Being a boy in the late 80’s and early 90’s meant that I played with action figures. Like most the kids I knew, I had TMNTurtles, legos, and all that fun stuff, plus a bunch of He-Man figures. I don’t know where they came from, I never even watched He-Man! But I know the characters because I had the figures. The man who did the poster print you see above and below knew his stuff. He was an AVID He-Man fan. He knows so much about He-Man that he hypothesized the history of He-Man and did this print: “Mr. Villians Class of 1983.”

Classy.

As you might already have guessed, every one of those characters there is a He-Man villain except for He-Man himself. He-Man is of course a dunce in this, he being the only one who does not like evil or killing for fun.

This image was made for an art show called “We’ll Be Right Back…After These Messages” that pays homage to the classic cartoons of the 80’s and early 90’s. Friggin neat. The poster print is an edition of 50 printed in the giclée fashion. You could even buy it I bet if you headed on over to the artist’s shop: Christopher Lee (The Beast is Back). I believe he has just a few left!
