    Finally, Skeletor can every bit as homoerotic as He-Man.

    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.

    Sweet, sweet Holiday Memories.

    @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'd nearly forgotten about this abomination! I remember it being cheesy and completely nonsensical even by He-Man standards (and that takes a lot).


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

    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.
