No Jokes today but seriously....

 Hello everyone,                                                                                                                                           Usually today on April first in the past I have treated you all to some  of a great pun to ponder over since it is after all the day of pulling a grand joke of unsuspecting bit of creativity fun for all that we all come in contact with. Yet for the moment I will admit that I can't think of a joke right now to get you to using your brain for the day,  so what is it that I want to talk about subject matter topic wise today... Well interesting enough what I will be sharing with you is of course from the one toy line that I had the most interest in when I was in my younger years and mostly played with. Which is Masters of the Universe, that drove into the heart of strengths of fantasy.                                                                                                                   In most of my past posts on here I have talked about how much that I have enjoyed growing up over my fifty years of living existence, yet no matter how many days since March twenty fourth, of twenty twenty two I really still find myself feeling unchanged of who I am as a person because deep down inside of myself I know that I can change if I want to. The one thing any one can't do on their own is change your traits that you get from either of our parents, by this I mean how you can change your outside if your wanting to but with how ever you change your main look your can't change your heart if you fill it with drugs or greasy foods all of the time....like I have had to find out once a particular part of you is broken on the inside you can learn to deal with it by changing the way you think and be smart at whatever you are ingesting into your own body and eat healthier. Or if you just want to ingonre your existence eat or consume everything you want, you'll undoubtedly understand when living your life is HARDER by your own choices of the current moment you are it, just had to put out the message because I am not saying that it's ALWAYS ALBOUSTULELY EASY for MYSELF EITHER!                                     Now back to twist of this conversation of my favorite toylines from when I was a tykesiter around the age of ten, there was stuff like Kenner's Star Wars action figures and Battlestar Gattiactta toys, even the Lone Ranger action figures but it was when in the early part of nineteen eighty two when I saw the one toy commercial that had hooked for life. The commercial had the toyline's main reason of what the two main sides that of evil lead by the blue skined purple hooded lord of destruction was trying to conquer as his ultimate prize, from the leader of goodness known as the strongest man in the whole universe,  who were respectful Skeletor of the leader of the evil warriors and the heroism of HE-MAN who leads the forementioned side of hope on a world known as Eterina... with the also mentioned ultimate prize being an castle with a molded stone skull for a face and known as Grayskull                                                                               

                                            Here's the original image that was on the Castle Grayskull playset box art.... while we here in north America, we got to enjoy such an array of many figures along with other toy playsets over the line's original run from nineteen eighty one, but I had gotten into in the second year of eighty two and went all the way to nineteen eighty seven,over on the other side of the world in Germany while the line popular they had created the first ever original figure. Over the past year since last August I have been finding out about this very interesting figure since November of last year fully through images on the Deviant Art website and the YouTube website.                                                          So just let's be clear this given figure wasn't ever available here at all this side of the world ever in the early nineteen eighties,  true fans even deeper enriched in knowing about the whole world wide history of the  Masters of the universe toylines knew this one's history. When Mattel had hired the toy makers that had worked with Todd McFarlane on his Spawn toylines in the mid nineteen nineties did Mattel toys itself learned of this mystery figure from the other side of the the world and also because of one the four toolers of the new Masters of the universe action figures had lived in Germany while he was a child,  the four toy makers called themselves the four horsemen and were calling their company Super 7! Here happens to be the first photo of that mystery figure from the Germany wave that I had found on Deviant Art website                    
I had downloaded this waaaay back on August twenty second in twenty twenty one and just found and thought hey that's freaking awesome a totally new and unknowable version of HE-MAN! From that point onward I myself went looking about it for myself to know about this particular Black and gray colored take on the character over time. It turns out his name is Anti HE-MAN and He is from Anti Eterina. This to me as a Masters of the universe fan brings up at least a few big questions or for certain at least two that I know that I have spent the last few years pondering and here they are: one, Is it possible that the reason that Anti HE-MAN was created over in Germany was it because they were never aware of the character seen here                           
called Faker the evil robotic version of HE-MAN created by Skeletor in the toyline's marketing, or was it also possible that the animation company of Filmation HE-MAN and the Masters of the universe series never got to air the episode titled "The Shaping Staff" where we see this villain's  only appearance when Skeletor uses his magic to create him                                            

