Perfect being the enemy of the good, I pushed (to a single page) a broad summary of my crude hoard of info about this obscure 1970s US/UK toy, so other seekers may benefit (or contribute).

Used to carry this little first responder everywhere in my pocket. (When I was a kid, that is 😅)
Mein Tageswerk heute:
Die alten MotU Figuren herauskramen, nach Serien ordnen (MotU, New Adventures, 2002 Toyline), schauen was sie auf eBay Wert sind und dann wieder einzeln ordentlich in Tütchen einpacken und in Stapelboxen verstauen. Schade, dass schon so viel Zubehör fehlt. Vorallem bei der New Adventures Serie, die ich Anfang der 90'er als 11/12-jähriger bekommen habe 😌. #MotU #MastersOfTheUniverse #HeMan #ActionFigures #Retro #RetroToys

Call me King Kaju!
Was gifted these adorable mini monsters (Thanks Jim!) and still trying to figure out the origins of some of them (think there are quite a few Ultraman enemies in the mix) but they are all pretty special in their own ways!
If you can identify any of them, especially the cyborg double chicken head, feel free to let me know

1980s LEGO Brick-Built Dreams—Build It Bigger!
Do you remember that satisfying LEGO feeling—when a simple set turned into a whole little world? In this 1980s-era LEGO spot, red-and-yellow brick pieces and a classic house build give you that familiar rush of imagination, like opening a box and starting “just one more” creation. If you grew up clicking studs together, this will hit right in the nostalgic sweet spot.

"Wir reißen euch sowas von den Arsch auf!"
Brian Knobbs und Jerry Sags ("The Nasty Boys") haben sich auf dem Dachboden angefunden, jetzt wird erstmal heftig fantasie-gewrestled!
Die Action-Mechanismen funktionieren noch und im Gegensatz zu den Turtles, He-Man und den Mask Figuren sind die Weichmacher wohl auch im Inneren geblieben. Die beiden liegen sowas von gut in der Hand :o)

Was very happy to re-acquire this bad boy the other day: 1996 Generation X “The Protector” (because toy companies shy away from putting “Orphan Maker” on a toy aged for 5 and up).
Amazing Chris Bachalo design. Really feels like from that period Comic artists at Marvel we’re trying to do character design that couldn’t be turned into toys. Only for them to be turned into toys anyway.
