Anyone have info one this? Which vehicles/playsets shown in the Secret Wars comic book ended up in the Masters of the Universe toy line?
Given the difference in scale between Secret Wars and He-Man, I'd think that the switch would have been made way before the prototype/production stage.
There were a number of big props and sets on Battleworld, but I don't remember anything specifically resembling the toys. Was there any pressure to include playsets and vehicles in the comic?
I think I included some of the toy stuff, but Mattel pulled some bait and switch. They showed us things that they later ended up using for He-Man and stuck the Marvel license with cast-off gadgets and items. The important thing to them was that there were "playset" fortresses and vehicles of some sort. If things didn't match up perfectly, no big deal.
