The Lost Unproduced Sequels to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: He-Ro - Son of He-man! MOTUC

I new you would explain this nonsense. The new team clearly didn't care of your wonderful job in the past years. You are the one that kept this brand alive and fought hard to keep it for us fans. I own every Motuc except the Bronze Grayskull (one day sooner than later). I've always loved this line since 1982. I still collect them. All what can be done on Motu. I'm sad you're gone because you added a lot of communication with the fans. Even though I'm French, I keep following you. I still run Musclor. org FB group and also my French KZbin channel MortalG about all Pop-Culture heroes. Of course Motu are my first. I wake up motu, I sleep motu 😜 many thanks for continuing the legeng behind. I hope one day to have the joy to interview you on my KZbin channel. Every Thursdays I do a live with a fan a collector and we discuss, share and then he shares his own collection. Maybe you will be one day my guest... Gary Goddard has accepted to be in my March 28th Live with Arnaud Brun. We will do a Motu Thema so Arnaud will show us his Original Dolph Sword and Cosmic Key and Gary will join us. I'm so happy.

Great stuff! I was going to use the extra Vykron I got many years ago to make a torn-in-half "Defeated by Gygor" Vykron, but I guess I'm now going to make him into He-Ro II! Good thing I rarely had the time to customise, back in the day . . . .

[@spectorcreative1872]

See, he was worth keeping!

[@WiiMan25]

So, like I've said before, watching your videos specifically got me interested in He-Man for the first time since the 200X days, and got me interested in the Classics line. So all thanks to you, I got Classics He-Ro II from BigBadToyStore a couple months ago as a way to sort of "cap off" my childhood with He-Man and start fresh with the line (I'm starting fresh collecting Origins now, while occasionally scouring for Classics on places like eBay. Might even snag a Super7 or two from BBTS down the line). In my mind, I'm going the Classics-as-a-200X-continuation route based on what I learned from your videos, and the He-Ro II figure I have is indeed the son of the 200X He-Man I owned and played with as a kid. I've been looking forward to a He-Ro II video from you since then, and this was a really cool one. I like how it also sort of doubles as a Secrets of He-Ro II towards the end. I personally don't mind the blue pants/harness look and I'm fine with it, but I still display mine with the New Adventures armor because I think it looks better, and I like the idea that the 1988 pitch evolved into New Adventures and paying homage to that. Because of that Vykron bit and your high encouragement of part-swapping customization in general, a part of me wants to put He-Ro II's head on another figure to make my own He-Ro variant a la Thunder Punch/Flying Fists He-Man. But like, a "Thunder Punch He-Ro II". Or "Flying Fists He-Ro II". Or "Ninja He-Ro II". Or "Dentist He-Ro II". Or "He-Ro II if he was also Fisto II". Or whatever. I've heard He-Ro II is controversial in the fanbase but I've personally grown to really like the guy.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Yeah for an odd reason some fans did not like him despite him being part of the brand since the 80's. I think most people like there stories to stay as they are, no change if you will. More here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWXWlX6Ao7qpaZY

I’ve done multiple videos on this! Check the latest uploads!

The canon origin of He-Ro is that he is King Adam's nephew, the son of Adora and Sea Hawk!!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Actually, the canon is he is Adam and Teela's biological kid. See the MOTUC mini comic # 6

I always figured dare (series bible1) was the son of keldor and evil lynn dumped in a future and raised by jungle animals who end up moving in with him and pulling filmation level shenanigans. and is a biter (marvel also gave He-man a son but he looked like man at arms more than adam and teela never told him of his parentage and neither did adam) theres also adora and sea hawks brat (the mouse fears him you know small kids and small obkects right?) and eventually would need to fight his mom as other dare would need to fight skeletor who figures out what evil lynn did and laugh at the irony of his son becoming a successor to he-man any concolation if I got this I would put the silver armor on and just keep it that way)

