Masters of the Universe - Toy Figures

Masters of the Universe was a media franchise that appeared back in 1981, back when "ET" and "Annie" were in movie theaters.

The series began as a bunch of mini-comics that were released between 1981 and 1983. In these comics, a barbarian called He-Man protected "Castle Grayskull" from the evil warlord Skeletor, who had crossed over from another dimension.

The franchise also spawned a cartoon series (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe), which ran between 1983 and 1985. Those of you who watched this show will probably remember the famous lines: "By the power of Grayskull... I have the Power!" Here's the iconic opening theme:



Throughout the 80s, toy figures of characters from the franchise were released.
