late 1984. Now this is 80's. Kids of the 90's and the new millennium, eat your heart out.

Oh my god. I remember the Christmas I got Snake Mountain, and I kept reciting the Vincent Price monologue from Michael Jackson's Thriller into the microphone...lol. Now THAT is 80's.

Awesome :) My cousins and I would record ourselves on Maxell cassettes saying ridiculous things when we weren't taping "Thriller" off the radio. The Wolf's Head was my first effects-box, heh...
