The gifts keep on coming! And this time, we're starting a special segment about the 200x comic called Did You Know?
Every once in a while, we'll post this segment on the main page where we reveal cool concepts for the comic that you never knew about.
And what better way to kick this first segment off than with a special Video Blog of Evil from our friend Unemployed Skeletor!
Check it out below to hear secrets revealed about the 200x comic!
It may take a few minutes to load after clicking the play button in the middle of the video, depending on your connection.
And please forgive Unemployed Skeletor for saying "Mer-Man" instead of "Man-at-Arms" at one point. He has his minions on his mind.

Happy Holidays to all He-Fans and She-Ravers across the globe!

AFX now has the 15" Trapjaw statue in stock!
Click here to order and support He-Man.org at the same time!
They should also have Wave 4 of the 6" Mini-Statues (Leech, Webstor and Snake Face) in stock next week. AFX's Wave 4 is different from other retailers in that all of their 3 figure sets are individually packaged in a stand-alone brown shipping box from NECA. This helps protect their sets, since they don't have to break down a case when mailing a set to a customer.
Click here to order and support He-Man.org at the same time!
Also, AFX expects to have details on their 6" King Randor exclusive Mini-Statue repaint in the near future. We'll have more details soon!

GueToys, our prefered retailer for international 6" Mini-Statue sales, has closed it's doors.
If anyone has questions about a previous preorder, please click here to contact John Gue directly and he'll be happy to assist.

There has been much curiosity if the MOTU movie from John Woo and Fox 2000 will ever see the light of day.
Unfortunately, it has fallen into the dark depths of the Grayskull Abyss, never to return.
It has been confirmed by Executive Producer Rodney Ferrell that they are no longer connected with a He-Man movie, and the rights have reverted back to Mattel.
Click here for full details.
Thanks to Clint at Moviehole.net for sending us the news.
Click here to see what fans have to say about this unfortunate announcement.

Any hope for a new MOTU movie now rests on the success of the upcoming Transformers live-action movie. If that does well, maybe someone else will seek out the rights to produce the next cinematic adventure for He-Man.
And for you ambitious young film-makers out there, please don't e-mail us for the contact info at Mattel in regards to acquiring the movie rights. We get a fair number of these e-mails. But unless you are a major producer or studio in Hollywood, with millions of dollars at your disposal, Mattel will not be interested. Sorry.
And for you ambitious screenwriters out there, Mattel is not interested in your screenplay submissions. The studio or producer who obtains the rights hires the writer, not Mattel. So please don't e-mail us in regards to that. Unfortunately, we can't help with that either. Sorry.

On November 9th, we provided you the contact information to BCI in case you had any DVD problems.
Some fans are having a problem with disc 4 from the recent She-Ra: Princess of Power S1V1 release.
BCI has released the following info in regards to that particular issue:

"BCI has recently been alerted to a possible defect with the 4th disc contained within the She-Ra: Princess of Power – Season 1, Volume 1 DVD collection.
