EDIT: *******Giveaway closed! Read this post for the details.******

(Note: this is my first giveaway. I just feel like I have to do it in return for all the generosity of whom I have already benefited in this forum. I hope that everything goes well and above all that it ends up being fun for all participants. Hat tip to user 01kipper, to whose awesome "Yo, Joe!" giveaway this one of mine is obviously and heavily indebted. Too bad I didn't take part in that!)

I am sure that many GOGers remember pretty well the "Masters of the Universe" toy-line-cum-animated-TV-series of the 80s (younger or uninformed GOGers might want to do a bit of research over the Internet).

Now that's the subject of this giveaway. You can win up to 5.99$ in GOG games of your choice; to take part, you just have to designate: A) your favourite good guy (or girl!) and B) your favourite villain. You can motivate your choice if you feel so inclined.
Note that I am mainly referring to the "classic" series, but you can talk about modern versions too, if you like. And your characters of choice need not appear in the cartoon.

For additional fun, you could try to come out with a plausible explanation as to why no one ever realizes that He-Man is Prince Adam, even if the only difference is... less clothes.
You can talk about mount and vehicles as well.
Or, since we're on GOG, you could relate your experience with ancient videogames based on the franchise.
Heck, you could even post a picture of one of those action figures if you still happen to own some.

You must have a custom avatar and a title different from "New User". Please only enter for yourself.

The giveaway will be considered closed on Saturday June 7th at 4:00 pm (Italian time). The winner will then be picked randomly among all valid entries, shortly after.

If you want, you can state right away the game you'd like to be gifted; or you can wait my PM announcing victory if you're undecided or want to see what will be on sale in the weekend promo (or if you don't want your choice to be made public).

Of course, you can contribute even if you are not interested in the giveaway; just state it explicitly.

Now it's up to you!

Teela was my favorite cause she was hot... Skeletor was the villain cause he looked cool.

I think Teela knew that Adam was He-man, she just kept it a secret so when she was hooking up with Adam and it wasn't doing it for her she could fantasize about He-Man. She probably told Adam about her He-man threesome fantasies just to see his reaction.

Seriously I like to think that the sorceress at Castle Greyskull used some method to cloud one's mind to make the entire kingdom not realize that Adam was He-Man. Speaking of the castle it is sitting on the back porch being played with by my kids right this very moment, Though He-man has suffered serious injuries where his legs fall off all the time, and all but the skeletor where his armor dents when you press it have been destroyed. Hawkman has been missing an arm for over a decade and man at arms is man-no-arms as well.

By the power of Generosity, you are the MAAAAAAAN
Per la forza di Greyskull!

I'm in :D

My favourite good guy is Orko, while the villain one is, of course, is Skeletor (classic version).

He-Man has a horrible cut-hair to be a hero :D

Not in.
I'm in too many active GAs at the moment, so I'll skip some, but +1.

When I was little I was always confused as why everyone treated He-Man and Prince Adam as different people XD

"Ehy look here, Adam took off his shirt, now he is He-Man !!!"
I'm in because this is a fun giveaway : D Hm, I'm gonna have to go with Cringer/Battlecat for fav good guy. I liked him getting to kick some butt after cowering around for most of the time. Am I wrong, or did they come out with a fuzzy version of the toy, later on? For the ladies, I always really wanted a sorceress toy ... *sigh*. For villains, definitely Skeletor. This is due in part to his portrayal in the cartoon, of course. Honourable mention goes to Snout Spout! Cyborg elephant with a tragic past that's also a squirt gun? Yup.
Not in but this never gets old.
What's Goin' On?

Wow, congrats and thanks on your first giveaway! I'm in!

I loved He-Man as a kid...I can't find my action figurse anymore, but I have his sword in my pencil jar.
Kinda depressing that I barely remember any of it anymore ;(.
Favourite good guy obviously would be She-Ra. :D
Favourite bad guy is the only one I can remember, Skeletor, but he deserves it.

Weirdly enough, strongest in my memory is how much Orko annoyed me. Everything about him bothered me.

Heh...and maybe everyone knew Adam was He-Man, but were just too embarrassed to tell him.
I'm so in.

Remember it, hell, I lived for that cartoon for years. My brother and I had (and still have, in an attic somewhere) the vast majority of the toys - and yes, we had both Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain. I loved the voice changer thing on Snake Mountain, that was so cool.

Picking a favourite is going to be hard though. Honourable mention has to go to Ram Man because, well, it was a more innocent age then if they could get away with calling him that! Oh, and Fisto...

Think for the heroes, it's a toss-up between and [url=http://www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=1266]Rio Blast.

For the villains, probably either or [url=http://www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=572]Jitsu. Could have sworn he was called Ju-Jitsu, never mind...
