This book was written by a friend of mine and fellow Masters of the Universe collector (among many other toys and figures), and I had the honor of writing the prologue. It is a comprehensive compilation of all kinds of material related to Masters of the Universe, the movie directed by Gary Goddard and produced by Cannon Films.
The book spans more than 300 pages and includes press articles, magazines, posters, cinema promotional material, video and DVD releases, multiple versions of the original soundtrack in different formats, toys, photographs, and many other items you wouldn’t even imagine. The author has been collecting this memorabilia since the movie premiered in 1987.
All this material (including publications from around the world) has been compiled into a scrapbook-style volume by Applehead Team, a publisher from Spain. The book is in Spanish, but aside from the introductory pages of each chapter, it can be followed easily even if you don’t speak the language.
The result is truly impressive. When I first saw it, I couldn’t believe how well it had been put together. Within the collector community it has been selling very well, with many requests coming from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and other countries. I believe this trend will continue for years, as it is still relatively unknown within the MotU community.
