Plastic Treasures:The Many Versions of He-Man

[minski76]

Good memories.... I certainly share your sentiment that MotU were very important parts of my childhood. My absolute favorite toys....

(But that movie - that NEVER happened! ;) Terrible thing!)

(But that movie - that NEVER happened! ;) Terrible thing)!

[TheLexilium80]

I so want to come over to your house and play for hours on end. Thank you for this post by the way, I myself had the first version of HE-MAN. Loved it. Geting it for birthday is one of my happiest childhood memories.

[wirlookz6]

exelente video pero faltaron las versiones clasicas las ultimas

[SuperKrumpa]

I loved watching he man on tv in the 80s. I had the original he man and bought most of the others from car boot sales. Still got them stored away now with castle grey skull and snake mountain that had a mic on it(think it was called that). Anyway I discovered sport then girls so I have no emotional connection now benders

[Funnytexasman]

I had all the American versions of heman but the original heman i had the battle heman and the one with the metalic silver but I always wanted the original when I was a kid I even had the prince adam figure.

[uhltron]

Damn! I lost he-man at the doctor's office when i was 5. I did'nt have Cringer so he rode around on a cheap rubber triceratops toy i had.

[123cas123cas]

he-man figures from the 1980s are very Cool.

I collect them to.

[troy0619]

IF YOU AINT GOT NOTHING TO SAY GOOD ABOUT THIS COOL CHARACTER, BUY YOURSELF A CONAN SWORD AND STICK UP YOUR ASS

[ylesfitz8839]

Thank you I will check out comic con

[psychobeefstick]

thanks..awesome vid

[cyberyanmar]

even with the mos powerful fuckin sword of the universe he would never shed his foes to pieces

[kingsonic9u2b1]

I love HeMan its waaayyyy better than these new stupid cartoons, i am a huge fan of the 80s cartoon and i have ALL of the 80s heman figures except flying fist heman.

I also collect the MOTUC and not that much of the 200x line but the 80s line and cartoon will be the best

[BearBully]

In the 80's it cost me about 10€ , say 14$ ... which was pretty much for a 7 year old kid ... but they were decent toys ... and I doubt it that they were made in China. It was more quality than the toys I know have to buy for my son. Fun to see those back.

[darkworldinc]

DId not know it, but I had all them He-Men but the light one.

[Liam31]

Now that was a blast from the past! I remember going to Woolco with my Dad and buying the original He-Man for my 6th birthday in 1981. For the next 3 years all I wanted for Christmas or birthdays was a Masters of the Universe toy. I had quite the collection by the time I lost interest in them. I think I might go on ebay and buy the first few I ever got when I was a kid. He-man, Man at Arms, Skeletor, Mer-Man and Beast-Man :D

[kc86er]

He-Man was the COOLEST, MUST HAVE figure for every boy in the 80's. I was born in 1986 (the year of the fourth variation) and I wasn't around during the peak of the He-Man craze. But I do remember seeing reruns of the cartoon on the USA Network in the late 80's-early 90's. And my older brother had He-Man figures (from his childhood) that he let me play with; they were really rad.

[mk1212wq]

It amazing how attach u can get to this peaces of plastic and rubber! I was a child in the 80's and I think that inside of me that child is still alive! We are the pop culture, Nobody can take that away from us! Let's keep living this!

[yousif4]

3 people don't have any of these action figures!!

[nikonektor1]

im getting my room almost done, he man was the best ever. when im don i hope you like it. the theme is just a toy them. the walls are purple and the carpet just happened to be green , yes the jokers colours.

[SuperHatermaker]

i want one

[wittynameguy]

Great freakin video! Its nice to see you post these so i know we nostalgia lovers arent alone out there. I used to take good care of my toys but while in HS, my parents cleaned out a closet i had of HEMAN toys. etc. my parents just gave them away to some kid next door who was breaking them left and right. it just hurt me damn it haha. I got home from school and was able to save my GIJOE, TMNT, XMen toys before being given away.

[Dariun75]

oh my god. In germany there was never so many differnt He- Mans released. I only had the legacy one from 81 and the one wiht this armour you can damage twice on the chest. The other ones - never seen. Thanks for uploading this video. Great job.

[markiduval]

Great review! :)

[dave997]

my jesus freak parents dubbed he-man "demonic" so i was NEVER allowed to watch them. I missed out bigtime but still played with the toys when i went over to my friends house

[ruitorre]

When I saw this video 2 or 3 years ago when I was looking for motu videos moved by nostalgia I decided to go on and collect at least 4 (he-man, battle cat, skeletor and phantor)... well I ended up collecting almost all vintage collection and now I'm collecting Motu Classics witch are much more than toys for me! So this video was for me the start line for my collection that is not a big or a great one but is loved. Thank you Dan!!

[maestroallan]

Great job!!! More power and God bless!

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Man, I love this video, I joined Pulp Culture Network.com, & plan to start a Classics He-Man collection, I'm guessing it's never too late, He-Man is the best, would love a Vintage He-Man collection as well, i'd have a lot, only if I wouldn't have thrown all mine out as a kid, like an idiot, LOL, Love the vids man, Thanks for the memories, & for getting me into the great Hobby of Action Figure Collecting again. Peace.

