Nothing wrong with that. I had a vintage tin Empire Strikes Back lunch box I got a few years ago. I used it as a display piece but my daughter has decided it’s to carry her dolls clothes and accessories

That's okay. When I saw that these action figures were re-released a couple years ago and ended up on Target shelves, you better believe I bought them all. I loved this show. Had the Castle Greyskull. All of it. Well...not *all* of it... The He-Man that my mom got me wasn't this one featured here. It was the "Battle Armor" He-Man. I sat on being disturbed by that for nearly 40 years and was THE reason I got all these action figures at Target, including the "proper" He-Man. She meant well lol...
