[redneckpoop]

[damontitus]

"You put it together"....yeah right. More like my Dad put it together while I slept the post-Christmas euphoria off.

[CapitalBhoy78]

Fuck the huns!

[DarkApoca]

I remember when I got my Castle Greyskull when I was visiting my grandparents, I did get castle greyskull while my bro got Skeletor's base

[GrimmSamurai]

I remember as a kid I really wanted this toy, but my parents were too broke to afford it (or too cheap, lol). But I used a cardboard box, decorated the outside to look like castle Greyskull, some dollhouse furniture for the inside, and even made a trapdoor for the figures to fall thru. Kids back then when they couldn't get what they wanted, used their imaginations to make do...and it kinda saddens me that most of todays youth don't know what thats like.

[TalkinXbox]

Anyone else want to punch Dad in the face?

[pixeldan]

i miss my CASTLE GRAYSKULL!!!!

[Hakuron25]

In Germany we also loved this toys. Oh my... What do have kids today?... Pokemon-Cards and PSPs or Nintendo DS. At this time kids had something to touch and to stimulate their fantasy and imagination.

@Hakuron25

I was in Germany back between the years of 1981 to 84. At the time I was there, I saw these toys there. But, because the Armed Forces Network didn't have advertisements on TV back then, I had no idea what the hell I was looking at, other than some strange looking toys. It wasn't until I returned stateside when I learned and understood what He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was. Better late than never to know how cool the toys were.

My dad bought this for me when it came out and he still has the box it came in (filled with paperback books) which is in perfect condition. The price tag is still on it too, $34.95. No idea what happened to the castle but, thanks to Dad, I still have the box!!

[squigg2k7]

i have a story about this toy...which ill gladly tell you now.....me and my uncle and a bunch of other folks i dont remember went to a yard sale years ago and he just had to go to the bathroom...and that was a bad mistake...i got this toy...a bunch of other he man toys...and i walked away happy that day......im hoping my uncle will see this...i imagine a dramatic camera pull away and him screaming into the air with his fists raised...lol

[KcLegendary]

Awesome classic,this will for ever be the most rememberable ERA ...of my time being just a kid... back then.

[IRMoon]

OMG! How ANYONE actually bought this thing based on the commercial I'll never know. I think it must have been sold on the power of cool that he-man exuded.

[RSQViper]

It was He-Man. Back then they could have been taking a steaming pile on this thing in the commercial and us kids STILL would have wanted this. =p

[wlt777]

BEST TIME of my life!

[KingHarkinian]

i used to have this.. with tons of figures and all that.. i wonder what happened to it..

[BRAKESUK80]

i think i sold all mine to buy games when i got older

[phileustace]

I had so much fun playing he-man as a kid. Born in 1977, this was in my prime as a kid ! Fantastic. Had so much fun ... I remember the gun, chair and trap door .... why oh why didnt I keep this wonderful set? Surely it would be a collectors item today !!

[RussFx]

This was the commercial that basically made me a converted He-Man fan. Looking at it now, they sure make that castle look huge! Wow! Talk about skilled photographers :)

[plutonium93437]

This was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid.

[JAF1970]

Even when I was 11, I wanted to smack the dad in the commercial. What an a-hole.

[gagl16]

i love the way he says 'you have to put the castle together'

[nubsmagee]

...the only action figures I ever had are on this commercial. Boring stuff.

[coondogtheman1234]

My best friend had this i remember there was this mic on it that made your voice all wierd id like to get my hands on just the mic system unit

[eeyoredill]

Snake Mountain (Skeletor's hideout) had the microphone. Hella cool.

[coondogtheman1234]

Yeah i wish i had the one my friend had, id mod the mic circuits amd maybe build a vintage ipod speaker out of the mic unit so my music from my ipod has that echo sound, or just leave it as is

[HoneyNVinegar]

My brother had this... omg, I'd forgotten all about it...

[becky2shoes]

I never got this! I got the Crystal Castle, though, which was some consolation.

[jpowell180]

I have to say, even though the cartoon was produced to sell these freakin' toys, it was a seriously high-quality work of animation!

Some of the storylines were even great - of course, they had J. Micheal Straycinzki (creator of Babylon 5) writing for them.

I still think Orko should have been killed, though.

[Merkova]

I agree. They were basically half-hour toy commercials but it was some kick-ass animation and I loved that show as a kid. But yeah, Orko needs to be banished to some sort of netherworld where he can live among his own kind. *cough*JarJar*cough*
