Humblejack Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hi all, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from buying this but just wanted all to know that this is not the comic book that came in the box for the Intellivision. I am only doing this so someone does not buy this thinking they will complete there boxed game and find out it is the wrong one when they try to sell it. ebay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COMIC-ONLY-Masters-of-the-Universe-He-Man-Intellivision-Video-Game-System/303695702109?epid=167408149&hash=item46b5aca85d:g:IZ0AAOSwRJhfZMv8 EBAY AUCTION COMIC ORIGINAL COMIC THAT CAME IN THE BOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_intv Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This is the comic inside my box. Were there different comics included? Now I’m very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone put that in the box before they sold it to you. If you look at the bottom right hand corner of the pic I posted it has a part number that is unique to the Intellivision version. They sold many different MOTU comics but to my knowledge only one had the Intellivsion part number that is in conjunction with all Intellivision manual numbering system.

Odd for it to say Mattel Canada; is it bilingual? I'm assuming you're not the original owner. Where was the comic book printed and is that country listed on the box?

My box says made in Hong Kong,Korea,Singapore, or USA as designated thereon. I purchased it a number of years ago from a game store in Edmonton. Did the Heman action figures and play sets also come with comics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) There were tons of Mini Master of the Universe Comics. They came with toys, games, action figures you name it. Here is a pic of mini comics currently on ebay. Edited September 19, 2020 by Humblejack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) My MOTU is shrinkwrapped so I cant check the comic book. I have opened several of my shrinkwrapped games just to check the contents. This one I am leaving intact.

Kamikazi26 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Oh crap Hank, Warren bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Wuschenny Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well it appears I am still in need of the proper comic. I have 4 copies of MOTU, a sealed one from the 125 set, an open one from the 125 set (now for sale)....also with the wrong comic which i was not aware of until tonight, the 3rd white label inc. one without a comic (which is what i was hoping this purchase to fit)...also by the way if anyone has a white label inc. cartridge without the origin and date let me know, and i have a 4th game from digiplay.....which as far as I know has no comic book originally with it. Buyer beware I guess...also don't compare it to the wrong comic in your collection as well!!! So that open 125 game is for sale with wrong comic, but i still need one proper comic if there is any out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Wuschenny Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I asked for a refund and sent the seller a photo of the proper book....guess I have to wait and see for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Wuschenny Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well I see there is tracking available already....so .....so much for that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSRSteve Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 INTVFunhouse says that the Intellivision Inc games did not come with a comic, though the box indicates that it does. Which is correct? Perhaps if it is correct that they did not one with a comic, there should be a comment on the box entry noting that discrepancy.

stringfellow Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 pretty sure the same comic came with the vcs version too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I was thinking of buy this and opening it up to see which comic really did come with the M-Network (Atari). At least they offered free shipping. ATARI 2600 - MOTU: THE POWER OF HE-MAN - FACTORY SEALED - WATA 9.6 A - HIGHEST Brand New · Atari 2600 $49,999.99 Buy It Now Free shipping 24 watchers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 That sounds like an awesome plan! Particularly since that price is a rob... I mean, steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