[jaydub1able]

this was great like u i loved he-man and she-re do more please

[Strap1205]

Thanks for this cool video! I still got my "He-Man" and "Skeletor" figures! From the first release!!! They are so nice handpainted and they don´t look so crappy like the figures that came later on! I´m proud that I can call them my own after all these years! :-)

[theprimo100]

did the movie skeletor look good?

[Airox2009]

What a great video! I always wanted some of these figures as a kid but only got Heman. At the moment I`m a huge Bravestarr collector. Got a nice vintage Skeletor recently only to find out that these toys have a real strong smell coming from the used plastizicers. The Bravestarr figures are more or less scentless in comparison. I`m a litte insecure at the moment if I should collect those great looking vingate MOTU`s that might me harmful to ones own health in the end.

[mgiunto1]

you brought a tear to my eye

[dueyfinnn]

man i loved my food fighters

[montoyag76]

Dude , wasn't there another version of He-Man ? Where he was in space ? He had green transparent weapons ? He wasn't as buff either . And I think he had a headband too . I know I had one of these . And skeletor Was different too.

[ilvin]

i have one of these...

[ukclash]

i just have the first Two!good old Times^^

[charlietuna34]

cool...brings back memories..thanks man!

[LymricTheAnomaly]

wasnt there another he man version? one with a backpack grappling hook feature with a string that you could tie to something and he would guide himself up by/

[nightslash3535]

Battle Armor He-Man is my favorite variant.

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Laser He-Man Kicks Ass. LOL

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

I had that second one, with the battle damage feature, I had Skeletor like that as well, wish I would've saved them now. Peace.

[metalkat77]

Remembering my child hood

[chameloooon]

nice to watch some of these old masters of the universe toys here.. i collected many in my childhood , but sadly my dad must have beeing happen to thow or burned  all my figures ,sneake mountain and castle grayskull :( i guess things like that have happend to many others..

[SENBIE]

the he man toys look like there easy to break in the 80's line lol.

[rogermor1]

i envy your collection i wish i would of saved mine lol cool vid

[kleinundleise]

I have the one at 2:02! Allthough it was probably my sis' toy (who's 12 years older than me and born in the mid 70's), remember nothing was more fun than turning He-Man's tor5so watching he become more and more disfigured.

[SmashVentura]

my pleasure man.. as you might be able to tell from the videos on my page (including the ones about my 80s show) i love the 80s... g8 job and nice to meet ya Dan :)

[SmashVentura]

i host a online radio show called Were Living in The 1980s, and i must say your video brought back memories to me that i to bring back to my listeners....bravo...please continue to make more of these :)

[Mandalorian30]

Thanks! I appreciate that! I do plan to do more similar to this, but haven't gotten around to it quite yet. All of the regular reviews take all of my time. :) I've been planning to do a similar video about TMNT for quite some time.

Thanks again for the comment!

-Dan

[nightslash3535]

I'm a kid of the 80s and these figures are GOLD at the time they were released.

[thespiderwebbs1]

@Mandalorian30 i have a large collection myself in storage i cant wait to get them out and display them thanks for the memories

[bananenmonster95]

Hello from Germany. I loved He Man too.

[djfueler]

such a nice well planned video, my 5 year old son is desperate to get some figures as I bought him volume 1 & 2 on dvd, I think a movie could be done a lot better than the dolph lungren version set on earth.

[jimmysherriff]

The Slime Pit, I had one of those!

[WarshipAngelus]

The sad thing about watching this video which makes me very sad is the fact that I had all of those He-Man toys except the one made in Italy. I wish my parents bought me two boxs of each figure, so that today I could sell them for a alot of money on Ebay.

[JackSparcks]

Great video!

[Starwarstreky]

Awesome video.

[BB6VTiS]

My He-Man action figure fought against the lil barbie puppet toy owned by  the neighbour girl. And he WON!

Miss the 80s.

[ashu1700]

Grt video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[SBrunings77]

You just did a great job! Makes me get the feeling that I'm a kid again for a moment :) Thank you.

[ABBA2007ab]

This is a very nice document on He Man Plastic toys! Its really a tribute to our childhood in 80's. For my self I had the first version of He Man and had a chnace to watch the movie as well :)

Those were the days we were crazy to catch his toons in TV and remember the small quarter sized toon books and the stickers!!!

[MadeinWolfsburg]

Masters o t U was the best toy ever produced....it was very important for me as child...

[trustusyeahright]

[primohomme]

This is awesome!!! thank you!!! could you do one of She-Ra as well?

[tatalpha123]

Thank you so much for posting this. Im 34 now and grew up on all these treasures. I completely forgot about half of these characters. Seeing this triggered so many great memories and feelings.. Thank you.

[chreberle]

@tatalpha123 yeah, same here.. I'm 33 and when I was like 12 years old I thought I'm a grown up now and gave them away... BAD MISTAKE!!!!

