So…yeah, the actors who played Saurod and Blade in the 1987 live-action Masters of the Universe movie have cut videos asking you to subscribe to Club Eternia, thanks to He-Man.org member Captain Atkin.
First up is Pons Maar, a.k.a Saurod:
Next we have Anthony “Blade” De Longis:
And as a bonus, here’s our own Pixel Dan:
Aw, come on! This thing is gettin' ridiculous….
I have to respect the lengths people are going to try and get people to get more subs.
Also, that Saurod character art is pretty amazing.
Hi everyone, my first time posting here, but a longtime reader, Poe!!
Nice to see the actors, but a) this is ludicrous, and b) I don't give a c**p about Blade and Saurod aka "The Poor Man's Triklops and Mer-Man".
If they bring Frank Langella or Dolph Lundgren, however…
But seriously, this is insane. Such desperation only makes me wish the line dies with some dignity…
Someone was laying it on a little thick.
I think only He-man can save the Motu Classics now!!
I already bought my sub but I´m thinking it is not possible to reach the goal this year!!
In my opinion the line became to expensive with 2 or 3 figures each month and less interesting with the mean caracters already done!!
I love the line and they are my favorite action figures in this moment, but I think we are going to get 6 or 7 figures next year with high prices and finishes the line!!!
Pons' hat is the business. If they made his figure, would there be an alternate head with the hat?
That hat could sort out Digital River, no question.
Dolph could talk me into it.
And if that fails, he will kick you into it.
This is pretty pathetic and embarassing. If Mattel would sort out their problems with Digital river and stick to 1 figure a month instead of useless variants and D-list characters from NA, POP and 200X they wouldn't be in this situation.
Question for ya, Mark: who's your number one MOTUC want?
Can't say I have one as I no longer collect the line and those I did own I sold off a couple years ago.
And Anthony de Longis is Duncan…
No, he's Blade… And he was the Sheriff in Red Dead Redemption
Jeez, guys, lighten up. I think this is hilarious and fun! Grateful to these two actors for making the effort.
Hilarious indeed…
It IS awful and terrible that people want the line to continue, isn't it? /end sarcasm
Seriously folks, Mattel didn't ask these guys to do this. John Atkin, a poster at the Org is friends with the actors and they did him a favor. There are still a lot of people that want this line to keep going even despite the DR issues, QC problems and price hike.
Nothing wrong with trying to save a line you want… but don´t you think this a little too much? Its like human lives are at the stake.
What´s next, Golan & Globus pleading from the grave?
I do agree that it's very over the top and silly. But I also think it's quite amusing and any effort to keep the line going is welcome in my book, silly or not.
Right then, Bale, Cavill? Time to step up gents…
The guy who played Songster in the live show… that'll do the trick.
Matty should win an Emmy or Tony or something! Subpocalypse for best nerd drama …I love this I can wait for monday to see the fireworks…the beauty of it is that no matter which way it goes there will fireworks.
"Don't let that be my legacy." That's awesome. Come on everyone…do it for Blade!
This is just sort of silly yet totally awesome.
I don’t understand the complaints about this. I love this line but seriously, who cares if a TOY LINE dies with dignity? It’s a TOY LINE!
If these guys want to do everything they can to save it, let ‘em go nuts I say. It’s damn entertaining. Hell, let ‘em write “Save MOTUC” on the moon with a giant laser. I’ll throw in $5 on kick starter for that. :-p
P.S. we’re apparently up to 70% of what’s necessary. Given that there are probably more than a few very lazy people like me waiting until the last day, I totes think the sub will make it.
I share the same sentiments as most of the posters here have already adequately expressed!
This is totally awesome. I cannot wait to see what is coming for the weekend last minute rush!
this is emotional hijacking… and it still didn't work. but it's fun to see anyways.
Yes it all the things mention above, but isn't the same thing true about the line itself? hahha
this reminds me of last year… watch. every sub will go through again. since matty doesnt tell numbers, we have no real proof that this is anything more than asshole marketing 101 and getting the internet to advertise for you for free.
I can see next year's video:
Hi, It's me, Dolph Lundgren, He-Man. Mattel has finally gotten the rights to make a He-Man that looks like me. I've never had a He-Man that looks like me and now I want one. buy the 2014 Club Eternia Subscription now. I have done too many straight to DVD S***ty movies that will never have an action figure. I already have Ivan Drago, but I need a He-Man to complete the pinnacle of my movie career. Buy the sub or I MUST BREAK YOU… because I HAVE THE POWER!!! Seriously buy the sub or I will personally kick your face for not doing so.
(much better if read in Dolph's voice)
not only will he beat your ass, remember, the guy's a friggin' genius… so after a thorough ass kicking, he'll break you down into your constituent sub-atomic particles, run your ass through the large hadron collider, and create a singularity with you… that's right, not only will he break you… he'll higgs boson your ass!
