So this will be a very special
Masters of the Universe showcase like no other with many
books & items that I have in My collection and some that was recently found in storage and this will a special one for
Halloween as well because I mean
MOTU is filled with spooky characters, scenery & stories so I thought it would be very apropos to do this now
![Bat Wink :batwink:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/batwink.gif)
Before I begin here's the first
item that I wanted to present and put in My
Vintage Action Figure Topic
BrandonDaCollector wrote:So here is a HUGE MAJOR showcase that I have been longing to do for such a while now, here's a quote from earlier this year when I presented My
Star Wars Grand Finale in My
Vintage Action Figure Topic... BrandonDaCollector wrote:VERY IMPORTANT!! Now this will be a totally unexpected entry because I never expected to showcase this simply because I couldn't locate it for a very long time then I got the urge to look for it one more time and only a few short days ago I FOUND IT, I found My
Playing Cards Box with tons of
Playing Cards within it that I had been searching for years for
![Superman Gasp :smgasp:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/smgasp.gif)
Ever since I was a youngster I loved to play
Cards with My Grandma and We'd play for hours late at night, it always so much fun
![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
She got Me a lot back in the
80s & 90s. I loved to play
War and I usually would beat Her after long games. Now within this
box is a ton of
Card Game Sets with many not even shown. My plan is to one day show them all in My Odds & Ends in all of their glory which I expect the showcase to be a huge one. Now in this
box I have on top some of My main ones like My giant
MOTU Cards, those are so awesome, My
Dinosaurs & Sea World, Busy Bee & WWF Superstars which also are great. There is also a superb
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Set as well which you are going to see all of it in fantastic detail in just a bit as it's the final yet a huge surprise entrant here in My
Part 6 Vintage Star Wars Showcase ![Shocked :shock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Now there is one that I couldn't stop thinking about all year last year in
2022 and that was My
Batman Returns Playing Cards ![Bat Confused :batconfused:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/bathuh.gif)
It was the 30th Anniversary of the film
![Bat Smile :batsmile:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/batsmile.gif)
Not only that, it holds a very special feat, milestone & memory to Me because it was THE LAST THING I EVER GOT AT
NATIONAL before they went out of business
![Bat Shocked :batshock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/batshock.gif)
I remember when Me & Grandparents were checking out I saw them in the little area there where books,
Mattel Hot Wheels & small supplies were there I saw
Batman Returns and I wanted it really bad and they got it for Me and this has always been one of My most cherished moments I ever had there which I will talk about this more and showcase it properly in time...you have no idea how important this was for Me to finally locate it after all of this time
![Bat Sad :batsad:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/batsad.gif)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/playin10.jpg)
So as I just talked about
Slap Jak of how it's like
MOTU, well here's My actual
Masters of the Universe Playing Cards. Now these are GIANT SIZED ones like My
Old Maid seen above. They are of
Golden which is actually
Whitman/Western hence their similarity, I loved playing these which is actually two games in one,
War & Conquer. I played these a ton with My Grandma. The
Card Backs are cool. Notice the
1983 Mattel Copyright, this year marks it's 40th Anniversary
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_110.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_210.jpg)
Now while I love these
Cards and the overall art of them, the character selection is rather slim with only
He-Man, Duncan/Man-At-Arms, Teela & Skeletor. I never knew the questionable choice behind this lacking decision I mean this
set could have been so much more because there was so many other characters that they could have chosen
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Despite that, this is one of My most prized items in My entire collection regardless of genre and I'm quite thankful to have it
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_310.jpg)
You can see the entire grand showcase here within My all crucial
Odds & Ends ---
http://www.dctoyrevolution.org/general-toy-discussions/my-odds-ends-insane-keychain-t1176-90.htmlNow I'm off to the never before seen
MOTU items of Mine that I believe any major
MOTU fan will love and may not even know about
![Bat Wink :batwink:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/batwink.gif)
So first is this
MOTU: He-Man & Battle Cat Book & Cassette Tape by
Kids Stuff
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__10.jpg)
My Mom got Me this, where I don't know. I loved to read to it by itself, listen to the
Tape and do both. I was always wanting to do stuff like that when I was a youngster
![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Here's the
front of the Book & Tape, they look very good
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__19.jpg)
Here's the
front & back + the Cassette Tape out of it's
Case.![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__20.jpg)
Here's a good gander at what the
Book is about inside and look at that
1983 Copyright, that's 40 years ago this
