New Member Intro, Hello From Ohio

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Chris from Dayton, Ohio. I just recently re-kindled my love for the original He-Man universe! I am 33 so in the early to mid 1980's I was a huge He-Man fan. My grandmother would take me to a local store each weekend and I was allowed to get one new figure a week. At some point I must have had every US released figure, I had Castle Grayskull, Snake Mountain, various vehicles, the slime pit. etc etc.

I opened and played with all of them and they have all been long gone (sadly). I have an eight year old son and I just got him into He-Man thanks to the episodes being on Netflix, although now they have been recently REMOVED! The only thing on there now is the He-Man & She-Ra movie, and the 2002 Masters of The Universe series.

Long story short he is diggin it and I have been buying loose figures at a local flea market each weekend. I have been paying anywhere between $2.00-$5.00 depending on completeness / condition. I am hoping to get as close to complete as possible with these loose figures and hopefully snag a few carded figures if the pricing is right.

It is a great feeling buying these old figures and remembering being his age.

Cheers!

Welcome, ADVChris! So cool to hear about your youngling liking He-Man!

Thanks, so far I have aquired the following loose figures.

He-Man
Price Adam
Thunder Punch He-Man
Mechanek
Beast-Man (however legs were just broken off)
Battle Damage Skeletor
Triclops
Grizzlor, & a Grizzlor complete with bow
Extendar
Fisto
Man At Arms
Clawful
Two-Bad

I am buying up loose ones for him to play with, I would like to start buying a few good condition completes, carded or un-carded to keep for myself.

Does anyone know a good place to purchase those clear plastic protectors that a loose He-Man fits in?
