  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

  • He-Man and the Masters of the Universe a Tecnocultura Dos Anos 80 E Uma Das Primeiras Recriações Do Pós-Humano
    HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE A TECNOCULTURA DOS ANOS 80 E UMA DAS PRIMEIRAS RECRIAÇÕES DO PÓS-HUMANO HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE THE 80'S TECHNOCULTURE AND ONE OF THE FIRST RECREATIONS OF THE POSTHUMAN JOÃO JERÓNIMO MACHADINHA MAIA* [email protected] Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma revisitação do franchising He-man and the Masters of the Universe, um universo recreativo que se estendeu a várias áreas de negócio. 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.
