By the power of Grayskull…
With all the recent talk of Skeletor, I found myself trawling the internet trying to recapture my MOTU youth. I didn’t have a lot of MOTU toys, but I quite enjoyed what I had.
To my surprise, the internet is teeming with fan-compiled information and images of the inhabitants of Eternia (who knew nerds use the internet?). And then the memories came flooding back. I remember thinking Faker WAS He-Man (despite being blue) for a long time, because my parents bought him with Battle Cat together for my birthday. I remember that Stinkor smelled of patchouli. And that my mum bought Modulok for me when I was in hospital.
So, without further ado, I present to you, bored reader, my complete MOTU collection.
- Faker
- Cringer/Battle Cat (Creature)
- “The Original” He-Man (Re-issue)
- Screeech (Creature)
- Battle Ram (Vehicle)
- Battle Armor He-Man
- Clawful
- Stinkor
- Hordak
- Modulok
- Fright Zone (Playset)
- Terror Claws Skeletor
- Sorceress
- Sssqueeze
I’m pretty sure my brother had some more He-Men (I seem to recall having a Sy-Klone around at some point) but he can make his own list.
Actually I thought the list was gonna be bigger than that. Bizarrely, I seemed to be collecting the least well-known Eternians. And I’m probably the only dude that’ll admit to owning Sorceress.
I realise this post is a dud if I don’t get any comments, but I’ll ask anyway — which MOTU did you have?

Firstly I’d like to say that He-Man must have been on steroids, just look at the size of his package compared to his bulging muscles! What’s with that?

Alright, so it was a bit of a dud. That’s alright. I can deal with the crashing lows as well as those giddy, giddy highs.
