I love He-Man. Boss Radio recently gifted me a 'best episodes' DVD. WHOO!

Skeletor was cool, but I was kind of more into Voltron. :D

I watched Voltron religiously. I even had all of the toys. I also was really into Robotech.

I even used to watch Go-Bots. I am ashamed to say that.. Scooter was a big queen!!!

Voltron was my fav of the mecha genre. Robotech was over my head.

Playing Voltron was best if everyone involved had bikes. :D

We could be finding out very soon. There's a new film in the planning stages as we speak.

Yes, a new He-Man movie is in the works.

He-Man Returning to the Big Screen
Source: Variety
May 24, 2007

Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver are working with Mattel to turn "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" into a live-action film, reports Variety. Justin Marks is set to write the script. Silver will produce.

He-Man was born as a Mattel action figure, and the toymaker created an animated series in hopes of selling dolls. The series became a cult favorite, but the brand was hardly helped by its first big screen incarnation, the campy 1987 flop Masters of the Universe that starred Dolph Lundgren as the title character and Frank Langella as his nemesis Skeletor.

The franchise has been reimagined by the producer and the writers and pitched to Mattel as a classic good vs. evil battle, using the kind of visual effects strategy employed in 300. A warrior is touted as the last hope of a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.

Many of the characters will be informed by the mythology created in the four different cartoon series done since the 1980s.

OT: I loved Voltron [v3: lion force] as a kid but after learning of the storyline and violence edits I'm not too keen on the show and anxiously await the DVD release of the original show Golion.

Gosh, remember when a He-Man could be Master of the Universe? Now they can not even get their check cashed at the Albertsons.

Wathced it, and had most all of the toys including Skelators lair. Also had the most awesome He-Man game for my Intellivision.

I had lots of the toys (my Dad worked for Mattel - duh) and....somewhere in the archaives....there is a phallic picture of one of them.

Yeah, He -Man always makes me think of dildos
