Clawful - He has two extremely strong claws for hands. Kobra Khan - One of the many members of the Snake People, Kobra Khan can do many impressive things such as spray sleep gas through the coat of his neck. He has the knowledge to become a great leader. Webstor - He is a master of escaping with his big climbing hook. He is really an underrated henchman of Skeletor and isn't give much credit. Note: The action figure of Faker had orange hair, blue skin and wore Skeletor's armor. In the animated series he looked exactly like He-Man except he has glowing eyes and his voice is lower toned. Jitsu - Like Fisto he has a large hand and he a master on the martial arts. Spikor - A warrior that has spikes all over his dark colored body. He is another underrated villain of Skeletor's. Two-Bad - Two-Bad, the two headed warrior loves strategy but fails at missions. Screech - The giant mechanical falcon is very dangerous but the huge bird never really completed any of his missions. The s produced a lot of great things and this series was one of them. The whole series is priceless in My book and even though there is a new He-Man series currently on television there will never be an animated series like this again.

Each character has an awesome personality, looks, and what have you. The men all have big muscles and the women are so neat looking. I really liked the messages the guys tell the viewers at the end of the shows. I love the totally cool monsters and the wonderful creatures the series has. I also love it for something's I'm sure most or some viewers of the show don't notice and that is the way the characters walk and especially run. I also adore the music. It has such a great score and great beginning and end themes! I just love the fight scenes. They are so real! I love the intro of the series. I can go on and on about this. Now below is an in-depth look at most of the great characters seen the episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! Note: What you are about to read here is My opinions on the characters and My opinions only. This is not all of the great characters in He-Man and the Masters of the universe but is a guide to show the viewer most of the important heroes and villains in the universe! The Heroes - These are the mightiest warriors on Eternia. Prince Adam acts like a coward in front of his father or always leaves when trouble starts to hide his huge secret. He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe is the Defender of Eternia, a large muscular man of good, he will not kill anyone or anything no matter how evil they are. But in one episode this changes and I don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't seen it yet. The talking fraidy cat who is always thinking of cat naps and food. He would rather eat a big meal than to turn into the huge and mighty green tiger that is known as Battle Cat,He-Man's loyal friend. Duncan is a master of weapons, building machines, vehicles, computers etc. Man-At-Arms is an intelligent person, a very kind man and he is always thinking of others especially his daughter Teela. Teela - Duncan's daughter is a beautiful young woman who is captain of the guard. She can take care of herself as she is a skilled warrior but at times she is stubborn. Teela is a very smart woman and she does care for others. What she also doesn't know is that He-Man and the Prince are one in the same! Orko - The magician from Trolla is clever but clumsy and his magic doesn't always work well on Eternia. Orko is a very loyal companion as he is one of the four who is aware of Adam's big secret. Randor was once a warrior though older, he still has what it takes to take care of himself and others when the time calls for it. Randor always thinks that his son Adam doesn't take things seriously when something bad happens as he leaves the room and his excuse is always that something has come up. Little does King Randor know that his son has the biggest secret ever and that he is the legendary He-Man! Queen Marlena - Adam's Mother is older yet a fine looking woman who loves her son but is unaware of his big secret.

  • 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.

  • Die Pyramide Der Unsterblichkeit (Motu-Hspfolge 31, Script: H.G.Francis, Getippt V
    Die Pyramide der Unsterblichkeit (MotU-HspFolge 31, Script: H.G.Francis, getippt v. M. Gall) [Titelmusik / Werkstatt] He-Man: Man-at-Arms, ich habe eine Idee. Man-at-Arms: Heraus damit, He-Man. 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.

  • Morphological Conservation in Human-Animal Hybrids in Science Fiction and Fantasy Settings: Is Our Imagination As Free As We Think It Is?
    Advances in Anthropology 2013. Vol.3, No.3, 157-163 Published Online August 2013 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/aa) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/aa.2013.33021 Morphological Conservation in Human-Animal Hybrids in Science Fiction and Fantasy Settings: Is Our Imagination as Free as We Think It Is? Matthieu J. Guitton1,2 1Faculty of Medicine, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada 2Institut Universitaire en Santé Mentale de Québec, Quebec City, Canada Email: [email protected] Received March 1st, 2013; revised April 3rd, 2013; accepted May 20th, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Matthieu J. Guitton. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The question of whether human imagination knows no boundaries or is, alternatively, constrained by conscious or unconscious cognitive templates is a key issue in defining human mind. We try here to ad- dress this extremely large question by focusing on one particular element of imaginary creations, the spe- cific case of human-animal hybrids. Human-animal hybrids are common inhabitants of human imaginary spaces, being regularly encountered across numerous mythologies, as well as in modern popular culture. If human imagination was unconstrained, it would be expected that such hybrid creatures would display roughly half human and half animalistic features. Using several different popular science fiction and fan- tasy settings, we conducted an analysis of the morphological traits of human-animal hybrids, both ana- tomical and phenotypic. Surprisingly, we observed extremely high conservation of human morphological traits in human-animal hybrids, with a contrasting high use of phenotypic (“cosmetic”) alterations, and with highly stereotyped patterns of morphological alterations.

Tratando-se de um universo concebido no contexto da tecnocultura dos anos 80, recebeu a influência de vários elementos culturais e ideológicos que justificam a sua classificação como representação do pós- humano. Inclusivamente, as representações de He-man em décadas posteriores não deixaram de revelar elementos interessantes para o estudo académico das recriações do pós-humano face aos desenvolvimentos ocorridos na cultura popular e na cultura de massas através dos média. No entanto, trata-se de um produto de entretenimento que continua a ser essencialmente dirigido ao público de fãs dos anos 80, daí verificar-se determinadas particularidades na evolução das suas estórias. Palavras-chaves: tecnocultura; anos 80; He-man; recriação; pós-humano. This article aims to revisit the He-man and the Masters of the Universe franchise, a recreational universe that has extended to various business areas. As it was a universe conceived in the context of the technoculture of the 1980s, it received the influence of several cultural and ideological elements that justify its classification as a representation of the posthuman. In fact, He-man's representations in later decades did not fail to reveal interesting elements for the academic study of the posthuman recreations in the face of the developments that have occurred in the popular culture and in the mass culture through the media.
