    Hi There...A Longtime Fan Returns to the Fold!

    Hello everyone! I've been a big fan of MOTU since I was a kid. In fact, one of my earliest toy memories is getting a set of Series 1 MOTU figures at Sears. Those old toys introduced me to He-Man, Skeletor, and the adventures of Eternia! Over time, I got more vintage figures, used Castle Grayskull as the main playset for all of my toys, and watched the Filmation series. After a while, I outgrew my toys and remember not being impressed by the live action MOTU movie when it came out. I even caught a couple of early episodes of the 200X series but, for the most part, I was done with the Masters of the Universe...Or so I thought!

    For the past two years, I've been collecting Mattel's new WWE figures. They recently began selling Legends figures on Matty's site and that's where I saw the new MOTU Classic figures. I came across the line last year but decided to let it go. I loved the new look of them but didn't want to start collecting another line or pay outrageous online prices to catch up on earlier releases. Still, Matty's site was a huge temptation and my will was finally broken down by the Overlord of Evil!

    Yes, I ordered a re-issue of Skeletor and loved the classic look, I felt like a kid again. Then it started; I needed He-Man, of course, and then...Man-At-Arms, Teela, Beast-Man...The original eight, why not?...Wait, Trap-Jaw, Tri-Klops, Evil Lynn, Man-E-Faces, and...Well, you get the idea!

    So far, I've picked up over a dozen figures in the past two months and even bought the DVDs of the old Filmation & 200X series. It's fun to look back and rediscover this series, especially with all the new info from the Classics' bios, so I decided to join this forum. I'll post pics of my collection soon...I'm just waiting for a big shipment from Matty's March Madness sale!

    Thanks for reading!

    Welcome to He-Man.org. I enjoyed reading how you just couldn't have one re-issue of Skeletor. It's awesome to feel like a kid again and see the MOTU figures available. You just can't have one!

    I'm not part of the MattyCollector subscription. However, I was able to purchase He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, and Panthor through MattyCollector. I have them displayed at work where people have been giving me positive comments about them. I also have She-Ra which I got at San Diego Comic Con and Princess Adora and Hordak on eBay. Eventually, I would like to get all members of the Evil Horde.

    I hope you enjoy He-Man.org and posting on the forum.

    Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!

    Heheh, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's started their collections with Skeletor...He's one of my all-time favorite villains! Well, I just got Scareglow, Webstor, and the Goddess today. They look really cool, especially Scareglow. He was one of those figures that I really wanted as a kid but never got!
