The 15 coolest action-adventure cartoons of the 80’s you’ll never forget

9. HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

he+man

Who can forget the bulky, muscled and brute persona of the Master of The Universe? With a very Catchy theme and cool action figures that are difficult to stand, He-Man is on our list of the Coolest 80’s Cartoons ever. Though ridiculed by 70’s fans as a gay icon (haha) because of the later appearance of a spin off series called She-Ra, He-Man was nevertheless the idol of 80’s kids in those days, long before Transformers and Thundercats were born. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, just like any business-driven cartoon series, started as a toy-line by Mattel, the very same creator and manufacturer of Barbie Doll (haha no wonder He-Man was rumored queer!). They used the He-Man Cartoons to promote their awesome action figures including Battle Cat and Castle Greyskull. It was a hit because a year before GI Joe plaqued the shelves of toy stores in the Philippines, He-Man was there first. What I like about the Cartoon Series is that it always had lessons in the end of its episodes (same with GI Joe). I was 5 years old when I first saw He-Man on GMA7 on a Friday night at 7pm an hour before the timeslot of the Wonderful World of Disney. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was so hipped and famous among kids back then that GMA7 put it on their prime time slot (a rarity on todays TV slot). It was a wise decision for GMA 7 since kids those days have no computers, Play station or Nintendo to be preoccupied with that’s why they ran the show on Friday nights as a welcoming party for the weekend ahead– no school unlike today that even saturdays and sundays are considered regular school days.. tsk tsk). He-Man made its television debut in 1983 and ran until 1984, consisting of two seasons of 65 episodes each. To this day, He-Man has one of the biggest followings in the world and will continue in the near future as Hollywood break its silence regarding its top secret plan of reviving the He-Man franchise into a live action film. Popular Characters from He-Man were Man-at-arms, Teela, Orko, Sorceress, Ram-Man, Roboto, Skeletor, Beast Man, Webstor, Whiplash, Mer-Man, Buzz-Off, Evil-Lyn, Man-E-Face, Mecha-Neck and off course Cringer and BattleCat.

    yeah! I’m loving this post bluep. Though most of the cartoons you featured I’m not even aware of because I’m one of those poor kids whose home didn’t have a tv set kaya nakikipanood lang lagi. I only got to catch up on these series when torrents and the likes became available in the internet. Pero bakit puro “poor kids” cartoon versions ang fineature mo? hahaha

    one bioman, I always play the role of Green 2 with perfect mimicry of his green boomerang. hahaha, and I won’t allow myself to take the role of Peebo. Lols!

    subconsciously, my favorite cartoon villain back then is Shadow Weaver. I liked it’s hand movements when creating spells. hahaha
