- GIANT HE-MAN! 3-D Printed Masters of the Universe Figures
From Toy Shelves to 240% Scale Replicas - True Legacy Design"
Welcome back to the True Legacy Design UA-cam channel, where we delve deep into the world of toy nostalgia and craftsmanship. In this exclusive episode, we have the privilege of meeting Matthew Smith, the visionary founder behind True Legacy. Prepare to embark on an exciting journey as we step into Matthew's workshop, where he and his team are busy crafting something truly epic!
Matthew's passion for preserving the essence of our beloved childhood memories led him to embark on an incredible quest. In this video, he takes us behind the scenes of True Legacy, where they are diligently working on bringing the iconic Masters of the Universe toy line back to life - but with an awe-inspiring twist.
Imagine the nostalgia of your favorite action figures, but supersized to a whopping 240% of their original dimensions! That's precisely what Matthew and his team are doing, and you won't believe your eyes when you see the results.
Matthew's journey into this remarkable project began with a unique experience featured on Toy Federation's UA-cam channel. He initially purchased the entire Masters of the Universe line off the shelves of Toy Federation, setting the stage for his ambitious endeavor. Those vintage figures became the cornerstone of this grand undertaking, serving as the foundation for the meticulously detailed 3D replicas you'll witness in this video.
As Matthew takes us through the shop, he shares his unwavering commitment to staying true to the original design and colors of these iconic characters. The use of vintage figures was not just a choice but a necessity to capture the essence of Masters of the Universe in its purest form.
The ultimate goal for True Legacy? Building awe-inspiring statues of famous toy lines that ignite a sense of nostalgia in every collector's heart. While they set their sights on that grand mission, their current focus is on creating a Masters of the Universe display for the VIP section of Retro-Toy Convention this November. You won't want to miss this sneak peek into what promises to be an unforgettable showcase for all Masters of the Universe fans!
Join us on this incredible journey as we explore the meticulous craftsmanship, dedication, and love for toy culture that define True Legacy Design.

Who came here from Toy Federation?
me!
@MattWaltonChannel Nice! Welcome
Me
@@estereddie Yes! So glad you're here
👍
So great that you have a channel now! Can't wait for Retro-Toy Con!
Retro is going to be amazing! Best con of the year
@@TrueLegacyDesign Thank you! We try!
Came here from Toy Fed!
Awesome! Toy Fed started it all
Toy Federation brought me here. 😁
Nice! So glad you’re here
Thankful I watched your video, awesome camera shots/pans!! Fingers crossed on the licensing! 🤞
Thanks so much!
I am Italian, from Rome and when I was a child MOTU were my favorite toys, because of their design, beautiful artwork on the boxes and the cartoon series. Seeing this project of yours come to life and listening to the motivations that inspired you takes me back in time, when I made Webstor climb the tree we had in the garden, or I made Fisto fight Jitsu and obviously He-Man against Skeletor riding Battlecat and Panthor. I recently rediscovered my passion for MOTU and I'm buying some characters from the Origins line with the various vehicles, and I have to say that it's giving me a lot of satisfaction. I hope to see your project realized with animatronics, perhaps in a gigantic diorama, as if it were a battlefield like in the illustrations of the past. It would be nice to see more videos like this of the works in progress, because they are really interesting to me.
Thank you for watching and yes our plan is to show more videos of the process! Every Saturday!
I saw you in Toy Federation's channel, you did an incredible work, I am 47 now and this make me come back to my childhood with my favourite toys, congratulations and thank you.
So grateful for your support! It means so much this takes you back. It does for us too. Which is why we’re doing it!
Super cool I can't wait to see the Castle Greyskull that will be massive
I can't wait to hear more about this! Seeing trap jaw, stinkor and the slime pit etc. is so amazing! Greyskull is going to be massive!
I hope you get your license as I would love to own some of these in the future for sure!
Stay tuned! We’ve got all the castles and some other fun things coming your way
Toy Federation sent me. Best of luck on your journey with this project. I found the story about the Fisto from your father to be very touching. Looking forward to future updates. My unsolicited advice: Don't let people chirp and try to dictate the pace and priorities. Whatever you show up with in November will be terrific and a great accomplishment. Just keep trusting your gut.
