Anyone who grew up in the 80s would be familiar with He-Man. With a big ass sword, crazy ripped muscles, a 'battle cat' and a secret identity as a wealthy playboy, he was an inspiration to us all. He was also a license to print money. The Masters of the Universe franchise used to make stupid money thanks to the He-Man action figures, television series and the mountains of licensed crap.
25 years later, the same people who used to run around in their underwear with a plastic sword yelling "By the Power of Grayskull" are re-living their dodgy childhood memories. Los Angeles Gallery 1988 is hosting a new group exhibitions and if you haven’t already figured it out, He-Man (and The Masters of the Universe) is the focus. Let’s have a look, shall we.
