100% agree. I don't remember a single time hearing anyone was injured (totally different meaning today) with caps. Now, lawn darts and M80's...different story:) How many of our generation remember holding those mini bottle rockets...by hand...to shoot them off?

No kidding. Talk about clutching pearls. Caps had way less potential energy than a Black Cat that kids bought by the hundreds every 4th of July. The little sparkers that were part of some toys presented a much greater fire hazard. It's just pussification over time.

This was a great re-imaginging of the original figure. Loved the Thunder Punch effect piece, too. Would love it if DC published a trade paperback supplement of the last five mini-comics. I really enjoyed the Vintage figure, too. I dunno if anyone else had this problem, but my original Thunder Punch He-Man's backpack broke, but it was one of the metal pins on the wheel that snapped off, so I could only fire seven caps in a row, then rotate the cap-ring one place and fire the last cap. Heh. The scene where Luke says "I present to you a gift..." with Beedo skulking in the background on the left. Love it!

Man, I am not a toy collector, but I would LOVE to have this figure. I have to say, the job that you and the horsemen did was phenomenal. When you look back at all those figures from when we were kids, they just don't hold up to our memories (which is why I think the origins line is dumb). But y'all somehow managed to make the Classics figures look exactly as cool as they were in our memories. ...I hope that made sense.

It does make sense, for some reason the Classics buck captures the essence of vintage MOTU that charmed its way to all of ua adult now. The Classics buck, no matter how most people claim that it is already outdated now, is still unmatched by the current MOTU Origins line (I still think soon Masterverse line will still not match it). Supet7 Ultimates! line is still harvesting the charm of the Classics buck currently.

I had the original as a kid, but didn't know what the backpack was for. I got the figure secondhand, and I'd only seen the kind of caps that were on a roll of paper. I realized when I was a bit older what it was for, but didn't know what ever happened to the figure by then. Also pretty sure the backpack didn't work right on mine, I seem to remember it never wanting to stay closed.

I have dubbed him "Thunder Punch Wun-Dar" and he is one of the crown jewels of my collection. My guess is one of the toy's previous owners owned Wun-Dar via mail-in back in the day, and painted the Thunder Punch He-Man's hair to match?

Btw, how do the rights work when it comes to certain characters showing up in say a comic book? Like, in Masters of the Multiverse, it features movie He-Man and Filmation He-Man. Are those designs that Mattel could do and say they're Masters of the Multiverse variants? I know Super7 used some loopholes (such as concept art and various vintage comics).

Loved Thunder Punch He-Man, my first ever action figure and one of my only Classics figures I bought. I think his semi-translucent yellow sword is the coolest power sword in both lines. I can't wait to see what Origins does for him. I still want to get ahold of the New Adventures version, but he's so tough to find. As for the caps, I think dynamite is a huge leap, they are just small amounts of gunpowder really. I hate that something as innocuous as caps has become like brand poison or something - I still see occasional cap guns at dollar stores and shops. One of the coolest parts of existing in the 80s and 90s was playing with caps - still brings me joy today! Moms are unreal....and so are the neutered childhoods of these soft kids today

Thunderpunch He-Man holds special significance for me: he was the last vintage MOTU figure I ever got brand new. My grandfather bought it for me from Bi-Mart when we were on a trip over. A little later, we went to Fred Meyer's and I saw Modulok and wanted him, too, but my grandfather told me, "No, I got you the other one, that's what you're getting." In hindsight, if I had gotten Modulok, he'd probably be mostly lost by now! Will you ever do a video featuring all of the members of the Zodak Force I keep seeing in these videos? The one with the large torso reminds me of Sy-Klone

Parents in the last 20 or 30 year has made their kids into pangees. We use to wave in creeks and go into the hills and swing on vines and so on like a lot of kids did when I was growing up. Doing things like that and playing with figures gave us a mind to create and use our imagination. We use to play cowboy and Indians and had fun. I feel sorry for the kids or children today. Hardly no imagination, just what they see on a video game. Its ashame that parents are afraid for their kids to fall down or get cut or something that mit happen to help the child grew and to learn. Thank goodness for the days of my growing up and children of the time and days when they grew up and learn to play and imagination. Lovd ur history of the figures. Even today I use my imagination.

This would have been a pretty hard figure to screw up in Classics. He came out as a perfect re-creation of the vintage figure. I had Thunder Punch as a kid and he was my only He-Man who "held up" in good cosmetic condition, but I didn't like him and still used my original He-Man with missing armor and all the paint worn off his hair. I remember calling him "mustard and ketchup" because I didn't like his colors. He smelled awful too, thanks to the caps. And I think the mechanism in mine broke, as I remember his upper body was very loose and he'd wiggle all around.

The 3 new mini comics were trash. The snap caps were fun, They weren't "dangerous". Sometimes a spark might get your finger but it happened to me my once or twice ever with a cap gun. That said I never got a TP He-Man but always wanted one. The Classics Thunder Punch He-Man is one of my favorite figures in the entire MOTU Classics line. Great colors, design, and he just pops! Pretty cool video of this release.

Come on now, caps didn't use dynamite. They generally used "Armstrong's Mixture". Which is more unstable than dynamite. ;) It's a bit overly dramatic to suggest that caps were/are a safety hazard. It's certainly true though that toy guns in general have stopped being viewed as socially acceptable (for better or for worse), and that's probably the biggest reason for the decline of cap based toys. I would suggest it's probably also relevant that children playing outside unsupervised has also become something viewed as unacceptable, and parents were never especially keen on the noise and smell of caps indoors.