Really appreciate your kind words and support! We're working hard to get everything accomplished by November
He actually did it. The madman actually did it!!!!
Congrats i was very sceptical but you guys proved me very wrong. Looking forward to what comes in the future!
Hope you can come see us at Retro Toy Con in November!
I dont actively collect anymore but i have a big collection, and you hit thr nail on the head. Its nostalgic and memories
It’s really been the joy of this process, reliving all the memories from childhood
HAAAA ! There the Slime Pit ! you did it ! Good show Matthew!
Pixel Dan s video sent me here!❤
I feel like I have a similar story in my life. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see the future of all your art. Thank you. Take care.
Really appreciate you. Thank you for watching. We’ve got more to come!
Toy federation sent me here keep up the great work and the vision all the best
Thanks so much! Glad you’re here!
Huge respect to you! Cannot wait to see your dream come to fruition.
Thank you! Really appreciate your support. We're working hard to make it happen
Pixel Dan brought me here!
Same here!
I saw your update on Toyfederation. This is an incredible undertaking with meticulous attention to detail and design.
thank you so much! Truely appreciate you checking our channel out after watching on Toy Fed. It's so great to be a part of the Toy Fed community.
Came here from Toy Federation...I love what yall are doing and man, video moved me actually. I see a bright future for True Legacy
I mean, it's not Turtles, but this is pretty extraordinary! Can't wait to see what you guys do! Here from Toy Fed!
But it the TMNT artwork as epic as MOTU?? 😅
I wonder if we’re all 240% bigger from when we were kids looking at the originals? I think the size does make one stop to appreciate the designs more. Awesome to see you bringing your vision to life and sharing the love of the art of the series with others. Plus like you said in the video it will no doubt make old fans go out onto the floor of the con and get their favorite. So you’ll be helping the vendors a lot too.
Love the idea that we were 240% smaller when we played with the originals! Probably accurate. Such a cool perspective!
Wow so impressed by these!! Stunning.
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching
@@TrueLegacyDesign All good bro keep on!!
That's so cool...keep going! Best regards from germany. I would visit USA just to see this live. Thanks PixelDan that he has showed this on his channel.
I was thinking, if they brought this to Grayskull Con in the future I'd actually go there for once. But it would be kinda insane to pull of, what with all the customs hassles and the habit of airlines destroying precious stuff they're supposed to protect on the daily.
I still have all my originals. One of my favorites is Saurod from the film. He still sparks!
wow! I just saw you guys on Pixel Dan's channel! Amazing work!
I love this project! Kudos to Matt and team! We'd love to have you on Toy Frenzy to talk about this and help spread the word!
This is awesome! Please reach out to Matt directly via our website: www.truelegacydesign.com/contact
Super cool figures! These are going to be awesome.
THey are amazing!
That’s the goal!
All started with you!
@@TrueLegacyDesign Glad we could be a small part in your history!
A part of every collector’s history
Toy Federation!!! Love you guys for taking on this project! I wish I could buy the characters in that scale.
So glad you checked us out! Hopefully people will be able to own these centerpieces one day. Just not quite yet
Wonderfull. A real work of art. A true work of heart. Thank you guys!
Very cool dude ! Art is life! Licensing will be interesting
Awesome stuff.Good luck to you.
thank you! really appreciate the support
Truly amazing work! Can’t wait to see it completely done! Hopefully in person one day! 👍🏼
Thank you! We really appreciate it. We’ll be in the VIP Room at Retro Toy Con. You going to be there?
Super inspiring! Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you! We’ve got more coming
Much love from San Diego California
Thank you!
@@TrueLegacyDesign your awesome
This work is amazing. It’s perfect and seeing how humble and great you are adds to it. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see more.
👍 awesome. Looking forward to seeing them on display .
Do you have your Retro VIP tickets?
@@TrueLegacyDesign I wish. I’m in Alaska BUT hoping you post some videos from it 😀
@@estereddie That's the plan! Thank you for watching from AK
Teenage mutant ninja turtle tube behind the camera again, pretty confident of this.
