King Randor

As a kid I remember seeing this guy in the toy store and thinking,"He's lame, all he does is sit and rule a kingdom" Maybe if he came with laser shooting action or robot legs but a crown seemed to offend me as a kid. ( I don't question my kid brain)

Rio Blast

I think I have used up most of the staples of Masters of the Universe and now we enter the age of weird and strange side support characters. I never even heard of this character, but you can tell from the hair do alone that he's a Tom Seleck or Chuck Norris badass. The Mustache completes him.

Extendor

I had this one when I was a kid as well. When he was fully extended, he towered over all the master of the universe characters at twice their height. He was pretty impressive and was the beginning of all the silly characters.

Faker

I really liked this toy has a kid, a cross between Skeletor and He-man, AWESOME!!! But to think that he was made to infiltrate He-mans life and no one would notice. Again,adding to the absurdity of this franchise.

Teela,"Good Morning He-man.........did you do something with your boots?!...oh well never mind"

Snout Spout

I first saw this guy in a mini He-man comic in some magazine. My first thought was ,"this looks stupid". At some point I think He-man toys(absurd to begin with) Just turned into outlandish ridiculous things. Which is what gives this toy line its appeal to many, including myself.

Roboto

Another one I didn't have has a kid, nor did any of my friends. You think he be more popular seeing has he's a robot. Yeah, I don't have nothing for this guy......perhaps he's like robocop if he was built by the Carebears.

Rattlor

This guy was part of the Snakemen. I don't recall the snake me in the actual show. I think they came late in the series. But this guy had a button that you press on his back and his head would spring out and if you shook em, well he sounded like a rattle. Great for babies, unless they pressed the button and his head would shoot down the babies throat. That's horrible, I'm going to hell for thinking that or it could be a warning. -(WARNING - could choke your baby)

SyClone

I had this guy has a kid, he had a little gear on the back that you could make his entire body spin around and his arms would flail outward creating a giant cyclone that would suck kids up into the air where you could fly so high that you would enter Care-A-Lot. Ohhh, I'm gonna do the Carebears next....I'm getting waaaay ahead of myself.

Ninjor

If you asked any kid in the 80's about a Ninja, he shit his pants with excitement. So what does it say when I saw this Masters of the Universe Ninja type character called Ninjor and it made me go,"That looks stupid". Perhaps my little kid brain knew there's no Ninja's in He-mans world.

Zodac

I never owned Zodac nor did I want to. I never understood the character, what was he, an alien, ghost, something to do with Greyskull?? I don't know, hes a loser in my book. LOOOOSSEEERRR!!!
