A glimmer of hope for a new He-Man movie? You be the judge.
While you should still be very weary of any fan-posted info you find on IMDB.com, Adam Rifkin (attached writer to the now defunct He-Man / John Woo project) gave up some interesting info at a Q&A over at moviehole.net.

He-Man user Tallstar asked Rifkin if he had any info about the MOTU movie, he responded with:
"Legally I’m not allowed to say much concerning HE-MAN, however I can say this: HE-MAN is a movie that’s definitely going to be made! Where and with whom are all pretty top secret at present, but when the shroud of mystery is finally lifted I can promise you, HE-MAN fans will not be disappointed."

This raises some eyebrows, considering the company Rifkin was previously hired to write the screenplay for has publicly stated the rights for the movie have reverted back to Mattel. Mattel has also stated nothing is currently in development in regards to the movie.
Perhaps it's wishful thinking on Rifkin's part to keep He-Man alive, maybe it's a ruse, or maybe he knows something we don't! Anything is possible at this point.

In all seriousness, if the new Transformers movie does well then the odds are extremely high for a new MOTU movie. And with buzz already strong on Transformers, it will probably at least open strong, which will turn movie studio eyes to 80s-based properties for live-action movies. So it's not a stretch for anyone to claim a new He-Man movie is coming... the chances are pretty good for something to happen if you think about it logically.
If we know anything concrete, we'll keep you posted!
Keep those fingers crossed!

A lot of people are e-mailing us about some new info that appeared on IMDB.com about a MOTU movie scheduled for 2008.
So, we're just going to repost what we said about IMDB.com on January 4th of last year, but edit it to make it relevant to this entry.
Sorry about being the wet blanket, folks.

We know many of you have high hopes about there being a new MOTU movie.
And from time to time, some fans send us info they've found online about release dates, actors, etc that they think we've either forgotten to post, don't know about, etc.
We hate to bring bad news, but please note that much of what you read online are simply rumors that fan news sites post from fan info or gather from Internet Movie Database.com.
An important thing for you to note is that IMDB.com is not an official database. The vast majority of information posted on that site comes from fans just like you.
What you see posted about the MOTU movie on IMDB.com is almost entirely rumor based.
As it stands, there is no movement on the MOTU movie. It will not be out in 2008, there is no studio attached, it has not been assigned a budget and there is no cast or film crew.
The reality is that the movie rights lapsed and were returned to Mattel. Mattel has told us nothing is currently in development.
Because of this, when there is official news, we will be sure to post it.
Until then, everything you read online should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially if you find it on IMDB.com.
Sorry!
But keep those fingers crossed! Hopefully a new movie will happen one day in the future. Let's hope that the new live-action Transformers movie is a smash hit and studios go flocking to Mattel in hopes of filming a new He-Man movie!

Fans and collectors still e-mail us asking if we have any limited edition variant Secret of the Sword DVDs left.
And surprisingly enough, we do. But not many. Less than a 100 copies of the limited run of 1000 are left before it is completely sold out.
You can pick a copy up via our eBay listings or our Amazon.com listing.
When our copies are gone, you're only hope of getting one is from another collector who decides to part with their copy.

And speaking of exclusives, AFX has passed along some news about international fans wanting to order their exclusive King Randor staction repaint, but are waiting for when they are in stock so they can choose the cheaper shipping through the United States Postal Service.
International customers can now order King Randor at a cheaper shipping price by choosing USPS worldwide (NOT UPS worldwide expedited) as long as they are only ordering one statue.
Oordering more than one King Randor staction via USPS will still be cheaper than UPS, but the shipping price increases because of the weight.

The New Adventures of He-Man Volume Two will hit stores this March 27th!

This is the second release in a two volume set that will include all 65 original episodes of the popular animated saga. Both He-Man volumes, combined with prior Masters of the Universe and She-Ra: Princess of Power DVD releases, form a unique “spine art mural.”

In a future filled with danger and adventure, He-Man, the Galactic Guardians, and Master Sebrian wage a never-ending battle against Skeletor, Flogg and his band of Mutants to keep them from breaking through the endangered planet of Primus' protective shield. The battle for Primus takes an unexpected turn when the villains make their presence felt on the planet Necron, sparking a war between the peace-loving Mytes and the war-like Gleanons. Good against evil, the battle will reach its conclusion in the most spectacular manner, with He-Man and his allies now fighting a war across two planets

The bonus content featured in this set include:

  • Two brand new documentaries – “The Fans of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” and “The Power of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe," both directed by Andy Mangels
  • Two new original art cards by award-winning comic book artists Matt Haley and Gene Ha

We've been getting a lot of requests about how to buy a classic Shadow Weaver figure.
Seems a custom figure MOC job that was on eBay has stirred up some fans out there into thinking a Shadow Weaver actually exists.
Sorry, folks, but she was never created.
Forum user and custom figure creator Tirpitz is the mastermind behind that custom figure that was on eBay. It looks really good, too! But it's not an authentic figure produced by Mattel.