This is awesome. when i saw the video of him first buying these i thought, he might do this.then the follow up, wow, he’s actually moving forward. now this…wow.
Really cool to see the process. Thanks for sharing.
Next project: Thundercats!
Amazing !!!
Awesome! Just awesome!
Now when we look at this work, we bring our experience to it; the experience redefines the innocence; knowledge of art marries knowledge of life and our rediscovery of that which we initially had fallen in love with: toy art as our first brush with ART, as a gateway to the way design, and now a look in a figure's eye can appear more specific; you are handing back to people that initial brush with the infinite. "This stuff spoke to us." It IS powerful. These totems trace the loss of innocence, and once that innocence is gone, an elegance has gone missing, so there is power in recapturing those emotions in a deep way.
This is truly special!
Thank you! It’s special to us as well
@@TrueLegacyDesign I saw that first video and I couldn't believe this is what came of that..Put the museum(s) at Toy Fed when they expand! Epic Merger!
@@jasonflores5423 that would be awesome!
So glad I subbed this channel! Here from Toy Fed! Crazy what you guys are doing!
Love it! Super grateful to have the Toy Fed family support
Came here for the toy federation video, The colors and finishes are spot on. I would buy these.
Thank you for checking us out! It’s been so awesome to be embraced by the Tod Fed community
@@TrueLegacyDesign I have had the opportunity to see some of the original oil paintings in person, and they are truly stunning. I love motu because of the art.
@@collegetoycollector that's amazing that you've seen the original MOTU art in person! Where did you get the chance to see that?
@@TrueLegacyDesign I was a toy design intern just this past summer. After graduation I will be a toy designer full time at Mattel. They have several oil paintings hung up on the wall, even some that were never actually used on packaging. They also have a lot of the original animation cells hung up too. It is definitely surreal being such a huge motu fan, and getting to see Mattel’s archive!
@@collegetoycollector well that is super awesome! Wishing you all the success at Mattel.
As a scale modeler I’d like to suggest magnets for pinning arms or accessories could also work for two part torsos
Interesting! Thank you for the tip
amazing !! you got something here, cant wait to see more!
Really appreciate it! Come see us at Retro Toy Con!
Awesome guys! Love it!
Fisto. Makes me giggle everytime.👊🧔
haha
Finally! Someone who gets it! I love what you are doing here!
Those look amazing! I cant wait to see it come together
Keep watching! And hopefully you can see us in person at Retro
Oh my goodness! I’m watching this video and all the videos that you’ve posted so far & I tell you my friend I’m beyond happy. The wonderful labor of love that you’re doing with, what I consider to be THE BEST toy line in the universe, He Man & MOTU, is beyond our wildest dreams. You Sir are a genius. If there’s something that I love more than Motu, it’s giant Motu action figures. You are doing a masterful job with these,enhanced and true to the vintage figures look, action figures. I’m in awe with this. What you told our dear friend and my toy collecting mentor Pixel Dan is a testament of how much of a great person you really are. To me as with many kids from the 1980s that played with the iconic MOTU toy line and collect them, this is a time to rejoice. Pixel Dan and you have made it possible for us collectors to get connected with other like minded fellows and really talk about what it is that we love about the toys and which action figure has a sentimental value for us as well as which one we acquired first, with which action figure we started our collections and so on. Thank you so much for what you’re doing to continue making the Motu toy line as popular as it is today as it was 30 plus years ago. MOTU forever! We still have the power!!☺️👍🏻
I've been waiting for this since i saw the original Toy Federation video, what an awesome job you've done!
Is there any possibility that you will make the stl files available? I would love to print these myself!
Thanks for watching and the support!
I think you and toy federation have something great going for the toy community, definitely keeps me watching. Amazing job guys! Keep it up and I’m always watching and interested.
I think this is such an amazing idea!! Came out much better than I expected! Keep up the good work and you have yourself a new subscriber!
Really appreciate you following along on our journey
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻great work 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😀
I want the Eternia in this scale. 😍
Amazing stuff. This is a real passion project and it's fantastic to see this behind-the-scenes look! Really great to see how this awesome display is being created. I can't wait to check out the final scene, it will be more than epic! Congratulations on realising this concept and good luck with the final stages of production. Very very cool indeed. 👍🐵
Thank you so much. Really appreciate you watching this process. Hope you can make it to Retro to see it in person!
