It looks a lot less like a nostalgia convention than you might expect. Sure, there were vintage toys. There were Filmation characters. There were plenty of people who can probably identify a loose accessory from 1984 from 20 feet away. But MOTUFest 2026 felt bigger than that. It felt like a fandom that has become…

The iconic voice behind the original He-Man dies at age 88. In the fantastical city of Eternia, where power and honor reign supreme, a voice emerged that would define a generation. John Erwin, the man behind He-Man's iconic battle cry, "I have the power!", has left us at the age of 88, passing away from natural causes in his Camarillo, California home in December 2024. As I took my first bite of the morning's cereal, I couldn't help but reminisce about those days spent glued…
