I have memory's of using a giant Teddy bear as battle cat (I must have been 4ish), heman jelly sweets that smelled like mmmmmm and must have caught it first airing on TV though I remember years later watching the reruns more.
My first figure must have been Zodac and I guess having a giod/bad guy in one meant I never got another figure for him to fight
Though I did get some years (mainly when my younger brother was older both of us would get one to fight each other, instead of physically fighting each other). I later remember playing with a friends when I was nine during reruns and he had grayskull and loads of figures).
I remember Shera being good too (still is going back to it too for me) but that's mainly because of writers like straczynski. Weird thing is new adventures looks like it is something that would have been written by him (kinda captain powerish Sci fi) even tho it wasnt. Not sure how original Shera supposedly had a gay following or got deheterosexualised by netflix when in the original a dragon repeatedly uses a discriminatory hand gesture when bow finds himself in women's clothes but hey ho o.O times change.
I'll give new adventures a try as it does kind of have a flash Gordon look to it.
