Description With my 30th Birthday fast approaching (damn... im really old) i decided to do something from my childhood... Heman! Masters of the Universe was my fave show growing up! Could've given him an updated look but decided to capture the original version.

This is a piece im pretty proud of. No references were used and i think i still drew Heman quite well considering the last time i drew him was probably more than 15 years ago! Not too happy with the hands though. It was supposed to be the classic "fists on waist" pose but i miscalculated the distance during my sketch.sigh

This piece is also for , and every other fan of the epic series that changed the face of cartoons and action figures forever!

Cool! I like his 'justice' expression and the way his strong legs bear the weight of his muscular body. I know Heman, but I honestly don't remember really well his adventures; I'm more from Ghostbusters, Johnny Quest, and TMNT times - hope I'm not making you feel old

Haha... Dont worry, ive watched all the other shows you mentioned as well. But i hope you're referring to the original versions and not the Cartoon Network remakes though as all of them have been remade.

Heman was the first popular action/adventure cartoons from the Western world as most of the other shows at the time were Japanese toons like Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Macross, etc...

Yes, I meant the originals
I know, anyways Heman is a popular culture icon, so I guess everyone has heard about him

Damn! i even forgot what a Horde Trooper looked like! My fave Horde toy was Modulok and Mantenna.

Thanks! I miss drawing the guy! He was the only thing i was drawing day and night as a kid! Happy to hear that there will be a movie again on 2009. Hope they dont mess it up though.

Evil-lyn had the most awesome EYES ever, though! It's corny cheesy camp, so I have to go back and watch it sometimes.

Aaaaah! I think you would do a lovely job!

It sure was cheesy as hell! But i loved it back as a kid.

You give me too much credit! Thanks though for believing in my talents. I think i might draw her but got tons of contest pieces (need cash... huhuhu) and gift arts for friends (got one for you too. )

It's all good! I understand! I need to get my homework in order so I can work on a couple of pieces I want to do myself.

And THANKS!! I'm so excited!

Yeah, we always get entwined in stuff we have to do that we almost never have enough time to do things we wanna do for ourselves. But there's always time for everything although it wouldnt always be the time we want things done.

At least you got money back for em... my collection? stolen by our housekeeper. two boxes full of em along with classic matchbox cars, GIJoe's and even rare 1st ed starwars figures. She took all my childhood memories with her. The B!tch!

Well, there are juz people who think of noone else but their own. She probably stole em to give em to her grandkids but still, the end never justify the means.

Yep! Especially when it comes to action figures. Sigh... the only action figures i have left with me is of my adulthood. LOL. All Marvel Legends... started buying when series 3 or 4 started. I hope these wont get stolen as well as i wanna show em to my Grandkids someday...

project4studios In reply to semaj007 [2008-06-12 00:09:46 +0000 UTC]

I started buying those at Series 2 and probably stoped right after the Galactus set! Too much money spent on comics AND figures! I had to choose only one!

semaj007 In reply to project4studios [2008-06-12 01:36:14 +0000 UTC]

Same prob i had but my decision was between Magic The Gathering and Marvel Legends. Went with Marvel Legends but Hasbro's take on em sucks big time! im thinking on quitting myself and juz buy 1-3 figures per expansion. Its not worth it anymore.

Series 2? Damn... you got some great figures then! Although i started series 3, the only sets ive completed starting from Galactus series.

Yeah, I hate the Hasbro versions too! I don't think I bought even one of those!

Dont bro... you'll only end up wasting precious $$$ for the shitty job they do. For 8 figures/set, only 1-2 is worth it and even then, those two have terrible paintjobs! Hope you got the LCBH though coz the articulation, the paint and the sculpting is juz perfect! The BAF for series one is PITT (one huge mofo!!!) and Series 2 Monkeyman (hmmm.... juz ok). Too bad they're gonna stop at Series 2 which i dont have any idea why
