  • 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. This is version 0.4 MOTU RPG created by Daniel Schenström Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) entries in this game mostly written by Scott Neitlich and Danielle Gelehrter.

It was a dark and chilly night — as it always is in the good stories — on the 9th of August, 1944, when young John rattled the cage. So began the career of another highly respected New Zealand biologist, one who projects a long and diverse legacy which, I am happy to say, continues despite the bureaucratic pressures from those who apparently know better. One of the reasons I admire John as a botanist is because he is extremely skilful at something that I (and others, as we have heard) regard as very important — he can tell one plant from another, and tell you what their names are.

  • 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.
