MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, MATTEL 1981-1987

Classic era range of action figures.

Character book for sale

First Mattel made 8 figures only and for collectors who are lucky enough to find carded 8 back figures which means only 8 figures shown on back of card you get a lot more money than later carded figures showing more figures i sold a mint carded 8 back Skeletor for over £300 on ebay several years ago and i beat its worth more now.

If Mattel had not rejected the proposal from a company called lucasfilm to make some sci-fi fantasy war film figures , i'm guessing Masters of the Universe would not of ever happened seeing how successful those figures mattel saw no future in which went onto being of course Star Wars .

WAVE 7 

The Hardest to find standard figures in my 25 years of selling toys i have only sold one complete laser light Skeletor and one incomplete laser light he-man ever and i have sold thousands of he-man figures , i know they were produced in Italy not Asia and never made it into proper international circulation 

1988: LASER LIGHT HE-MAN
1988  LASER LIGHT SKELETOR


Whilst the above are normal figures some people including myself would not say you had a complete st of figures without battlecat some of the creatures who made a big part in cartoon as battlecat is my favourite so here are the other dude's i had a amazing collection of masters of the universe near complete set i was just missing Tytus the big giant , and i would not call my set complete without him, 

So here are the other figures.creatures not included in main figure list: 

1982: BATTLECAT
1983: PANTHOR
1983: SCREECH
1983: ZOAR
1984: STRIDOR (was a horse but a machine so debatable this one) same with the following
1985: NIGHT STALKER
1986: MANTISAUR
1986: ASTRO LION

In 1987 Think Mattell were panicking a little and seemed to start morphing into transformers  can not help but think those eggs have transformers in mind and dinosaurs urm. was Transformers doing well with Dinobots why the hell did they just do us a Dream weaver or a holiday Father Christmas edition skeletor or keldor .....and why dinosaurs sure he-man battled dragons !!!!
