Title: More ridiculous things on "ebay.com"
Post by: dania on April 16, 2009, 11:30:59 PM
I found this when I searched for "boxmasters of the universe" http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRADE-BOX-MASTERS-OF-THE-UNIVERSE-FILM-PANINI-STICKERS_W0QQitemZ370184803020QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090408?IMSfp=TL0904081110002r26976 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRADE-BOX-MASTERS-OF-THE-UNIVERSE-FILM-PANINI-STICKERS_W0QQitemZ370184803020QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090408?IMSfp=TL0904081110002r26976)

Panini stickers were a big deal for schoolkids in the UK. I remember collecting football stickers for many a season.
Also, Masters of the Universe: first movie I ever saw in cinemas. I got scared when Skeletor first appeared, having been used to his cartoon form, and cried so much that my dad had to carry me into the lobby for a bit.
Fact.

Samir, how old were you when that came out?  I think I was about 7 or 8, that would've made you, what?  4? 

I enjoy the coincidence of Langela playing Skeletor AND Nixon.

This reminds me that I had an autographed photograph from the guy that played He-Man in the Masters of the Universe 'Power Tour.' (http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0760/).

My parents are very lucky that I didn't know about that when I was a kid.

I vaguely remember commercials for this. Woulda loved to see the casting call for it. "He-Man needed for Power Tour. Must have rock hard pecs and know how to rollerskate."