[PickPikmin]

That song at the beginning sounded so familiar! I just cant remember what game it's from!

[basiljun808]

the best! thanks

[Strap1205]

Wow, it was a great time when the original figures came out! I had a lot of them. Nowadays I just got the original He-Man and Skeletor - a nice eye catcher from my cupboard!

Where did you get the music from this video? Is it from the DVD´s??

[Leedah337]

Nice! Great memories. I'm definately going to start looking for all my old toys. I really want some Bucky O Hare toys : D

[chaosbringer666]

He-Man had a profound impact on my childhood. MTOU was and still is my favorite toy line.

[TornCinema]

Great video, but you forgot to mention the Sy-Klone version of He-Man.

[lmartise]

Awesome

[cmhDK]

[00tyler]

when i was really little i had the action figure with the chest that showed damage if you hit it

[JCMOLFINO]

What was first? Action figures or the Animated series? and second what about all the comics that came with the action figures, I have about 8 of them somewhere, does anybody have some?

[missvidabom]

Oh man! He-Man was so awesome!! Love your video!

[biliquid]

wow..cool!!!action figures collectors all around the world must see this!!

[ianhow2478]

Great Video!! Excellent research into the figures!! Thanks For Sharing!!

[TheRangdo]

So rare to find a user made video on youtube that's actually well put together and interesting, thanks for posting this it brought back some childhood memories!

[Alan1701b]

Great video! Playing with He-Man figures was a big part of my childhood and this vid certainly had me remembering some very happy memories! Thank you. :)

[murpheno]

Fantastic to watch, brought back memories. Well done.

[drjfae9830564]

Es lo mejor que he visto....dichoso por tener la coleccion completa...a mi me faltaron muchos para terminala....al verlos revivo mi infancia...gracias

[supermanl79]

Yeah, He-Man was one of the coolest line of toys out there. Wish I still had my figures, I had almost the entire line. I loved playing with those. I also loved the cartoon, I have them all on DVD now and am waiting to get Vol 3 of the new cartoon to complete my collection.

[RoughStarFilms]

Whats the name of the He-Man background music from this vid, I can't find it anywhere.

[crankn1019]

they dont make toys like they use 2 ofcourse im 13

[SPGEN95]

have ever heard of the transformers

[ghostshafiq]

Those were goodtimes.

[Coltfighter]

Hey please do a many faces of Skeletor next! That would so rock!

[blackxypher]

What was your personal opinion on the live-action-movie?

[drkreepy1]

Really cool! I remeber food fighters! Man, I'd love to be a kid again, just for a day!

[steliosz28]

excuse me but..where do you find the he-man music score soundtrack???????????

[celic100]

keep up the good work

[GundamWarrior1]

What no New Adventures of He-Man (aka He-Man in Space)? :P

I actually bought the recently bought the newest DVD's and the show isn't as bad as some people made it out to be.

[Mandalorian30]

I have the New Adventures toys, too! hehe

And if you're talking about the new series, I loved it! It's a shame it got canceled so soon.

[NintendosAdvocate]

Dude, you rock! I just recently searched for He-Man action figures on ebay and I was blown away by Nostalgia! I forgot about a lot of them until I saw them on ebay, and childhood memories started flooding back to me. Sadly, I don't have any now. I wish I did. You should make a video and show the other He-Man figures (unless you did). Did that skunk guy toy have a strange smell to it? I seem to recall it smelling funny. If I ever find these at any yard sales I'm gonna buy them!

[Mandalorian30]

I plan to show off more of my He-Man collection in the future.

Glad I can help bring back the past for ya! And yes, Stinkor did have a smell! Heh. He was awesome!

[mathowlett]

That was excellent. Definitely do some more of those :)

[Mandalorian30]

Thanks! More on the way! :)

[sdphost]

Cool, now you aren't bound by video games. lol the intro is so cheesy.

I was born a bit too late for He-Man, it was Ninja Turtles for me. I was never a big fan of the show though I did have a few toys. I had that eye popping figure from She-Ra and I a He-Man VS Skeletor pack I got once. I believe they were from the New adventuers of He-Man though. I think it even came with a VHS.

[Mandalorian30]

And Cheesy it will stay! ;)

Yeah, From Pixels to Plastic will still be my main focus, but I wanted to do a little side series where I can cover all of the other non-video game toys that I love. Glad you liked it!

[Malunis7NiteBurn]

Hm, awesome. :>

I have a couple of ideas for new episodes of this series. The obvious; Ninja Turtles.

There's also Power Rangers if you were a fan of that.

And... Well, go with the lesser known like you mentioned, I'd be interested in that. :)

[AlbertWikowonkavitz]

Yes, I enjoyed this. He-Man was slightly before me time, but I still enjoyed this.

[Nickg716]

Hells yeah Food Fighters! Please tell me that Bravestarr is a possibility. I wish I still had all of those figures.

[assmasterman2]

I've heard of fighting foodons is it the same?

[Mandalorian30]

No idea. I guess I'll have to look into it. I've never heard of Fighting Foodons.
