Who are the Power Lords?
Power Lords: The Extra-Terrestrial Warriors were action figures, released by Revell Toys in 1983. They were quite obviously designed to capitalize on the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe line from Mattel, which was phenomenally popular at the time. Revell heavily promoted the toy line when it was released, teaming with DC Comics for a three-issue Power Lords mini-series, releasing Power Lords puzzles and board games, and — most relevant for this FAQ — convincing Philips to release a Power Lords Odyssey² game. Unfortunately, it was slated to come out at the same time Philips discontinued the Odyssey². The game was released, but only barely — and is extremely rare today. As it turns out, the toy line wasn’t very successful either. Today, the extremely obscure video game for the relatively obscure Odyssey² system is probably better known than the action figures that inspired it!
