My favorite part of this special is that it actually changed the He-man story. His mom the queen of Eternia knows about Earth because, get this, she was an astronaut from Earth. That's right He-man is half Earthling!
Just in case anyone's interested, She-Ra eventually married Skeletor, who after much counseling overcame the shame and humiliation he endured as a child for having no face. He is now the manager of the Bed, Bath & Beyond at Eternia Mall.
And He-Man actually became a bit of a dick. After King Randor past away, Adam ascended to the throne and passed quite a few tithes on the citizens of Eternia in order to build a new Castle Grayskull with modern plumbing and heating. He is divorced from Teela and shares custody of their two children.
Now I have an image of Cringer draped in tinsel lapping up eggnog. Awwww.
You right-thinking Xtian kids got all the good stuff. Being a no-good heathen mud-person all I ever got were used, chewed-on Micronauts and many lumps of coal, which were welcome as it kept our hovel warm during the bitter Maine winters. I only had one (1!) real Star Wars toy during my entire 25-year childhood, an IG-88 action figure. I told myself he was my favorite anyways and cried myself to sleep on a pile of wood chips and my old man's beer bottles.
@Grey_Area: I always enjoyed the Micronauts comic book from Marvel. It seemed to have an awful lot of nudity and quasi-nudity for a series based on a line of children's toys.
I've always loved the fact that Masters of the Universe began as a toy line for the first Conan movie, but Mattel freaked out after seeing a rough cut of the film, dumped the license, and repurposed the molds for a more wholesome original IP. In some adjacent parallel universe, Moff awoke to find not Castle Greyskull, but Thulsa Doom's Cannibal Orgy Snake Chamber.

This needs to be RiffTraxed even more than the Star Wars Holiday special!
