So here we go with one of My most favorite if not most cherished franchises of all and that is
Masters of the Universe ![Bat Grin :batgrin:](./images/smilies/batgrin.gif)
It was number one for Me for decades, even unto the 200X days but when
Mattel truly revealed their true colors to the pubic and especially to Me when they released the
MOTUC along with other classic lines lines
Ghostbusters, ThunderCats, DCC and especially how they treated Me & My Family with teh
WWF/WWE series it really let a sour taste
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
Of course it pains Me how they have treated the
MOTU property as a whole is beyond pathetic with no major motion picture (they could have easily made it like the
LOTR and made as much money as
Marvel IMO) and you woudl think money hungry greedy corparte locousts are you'd think they would have done as much as they could oh and don't get Me gonin' how woke & deceitful the Netflix show is has really degraded the property to a level that is so embarrassing is so beyond deplorable
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
Back in the day I was probably one of the biggest
MOTU fans you could ever meet. I know people like My late father hated
MOTU when it was in the early times when it was arguably at its best for whatever reason when I was a youngster but I have never let that stop My love for
MOTU and I'm sure not gonna let
Mattel's foolishness & avarice stop Me from loving the old times either

So when I was a wee youngster, in around the times of the original cartoon show and the first action figures by
Mattle in 1983/1984 there was some other merchandise out there, one particularly was by
Panosh Place, a great American company that has unfortunately fallen into limbo and isn't spoken about often by many. I really liked their logo and their slogan, "
Where the Star Hang Out" ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
They made many kinds of toys including awesome
Voltron figures. I had many of these but for a very long time I have been looking for them and I misplaced them really good
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
So, they also had the
MOTU licence as well. Instead of making action figures however they made the short lived
Eraser Figure Concept ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
Yes, actual erasers. Remember when I showcased My
2 rad Skeleton Erasers back in February and I said that
Pansoh Place made
MOTU Easers and I would show them time
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Well here we are...it's time now
My Grandma MiMi got Me these guys from somewhere great, I really don't recall as I was really young, probable either
Woolworths or Venture. I had more of these guys but I know I have misplaced them because I destroyed via chewing on them
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Yeah, I still chewed on stuff then, I was only about 3 or 4 years old but My Grandma MiMi broke Me out of that childish habit and made Me realize what I was doing so apparently I put 2 + 2 together and wised up. One thing I know for a fact was
He-Man himself, I've never forgotten how I just ruined him
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
So, I was so aware of it I tried to take care of these guys as best as I could. Like I said about
My Skulls & Showbiz Pizza Place Erasers in My great previous showcases, I never ever, never used them as actual Erasers...anybody that would must not care of the meaning & collectible stature of the fantastic pieces.
So here is
Orko, Man-At-Arms/Duncan, Skeletor & Mer-Man. the likenesses are great and the sculpting is very decent. There isn't much paint but that's understandable due to the material they are made out of which is usually rubber gum, vinyl latex. I just love
Skeletor's blue skin tone here and his yellow bone-face is really cool.
The Copyrights are nicely sculpted/printed here and they say
1984, so darn good
Size Comparison: Here is
Pansoh Place's Skeletor compared to My go-to guy
Mattel's MOTU Prince Adam

So as a special ADDITIONAL BONUS, here is a unique little
MOTU Sticker Album by
Henry Gordy International. Here is the front cover with classic
MOTU artwork and the
Copyright
Now I don't really have an idea where My Grandma MiMi got this for Me but I'm thinking she got it for Me over at
National or Venture which I have greatly showcased both within the topic. I am leaning toward the former. Now this book is EXACTLY as it was long ago when I put the stickers on there kinda half-@$$ed as a youngster would...I never did anything since and I have taken good care of it as well
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
The front cover is identical as the back cover and has has the
Copyright 1984 on it plus the
Gordy info as well. I always loved how this book felt, it's so smooth and the stickers are puffy and they are still quite tight on there. Even though they said that you can peel them off, there is no getting them off anytime soon, their still stuck on there that much

Here is a special
size comparison of My
Gordy MOTU Sticker Album compared to
Panosh Place's Skeletor, look at all that beautiful cool blue, I loved it then and I love it still
SPECIAL SIZE COMPARISONHere is My
Panosh Place Mer-Man size compared with My
Gordy MOTU Sticker Album, My previously seen
MOTU Glass that I cherish very much and My go-to guy
Mattel's MOTU Prince Adam
SUPER SPECIAL BONUS!So since I am unable to show My
MOTU collection due to carelessness activity on My part long ago
![Bat Rage :batrage:](./images/smilies/batrage.gif)
I have this great poster I believe I got with some vehicle or possibly
Castle Grayskull or perhaps
Snake Mountain. Its a very large fold-out poster of many of the items after the first major continuation after the success of the series. Its kinda small in folded manner however, only the size of a
Masters figure itself. Notice the
Copyright is 1985
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_p10.jpg)
So here it is folded out. It quite big, huge to be more precise. It's about 2 feet wide & in height. It has a ton of figures, playsets, vehicles and more.
The Evil Horde was making their presence known here. Look at all of that wonderful stuff. This was such a thing to love and was some of the best things that a kid could get into and one of the absolute crucial reasons why it was so good to be a kid in the 80s
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
One thing I have always loved about
MOTU is their color schemes. I had greatly expressed this way back in the day on the
Matty Board on many occasions. Here it is in all of it's
MOTU Vintage Glory
![Image](https://i.servimg.com/u/f64/18/38/96/79/motu_p11.jpg)
So there was My special
MOTU Panosh Place, Gordy & Mattel showcase and I hope this brought back memories for you or even surprised you a bit
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
If your just now seeing this then stop now and go to the beginning, you don't wanna miss how this great
MOTU presentation started. I will have at least one more
MOTU showcase to present but that will be later time because next with be a very big, in multiple parts which is very anticipated showcase by Me that I have been waiting to unveil for a very long time and that is My collection of
Tonka's Go-Bots & Rock Lords plus many bonuses
![Superman Gasp :smgasp:](./images/smilies/smgasp.gif)
until then I'll see you around