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__11.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__14.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__17.jpg)
Here's a close up of the
Cassette Tape. Look at all that info too
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__18.jpg)
Here's closer look at the
Talking Story Book's back Cover. It's really cute with these siblings & their dog chasing
UFOS and seeing a whole bunch of wondrous stuff including
Saturn. See when I was a youngster I was like that too, I loved this type of stuff, sports & comedy just wasn't on My radar yet, I wanted to learned and be mystified by things and really thank goodness I still have that spark in Me
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__15.jpg)
Now here's a size comparison of the
set with My previously seen
Mattel MOTU Skeletor figure, now that is cool
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/book__16.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden10.jpg)
Now here's these two great
Golden Super Adventure Books whom is
Whitman/Western, the makers of My
MOTU Playing Cards above. These have always been great and their titled
The Rock Warriors & Secret of the Dragon Egg. On
Secret of the Dragon Egg you'll notice the
cover's right corner looks bitten or chewed off. That's because it is and it was by Out pet Bunny Wabbit Mittens. She was so sweet, she was solid black with only her two front paws being white hence why she was named that. I really miss her
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden11.jpg)
So here's the inside of these great
Books. There's the
1985 Copyright
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden12.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden14.jpg)
This is THE
book that has
Goat Man in it
![Shocked :shock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Remember the huge reveal & deal that we got during the day of the
MOTUC line and that we actually got
Goat Man ![Question :?:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Well this was his only appearance
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden15.jpg)
Here's the the back
Covers plus My
Stamp that was custom that My Mom did for Me with most of My child hood books
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden13.jpg)
Now here's a comparison of
Golden's MOTU & My previously seen
Golden Go-Bots Book, now that history
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden26.jpg)
Now here we go with some
Golden MOTU Activity Books that My Grandma got Me
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden16.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden17.jpg)
First the
Paint with Water edition is quite special because We got this at
Kroger and when I recently found this
Book I was so euphoric about it because this is the only remnant I have of the original
Kroger which more on that in a bit but for now here's a big close up of the
Kroger Price Sticker
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/kroger12.jpg)
Here's a cool look inside of them both. The pictures look so good, I just loved these when I was a youngster and look at that
1983 Copyright, this year marks it's 40th anniversary
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden20.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden19.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden18.jpg)
Here we go back to
Kroger. Now there was a time when they went out of business and came back however like I said, this from the original
Kroger and I think and reminiscent this all the time and I'm quite thankful that I have this because I was a wee youngster with My Grandma and even though it was that long ago, I do recall a few brief fun moments there
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/kroger13.jpg)
Here's a good quote I posted earlier on in the year in this very fine topic of Mine I thought it was apropos to do so
BrandonDaCollector wrote:So in My first part of this wonderful Vintage [/b] showcase I said about My one
Imperial Stormtrooper was actually found at Our local
Kroger
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/kroger11.jpg)
Well, this is the area We found him. Again if you do not recall this most amazing find & moment of Mine/Our's, he was in an isle, I don't know which one but I know I saw him on the floor and My Grandma MiMi was like look Angel, look at what I found
![Sad :(](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
I was in the baby seat of the shopping cart and she gave Me him and he was MINE
![Surprised :o](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
I must have been 2, 3 or so years young, I have always found this to be such a milestone for Me
![Superman Gasp :smgasp:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/smgasp.gif)
He must have been dropped by an unknowing child there from the
K-Mart next door. His body is somewhat loose and he was stained and stuff so I have always pretended he is a
Sand Trooper. Look in My first part to see him to compare him with with a newer
Stormtrooper that I got when I was a bit older in the same line. Here is the back way to enter the plaza in recent times, (it's nothing now like it was back in the
80s or till it was all gone) I reminiscent this moment as much as I can when I look at the old
Kroger & K-Mart area, it's one of My most cherished places of My childhood
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/kroger10.jpg)
So there's My quote and I hope this touched someone that read it
![Wink ;)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Now here's two
Golden MOTU Coloring Books, I was kinda stupid with the one but these are great and check out the
1983 & 1984 Copyrights

