Entry: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe - A850853
Author: Nylarthotep - U200240

I knew a guy who had the same haircut as He-Man and a somewhat butch girlfriend...we called them He-Man and She-Ra.

my god that was fantastic. It took me back to the good old days when my She-Ra doll's hair grew when I brushed it and we ran around with orange plastic swords shouting
"by the power of greyskull"

usual blah on guideml
typos
"Cringer, Adams pet Eternian Tiger"
Adam's

"who made her way as a warrior alongside enough"
maybe a comma? warrior, alongside

"red radition, and a verifocal lense so that he could "
radiation and varifocal

What were the great She-Ra bad guys then? As Horkak went to Eternia, who did she fight? I remember Catra (and her Cat) as a bad girl. I also seem to remember a frost character who had a wand (which I lost behind the back of a cupboard once) that spun (and froze people) when she blew into it. I think she was good though.

I would suggest, maybe having a bigger section on She-Ra and adding it to the title, or doing a companion article and linking them together.

Ok just gone into sad remembering stage and was thinking about the swirly lights when adam and aurora changed into he-man or she-ra. (You could add a bit about the castle appearing in the background whenever they did that). I had one of those ribbons on a stick and used to swirl it around my head and pretend I was she-ra. Sitting here cringing, but still wanting it to work

My knowledge of the She-Ra characters is limited...but I remember that there was one called "Castaspella" who must have been a sorceress of some kind.

Maybe an article on the She-Ra stuff is needed separatly?

All I can remember is little bits and pieces, so I'm not sure if i would be of much help. She did have a horse which changed into a flying unicorn.

I'll see what I can find and maybe write a linked article

That's a fine idea...He-Man would be proud.

I recently saw the He-Man movie. It was _terrible_. Hmm, that is all I have to say, except it seems Courteney Cox appearance in this movie was her first non-television role.
Not having cable I was spared the full onslaught of the media machine, but I still envied those who had a green plastic tiger with purple stripes...

I did and he was very cool!

This looks great,

love that opening; very punchy and bang on target!

Now i must demonstrate that i am among that number by asking, wasn't Beast Man's main thing that he could 'control' any beast and enlist their aid in pathetically ill-fated attempts to bring Skeletor's evil machinations to fruition?

guide ml will indeed make this look considerably 'glossier', specially as there are so many headers and subheaders just crying out for a splash of orange (brunel man, me! )

anyway
all the best with this

Duly noted and amended, Spiff.

Everyone else has made the usual pointer suggestions, so I'll just add...

LOVE this. Congrats!

Loved writing it and wandering down memory lane!

Love the article, well written with a nice line in humour.
My He Man figures are in the loft at my parents house. Maybe i should liberate them?
Why was it that Adam was paled skinned but as soon as he turned into HE Man he suddenly aquired a David Dickinson ronseal tan?
I actuelly had the hots for Teela and Evil Lyn in the Movie. The only redeemable features in that film were Teelas costume.
Where's Orco?

I wondered whether it was worth mentioning characters that were periferal such as the Sorceress, the king and queen, Zodiac and Orco...But as Orco did eventually get an action figure then I may slot them in there.

You should really think about digging those old action figures out as Mattel are about to flood the market with new editions and that's sure to make the original thing a much saught after commodity...It helps if the figures are in good nick and have their accesories.
