5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book. Truly perfect for diehard fans of MOTU or Pop Culture in general
The books is choked full on information about MAsters of the Universe, characters, vehicles, technology, weapons, locations, etc. A must own for a MOTU diehard or pop culture afficionado in general
5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful fit with the previous Dark Horse MOTU releases
This is the guide we have all been wanting and waiting for since the start. Ever since the MV Creations Encyclopedia comics went unfinished this is an impressive replacement, though Val Staples luckily still got to produce it.A beautiful fit with the previous Dark Horse MOTU releases, this Encyclopedia is full of everything and everyone. If I had any complaint it is that I may have preferred not every little minor character have an entry, and to be sure it is not 100% every named thing in MOTU cannon...but I would not be surprised if it did. It's impressive and clearly an attempt at a definitive book. But at the end of the day I could have missed a large number of small paragraph booring human nobodies.Another small criticism is that though we have an art book I would have liked as close to a full body shot of a character when available. With such an impressive amount of entries I know that space was at a premium but as a visual person I would have liked to see more of the images and full body shots.Do not mistake explanation of personal taste as any real criticism however. Just felt it needed to be said. Point is if you care about MOTU at all, you need this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for He-Man and She-Ra fans
I have been waiting for this book for a very long time. MOTU and (even moreso) She-Ra PoP were a huge part of my childhood. I had most of the figures and played with them all the time. Then, one day, the series was just gone. I never forgot about it and always missed it.Anyway, this book lists every character, animal, monster, artifact, and place that appeared in any of the various formats in which the stories of He-Man and She-Ra were told (books, magazines, comic books, mini comics, newspaper comics, animation, and motion picture...am I forgetting any?).With each entry, there is usually at least one picture. More prominent characters will have more pictures, usually one from each format, including their action figures (if there was one). There is a chart that shows where they're from, any other names they have, which side they're on, and their powers/abilities/weapons. Then, we get a brief history and description of their role in the stories and how they were portrayed across each medium.The book is divided into seven chapters: 1) Characters, 2) Beasts, Creatures, and Monsters, 3) Factions, Organizations, Species, and Races, 4) Artifacts, Devices, and Weapons, 5) Spells and Magic, 6)Locations, and 7) Vehicles and Transportation. There is also fold out page that features a family tree for the Grayskull royal family.The book is a hefty hardcover with no dust jacket, similar to the other books put out by Dark Horse. The cover features color illustrations of many characters in a battle scene. Inside, the pages are glossy and feature many color illustrations and photos.This book is essential for He-Man and She-Ra fans.
5.0 out of 5 stars The little boy in me is so happy!
This is everything I wanted from this book, and even more.Not only that the cover, the format, the quality of paper and print are amazing, but the amount of content and the attention to detail is breath-taking!
5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of reading material
This whole run of Masters Of The Universe art and episode guide books have all been amazing. I was late in coming to this Character guide and am so glad to have purchased it.It’s the most exhaustive catalog of information I think available for both the Masters and the She-Ra lines. From notable favorites (like Teela and Trap-Jaw) to the far more obscure (Dial-A-Mug and Icer) each entry covers appearances from across all mediums including the original toy line, the cartoon, storybooks and later reboots.It’s the perfect tome to thumb through. Every page has amazing trivia on this long lasting franchise.
4.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for better but it holds dear memories
Man I was so excited to get this book and I just was not as impressed as I thought I would be. For a massive, all inclusive, detailed, take no prisoners and hang on to the ultimate He-Man/She-Ra experience...the artwork....really sucked. I was trying to think of a nicer way of saying the artwork sucked but it did. I mean I hate video still screenshot pictures of cartoons in books because I mean come on, cant you guys draw them freehand into different scenes, type of person and I would of almost preferred screenshots of the cartoon. Some characters that were mentioned was just poor in their description. Queen Angelica I literally missed because I thought she would have a larger picture. Glimmer had a decent size page but I remember Queen Angelica fighting off harpies and being an awesome fighting Queen. Overall I think it could of been a lot better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about MOTU (But were afraid to ask...)
This book is a massive compendium which includes entries about every character, place, faction, and item from almost the entire history of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, from the major to the obscure, all the way to MOTU Classics! My only complaint is I wish they would list more specific information about character appearances. Like, if a character only appeared in one episode of a cartoon or issue of a comic it would be nice to know the title of the episode of the issue number of the comic so you could see it if you want. Otherwise this is the ultimate encyclopedia for any He-Man, She-Ra, or Masters of the Universe fan!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for any fan! :)
I love this book! I've been slowly collecting all of these MOTU hardback books and love every one of them. This has been a delight to read because even after 30 years, I learn new things about MOTU. The layout and pictures are beautiful and though I still have a ways to go, I plan to read it from cover to cover. A must have for any Masters of the Universe or Princess of Power fan. Thanks to the team that brought this to the public! :)
