"The awesomeness of Mon-chi-chis" (oh so soft and cuddle-y) is my first takeaway from this video. My second is how impressively you've woven the original Glut/Alcala story of He-Man's origin into Wun-Darr's. I see that and I deeply love it.

Great video! Thank you! This was a fun figure set, and the only time so far that I've had to resort to evilBay for a MOTUC item. I wasn't as plugged in back then, and hadn't found out about the subscription -- and didn't know it could be available outside the USA -- until it was too late. But, thanks to the help of a couple of my friends back in the States, I was finally able to bag one and his map. And as soon as the offer for the 2011 sub was up, I signed up, and continued to do so until the very end. 😉

@@spectorcreative1872 I collect a lot of different toy lines and the MOTU Classics line is easily one of my favorites! There are so many great interpretations of awesome characters in the line, plus cool characters who were never made into figures before! For me personally, once a figure gets up into the $50 range, it becomes difficult for me to pick up. Classics Beast Man and Scareglow are two that I would love to own, but those two are tough to find at $100 now. As much as I do love those two figures, $100 is just too much for me.

When I got around to explaining who he was I felt a little foolish because I realized after all these years I STILL didn't know if the original was a real figure or not!

One of the coolest MOTUC bonus toys, and a nice nod to the mystery of Wonder-bread He-man. I remember getting it as a subscription, and agonising over whether to open or leave on card. See I knew it would skyrocket in price, but i bought it because I knew I’d never be able to own an ‘actual’ Wonderbread he-man figure. Scott what did me in, and finally made me open it, was that darn loaf of bread accessory. I could repaint a basic he-man figure and armour black, but I wanted to pose him holding a loaf of bread. To this day I don’t regret opening him though, because it was such a cool feeling to hold Wundar in my hands after dreaming of owning a motu wonderbread in real life. Given the larger size of motu classics, it probably was close to scale with how my young hands would have held him had I a wonderbread as a kid. Of course I never knew about it growing up so not exactly a childhood dream, but it was special to me. So thanks!

Not sure how closely you follow Facebook groups, Scott, but Mark and Becca (Taylor) confirmed about a year ago that Premium He-Man (as he was known internally) was, in fact, a give away figure that was a retailer incentive both by mail-in and in store promotion. Mark doesn't remember all of the details but this would seem to gel with most of the details people have come up with and he only would have had the maroon weapons with no weapons pack vest. I'm guessing part of the problem was after the move to the newer HQ in El Segundo that a lot of documentation has sadly been lost to the halls of time as it were. It also had NOTHING to do with Conan which is another popular rumor people continue to spread even though the whole case with CPI LLC. vs. Mattel had been done and settled before much real work was ever started on the line and that was all Big Jim scale.

I grew up during the 80s but I can't say I saw this figure anywhere or on anything. Yet somehow it looks really familiar to me. I really wanted the MOTUC Wundar figure but couldn't afford the subscription. Of course, the price has skyrocketed on the secondary market, so that's out. Then I voted for Wundar in the recent Origins poll and he lost, so there goes that hope. Maybe they will make him in the future though. Fingers crossed.

Where did the art from his bio come from? Was there any paperwork for the glued together keldor twin 200X swords being at distribute power-con? If not, that could be the "wonderbread he-man" 25 years from now... I think the original figure was indeed from the same Taiwan vendor, but officially. They where probably distributed to an east of the Mississippi chain like childworld or toy palace. Probally through an already existing BOGO promotion which could be why no aditional paperwork could be found. If you look at that mega thread on he-man.org, few of these these authentic figures ever showed up in random vintage childhood collections sold second hand outside that region. The few that do are usually east coast or canada, probably belonging to a family that moved after geting "wonder he-man". I do not think a "wild" wonder-bread he-man has ever been found by a collector outside north America which would be odd for a bootleg manufactured by Taiwan wouldn't it? Given how few people worked on the 1982-1983 series it is odd nobody interviewed has recolection of him in this deco...perhaps he was a last minute conan redeco ordered from on high shortly before higher ups realizing how R rated the film was. Given away as part of an existing motu promotion would mitigate any legal ramifications via the CPI lawsuit. Also time to ditch any paperwork which could prove a connection if it existed. It could have all been one person in charge of the unproduced conan line responsible for all of this. This could have also spawn the legend that he-man started from mattel making conan figures. Did you ever find anything regarding mattel's work on the Conan line in the archives? (Its been speculated that "vykor" and "demo-man" as you named them probally where conan afterall but filed incorrectly as Mark Taylor and Tony Guerrero worked on both lines.) You say there is no internal documentations, but what about that black short test shot as featured in the "Vol.1 art book" from SDCC? I know test shots come in all kinds of colors, but that flesh tone and black belt/short is very coincidental. I totally think we need to submit this to the youtuber Wang as he and his community are really good at solving internet mysteries that date back to the days of geocities and angelfire...

