    Papa here!

    Hello everyone! I am a mid-thirties collector and am having a blast snagging up all of these figures once again! In my youth I kept up with MOTU and Transformers and many of the other popular cartoon/toylines (that they still haven't topped in quality, in my opinion, as I still watch He-Man, Thundercats, Silverhawks, GI-Joe with my own kids) as much as was financially possible. I find it entertaining that when my family was financially strapped I would get the clearance sale figures, like Moss-Man or in the case of Transformers, Bumble-bee or another small, less expensive figure, while staring up at the top shelf, more expensive figures (like Prime, or the popular He-Man Battlecat combo packs). Today the figures like Beast-Man and a quality (still got moss) Moss-Man can fetch upwards of twenty dollars out of the package! I'm pleased to hear my son ask me for his own He-Man and when I ask which kind he wants as we look through the different incarnations he always points at the original.

    Anyway, I'm glad to be on this forum and hope to present pictures and comments about my 'Awesome-child-of-the-eighties' status that I will NEVER let go of!!