   to fool/trick the sorceress that HE-MAN has come to castle Greyskull at night for some unknowable reason? ( I will explain why Faker and the hero look exactly alike when I make my own review of this actual episode.) Then  here's  my second question as to how it maybe possible for Anti HE-MAN to exist, did certain fans from Germany realize that maybe they were able to add something even more fascinating to an already very successful toy line's original history by giving it a refreshing reflection of itself?, still lost are you with where I am taking this other than much like other series that always have a goal of goodness beating out darkness why not have it be that the Masters of the universe has a broken or twisted take where even the heroes are very menacing at times like Star Trek of the original series did with their second season episode titled "Mirror, Mirror" which spun it own self outwardly decades later in whole other spin off series... yes that is something that can honestly make Masters of the universe even more precisely interesting of them having a parallel universe... where all of the characters are evil or twisted in a whole multitude of differences from the prime universe? And everything is justified Blackness on each character's traits not just their molecular outward environment making them that way! So what I will say is that I believe that the toys and creative minds in Germany back in the early nineteen eighties fleshed out a debatable mirror universe for the American toy company known as Mattel for their biggest boys  wave of action figures.... 
The main reason of why I decided to make an odd beginning to ending the one day of the one full of thinking of puns is besides after all my ongoing research,  I have found out that Mattel is trying to keeping the Masters of the universe property in their ownership before the end of this very year. They have currently three different lines of Masters of the universe toylines and two very different animated series being airred on Netflix currently to trying new things of keeping up with a new way to growing their ownership of the whole property and if their invoices don't show a strong improvement by November (I  thinking?, I am going to keeping up on my researching). The ownership of the property after that point will go to Universal studios productions my inner wanting to knowledge is will there still be a viable future generations of seeing toylines? 
Let me capitalize on this highly trying to get more of the whole Masters of the universe growing outwardly by sharing what I have had on my tablet that I put the majority of these posts from over the month known April twenty, twenty two. When I have been opening my home screen this is what I saw on   

the locked screen, through out the Greenest month of the whole year called March. Boy that looks so powerful doesn't it, classic Teela of the original toyline with an Origins one those three toylines that I mentioned earlier of the hero HE-MAN himself getting ready to do battle with any evil out in any parts of Enetria or better yet any part of the whole vast universe.  After opening my cool locked screen I was able 

to see an even different take of future royalty of Enetria... with a totally never owned by myself as of yet a blonde haired version of Teela sharing (a rare wine my thinking there), who knows maybe I might go in search of one sometime very soon on Ebay. Also off to the far right is Battle Cat without any armor on him to protect his two greatest friends.   Finally as to what did I have on my phone every time  that I turned it on was hopefully getting me wanting to think about my upcoming vacation time! Well here it is 



                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                           
     from  last May when I was with my folks     on  a  road trip to the Olympic peninsula of Washington and the Oregon coast. We were only here for two quick days in the Olympic national park in Lake Quinault and here I'm by the world's largest Spruce tree and all I can admit is that I felt truly small when I looked up at it. On my phone the whole sign is completely not in the frame at all, but I really had a fun time on that very venturous outing. Before I really forget because of course I know that it is possible to do that after getting to a certain age if you let life get to crazy and anyone every where knows life's been rather overwhelming over the past couple of years,  don't worry I will be getting around to talking about it sooner than later, but what I almost did a mind wipe of this site's background plate which is seen here                            
           
A image that has a tonage of green in it of the Filmation HE-MAN on his great cat with a visual of Skeletor behind them both, I believe that it is a animated cel because when I have looked at it through out my many posts and those still to come it
 jumped out  me. Tell me what your own thoughts are 
?
