#895 Heraclio Fournier - Masters Del Universo Together With He-Man (1988 Together With 1991)



Two of my most favorite decks of cards of all times are these Heraclio Fournier. Of class He-Man in addition to the Masters of the Universe are 2 of my favorite toylines, thence whatever related article is for me rattling interesting. But I am likewise a collector of Heraclio-Fournier menu decks, thence my involvement is double.



The commencement deck "Masters of the Universe" was released inward 1988, followed past times the "He-Man" deck inward 1991. Both incorporate 32 cards, addition the comprehend menu amongst the instructions printed on the back. Both decks are rattling similar, amongst rattling few differences. Beside the blueprint of the cards, the menu dorsum has dissimilar colours, (purple or orange), the rules belong to 2 dissimilar games in addition to likewise the numbering of the cards is different.

Let’s halt at this lastly difference.

The Masters of the Universe deck has its cards numbered from 1 to 32, in addition to and thence inward the lower run of the card, nosotros tin read the hollo of the character, object or house depicted, addition roughly text inward brackets. The commencement 12 are “Master Bueno” (or Good Master), the cards numbered xiii to 23 are “Master Malo” (or Bad Master), numbers 24 to 29 are “Horda del Terror” (name given inward Kingdom of Spain to the Evil Horde), xxx in addition to 31 are “Vehiculos” (or vehicles), in addition to menu 32 is “Varios” (or various). To the rules of the game, the Evil Horde, vehicles in addition to diverse cards all belong together to a 3rd group, thence nosotros may summarize, at that spot are cards belonging to the “good”, “bad” in addition to “others” groups. Note that at that spot are roughly inconsistencies, similar Hordak beingness marked “bad” instead of “Evil Horde” or Zodac beingness marked “bad” equally well.





The He-Man deck uses the to a greater extent than mutual partitioning inward 4 families amongst 8 cards each (for instance ruby-red 1, ruby-red 2, ... upwards to ruby-red 8, in addition to thence yellow, in addition to thence light-green in addition to finally blue). In this case, all ruby-red in addition to xanthous cards stand upwards for characters or vehicles belonging to Skeletor in addition to the bad guys in addition to the bluish in addition to light-green families are showing alone characters in addition to vehicles of He-Man’s team.


And now, let’s focus on the illustrations.

The "Masters of the Universe" deck shows rattling interesting concept fine art drawings of many characters from waves 1 to 4. These illustrations were unknown at the time, what made it fifty-fifty to a greater extent than interesting. I direct maintain seen roughly of these inward comics from Egmont (from the UK) or Ehapa (Germany), but I exercise non know where exercise they came from. None of them is taken from the cardbacks (except Zodac). I direct maintain checked the “The Art of He-Man in addition to the Masters…” book, but I flora none of them… whatever existent goodness who tin seat me on the correct rail here?

The text that become amongst each figure are sometimes freely chosen from the appearance of the figure, in all likelihood because Heraclio-Fournier did non direct maintain much background information close this or that figure. Note for instance that the artwork for Stinkor shows the “Stench of Evil” over his head, in addition to it vaguely looks similar fire. In the description it is mentioned, that it owns a burn armour that makes him almost unreachable. This is only an example, but at that spot are others.



And now, let's expire on amongst the "He-Man" deck. Note that most cards demo a moving-picture demo of the actual toy, amongst alone a yoke of exceptions (both Battle Punch He-Man cards, light-green 1 in addition to light-green 3). Note that the figures that stand upwards for the actual toy are taken from official Mattel catalogues in addition to promotional leaflets. Interestingly, the cards demo fifty-fifty the lastly figures released inward 1992, which were never available inward Spain.

This deck has no text, except for the names of the characters or vehicles.


Sorry for the character inward the He-Man deck pictures, they were taken several years earlier the MotU deck, in addition to I didn't seat much assist inward them.
