    Hello, interest rekindled thanks to my kid

    Hello,
    Well as the title says I have become interested in He-man again thanks to my kid. It started when I missed Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid so I bought some DVD's of cartoons I remembered loving as a kid and that included He-man. Well come to find out after at 40 episodes in my boy loves He-man and I have renewed interest in it as well. So I started with buying myself a few toys on Ebay. Then found a local vintage toy store and bought him a few as well. Needless to say we each have a small collection of figures now, play sets T-shirts and some original filmation art work. I think its safe to say at this point we are both hooked. Hes still pretty small and right now just loves watching the cartoons with me and playing with figures. Hopefully this is something though that he will always remember as my mom did a lot with me and Star Wars when I was a kid. Well...anywho before I keep rambling on. Thanks! I look forward to digging into the site!

    My son was 2 years old when I started putting on the cartoons for him at nap time. He's 8 now and still loves he-man. Cool story, man. Welcome and have fun!

    Lucky you! I've shown my son He-Man many times. He finally watched 2-3 episodes straight with interest, but that was that. He looks at my MOTU Classics, and thinks they look cool. The same with Star Wars, we haven't gotten past an hour in a New Hope. Oh well, there's still time. Welcome.

    Great to read that your son managed to infect you with the "MotU fever" again after so many years. Enjoy it and your time here!
