He-Man, Voltron, and Thundercats.
In no particular order, those 3 cartoons basically defined my
childhood. There were so many more that I loved as a kid. But for me, these were
the holy trinity.
Whenever He-Man came on, I remember dropping whatever I was doing and
running to the TV. Having the action figures and playsets made the experience
that much more fun. After all these years, I'm not ashamed to admit that I am
still a huge fan!
Lately, there’s been a surge of
interest for anything He-Man related. There’s even a He-Man movie that was
greenlighted to be released in 2019! Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
What a wonderful time it is for
fans of this classic show. There are collectibles, comics, and books coming out
quite frequently to satisfy the average MOTU fanatic.
Speaking of He-Man books. Dark
Horse has published a comprehensive guide to the series called He-Man and
She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures. To put it bluntly,
this book is NOT to be missed. My brain just about exploded on how detailed it
went to recap the episodes of the show! This is a true fan’s dream! There is so
much in this book to devour. At first it’s overwhelming due to the massive
amount of info packed into this collectible hardcover book. But if you grew up
watching this show, then you owe it to yourself to get this. Flip it open and
you are immediately drawn into the world MOTU. Overall, I can’t highlight enough
how cool this book is. It’s like stumbling across a book hidden in Castle
Greyskull that holds all the secrets of the kingdom, if Eternia was real.
Now excuse me while I go back and read some more facts about one
of the best cartoons to ever hit TV.