While their was some speculation about this, non of the vintage story bibles went in this direction

A correction on the Flash characters. The Flash characters are not designated as "Flash I", "Flash II", "Flash III". They are called by their "Real Names". Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, so on. Among fans the names are so common they don't say "The Flash" when talking about one of these Flash characters. They are treated to some extent as if they were part of a team, or "The Flash Family", or as if "The Flash" was a title. The timelines/multi-verse/lack of a multiverse are complicated and changing enough that it's difficult to say "The Second Flash" let alone "Flash II" since in-world there may or may not have been a Barry Allen at any time.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Yes, but in licensor kits and in the industries this is how the names are used (just FYI). But you do bring up a great point

[@shawnwilson7355]

What do you think of DC and Motu injustice crossover

[@spectorcreative1872]

I dug it.

[@Agrippaiscariot666]

Say Spector Creative you know what I would've done had I been in your position in Mattel? I'd have taken the old comic version of He-man's origin where he was a shepard's son & used it for part of the origin of King Grayskull.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Hey a valid story as well and part of why their is now a Masters-verse

[@mikeyjhilli]

and once again I say that's what I like about the line. Take what could have been and make it so. This video got me to thinking. Ok. You say running out of characters to do. So if a second modern day create a figure contest wasn't an option why not create some new one's in house? Was it because the Masters line was a side project and not y our main job?

[@spectorcreative1872]

We did create new ones in house. Lady Slithor is one example!

Sorry Scot t I know I asked this before. No worries if you don't remember. But in the link you put in this video Description to the .org thread about this, there's a transcription of the page from this bible that you showed at SDCC on the the 'Icarius or Flipshot' slide. On the first line of the transcription there's a character name that cant quite be made out, something like Madre? Are able to confirm the spelling of this name and give us any details/description about the character please? Thanks.

[@spectorcreative1872]

I'm guessing Mara from New Adventures. All the New Adventures figures were in this bible

[@Mendoc13977]

@@spectorcreative1872 thanks for the reply Scott. The name looks like it has 5 letters though. Maybe an early spelling of Mara similar to the Icarius/Flipshot type thing. I dont suppose you have that one 'Icarius or Flipshot?' silde with the page on do you that you could look at or even post? As the transcript on post #14 on the Org thread was done from a photo someone in the crowd took, so would be great to see it in a better resolution with the text more clear. No worries if not, I'm just fascinated by this SoHM 88 bible is all and cant believe this piece of MOTU history is likely lost forever.

[@RetroActionUK]

Now this IS lost in history.

Sad I know

[@stevensteviepryde5888]

I found it weird they decided to change New Adventures from being about He-Man's son taking place in a future era to being about He-Man being sent to said future era. That plot point really confuses me and I would have preferred He-Ro II to be the main character

[@spectorcreative1872]

Yeah it could have been much different

[@andrewquick4176]

I much prefer the name He-Ro being used for the son of Adam and Teela rather than a previous hero Or being an adoptive son

I’m glad we never got this shit. We would have totally hated it as much, if not more, than the original show because this feels very close to that shit they served up called New Adventures! I think they learned their lesson though. They know we just wanna see a show based on he-man, and has all the characters we know and love.

[@frankpetersen6624]

@@spectorcreative1872 yeah if everything you’re saying on other continuing versions you say of this show are true, no thank you. New adventures of He-Man were a disaster. I was screwed in having to buy these figures through my mattycollector subscriptions and as I predicted, most of those figures are barely worth what I had to pay for them. I hope that wasn’t your idea to include them scott! Lol

[@frankpetersen6624]

The truth of the matter is, is as cool as He-Ro is because I really like his design, both releases of that figure are still very affordable if you want to buy them, which tells me, fans don’t care about He-Ro and it would be a disaster to ever have a show with him and the terribly drawn characters in it. This is what I think of “Kay-La: visualize me making the jerking off gesture as I’m rolling my eyes 🙄
