"Power Of Grayskull" is impressive. The sheer volume of material, interviews, exposition and archive footage fills this extensive exploration of the He-man franchise completely. So much so you would think it would overwhelm any attention to tell a cohesive story, but it doesn't. Randall Lobb and Robert McCallum in such away that the segments create a complete story from He-man's beginning, right into it's recent incarnation.
This is just a really entertaining slice of nostalgia. Also it is told through first person accounts of the creator, toy designers, artists, the film He-man (Dolph Lundgren), and the fandom with such ease, you feel like you are just hanging out while these really cool people reminisce. I did find issue with the abrupt ending garnering none of the gravitas it deserved. Still that is minor given all the awesomeness in "Power Of Grayskull". If you were a child of the 80's and a fan of He-man then this is definitely a must watch.
