Masters of the Universe Figures and Playsets

Most Valuable Masters of the Universe Figures, Playsets and Toys

"I have the power!"

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was an animated TV show based on Mattel toys, which ran from 1983 to 1985.

It was hugely popular with kids of the era, and spawned a spin-off show She-Ra: Princess of Power.

For many collectors, sentiment about the shows we grew up with lead to us hunting down memorabilia from that era.

While some movies and TV shows (most notably the original Star Wars trilogy) enjoy success and then licence their characters to companies, this reversal by Mattel meant that the show effectively was an advertisement for the toys.

If you have a collection of old He-Man and She-Ra action figures, toys and playsets, or even MOTU comics, then this guide will help you to find the value of them.

Most Valuable Masters of the Universe Figures and Toys

How to Value Action Figures
Here's how action figure collectors value their collectibles. This will help you to "figure out" what you've got in your hand!

1. Mint on Card (MOC) or Mint in Box (MIB) -- as sold in stores. The value can be affected by the condition of the card backing and the clear plastic bubble. Also, price stickers attached to the cardboard can bring down prices.
2. Complete with original packaging -- complete but opened and presumed used.
3. Complete without packaging -- figure is complete with all accessories, but no card/box.
4. Incomplete -- figure is whole but missing accessories, including costume, weapons, mount etc. The more items which are missing, the more this affects the value.
5. Damaged and incomplete -- the figure has a significant fault such as a broken or missing limb, lots of wear on the paint etc.

The quintessential playset for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe fans back in the day. Seldom found complete with all the accessories, as it was very easy to lose some parts.
