THE BEST MOTU WEBSITES
There are several MOTU websites on the Internet. The list below shows a fairly broad range of sites. Not all these sites are updated frequently; in fact there are one or two that never get updated! However those I have selected are all worth a visit.
A brief guide to the content may be found alongside the link. You should be able to find out pretty much everything there is to know about the MOTU from these sites.
Lastly a request to webmasters - if your site is featured below and you don't currently have a link to Vaults, I'd appreciate being added to your links page. The address is http://www.vaultsofgrayskull.co.uk/. Similarly, if you have a MOTU website which deserves mention here, contact me and let me know.
| He-Man Tales | Not only the best source of minicomic-inspired fan fiction on the web, but also home to an entire MOTU mythology created by Mirck Dyer. This is the site formerly known as Eternia Minor. |
| Tales Of Mineternia | T F Cooper is one of the leading MOTU fan fiction writers, and this is his excellent website. Visit Tales Of Mineternia to find one of the best story collections on the net. |
| MOTU Rebirth | Artist and writer Gary Wolfchild's website. See his artwork and read his Grayskull novel here. |
| Moetook Musings | A great new blog from MOTU fan TheFallen. The writing is really entertaining and the photographs of the figures are excellent. Highly recommended. |
| Scrolls of Eternia | This site has been compiled by Masters fan Jukka Issakainen. He has produced some great videos about MOTU characters, and the site is definitely worth a look. |
| He-FansBlog.com | Luke and Aaron Eischen's site. This is a really colourful, detailed and fun site by the father and son team. They have an amazing MOTU collection which has been photographed for the site. They are big Vaults fans too! |
| Action Figure Pictures | The Masters of the Universe Classics page of a popular toy collector fan website with lots of articles and pictures. |
| Poe Ghostal's Points of Articulation | Figure reviews and forums about numerous toy lines including the Masters. The webmaster also has fan fiction published on He-Man Tales. |
| Busta Toon's Blogspot | The blog of He-Man and She-Ra fan James Eatock. His book, The Unofficial Cartoon Guide to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, is also available from the site. |
| Hordak Alpha's Slime Pit | Read Hordak Alpha's MOTU tales on this site. Another writer with lots of imagination, and a particularly colourful webpage! |
| Grayskull Museum | An important fan resource with lots of photographs of the original and subsequent MOTU toy lines in their original packaging. Written in French and translated into English. |
| Good Old Days | This site is no longer updated, although the content remains intact. This is the most complete and entertaining review of the minicomics which accompanied the original toys. All titles from all the series are here, with story summaries and observations. |
| Planet Eternia | A well-presented German language site with lots of images and information about the MOTU figures. |
| He-Man.de | A German language site with information about the various Masters lines, current news about the MOTUC and forums. |
| Grayskull Quest | A MOTU fan fiction blog written in Portuguese with some creative artwork accompanying the text. |
| Masters Cast | A podcast site with MOTU videos - to my knowledge this is the only MOTU podcast site. |
| Duke Nostalgia | The MOTU section has some amusing essays on various topics. Lots of imagination has gone into subjects such as the DNA structure of the Rock People. |
| Super Toy Archive | A good place to look if you want information on prototypes, special offer packages and limited edition toys. |
| He-Man.US | He-Bro's informative site with information on many aspects of the MOTU and home of the Lounge Grayskull forums. |
| Wikipedia | The Masters of the Universe page of the world's free on-line encyclopaedia. Wikipedia members may update pages to keep the information current and informative. |
| FanFiction.Net | The MOTU page of the largest fan fiction website. The stories here are predominantly cartoon-inspired MOTU stories rather than original canon. The quality of the works varies enormously. |
| He-Man.org | The news bulletin site for information about new figures. Some information about the original figures, although certain sections have been left 'under construction' for several years. |
| MOTU Unbound | Linked to He-Man.org, this Italian website has some parts written in English, and is worth a visit as there is lots of interest. |
| Four Horsemen Studios | The website of the artists who designed the ill-fated 2002 MOTU line and the much better 2008 limited edition Classics (MOTUC). |
| Matty Collector | The site where the 2008 limited edition figures are sold. Good images of the figures but a disappointingly inefficient shopping system that prevents fans from logging in and making purchases. |
| The Fwoosh | An action figure website with articles, forums and images dedicated to the Masters. |
| CastleGrayskull.org | A popular site with lots of information on the cartoon series. |
| Stratos' MOTU Page | Lots of information about the cartoons can be found here. |
| Blade's He-Man and She-Ra Webpage | Detailed site with lots of information on the characters of the MOTU universe. |
| He-Man Page | Fans of the original cartoon will find this site of interest as it has a lot of behind the scenes information on how the series was put together. |
| The Cafe Wha? | A collector's site with lots of rare finds. I remembered this site from a few years back. Although it is no longer updated, there are some really interesting test shot images of rare prototypes and a link to the owner's Ebay store. |
| Retrojunk | An interesting article about the original MOTU toys and lines which came before and after. Lots of photographs too. |
