Okay this may be a bit of a stretch but does anybody remember the old Commander M Fan Club back in the 80's or infact was anyone a member?,

you used to get a newsletter which had stories and activities and all those cool things kids like aswell as the odd free items including posters, badges and stickers.

This was built around the He-Man and Hot Wheels Franchises and in later years Bravestarr was showcased.

Now i dont know where my newsletters ended up over the years and i was just curious if anyone at all happens to have them aswell???

it is something i cant seem to find much of on the net and just a curious bit of nostalgia worth sharing. if we can find anything on it

I don't have any of the memorabilia anymore, but I was a member from the second newsletter all the way to the end (when Commander M had to go on a mission in outer space and leave us behind. But he sent me a 'free' MOSC King Hiss as compensation. :p)

I was a member of the Commander M club. I don't recall getting compensation from him though when he left for his mission:mad:

Anyone know a good a bounty hunter that can track him down for me?:p

I used to be a member, I probably still have the newsletters in a box in the ceiling at my parents place. probably wont get home till Christmas to have a look though.

I remember getting a He-man figure, actually it was from the She-Ra line I think, some sort of mosquito man that pumped fake blood over a window in the chest when you push a button on the back.

my only ever figure from the He-Man universe. I thought it was a birthday gift from the club but it might have been when it closed up.

That was Mosquitor, who was a Masters Of The Universe Evil Horde figure.

Mosquitor, cool, thanks. I would have sworn it was a bad guy in the She Ra show though.

The bad guys in the She-Ra animated series were generally Horde characters, but Mosquitor himself was never in the cartoon.

Heh, I begged and begged to join and finally convinced my folks to join... just before it closed. :D I got the badges, 2 newsletters and we were sent a figure (pretty sure it was a Horde Trooper???) and our money order was sent back for the inconveniance.

lol, money orders... remember those? :p

Dudes, I have a number of newsletters with mainly MOTU comic/stories, and then bravestar stories, plus the badge, birthday card etc.
I haven't seen anyone else out there with any!

There is next to nothing on the old Internet about it as well and I know there are more members out there. It would be great to get the old newsletters scanned and uploaded on the net some where as a lasting memory. I will dig mine out one day.


Welcome to the club!!!

I've been meaning to scan mine to share, however I've been looking for a good place to share them on, a certain "official" website may not be the right place to do this, so this place may well do instead!
