Like the moc He-Man, I think a visit to Cardiff might be in order it's only an hour and a half away.

Eds, you should make the trip!

Dave's shop alone is fantastic! I was there a hour and a half today, just looking through all the stuff - there's LOADS - AF, SW, He-Man, Thundercats, Transformers, MASK, Action Man, Smurfs, Ghostbusters, Superheroes, Bucks Rogers, Dukes of Hazard, Happy Days, Playmobil, etc, etc. Plus BMX's, Choppers, '80's computers and arcade machines....

There are 3 other vintage toy shops in Cardiff as well, though not as good.

I should work for the Cardiff Tourist Office.........

Mantenna is kind of the Muton of the He-Man world apparently, lots of them about, hence the low price.

Nope, Paul. Mantenna was an individual, and the comic relief of the Horde. Everytime he failed on a mission, Hordak made him fall from a trapdoor (into a moat, I guess).

The Evil Horde army-builder was the Horde Trooper (looks like an Stormtrooper, save for the helmet and the Horde insignia).

Hi D.A.
I think Paul was talking about the quantity of figures released or lack of interest by buyers when it was 1st sold, rather than a character type or trait.

Over here, in Europe (well the U.K. any way) is a cheap toy to find due to either overprodution or lack of sales back in the 80's

Awwwwwwwww - Pauli, Pauli, Pauli- look at what you've gone and done now!! Jumped straight from the top of that slippery slope! And possibly pushed me off on your way too!!! Lovely items! Lovely!

Whoops, I didn't know that. Sorry.
