If remember correctly Mattel tried to do an end run around to get a licence before the film, like they missed with Star Wars, for 'Conan The Barbarian' think mucho toy sales. Film wasn't targeted for toy buying age (had some Claret involved) So they had to create a world and story for He-Man...

Really? These kids were not little Millenials yet and actually did their best to get to see any movie where the Governator hacks up bad guys with a sword. I certainly had my ways to get to see any movie. Like Alien in 1979. Rated R, so I should not have gotten in for another six or seven years. Liked the movie, except for that Mexican girl who kept screaming one or two rows behind me.
Ooops. I just remembered where I saw that movie.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I think 'they' also did a Toy line for Aliens, which kinda suffered the same fate. I think the kids were not quite the right age for toys that saw it. I do remember a toy collector on one of those Antiques Roadshow toy collectors thing in Discovery who had one in the box was worth quite a bit!

You mean this innocent little toy[^]? I was definitely the right age, but quickly abandoning my childhood to put together a computer. This action figure helped me along that path to the dark side because it scared the hell out of my mother and I would never have gotten it.

...of course now we are in the modern enlightened times the Power of Greyskull will produce "She-Man"!
Skeletor will still be male though. Apparently only heros are female these days.

No, that will offend any Gods out there. The name has to be "It-Entity".

Easy one for today.
Play? one with many, to buy fake land. (8)
Solution:
Play = game
One = Mono
Many = Poly
to buy fake land = The theme of the game monopoly you buy properties.

Nope. The ways of the detector are not for the mind of mortal man. Except Mathew. And he knows everything.
That and if we explained the reasoning, it might help spammers bypass it. Your "spammer flag" should automatically come off soon(ish) anyway, so don't worry about it - we're reasonably quick at moderating.
It's take time because we don't know the answer ...

Its fun figuring out the puzzle but not setting them, too much work...

Yep. If tomorrow goes unsolved, it reverts to the person who posted the CCC you solved. That'd be me ...

Falstaff?
(associated with many plays)
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, it doesn't have to do with plays.
|
|

|

I don't understand why you have "play?" (game) in the clue?
Game is not part of the answer, and you already have "to buy fake land" as the definition...
