Join Jay Glatfelter (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan Larson (Secret Galaxy) with special guest James Eatock (Cereal Geek) as they talk about the animated Filmation series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. James wrote He-Man and She-Ra: A Complete Guide to the Classic Animated Adventures and brings his extensive knowledge of animated He-Man to this discussion. We dive into the effect of the FCC easing its ban on toy based cartoons that opened the door for the Filmation series, our first experiences with the Internet, and whether or not James is a believer in Wonder Bread He-Man.

Join Jay and Dan with special guest Jay from Sludge Central and the Purple Stuff Podcast as they talk about Masters of Universe in 1983, the second year of the toyline. MOTU still didn’t reach its peak in ’83 but there were a lot of iconic releases like Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops, Panthor and Point Dread. ’83 had the best run of Mini-Comics and the start of the Filmation series. It also had the infamous “Wonder Bread” He-Man or as he was later dubbed Wun-Dar. We’ll talk about all of that and more on this episode of Toy Geeks!

It’s 1982, the first year of the Masters of the Universe toy line from Mattel. With the first 8 figures including He-Man and Skeletor. The first vehicles, beasts and the legendary Castle Grayskull. Year one of MOTU had a lot to offer kids of the 80s. Join Jay and Dan as they dive in to 1982’s Masters of the Universe toys!
