    Greetings from Ex-Yugoslavia

    Heya MOTU fans.

    Another huge fan here. I loved the Masters of the Universe as a kid, and I still think it's the best universe ever created in the entertainment. I simply loved the comics (marvel/star were published here, as well as german comics line with two mini episodes per comic), and the filmation cartoon series (with which MOTU exploded in popularity in Yugoslavia as well), but most of all I cherished my collection of 20+ figures. The figures were mostly imported from Greece or western countries, as they were rather hard to be found in the Yugoslavian toy stores. Unfortunately I lost the collection in my college days, but now as I have two kids, I thought it's the appropriate time to introduce them to the vintage toy line first before moving to the classics. And I hope that we see the new MOTU movie being made sooner rather than later, so the new generations can find out about He-Man and Co. and see this great universe rise in popularity again as it rightfully deserves.

    Cheers,
    Naum

    I lived in the south part of Yugoslavia, so Italy was far for me. But each summer we'd go on vacation to Greece, and the local shops were flooded with MOTU figures. So each summer I was coming back from vacation with few new figures.

    And thanks for the warm welcome guys
