What is He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?
Masters of the Universe” is a cartoon based on action figures by Mattel, Inc. and was animated by the now-defunct Filmation. The syndicated show, which featured the exploits of a super-strong hero named He-Man, debuted in Sept. 1983, and throughout the course of 2 seasons, aired 130 episodes. “Masters of the Universe” also goes down in marketing history as being the first cartoon of the ’80s to be based on an action figure line after FCC deregulation.
