Evil-Lyn's Radar Gun

Thanks again to DolphisMaster for the tip!

Profiles In History also has the Evil-Lyn Radar Gun up for auction! This is the device Evil-Lyn used in the film to "look" into the past to verify Karg's story... which we all know wasn't exactly truthful. ;)



Here's the description from Profiles:

Meg Foster “Evil Lyn” hero motorized radar gun from Masters of the Universe. (Cannon Group, 1987) This pistol was used by Meg Foster as “Evil-Lyn” and in the film functions as a secret scanner that can be used to see into the past. Constructed of black fiberglass and aluminum parts, the piece originally had a sight on top and an additional radar arc, which are no longer present. Measures 19 in. long.

He-Man "Hero" Costume

Thanks again to DolphisMaster for the tip!

Profiles In History has one of the He-Man "Hero" costumes up for auction! Though it is incomplete, this is still a beautiful example of the suit. With an estimated value of $2500- $3500, I only wish I could afford it...



Here's the description from Profiles:

(Cannon Group, 1987) Fantastic hero costume worn by Dolph Lundgren as “He-Man” consisting of a burgundy lace-up briefs with integral leather belts, tooled leather gauntlet, armband with faux red jewel and ornate leather spaulders (shoulder armor).

Skeletor's Movie Costume On Display!

Thanks to the head's up from He-Man.org member Dolphismaster who pointed that the Oklahoma City Museum Of Art has a display running right now entitled "Sketch To Screen", focusing on movie costumes. The display includes the main Skeletor movie costume, complete with staff and Cosmic Key props! WOW!

There's a short video on their site explaining the exhibit, with a couple of great shots of the costume. Click HERE to check it out. There's also a photo gallery from the exhibit, but these are the best 2 shots I could find of it on their site:





If any readers plan a visit, PLEASE take some pictures of it and send them over to me at mastersoftheuniverseclassics@live.com I'll be sure to credit you!

"The Cosmic Key" Mattel Mini-Comic

Packed in with the 3 movie-inspired action figures (Blade, Saurod, & Gwildor)included in Mattel's "Masters Of The Universe" toyline, this comic depicts a VERY different first-meeting between everyone involved. This story is one of the shortest (if not THE shortest) mini-comics produced by Mattel. It also features horrendous art and Gwildor talking in weird thought bubbles half the time. Enjoy!















Wait...huh!?!? That was Gwildor's plan? Have He-Man throw his sword at the key and that just makes it work?!? My brain hurts...

Movie Memorabilia: Japanese TOWA Promotional Book

Why couldn't we get a great lobby book like this here in the states? When TOWA imported MOTU into the Japanese market, the produced this lavish promotional book. The book measures around 11.5" by 8.5" and is filled with beautiful shots from the film and a bunch of text that I'm sure is quite interesting (if only I could read Japanese...).























And yes, I know the images are a bit small. I will eventually load larger pics up at he-man.org, but for now you're just gonna have to squint a little. ;)
