This book is TOTALLY AWESOME. “The Toys of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” is a massive book, just slightly passing 750 pages, which covers essentially the Mattel line of He-Man toys and accessories starting with the original 1982 figures through various incarnations as well as the more recent nostalgic classics lines. (She-Ra is here as well!) Flipping through the pages felt like waves and waves of nostalgia from revisiting toys and characters remembered. For me, it reminded me of looki...
Un libro excelente que recoge todos las figuras de las diversas colecciones de la línea Masters del Universo, con imágenes de alta calidad, descripciones pormenorizadas e incluso enumeración de variantes desde los primeros juguetes hasta justo el comienzo de la actual línea Origins. Bien editado y de peso. Satinado. Un catálogo repleto de nostalgia y detalles. También con textos de apoyo y entrevistas, resulta imprescindible si adoras este mundo de tecnobarbaros y espada y brujería.
Masters of the Universe came out right in the prime of my childhood. They were the "IT" toy for every 4th grade boy at our school. This book brings back a lot of nostalgia along with the realization there were way more toys than I ever knew existed. Included in this book are references pages for every action figure produced along with information on variants. It's not just the original toy line from 1982 either. It covers all of the MOTU lines through 2020, including the She-Ra lines. There's al...
I would like to thank edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I grew up with these characters in the early 80s, and while partial to She-Ra, I also enjoyed He-Man and all his adventures. This book is over 700 pages long and encompasses the entire Masters of the Universe universe. It is chock full of beautiful full colour photos, information, interviews, and little tidbits of information that wasn’t available before. A must for an He-Man and She-Ra fan.
More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/ Perhaps best characterized as a reference book, this 700+ monstrosity is one of the best books on collecting that I have ever read. Roughly 95% of the book is simply listing the various action figures, vehicles and playsets for the countless incarnations of the MOTU: One page for each, with beautiful pictures of the toy and the box it came in, verbal description of what the toy can do and additional pieces of insight.
"I have the power... to hold this massive book!" Oof!"The Toys of He-Man" is a muscular 700+page, full-color book, beautifully printed and filled with photos and details of every Masters of the Universe action figure produced by Mattel in the 1980s, including the sister spinoff line Princess of Power and the late 80s New Adventures of He-Man relaunch. Also included are the commemorative figures produced circa 2000, the gaudy hunchback 200X series, and the ridiculous plethora of "adult collectibl...
Having been a follower of the online Toy reviewing community, a collector of other toy lines and an on again off again viewer of Pixel Dan Eardley for years, this is something I was very curious about almost since it's announcement, despite never having more then a casual interest in Master of the Universe growing up. I picked it up from the author at a toy show back in November and have been reading a handful of pages a night and thanks to that, this book has definitely done it's job of being a...
750 pages of pictures of every He-Man toy released up to the publication of the book. If that is up your alley then this is perfect despite the few typos and printing errors. The best part is that it supplants your need to collect the toys and therefore saves you money in the end! Unless you have fomo and feel a need to track down all of these after seeing them in the book. Which would end up costing you waaaaay too much money.
Five stars since having this book helps me resist my periodic urges to collect the figures themselves - I imagine THAT would escalate quickly! Except now I want God Skeletor, having first seen him here!
A must have for any fan/collector. I got the book and read it cover to cover in 1 day. The detail and images took me back to my childhood. This is a nice coffee table book too.
You can’t argue with the sheer amount of content, though the size of the book is also the source of its only real flaw. The original line of figures is given equal space (per figure) as lesser known, less popular lines. There are hundreds of pages devoted to much more recent lines that I don’t think many people asked for. It would’ve been great to exchange these pages for bigger and more numerous pics of the original line of toys. Instead everything is squeezed into one page per figure regardles...
