The League: Running into a fire!

This week the League calls again, and as always I feel obligated to answer.  Last week we all talked about the item you would like to gain for your collection.  The Holy Grail you have been searching for!  This week we are asked to think about the piece that means the most to you!  I

What is the one item in your collection you would save if your house was being swallowed by a sink hole, carried off in a tornado, and then swept away in a flood.

  I know the answer to this one.  I have answered it recently!

The piece that I would "run into a fire for" would be MY he-man.  this isn't any he-man it is the one I had as a kid.  The toy that probably started it all!  I am lucky enough to still have that toy.  He sits aloft MY battle cat on my desk, next to my Battle Armor Skeletor and Panthor.  All of these are very important but if I had to pick it would be He-man.

My he-man is dirty, with loose legs.  I have several that are in better condition, but I do not have a history with those, and that is important to me.

Below is a pic of me on the day I got the above pictured He-man.  I was a happy little guy!
One of the few pics I have of me and my toys



I mentioned this figure in the prototype episode of collecting nostalgia when this very question was asked!  check it out!

  4. It's great to buy a toy on eBay you had as a kid, but toys from your childhood are always the best.

  6. Can't go wrong there. I wish I still had just one toy from when I was a kid. I can see why you value this figure, and reminds me that I need to actually get a He-Man figure for my MOTU collection.

    Fun Fact: My last band's name was He-Man Complex.

    1. Jason, That is awesome, are there any videos or songs online?

      Yes if you have a MOTU collection without a he-man you need to get that he-man! :)
