TOY MASTERS (He-Man documentary) preview

[heavy-eternium]

How is it possible that I could not find any news or any thread about it on. org?
at least I used the search and i found nothing.

surely many do not know about it , I found out about it today and I'm too happy and excited

"Toy Masters" is the first ever feature-length documentary on the world-wide phenomenon that inspired an entire generation of children and became a billion dollar franchise--"Masters of the Universe".

The film is in production now, filming all over the U.S. "Toy Masters" will feature interviews with the key creative personnel behind every version of the best selling toy line and all incarnations of "Masters of the Universe" on television, film, stage, and print, tracing the inception and ups and downs of the fantasy juggernaut.

They are looking the most crazy and obsessive motu fan for an interview hehe

Vinto-Man has made a thread for it in the very early beginnings:

http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...ht=documentary


Org is aware of it.
I think Emiliano may have been in e-mail discussions with the documentary-makers. (I'll wait for him to come and confirm this though)

From what I reckon, when they are ready to officially announce things, Org will be sharing the news in a big way.
Currently the facebook-page is best place to get glimpses of their progress.

... Someone on He-Man.Org should offer to design these guys a new logo for their film. This one looks kind of boring to me. Needs more sparkles or something... lol

Finally! Masters of the Universe: The E! True Hollywood Story!

haha.. thats great!


welcome to the he-man forums Corey.

btw.. there was a full feature presentation of the launch of Masters of the Universe cartoon back on Sept 24, 1983 at Mann's chinese theater in LA.

if you or your contacts can find and dig up any archive footage from that day, i think all motu fans here would just DIE!

it was a HUGE MOTU party that saturday afternoon.

all the info u may want to know is on the thread below. feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions, thanks. Carlo

Awesome can't wait to see this.

[dorrmann]

Feel free! Anyone! That's just a quickie temp I did on Photoshop. The subtitle of the film may change, also.

You should make a post requesting this in the Fan Art forum. We have some AMAZING talent here on the boards, and I'm sure they'd love to volunteer their services.

This is gonna be awesome. One of the most interesting toys and licensing stories out there. Can't wait to see it.

[Emiliano]

I had a long phone call with Roger yesterday night.
I love what they are doing with the documentary, I couldn't be more excited!
We'll have updates on He-Man.org pretty soon

[JVS3]

I agree with Emiliano.
This sounds like the kind of documentary we've all been waiting for.

I'd love to see various artists take on the new logo!

The TOY MASTERS Comic-Con preview will go live on YouTube and the Facebook page at 8pm PST this Saturday. For those of you at Comic-Con, keep your eyes peeled at trailer events, etc., for live screenings of the preview. Roger and I will be around, as well as attending the He-Man.org event, handing out postcards and spreading the word.

[Jukka]

Sounds excellent!

[superheman]

Here it is, very cool!

[Mr. Shokoti]

It looks really interesting but dang! Sometimes it's best not to know too much behind-the-scenes info on things I like. MOTU's history seems full of unhappy people.

[demiscy]

I really enjoyed the preview!
Will it be released on dvd?
How long (in minutes) is the documentary?

[Grimbot]

I don't get what's Donald's problem. He's very negative about everything he worked on.

Agreed that sometimes it's best not to know. I'm hoping this controversial bit is only a small subset of all that's discussed in the doc. If it's the central theme (as is the case with many docs that explore a singular possibility, often controversial), I'm not sure I'd want to check it out. I'd rather stick to the BCI DVD docs in that case.

But...speculation aside, just hoping for the best. It does look like a decent production, actually.

I can't imagine it wouldn't release on DVD. I'd love to see this in select theaters, plenty of niche establishments in the Southern California area do showcase docs, so I can dream, can't I?
