My mom sold my collection at a yard sale when I was a teenager. I had the original Grayskull, Fright Zone, Snake Mountain, and over 80 figures. It makes me cry every time I think about it. No doubt in my mind, I would still be playing with it today as a 32 year old man.

I would like them to design a Castle Greyskull that could be ever expanded with a modular lock system. Allowing for more room scenes to be added in. Such has hallways, or going inside the dungeon, a medical bay perhaps....etc

@rocketcon 6 жыл бұрын

Great idea, although something like that did happen already. Both Point Dread and the Eternia plaset were intended to link up to Castle Grayskull. The 2002 version also had an expansion set that added a back wall to the castle.

You can tell how much love there is for these toys when he opens the jawbridge using He-man holding his sword, rather than the guy just poking the sword in like a key. If He-man himself doesn't do it, it doesn't count!

@alwaysemployed656 2 жыл бұрын

What made the vintage toys so cool was the packaging artwork. You would get lost for hours and days just looking at the artwork. So much going on. A lot of details. A lot of use of different colors. A lot of times I would hold the package more than the actual toy.

I remember my father made me one in cardboard alike and he drew the skull and detailed the teeth of greyskull, and it had two sides as well as a front and with snake windows. It was not a real play-set, but it could be used in any way you wanted and store several figures inside. Back in the 80'ties the Greyskull castle cost a lot, so we had to build on our own. My father made me a play-set with the snake mountain as well, with a door that opened with a string. Very simple :-) This is one great play-set and maybe now a days i'll consider buying one, maybe :-)

"The overall girth and size of it is amazing. I know there were a lot of questions in the beginning on how big this thing was going to be. It's going one those things you just aren't going understand how massive it is until you have it in person. It's going to be one of those things where you aren't going to know where to put it when you get it." That's exactly how I wish girls talked about my penis.

I never had the castle Grey Skull and I wanted most of what they had with He Man & She Ra, this was so big back in the 80s I miss those times and now all those are worth a lot of money I am sure. We had best cartoons when I was a kid even the best toys and I think every 80s kid had fun with that whole collection. I miss those days when music, movies, and TV were fun to watch.

I must say that cover painting reminded me of when I got the original model all those years ago. The gargoyle on window is also from the original playset, where I seem to remember it's function was to be an anchor which held the elevator. It's mentioned very quickly in the review, tho to me it was huge back then - the computers and the suit were in the original playset, as flat paperboard models. The banners on the side of the throne was unhandy sticker(s) back then, I don't remember if there were 1 or 2. PDan, this was great fun to view. Good stuff.

So one fact about the dungeon. I’m not saying it was designed to be small but, if you ever been to a real European castle dungeon, they actually are very small. It was meant for the prisoner to be uncomfortable, so you would have to be bent somewhat to fit in one.

What the owner of this needs is a looped audio file of the various sound schematics and audio landscapes of the original cartoon music in the display room. If they are really rich, they should have a midi sequencer trigger various themes via remote and ‘played’ on the original synth devices used to create the cartoon.