![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/golden24.jpg)
Here we go with these official
MOTU Magazines. They were published by
Telepictures Publications in 1985 & 1986... ![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_m13.jpg)
They even had
She-Ra: Princess of Power too and I have the very first premier issue there
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/pop_ma10.jpg)
My Mom subscribed Me to both of them because she knew I was such a huge
MOTU fan. I got them till they cancelled it. Now I was only able to locate four of them which I know I have more in My crazy storage area but I'm grateful I was able to find what I did so here they are all together & they look good, there is nothing like seeing a Vintage
MOTU display
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__11.jpg)
Here is
Telepictures' Logo and the
1985 Mattel Copyright. I love that
Walrus
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__10.jpg)
Now here's the
inside of the
MOTU Magazines. First off here's the
Looney Tunes Drinks that PB recently showed in his
Toy Commercial Topic. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on here including THE very first report of
Dolph Lundgren being cast in the live action
MOTU movie
![Surprised :o](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
Next is a special
Halloween contents
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__12.jpg)
Here's all about the
Halloween stuff in this
issue of Fall, 1986
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__14.jpg)
Now here's
The Muppets & Marvel's Secret Wars and the cool stuff of
She-Ra. Now see, I know they were aiming
POP for the girls but I liked it and really didn't think that way and I still don't, it's all
MOTU to Me
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__13.jpg)
Here's some great
ads including
Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer & Cap'n Crunch
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__15.jpg)
Now here a
MOTU Magazines Subscription Flyer that was in one of the
Issues. Look at how wonderful this is
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_m15.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_m14.jpg)
Now
Telepictures also published the
Go-Bots Magazines as well which My Mom subscribed for Me too. I had greatly showcased this in My huge
Go-Bots & Rock Lords presentation before. Here's
MOTU & POP and Go-Bots Magazines together
![Superman Gasp :smgasp:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/smgasp.gif)
Isn't it weird that this is the second one I've shown thus far with the
Go-Bots and what are the odds of that
![Confused :?](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
It's so rad seeing them like this however
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu__16.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_l12.jpg)
Here's My special
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Poster ![Exclamation :!:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
I cannot recall exactly how I got this however
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/hm-mot10.jpg)
Now here's a very special entry because it's...
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/panini10.jpg)
I remember this like it was last week. I saw this great looking
MOTU Sticker Book down the street at Out local
7-11 from Our old great house. This
7-11 I already greatly showcased and talked about in
My Odds & Ends in one of My most deepest showcases which is My
Glory Days of Movie Rentals because this location had
movies to rent and I found many classics there then that I still love today! So here's My
Panini MOTU Sticker Book with it's awesome
front Cover which it's mostly based on
Filmation's classic animated series and look at that
1983 Copyright as it has it's 40th anniversary this year
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/panini12.jpg)
Now I didn't get all of them but I got enough to be satisfied, I've always loved this, it's layout and really this is one of the best ones which there's nothing been like this since however you can see a similar one in
My Odds & Ends because I showcased a
1990 MLB Baseball Topps Sticker Book last month which also is a very fun
Book
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/panini11.jpg)
Here's My quote about the great
7-11 I got My
Panini MOTU Sticker Book at
BrandonDaCollector wrote:So here is the
7-11 on Juniata & Morgan Ford Road,
Juniata is the street of Our old house that I dearly miss cause it seemed like after We moved so many things changed, I have had mixed emotions and questions about this for decades
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
. I have many good memories from this particular
7-11 and believe it or not it's still there and looks pretty much the same the last time I went there which that long ago
![Shocked :shock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Just not the great ones I have mentioned above but others. My first ever
WWF Magazine came from there, I got another
WWF Magazine which was the
August 1990 edition hyping up
SummerSlam 90. I remember going down the street to My Grandpa's bike shop and showing it to him and telling him about
Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's horrendous accident and him being replaced by
"The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich. While PoPo was sad about
Beefcake, he was glad about
Kerry cause he loved him. It was all such a convenient area with such great times, he would just walk there from the house & back. I remember countless times I'd look down the street for him by the house waiting for him to come home, I miss him so much
![Sad :(](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
One other moment and as bittersweet as it was, it was one of My most fondest memories. On Our last DAY EVER at the Old House, Me & MiMi went to Our nice
7-11, got their great
