He-Man: A Tribute

[Guest LFD]

I like the film.

 

Probably hasn't aged the best, but not many things do from the 80s.

[setreal]

The movie never had anything to do with He-Man for me, even as a kid.

[mattyq]

I thought it was all vaguely homo-erotic with the oversized muscles and whatnot

Mr Strickland, typecast 80s icon.

They didn't have the budget for the special effects that would be required to do Orko, so they replaced him with that pathetic dwarf instead. As soon as I saw that dwarf I knew it would be turd, even as an 8 year old.

Was that dwarf the same person who was in Neverending Story? Edit - Looked it up, looks nothing like the character I was thinking of.

I hate them giant pepper grinders.. Fuck off Worrall Thompson.

I used to always bite the head off He Man figures and chew on it, it would create a suction and get stuck to your tongue.

We need to talk about Bobby.

They ran out of money for the Masters of the Universe film so shot the final sword fight in the dark, really quickly, to get it finished. No money is why it was also set on Earth.

 

Had Castle Grayskull as a kid, the neighbours had Snake Mountain and Hordak's gaff from She-Ra. The latter had a rubber snake puppet that came out of a cave - read into that what you will. First Masters figure I had was Trapjaw, never got Merman or Beastman but did have Panthor, Battlecat and Orco, who had one of those zip-line things that you pulled out and he went off flying across the floor. Pretty sure I had a Prince Adam figure too.

 

My mum gave all my He-Man and Thundercats toys away, a decision she's never be allowed to forget. Spray painted her car reminding her of it just last week. Gave them away to a friend's daughter too.

Had the vast majority of MOTU, WWF and Manta Force figures as a kid

Did you move onto insects after that or was it straight to prostitutes?

[Bjornebye]

Always preferred Thundercats to He-Man. I had a sword of omens with the light up bit on the hilt.

[Scott_M]

Shera had huge tits. I bet He-Man spent hours motorboating those bad boys.

Is that the natural progression. I went from there to throwing a roller boot into the Mersey and that was it.. the reign of chaos was over.. the world released its breath and time made people forget but the unease lays beneath the psyche of everyone who lays their faith in law and order.

That was his sister.

Will nobody think of the beheaded toys though? For the love of God, please someone think of the toys!!

They had a whiff of Jamie & Cersei Lannister.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Evil Lynne was where it was at.

[manwiththestick]

Mer-man was a bad shithouse. Three pages in and no mention of Teela, virgins.

[Section_31]

Tuning in expecting He-Man and finding She-Ra instead was an absolutely soul destroying experiences, flying around on a unicorn shooting rainbows at people or some shit, horrendous scenes.

[General Dryness]

Yeah She ra was for girls.

 

I remember getting my first MOTU toys. I'd been to the dentist and had to have about 5 teeth out so my arl fella took me toy shopping to cheer me up.

 

Got He Man, Stratos, Mer Man and Beast man. Used to love the way new toys smelt. That plasticcy smell. They'd lose it over time, but when they were new it was ace.

[Section_31]

Remember battle damage Ram Man? Amazing scenes.

[manwiththestick]

He-man jellies were a gift from the gods.

[setreal]

As a kid I was only allowed to have the "normal looking" ones at first, and not the "monsters". Which meant it was usually 5 or 6 good guys vs Tri-Klops.
