    Introduction: Old Time Fan, Mid-Size Collector, Part-Time Lurker

    Hello Everyone,

    I am finally posting an introduction. I considered posting my Wundar Origins custom in November, but I delayed doing it.

    I am not a regular on social media sites, with the exception of a board/table top game I was deep into about 10-15 years ago.

    As for MOTU, my first collection started in 1982 with a birthday gift of Beast Man, Skeletor, and Man-At-Arms. Eventually my collection included He-Man, Stratos, Zodac, Faker, Zoar, the Battle Ram, the Wind Raider, Battle Cat, Castle Grayskull, Fisto, Jitsu, Ram Man, and Spikor.

    As a kid I favored the atmosphere and lore of the first mini-comics over the Filmation cartoon. And by the time the cartoon was becoming popular I discovered a love for G.I. Joe too.

    As a boy, I was too cool for She-Ra,
    (when she joined the story) and I aged out before New Adventures. In 1995, a fire at my parents' house caused me to lose all of the toys that I saved since starting that first MOTU collection.

    For several years now, I have long surpassed my childhood collection of MOTU. The current bulk of my MOTU collection includes: Mega Construx, Minis, Vintage, Commemorative, Loyal Subjects, the entire Mattel & Super7 Classics line (except for some of the posters), Super7 Retro 5.5 figs, comics, 2000X & Filmation cartoons, various collector/character guides, and Origins.

    So, yes, I finally decided to join the conversation/community. I should have done earlier.

    I am willing to hunt some figures for community members in need, when I know I can help.

    dorrmann, thank you for welcoming me in. I forgot to include Mer-Man in my original collection list. Your avatar reminded me.
