Me too. Those Wheelers were scary - and as for Mombi and her collection of heads! Incidentally, there are 46 years between The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz, I wonder if that’s a record between sequels? Was it even a direct sequel? I always assumed some other company got the rights to adapt the novels or that they fell into public domain. I always thought of it as more of a “spiritual sequel”. |

But yeah, Return To Oz was also one that I watched really young and it kind of scared me. Though not as much as the Garthim from Dark Crystal

Dark Crystal gave me plenty of bad dreams, but I still had the sense from it that all was right with the world by the close. Return to Oz did not give me that at all. Also made me terrified of psychiatrists for a good long while! |

Spaceballs was released 35 years ago today, so I’ll put this here:

Sad news: Full story: toyworldmag.co.uk/eaglemoss-enters-administrationI bought some of their Marvel and DC figurines years ago. I feel sympathy - and indeed empathy - for anyone with a half-completed model, such as the Enterprise or Ecto-1. Not only is a half-completed model sad for the customers, but they will have zero resale value, I’m sure. Hachette and DeAgostini are still in business. It’s a tough market, I’m certain. |

Great, but I don’t think the head looks *anything* like He-Man:

Looks like a pretty good likeness for the He-Man of the show it represents (which is not classic He-Man)  -M |

I guess we all see things differently. ;-)
I just thought the toy looked more like he’s related to John Cena.
Incidentally, The New Adventures of He-Man is ripe for rediscovery. Didn’t enjoy it as a kid, but respected it years later. Often look for figures, but often pricey on eBay. Wasn’t keen on Skeletor gaining eyes, though.
