10 Things You Didn't Know About He-Man

[BarryJowers]

I was a kid when these toys first came out. My dad worked as a Dental Lab technician for a dentist in town (he made dentures for the dentist patients) Anyway It was my seventh birthday and my dad came home from work with all of these packages. He kept going back out to the car and bringing in package after package. For my seventh birthday, the dentist Dr. Harden bought me the entire collection of Masters of The Universe toys that were available at that time. He-Man, Skeletor, Man At Arms, Castle Greyskull, I mean every toy available for the MOU toy line. That was one of the best birthdays ever. Dr Harden was so good to our family when he found out he had terminal cancer he gave my dad the best gift and advice ever. He gave my dad all of the Lab equipment and told him to go in business for himself. That was over 40 years ago and my dad is still running that successful business today at the age of 84. Each time I see MOU I can't help but think of the Dr that gave us all the life that my family has today.

I remember coming home from school and watching this cartoon. This one and the ThunderCats as well as the Silverhawks.

I was a huge fan of He-Man. I had the He-Man and Skeletor Battle Damage figures and Castle Greyskull Playset for Christmas 1984.

1st year of elementary school...I was so proud of my He-man backpack...I had all the action figures, books, stickers and tapes with narrated stories...it felt great being a kid in the '80s

As an 80's kid born 1977 He-Man was my very first franchise that i loved endlessly!! I had the entire original run collection from He-Man and Skeletor to Castle Grayskull Snake Mountain and the Eterna playset where you could put all of the castles together as one. I even collected She-Ra Hordak and the Crystal castle not ashamed to admit this as a growing boy at the time. Also had the mini comics magazine and saw the crossover Secret Of The Sword in its theatrical release. Met Tom King the creator of He-Man and She-Ra this year at New York Comic Con and thanked him for creating a masterpiece. He even gave not sold me the entire original episode boxset of He-Man which I will treasure forever. We Have the power so can you!!!

My uncles had all the He Man toys. They passed them on to me in the mid 90s and I still have some today.

I grew up in the Eighties, He-Man was definitely the show to watch immediately after school before heading outside to play with the neighbors kids.

I have never been more excited about seeing a Minty 10 things you didn't know in my subscription list as I was today...

Frank Langella was definitely the best part of the MOTU movie. The 2002 show was actually pretty good.

Both myself and my brother were really into He-Man during its peak. Had many of the toys and watched the formulaic cartoons. Pure nostalgia Minty. 👍🏼

In the loving memory of Ruben Moya. Mexican voice actor for He-Man (1960-2023)

Just about to come off my lunch break and spotted this. Can’t wait to get home. I’m a child of the 80’s, this and thundercats were a massive part of my childhood. I had so many of the action figures. One of my regrets as an adult is not having kept a few for nostalgia. Cheers Minty.

Man I miss being a kid in the '80s.😞

[gibbytrowery]

I was a faithful watcher of the cartoon. Christmas of 83 I was 5yrs old when I got all the toys from HE-MAN. yeah and Castle Greyskull.

[tracyleesmith]

One of my best childhood days especially my brother too. 😊❤

[HendoCalrissian]

Would love to see a video like this for the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the 80s!

I was a huge he-man fan back in the day.The Castle Grayskull I got as a kid sits on a shelf in my shop to this day. My son even played with it when he was little.

[chucky]

When the show was airing in 1983, my brother and I were living in England. We used to race home from school at 3pm to watch it on TV and have our tea. Wow so long ago!!!! 😮

[jeremiahrose]

I loved this cartoon back in the day, plus Thunder Cats, GI Joe, Transformers. those were fun cartoons for sure.

[sarlaccstapeworm]

Back in 83', Scooby Doo and He-Man used to come on back to back in the afternoons (Scooby Doo at 4:00 & He-Man at 4:30).... My dad got me all the main action figures in 84'. He's always been my absolute favorite hero character ever since!

"THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE!!"🗡️ 😁👍
