This update is a complete re-design of our classic Masters of the Universe section from 1982-1988, with all new photos and information, along with the most updated values on the secondary market. Also new to this section is “The New Adventures of He-Man” toy line from 1989 to 1992, which was inspired by the sci-fi themed reboot of that period.
We are excited to bring your our latest update for Mattel’s Masters of the Universe action figure line! Since the values of certain items fluctuate over time, The Toy Collectors Guide prides itself in keeping up with the most current market trends and any shifts that may affect secondary market values. There are many factors that drive those trends and shifts which include, an item’s time period, scarcity, consumer demand and overall condition. The Masters of the Universe toy market has remained steady over the years due to that ever present 70’s and 80’s nostalgic desire for the kids who grew up in that era (myself included) to re-acquire the toys they loved from their youth. and it doesn’t much bigger than He-Man and his Masters of the Universe world!
The Masters of the Universe franchise has been revived a few times over the years, most recently with the Kevin Smith produced series on Netflix, which has lasted for three seasons now. Meanwhile, the toy line has seen several modern incarnations. From Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics line to Super7’s 5.5″ and 7″ figure lines, the demand for He-Man and Masters of the Universe figures has remained consistently strong.
This resurgence is great news for collectors who still own the original 1980s toys, as many fans are now eager to reclaim pieces from their childhood. Most original Masters of the Universe figures have shown steady growth in value, especially the harder-to-find characters from the first and later waves. Packaged items are becoming increasingly scarce due to age, which continues to drive prices upward. Even loose figures, vehicles, and accessories are seeing strong demand, as they make impressive display pieces for collectors. Overall, Mattel’s Masters of the Universe line continues to show fantastic growth—and that trend looks set to continue.
We hope you enjoy checking out our newly updated Masters of the Universe section!
