Hello all!
I am 37 and new to the He-Man fandom. I was born in '85 so I was just behind the He-Man Filmation show. I knew who He-Man was but he wasn't a part of my world growing up. I grew up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman the Animated Series. By the time the He-Man 200X show came out I was in high school so I missed that too (been watching it now though and I have been really enjoying it).
So my fandom came about about a month ago. I was at home, bored, and looking for something new to watch. I was scrolling through my Netflix queue and came across Masters of the Universe: Revelation. I had never watched a He-Man show or movie and I'm not sure what about it caught my attention, but it did. I watched the first episode without knowing any of the previous story or lore but through the incredible writing I was immediately drawn to the characters and the story. And let me tell you, I fell HARD. The eternal battle of good vs. evil, might, magic, technology, all wonderfully woven in an epic fantasy.
Since then I have been consuming as much He-Man media as I can. I have watched the He-Man movie on Prime and it was, uh, a movie, I've been watching 200X on Prime, I've been watching the Filmation show on Youtube, I watched all of the CGI show on Netflix, and I've watched Revelation all the way through twice and can't wait to watch it again soon. I even bought Revelation on Prime just in case I ever cancelled Netflix, and to help support the show.
Along with the media I have rapidly been collecting Revelation and New Eternia figures. Right now the plan is to get all the Revelation figures and just get the New Eternia figures that I like.
I found this site while looking for a figure checklist (and it has been incredibly helpful). Then I discovered the For Eternia Youtube channel. I have watched all the figure unboxing/review videos, some more than once. As I am typing this I just started the second episode of the podcast video. Love this site and the Youtube channel and just wanted to introduce myself!
Welcome to the community bro! Your story is awesome. It's good to see Revelation is making new fans!

I've just joined this forum but have been a fan since I was a kid. I rediscovered things when I introduced my son to all of this a few years ago.
Glad you found it! It's great.

Welcome!
What a great share! And thanks so much for the kind words about the site and channel. Deeply appreciate it! 🙂
I really loved reading that Masters of the Universe: Revelation was your gateway into the fandom. Any time we get a new fan, a new family member, a new addition to this amazing fan community... it makes me hopeful that this brand will live on well past this decade and beyond.
Since you loved Revelation, have you checked out the comics? If not, to start, I definitely recommend checking out the four issue Revelation prequel series put out by Dark Horse Comics. It is (in my opinion) really well written, and unlike many prequel comics, actually adds substantial context to that series. Check them out if you can! 🙂
We have the Power! 
Yes, I actually just ordered the prequel comic yesterday and it should be delivered tomorrow. I was listening to one of the early episodes of the podcast and you and He-Dad were talking about the prequel comic and some of the content it covers and context it adds to Revelation. Thanks for the advice, and for all you guys do here on the site and Youtube! It's all been great!
😀 Always great to see new fans!! Welcome aboard MWC! Also the new eternia designs are all very well done , before you know it you’ll find yourself buying all of them
@brasco Thanks! I am definitely loving the Masterverse line. With New Eternia though, for right now, I am only getting the New Eternia figures that don't have a figure in the Revelation line. So, for example, since I have the Revelation Man-at-Arms I'm not getting the New Eternia MaA..
That is awesome how you git hooked that quick into MOTU. So far who are some of your favorite characters?
I’m loving how Revelation is still bringing in new fans. Welcome to the community, fandom, and a whole new adventure!