So when I was a kid growing up in the 80’s my parents had a friend of a friend who worked at a factory that made MOTU figures, well to make some extra cash him and some other people would sneak pieces out like full figures and accessories and they would throw them together to sell at the cheap to the community. I never had a MOTU figure that I actually picked out at the store or opened, but I did have a bunch of figures that came with or without armor, sometimes it was just Skeletors or He-Man’s armor on them but as a kid I didn’t care I had them. It wasn’t till many years later that I realized this or that some figures had different colored hair or skin to the body they were attached too, so I think your theory is dead on that it was a bootleg of some kind.

@@ehenyor I mean overall, though. I guess he would have mentioned it if there was anything. In a past video about Fuerza-T he said that Mattel doesn't like to push the envelope when it comes to anything questionable, and since the origin of this figure is completely unknown, I thought it might have been seen as questionable.

Authentic, legitimate Mattel. Not official until well after the CPI lawsuit was over. My question is why would Mattel make this while CPI was suing them? Maybe a middle finger to CPI or Remco?

I remember this and I don't have any proof or ad, but to my knowledge I remember feeling disappointed because I didn't have the money to buy my own MOTU, but my parents owned a business and we would buy bread in bulk, specifically Wonder bread. Each loaf had one card. The deal was that you had to buy a certain amount of bread and also a certain amount of MOTU figures. It was a cross promotion to get you to buy bread and MOTU. So if you had a certain amount UPC's from the bread and a certain amount MOTU UPC's then you'd mail it in and get a mystery figure. I remember the ad at the Wonder bread store. I remember I had plenty of UPC'S from the bread, but I didn't have the UPC'S from the MOTU cards. Like I was in the 1rst grade, and I didn't think to keep my card backs. So essentially, I remember the emotion of not being able to get all the UPC's to mail them in. In the 80s a lot of food companies paired with toy companies to get you to buy both their products and the toy products. The ad for the cards was a separate promotion. Because Wonder Bread did 2 promotions with MOTU. It was 1985. I remember distinctively, because out of all those cross promotion in the 80s this was the one that I really, really wanted but never was able to get. So that is the secret. Again I don't have the proof, but I remember, I remember, I remember, and I never forgot. Just never told anyone because this was my way of keeping one of the secrets of Castle Grayskull all to myself. It was a cross promotion between the two companies Mattel, and Wonder bread. I believe they stopped the cross promotion because many of us were like in elementary school and it was just too much on us kids to purchase the food product and the toy product. I think Mattel realized that and just started doing their own buy 3 get a free. Because the very next year when I was in the second grade they tried that promotion with POP, which if you look it up their is a commercial for that particular mail in offer. By that time wonder bread had the mail in for the collection of cards offer, so that was their second MOTU promotion. Which was all just a gimmick for us to buy more products to make more money for both companies. He was just the brown haired He-man with no armor on, I had an older friend who actually had him. He didn't have any weapons at all. Now, looking back as an adult I think one of Mattel's factories must of effed up the paint deco and decided to salvage the figures they created in a smart way where Mattel would still profit off the little mistake. That happens all the time with companies trying to fix the mistake at the factory, but not lose money at the same time. Happens alot with food companies where they will mess up and all of a sudden they offer this special, limited time flavor of their product. Then you start to like it and you never see it again. The reason so many people, including yourself remember him as Wonder bread He-man is because he was actually the joint venture/cross promotion between the two companies. Wonder bread had more than one promotion with MOTU. And Mattel had another promotion too also on their own. I think it was like 10 bread UPC'S and one toy UPC. The idea was to get the person to spend around 15 dollars. Which was alot for a 1rst grader with no allowance in the 80s. And I remember opening the bread up to get those cards out and I saved those bread UPC's, I just didn't get the MOTU card UPC. Once I did the deadline was up and I missed out on him. I remember the promotion clear as day, the stand up sign in the store and everything. My parents used to take me all the time, I loved those twinkies. I remember, because when I got the card that was in the loaf it was the only time that a loaf a bread was like a box of cereal with a prize inside. 🤯🤯🤯 Now the rest of us can remember too.

@@williamthompson5504 it was def a bootleg albeit sent off by Mattel. Who abruptly ended the promotion because people (or one parent in particular) complained about the character being generic asf and not He-Man. Pretty sure he made a video that finally got to the bottom of this. They likely disbursed them afterwards, which is how many of us obtained him as a kid.
