Masters of the Universe Lords of Power prototypes.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -

It's a really fun story behind it. Can you imagine being the kid getting to play with those prototypes long before the line came out?You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Wow, fascinating stuff! This line went through so many changes before becoming the toys we grew up with. From the "hero of many eras" concept to this. And that prototype Mer-Man look stuck around for a long time in mini-comics and books, despite the toy head looking really nothing like it.Comment

It is really cool. The play mat is wicked.
I imagine all that stuff was hand made and painted and the extra little details and paint aps probably didn't cost out for release.
I am glad they went with the skull head for Skeletor over the rotten zombie flesh of prototype.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

So cool. Love this line, it's one of the best ever. Wish I never sold my childhood toys from MOTU. The pictures in the article were great. I've the reissues Mattel offered, which, I wish they continued in favor of focusing on the Y2K launch for the new show. I liked what Mattel did with the 4 Horsemen, but I never collected any of those. Just wish they'd bring back the old again.Comment

I do have high hopes of Super7 continuing the original line. They just revealed He-Ro and Eldor and both looked great.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

I actually found this site because Battle Ram is my blog and I saw hits coming from here. Very cool forum you have here. I look forward to learning more about Mego toys.
These "Lords of Power" prototypes really are incredible. To me this is the biggest He-Man related discovery in a long time.Comment