Nachos, Chili & Cheese. There in Our now empty House it was just the two of Us sitting on the hard wooden floor of the living room/kitchen talking and saying goodbye to Our beloved House on Juniata. That was in
1990, 32 years this year in late August. So here is that very special
7-11
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/7-11_o10.jpg)
So while I am only able to showcase only a handful of actual
Mattel & Panosh action figures already seen within this fine
Topic of Mine, I just recently found a couple
MOTU Blister Cards and you can see how these originally were from when
MOTU was arguably the best line ever and really still is IMO!
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_b10.jpg)
So the two that I found was
Extendar & King Randor. Here's the
front & back of them.
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_b13.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_b14.jpg)
Now
Extendar was actually a
POP character but he was placed within the
MOTU series. I got him at
Ben Frankin's
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_b11.jpg)
Here's a closer look at his
Comic Picture, the
figures in the series to collect and the
1986 Copyright
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_b12.jpg)
Here is
Ben Franklin Price Sticker, look at that
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/ben_fr12.jpg)
OK, as a sweet bonus, here is a special section on the store that I got these from and that is
Ben Franklin's five and dime department stores! Now i have mentioned them throughout this great topic of My as well as other times on the board. They were always one of My favorite ones to go to. Their location was close to My old neighborhood and they were next door to a great
Sears and I loved going to the back parking lot thru their back door and enter their basement area as it was a very large toy area with tones of great action figure and more such as the ones I just showcased, Many
Kenner figures such as My recently seen
Beetlejuice,
Micro Machines  (look for a great special showcase of them in the near future). They also had a section of really cool toy guns,
G.I. Joes but My most cherished moment yet My most regretful one is one I have mentioned before is that they had a very big section of
DC Super Powers (I already posted My lonesome
DCSP Superman a while back within this topic) and it was during a time I wasn't into comic figures yet
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Oh man, the area was the most dedicated, organized and stacked
DC Super Powers ever seen
![Shocked :shock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
They even had them in glass cases! If I had only been awoken about that sort of stuff then but that is one of the things a very young child does when he or she is young then grows up. Their store was tremendous, thing is, I rarely ever went thru the front door nor ever really looked around the front of the store as I always I wanted to go to the back area and head to the toys
![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
My parents took Me there countless times but gosh, I miss that place so much.
Ben Franklin's went out of business in the mid-late 90s. They are gone but not forgotten...at least not by Me
![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
You can see some other great items I got there within the
Topic including
Godzilla & Kong + Marx Soldiers & Dinosaurs
Click here for their great history vis their wiki page!Now as an extremely special feature I wanted to show this area of My childhood. Earlier in the year I posted a very special
VHS in My totally fun
Vintage Wrestling Topic that My great cousin Mike Uncle Buck gave Me and I revealed that he, My Grandma and My Mom when she was a little girl went to a
White Castle all the time. Well here's the
White Castle on Grand that they went to and it's still there as I speak. I've never been there as ever since I've been around We've gotten Our
"Belly Bombers" from the location on
Kingshighway which I just recently showed in
My Odds & Ends ![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Now when you turn right your headed right where
Kroger, K-Mart & Televideo Plaza was, it was such a cool area back then
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/white_12.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/white_13.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/white_15.jpg)
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/white_14.jpg)
Now right down the street was where
Ben Franklin's & Sears was. That huge building you see there was
Sears. I have no clue what it is now. We went there from time to time but I really have no huge memories other than looking at the
PC Video Games when you walked in and seeing the
WWF Wrestlemania Arcade Game and showing & telling My Family that
Razor Ramon is on the
box and that he's
WCW bound and I said it to them just like that which this was a while before he arrived in
WCW starting the
nWo which I knew this because it was reported in My great
Figure-Four Newsletters that I already showcased in My excellent
Vintage Wrestling Collection Topic
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/ben_fr13.jpg)
Here's where
Ben Franklin's was. Sadly the building is still vacant as nothing and I mean nothing has been there since, it's really sad but even more so I think what adds even more depressing elements is that most of the people in this region probably don't know what was there and most of all is having all of those fun times & memories
![Super Shake :smsmh:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/smsmh.gif)
I for one am quite thankful that I had many experiences there and still have some stuff &
Prices Stickers to show a bit of that precious history and even though I said about the
DCSP that I wasn't into them yet, I feel so fortunate to have see them all in glass cases like that
Ben Franklin's had them in

