The mysterious Savage He-Man variant formerly known as "Wonder Bread He-Man"

Benjamin Wech · January 22, 2003, 09:14am

I know this hasn't much to do with Wonder Bread He-Man, but I found out that the figures in the He-Man/Teela mailaway from JCPenney also came completely sealed in plastic baggies, just like Wonder Bread He-Man. I had quite a few of those sets, with different figure combinations, and all contained loose figures (w/ baggied weapons). A few days ago, a friend of mine, who opened his He-Man/Teela, told me that the figures are in factory-sealed baggies. Cool, eh?

Yeah, they were from the JCPenney (and Sears) catalogs. They came in brown boxes with just black outline-pictures of the figures contained on them. They're really cool.

**Ram_Man_21** · January 23, 2003, 01:21pm

Oh I thopught that when you got them from the catalog they were on card that's how I remember them. Maybe my brain isn't working right

Benjamin Wech · January 23, 2003, 04:06pm

Well, I think you could order them also on cards. These boxes were just offers they had where you could get two figures with one purchase.

**Ram_Man_21** · January 24, 2003, 10:50am

Oh ok I remember those now. Oh and on an off topic note did anyone see the new Ninja Turtles yet? They're awsome.

I want this box!!

**evenflow** · February 10, 2003, 07:17am

That is an awesome box.

**Ram_Man_21** · February 10, 2003, 01:08pm

Yeah that box is awsome but, I like the artwork on the original cards better

Some new WB He-man info:

First off I would like to thank the Fowlers for sending me scans of the insert to their WB He-man. Thanks guys!

I have asked several barbie collectors and I have gotten back several different answers. Nothing really important. But they are still looking because the insert I showed them seems to have popped up several questions for them as well. What I did find out is that the insert's address belongs to mattel. The PO Box address given is still in use by mattel whenever they do give aways. It's belongs to a mattel distribution/warehouse. That is all for now but the barbie collectors are still looking. And I'm still trying to solve this mystery in my spare time.

Keep up the good work and I hope you find something.

if they would just say YES, then would could all be happy and live happily ever after...

**Ram_Man_21** · February 24, 2003, 03:27pm

Mattel is never gonna admit to it. They're gonna just keep denying it, it's just like Area 51

**LORD FALLEN ELDOR** · February 26, 2003, 10:06pm

its just like in the movie labyrinth, we just need to ask Mattel the right question

nah, they're never gonna tell us the TRUTH about WB He-Man. I imagine all of the right questions have been asked already

**He-Lurker** · February 27, 2003, 07:59pm

About 5 minutes away from where I live is the Mattel building that has the outlet store in El Segundo Ca. Maybe one day I'll break in and demand to know the answer! There's gotta be one old guy left in there who knows the answer...

You would be surprised by how few questions have actually been asked.

**Ram_Man_21** · February 28, 2003, 04:08pm

I still think that Mattel is never going to tell us the truth about WB He-Man. They're hiding something about it or else they would tell us the origin

**carlo** · February 28, 2003, 04:30pm

if they can't admit to WB he-man or where ever he came from (promotional wise) then they have some skeleton's in their closet. Mistress, pimp daddy, sugar mama, sugar daddy, owe money, something...hmmmm. what are you hiding mattel???

let's hire a private detective!

Yeah we could do that lol. I think we need to to get to the bottom of this. It's just stupid that they wouldn't tell us about him.
