  • Masters of the Universe: Action Figures, Customization and Masculinity
    MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: ACTION FIGURES, CUSTOMIZATION AND MASCULINITY Eric Sobel A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2018 Committee: Montana Miller, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Montana Miller, Advisor This thesis places action figures, as masculinely gendered playthings and rich intertexts, into a larger context that accounts for increased nostalgia and hyperacceleration. Employing an ethnographic approach, I turn my attention to the under-discussed adults who comprise the fandom. I examine ways that individuals interact with action figures creatively, divorced from children’s play, to produce subjective experiences, negotiate the inherently consumeristic nature of their fandom, and process the gender codes and social stigma associated with classic toylines. Toy customizers, for example, act as folk artists who value authenticity, but for many, mimicking mass-produced objects is a sign of one’s skill, as seen by those working in a style inspired by Masters of the Universe figures. However, while creativity is found in delicately manipulating familiar forms, the inherent toxic masculinity of the original action figures is explored to a degree that far exceeds that of the mass-produced toys of the 1980s. Collectors similarly complicate the use of action figures, as playfully created displays act as frames where fetishization is permissible. I argue that the fetishization of action figures is a stabilizing response to ever-changing trends, yet simultaneously operates within the complex web of intertexts of which action figures are invariably tied. To highlight the action figure’s evolving role in corporate hands, I examine retro-style Reaction figures as metacultural objects that evoke Star Wars figures of the late 1970s but, unlike Star Wars toys, discourage creativity, communicating through the familiar signs of pop culture to push the figure into a mental realm where official stories are narrowly interpreted.

Um was geht es. He-Man: Ich finde es an der Zeit, Skeletor einmal richtig auf den Arm zu nehmen. Man-at-Arms: (schmunzelnd) Du willst Skeletor zum Narren machen. Das hätte er allerdings verdient. Aber wie stellst du dir das vor? He-Man: (lacht auf) Ganz einfach, Waffenmeister: Bisher hat sich Skeletor auf alles gestürzt, was ihm wichtig erschien und was er glaubte gegen uns verwenden zu können. Einmal war es ein Buch, dann das Vermächtnis eines Magiers. Man-at-Arms: Ja, richtig … Und jetzt willst du ihm einen Köder hinwerfen, an dem er sich verschlucken soll. He-Man: Ja, genau das. In der Bibliothek habe ich ein Buch entdeckt – es heißt: „Die Pyramide der Unsterblichkeit“. Es ist ein dummes Buch. So eine Art Märchenbuch. Aber so geschrieben, als ginge es dabei um die pure Wahrheit. Man-at-Arms: (lachend) Skeletor wird glauben, dass er mit Hilfe des Buchs unsterblich werden kann. He-Man: Genau davon bin ich überzeugt. Er wird sich aufführen wie ein Narr. Und für uns gibt es was zu lachen. Man-at-Arms: (begeistert) Das wäre genau das Richtige für unser Fest, das morgen beginnen soll. (freudig nachdenklich) Aber wie gehen wir vor? He-Man: Pass auf! Das hab ich mir so vorgestellt … [gediegene Musik / Skeletor-Motiv] Erzähler: Skeletor, der Herr des Bösen, lag krank im Bett. Hordak, der Oberbefehlshaber der Horde, King-Hiss, der König der Schangenmenschen, Rattlor, Tung-Lashor, Kobra-Khan und Evil-Lyn waren bei ihm und versuchten ihm zu helfen.

  • Creating a Character
    This game is based on Mattel's Masters of the Universe. It would be nothing without the many people involved in creating the brand and everything connected to it. I've tried to acknowledge everyone that I know had a part but there's bound to be omissions. Thanks to everyone involved. A brand as large as this is not easy to wrap one's head around and while there's only one writer of this game most of the information here was originally collected by fans and shared on various websites, mailing lists and forums. I owe a great gratitude to all those people and I've tried to credit everyone but there might be people I've neglected to mention. I'd be happy to correct any mistakes, and change online aliases to the correct names if you wish.

Story: This book chronicles the He-Man newspaper comics from beginning to end. Characters: He- Man is in reality Prince Adam, with the secret ability to transform. He saves the day with the help of his friends, not just with brawn but with brains. Language: Very 80's dialogue. Full of cheesy lines and some morals. Contains suggestive adult content, but also appropriate reading for younger readers. While a lot of the dialogue with women is very sexist, women pl 80's. While a lot of the dialogue with women is very sexist, women play strong roles in the book and are often the heroes. A fun leap backwards in time, a nice distraction from my normal reading. Took some time to read because the book is so physically big it often causes cricks in my neck so I had to take lots of breaks! Dec 31, Vladimir rated it really liked it.

In this issue, our authors share their losses and their triumphs, take us inside unpredictable police encounters, homegrown wild animal refuges, 1950s department stores, decrepit New York brownstones basement apartments, and the burned-out remains of a Kentucky music store.

Mastering the Universe illuminates the creation, rise, and fall of one of the top-selling product lines in what is arguably the world's most competitive industry, toys -- and it does so from the perspective of Roger Sweet, the man who originated He-Man for Mattel. He-Man and the product line that grew out of it, Masters of the Universe (MOTU), created a fantasy world for boys that, at its height in 1986, reached $400 million in U.S. sales, only to plummet to $7 million the following year. During its six-year run, the MOTU line sold $1.2 billion worldwide and spawned a syndicated cartoon series and a major motion picture -- a feat not even the venerable Barbie can claim.
