I was looking at several different He-Man figures and noticed some say Original on the cards while others don't. Can someone explain why this difference, is the one with the Original stamp the earlier released versions? thank you!
actually, i THINK it's the other way around...the original ment he isn't Battle Armor He-Man, or Flying Fists or whatever...i'm pretty sure the original tag came later...Originally Posted by mossman

As you can see here, the first He-Man figures were just plain. Then in 1984, "Battle Armor He-Man" came out along with "The Original He-Man." Ditto for Skeletor. Those two with "The Original" markings continued to come out over the following years.
Thus, a minor irony -- that the "Original" toys are plainly marked so that we can tell that they aren't the original toys.
Fire bad. Fire burn toys!
interesting, thanks for clarifying!
So if the ones with the "original" mark came out year after year, how could you tell those apart? Did they have a different year marking on the figure/card?
the figures themselves all have the same year on them 1981...don't know about the cards though, probably could roughly estimate when they came out based on the mini-comic that came with them...unless ALL He-Man's came with the same mini-comic...
sorry, not a big MOC expert...
