Masters of the Universe may have been a disappointment at the box office, but its fandom is alive and well. How do we know? Well, someone just spent over $80,000 on a vintage toy from the franchise, setting an all-time record for the most valuable 1980s production action figure ever sold at auction. At the recently ended Spring Premiere Auction run by LCG Auctions, a 1983 Masters of the Universe He-Man toy, graded 90 by AFA, sold for $80,736. It broke the previous Masters of the Universe record set in 2022, when an AFA 80 of the same toy sold for $32,512. The 90, though, is believed to be the highest-graded He-Man toy in existence. According to the press release, “the figure has remained virtually untouched for more than four decades. The card exhibits exceptional color and surface quality, while the crystal-clear blister has avoided the yellowing commonly found on surviving examples. The absence of a peg-hole punch indicates it likely never reached a retail store shelf.” Here’s the full image. This He-Man toy just sold for over $80,000. – LCG Auctions But that wasn’t everything. A 1984 Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain, graded an AFA 85, also sold for $78,659, which is a record for that particular set. Here’s a closer look.
