So what does one do with some terrible miniatures - use them for Masters of the Universe obviously...

So here with the first of the bad batch, see the miniature above on the left-hand side converted into Skeletor's standard bearer and mounted onto a dinosaur-like beast. I enjoyed doing the alien plant life on the base.

Great job!

The dinosaur has a really smashing paint job.

Cheers Ray Rivers and OSHIROmodels.

I am still not sure what rules I am going to use - may well use Fistful of Lead.

Need to create traits/skills for the characters especially Skeletor and He-Man.

Any suggestions on where I might be able to find a list of their abilities and powers?

I have found this for the revenant lich demon himself but lacks perhaps in detail... https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Skeletor#:~:text=Sorcery%20%2D%20Skeletor%20is%20an%20accomplished,place%20and%20even%20transmute%20objects.

See Archon’s version of the Masters of the Universe Miniature and Board game rules available here: https://archon-studio.com/downloads

Herewith, Masters of the Universe - Men-at-arms troops and another Skeletor standard as well as flags. As can be seen, I now was able to find 13 odd of the plastic toy soldier space-men.

More pictures are available here: https://frictionbmcminiatures.blogspot.com/2022/07/golgothas-masters-of-universe-men-at.html

Note the bases - included unusual-looking plant life inspired by the backgrounds of weird-looking plants one would often sees in He-Man.

Note the flag on the right here is a knock-off of the one that used to come with castle Greyskull and the one on the left is based on He-Man's chest symbol - which I also added as little flags to the above Men-at arms troops.

Skeletor standard.

Made a Hordak banner from two images.

Inspired ideas. Those figures work very well and the banners are great.

I also have a Masters of the Universe project here, so feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss sources for suitable minis.

Cheers White Knight - this chap on Etsy from Finland has some interesting MOTU Minis see: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Luova3D?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1098958312

Careful if you order though as his standard size is 40mm (though he does offer to resize).

Very creative solutions to use not so great sculpts. Really enjoy all your conversions. They fit well in the He-Man universe.

Cheers Peithetairos.

I will be adding some more flags... As I find they make good objective markers and or obvious scenery.

I see a Masters of the Universe Fields of Eternia game is also available and provides a possible source for more miniatures.
See link to rules here:https://archon-studio.com/downloads
and for a preview see:

See also Fistful of Lead game doing MOTU:

I am looking for minis that may make for suitable underlings or armies of a sort for He-Man and Skeletor's forces. Any suggestions welcome.

Certainly, RN Estudio has some options for 3d printed main characters.
See for example this excellent Ebay seller who provides a very good service and stocks them together with loads of other loveliness including Forest Dragon 10mm Fantasy minis: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/mgspainting

The Masters of the Universe live-action movie is tentatively slated for a 2024 release on Netflix. See: https://collider.com/masters-universe-movie-director-comments-tone-filming-window/

I also received the RN E studio Skeletor and He-Man both mounted and on-foot variants from MGS miniatures recently and they are cracking sculpts. The little boy in me is very excited - like being a kid again...

See: https://www.mgsminiatures.com/
