For some reason, my toy collection has always included a disembodied He-Man. I have no memory of the beheading or even having the rest of the toy. Floating-Head He-Man simply is.
Even without a body, I've always had a soft spot for the poor thing. Perhaps it's out of pure sympathy. No "Master of the Universe" deserves to exist in such a state. As such, a devious experiment arose: Headmaster He-Man:
I never really planned this. It just happened. The ease in which He-Man's creepy neck-hole plugs onto Inferno's roof makes me seriously suspicious of some greater divine intent. Somehow, it just seems RIGHT.
However, once you get a little taste of something good, it's only natural to want more. In my quieter moments, I eventually found myself tempted to force the He-Man head onto other bodies:
At some point, my buddy GogDog even joined in on the fun:
For those not as familiar with Transformers, you're likely snickering at the term "Headmaster," but that refers to an old gimmick wherein the robots' heads were also Transformers (more or less.) Trippy stuff. It's not quite the same, but the "Headmaster" moniker still seems to fit the act of plugging He-Man's head onto other bodies. The head's pliable nature makes it work on more toys than you'd think, and finding suitable candidates is oddly fun.
Oh, and if you think the possibilities end at mere head replacements, you are tragically mistaken:
"I HAVE THE POWER" indeed.
That about does it for now. If you'd like to try out some "Headmaster He-Man" configurations of your own, feel free to post 'em in the comments below!
