Just playing catch up with your Go West vids Andy. Recently I have found myself quite pressed for time in the evenings and have missed a lot of premieres that I would normally watch live. Sorry about that but life is life… I always do catch up later though :)
Great stuff! Excellent choice on the Man At Arms, he's a striking figure and that one's been very nicely maintained. The He-Man figures were the last toys of my childhood and I was out of them before the cartoon series started unfortunately, but I did love them for their fantasy/scifi hybrid. I think I had all of the first wave, really loved the mini comics they came with too.As an adult collectior I got in on Super 7's Club Greyskull figures and have most of those as my MOTU representation in my collection as they're slavish to the cartoon's aesthetic and very well articualated and detailed. I had that Space Warriors book when it came out too and it provided endless fascination. Definitely a Star Wars cash-in (right down to the Han Solo-alike in on particular piece) but art sold me much more than the story. I added it back into my collection only a few years ago. I can recommend The Alien World by Steven Eisler from the same year for more amazing period artwork that continues to inspire. Looking forward to the next video!
That Space Warriors cover does look really nice. I never had the He-man figures as a kid despite enjoying the show. I do think that Man at Arms has an interesting design. I really want to pick up the Masterverse Battle Cat for my non-Transformers display space and I will probably be happy to just have that one Masters of the Universe item, at least for now. Nice little haul mate. 👍
Just sold all my mini rigs. Actually included a couple of figures in the lot.

Super 7s definitely look interesting for a number of shows, I'd guess they were precursors to Reaction figures?
‘His helmet’s quite soft’
Best line ever that I never expected to hear you say!
Ha! Dirty! Stay tuned, I guarantee you'll make the same comment on another video in a few weeks!
