5 Surprising Facts About 2002 He-Man Intro

Latest video takes a look at 5 surprising facts about the 2002 He-Man intro!

2003 NBA All Star Commercial

In 2003, Cartoon Network aired short clips titled NBA All-Star Slam, that paired NBA players chatting with cartoon characters.

For many, the cartoon characters appear to be their childhood favorites, such as Bugs Bunny, Flintstones, etc.

Elton Brand & Space Ghost

Shaquille O'Neal & Godzilla

And among these, was also something for Masters of the Universe fans, when Michael Redd (Milwaukee Bucks) had a spot with He-Man himself.

Though it wasn't the original Filmation Studios' He-Man that joined Mr. Redd, but instead then-current MYP series with Cam Clarke voicing He-Man.

The clip was aired before next episode of He-Man would air, which was "Dragon's Brood".

Sadly I haven't seen the commercial in full, only heard an audio-clip of it thanks to Jon "TheShadow" Kallis from he-man.org during 2003. 

Personally I can remember and other fans like Joe Amato parts from what was being said, namely He-Man's hilarious comments.

[paraphrasing from memory] 

Michael Redd: "So He-Man, can I borrow your Sword?" 

He-Man: "No, I'm afraid not... THE POWER IS MINE! ...Not yours. Sorry."
-----
He-Man: "That Skeletor is a big jerk. You hear that Skeletor? I'm WATCHING YOU!!!"

If anyone remembers more of this or has a clip, please send me an e-mail or comment about it!

Hopefully either the audio-clip or full video of this short can be dug up. As I'd like to see it and share with everyone!

Captain Miro's Sword

Captain Miro appeared in a flashback during episode 12 "Mekaneck's Lament" on season 1.

Sadly he doesn't get much screen-time and is only shown on couple shots mostly from waist-up.

We see he has a Sword on his belt-holster, but he doesn't get to use it... or for the matter; show it in full view.

But here you can take a look at how Captain Miro's Sword looks like. A cool design and I for one would have loved seeing it get some use in the episode.

If we ever get Miro as a toy figure in the Masters of the Universe Classics line, it would be fantastic to see the Sword come as an accessory.
