[HE-MAN.ORG]

If you haven't seen it, check out Jacob Quisenberry's Grayskull Tour located here:

http://www.he-man.org/fun_stuff/

It's a excellent tour of Castle Grayskull with many different sections of the castle mapped out; a definite see for any He-Fan.

Lots of people have been asking about where to find toys, videos, and other He-man and She-ra related items. Don't forget the Bulletin Boards on www.he-man.org, located here:

http://www.he-man.org/forums/

Be sure to check out the trader reviews section to see feedback on various traders and the people who have dealt with them.


[He-man Limited Edition Figures]

The Masters of the Universe Retro Reissue Figure Assortment (limited to 15,000 pieces for He-Man and Skeletor, 10,000 for all other characters) should hit stores in January 2001.

Find 'em (in allocated quantities) at major retail outlets like Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys "R" Us.

The suggested retail price for the individual figures is $11.99-$14.99.

The ten figures released will be: He-man, Skeletor, Teela, Beast Man, Man-At-Arms, Evil-Lyn, Faker, Trap Jaw, Mer Man, and Tri-Klops.

Also mentioned were limited edition two packs; He-man/Battlecat, and Skeletor/Panthor.

[He-man and Skeletor Art by Ed McGuinness]

In Wizard Magazine #111, December 2000, Ed McGuinness has drawn an excellent color sketch of He-man and Skeletor battling. One of the interesting parts is the fact that he states in the description that he'd be interested in drawing a He-man comic! He also said that he learned how to draw muscles from He-man.

[Larry DiTillio]

Mr. DiTillio has informed me that a friend of his mentioned the possibility of a revival of He-man. He said that there was no further word concerning this possible revival currently, but he believes that if the Dungeons & Dragons and Lords of the Rings movies do really well, there will be a renewed interested in fantasy films and shows. Also, he believes that an executive at Mattel would see this renewed interest and bring up the possibility of a new He-man and She-ra series. He also said that if this happened he hopes that they will consider asking him to write for the series once again.

I don't know about you, but I know that I would definitely want Mr. DiTillio back on the He-man and She-ra writing team again. For those of you who may not know who he is, he is the writer for Beast Wars and Beast Machines and other possibly other shows that I don't even know of. He also wrote a memorable two part He-man episode called the "House of Shokoti" Part 1 & 2. He is also the creator of Granamyr, the dragon, on He-man, which I might add is a very cool character whom we did not see enough of.