Here's another look at where
Ben Franklin's was and now where's going down the street because...

This is where
National, Arby's & Burger King was that's I've talked about before, like I said, it was such a fun area

So here's
King Randor's Blister Card which I got him at
K-Mart

Here's a close look at his
Comic Art and the
figures to collect in the line plus the
1987 Copyright

Now as I mentioned before,
MOTU has such scary characters, scenery, elements among other things that is perfect for
Halloween. On the
back of the Card, here's a perfect example of what I mean

Now like I said, I got him at
K-Mart and this is the same location that I always talk about, look at that

K-Mart area, now I will show you were many of My Vintage
SW figures & items among other great stuff (My
Rancor & Micro Figures came from Toy Chest) I have showcased within this very topic
![Shocked :shock:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Look at this picture, I have always loved the night time in general but especially when I'd go to
K-Mart because of the lighting I mean look how cool that was with the
Red & Blue all lit up during nocturnal suburban activities, see if there's any store that can even slightly match that
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/k-mart14.jpg)
So here is the area you just saw with
Kroger but this is the front entry way. It used to be so fun to go to back in the day. I mean We had
Kroger & K-Mart till the former went out of business (they made a comeback sometime later in other states) and We'd also have
Televideo & Radio Shack all in the same plaza and I believe the wonderful
AquaWorld & the nice
Resale Shop is still around the corner
![Smile :)](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
I have showcased the great
Televideo in My stupendous
Glory Days of Vdeo Rentals, I explain it all here --->

So this is the region as it looks recently. Since the P!amDemic had to happen, it wiped out
Shop 'n Save(
Schnucks) took them over like they did
National so the building was torn down and replaced with a
Super Aldi's and
GameStop went out of business as well here so even went I got used to this newly redesigned area after the total demolition of
Televideo, Radio Shack & K-Mart among other stores there (
K-Mart was the last to go, I was quite sad about it in
2000 (My chase
ToyBiz WCW B&W Scott Hall & OSTM ECW figures was the very last things is I ever got there
![Super Shake :smsmh:](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/smsmh.gif)
It wouldn't last as long as one would think cause now it really looks different
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/k-mart11.jpg)
So here again is the back entry way. When We lived in Our old house I always loved to go this way so My Grandma would do it. the road was actually a
"brick road" there. Of course now the
brick road is gone, either they plucked'em out or tared over it to match these "modern" times. I really disliked this decision by the heads of the regions I mean that area is quite historical but again they don't care about history and they don't want to you either but if your like Me and you care about your past and you know wonderful it was in your old area and you loved it like I did then YOU CARE ABOUT THE HISTORY and WILL NOT LISTEN TO THIS NOR ACCEPT THIS BUM-STEER
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/k-mart13.jpg)
So again the back way was so fun to enter
K-Mart, I loved this store as much as I did
Venture, in fact I have just as much fond memories there as well. It was so amazing when My Grandma got Me the
Dewback among other
SW figures as well as My
REMCO Defenders & My very first
WWF Hasbro Figure which was none other than the Series 1
Hulk Hogan here. My Mom got Me My
GUTS! I showcased a while back and My Dad Buddy got Me a ton of
Battle Beasts (I regret not taking them with Me). Even though it was quite bitter sweet with him, I sure remember going there with him and him getting Me all those little guys
![Sad :(](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
So this
K-Mart was sure one of THE ones to be at. They had tons of toys, movies, games and everything you could want. It was such a great time being a youngster in My area cause you had the wonders like
Paramount Drugs, the super fun ones on Cherokee like
Judy's, Woolworths & the Bazaar, greats like
Ben Franklin's, GrandPa Pidgeons & K-B & K&K and then you had great big ones like
Target and ultra cool
Venture (all three locations) and then you had the outstandingly exciting
K-Mart, I am so glad that I was a youngster during this time and that I was a part of all of this

Now as finale to this wonderful showcase, I recently found some
MOTU Comics that was included with some of the figures. I was so excited about this when I found them down the basement
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_l11.jpg)
Here's a great look at the original
MOTU Comics and I was really euphoric when I found the radical
Slave City edition with
Lodar ![Surprised :o](http://dctoyrevolution.org/images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
I wanted that figure so bad in the
MOTUC but
Mattel acted like they never could do it then
Super7 did and then I got him and he was My first ever
Super7 action figure
![Image](https://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_c16.jpg)
I have always loved the artwork of the
figures, their still some of the best ever IMO plus look at that
1983 Copyright

MOTU history that I am so grateful to have

So that will conclude this very special
MOTU showcase and I hope you liked it and were surprised and maybe even touched