@@TrueLegacyDesign unfortunately I'm in the UK so I won't be able to see it in person, but am very much looking forward to seeing it on your channel or other people's channels! I've hit the bell for your channel so I can keep up to date with the progress. Congratulations again, you're doing the Lord's work there sir. 👍🙏🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys So cool you're tuning in from the UK. We truly appreciate it! We've got more episodes coming for you to watch the process.
@@TrueLegacyDesign I will certainly be watching and following the developments. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
Sounds great!
Feel free to ignore this if its a dumb question... Why 240%?
Love your work can't wait to see the final displays!
Not a dumb question at all. 240 just seamed right. What size would you have gone with?
@@TrueLegacyDesign probably just rounded it up to 250% lol!
@@paxo666 haha
I would love to see the final finished product as well as the steps along the way!
Creature Features feed recommended this for me.
Wow! This is simply amazing! Heman and the Masters of the universe is my favorite toyline, growing up in the 80s. And seeing the original vintage figures getting blown up in size is mindblowing! And hey, I really do hope you could work out some deal with Mattel to grant you some sort of permit or licensing to produce these guys in this giant scale that you're doing now so that people could actually buy it from you.
Found this channel via Toy Federation. Subscribed!
Super Awesome, I thought I was watching a TF episode for a minute, If I could have a giant MOTU figure I think Id have Terror Claws Skeletor.
Toy federation brought me here
So glad you're here!
This is really amazing what you are doing here i really hope you get the licence to sell this stuff. You had a vision with a big passion and you went with it best of luck buddy. If you don't get the licence for masters of the universe im sure there will be others that will want this dream with you
Shanieology would love to get a few of these :D
would you do anything with transformers
Focusing on MOTU for now, but the future is always open
maybe you should make a mold of the 3d printed finished copies and cast it in resin. i feel like it would be faster.
Seconded! They could make 2-part silicone molds of each part and then cast them with a liquid plastic resin. More durability and a wider variety of colors if you dye it
I hope you have an good air filtration system if you paint/sand/3D print in such a cramped garage...
If it gets too bad we just open the garage door 😂
the guys from the Four Horsemen Studio did the and had the best He-man (masters and evil warriors) sculpts.
No they didnt.
So you guys have the Mattel license for MOTU?-
No. We do not have a license...yet. Which is why these are centerpieces for display only
@@TrueLegacyDesign you could do what other folks are doing and sell the STL's to raise funds to continue. I bought some STL's of Transformer statues that I could print on my resin printer. Obviously we cannot sell them, but I can print them for my son's room. I am looking to get an Anycubic M3 Max. Huge 13.6" build plate and auto-refilling resin tray. I just have a photon now.
Ramen toy vibes, you could call the toyline 'Bosses of the Galaxy'. If they are licensed its cool, otherwise it doesnt sit well with me, everyone needs to pay the piper.
I would love a trap jaw and battle damage He-Man.
I hope you remake small soldiers
What kind of dust masks are being used? I would be sweating my ass off just from lighting. Good luck!
Thankfully we don’t have too much dust in the shop. We get the 3D prints from our printer and do some fine tuning on the sanding. You’ll get to see that process next week!
There has to be more flexible materials that will make them less fragile.
These are just prototypes
Are any of these gonna be made for sale or just for you
Yes, they are called Mattel jumbo figures
awesome project. what are the black peg connectors called that you used to attach fisto's arm on please? thank you
The black peg connectors are something that we 3D printed as well for the Fisto figure (5:15-5:30 of video). Please reach out to us via our website if you have other specific questions: www.truelegacydesign.com/contact
@@TrueLegacyDesign awesome work. thanks for the reply!!! love this video series
Would be cool if you guys get a license. I can think of at least three figures I would want to buy. It would be even cooler if they also came with a comic.
I was into the original Star Wars figures, Planet of the Apes figures, the Six Million Dollar Man, the Evel Knievel stunt cycle, Stretch Armstrong, and a few others. The Masters of the Universe came out when I was a little older and wasn't really playing with toys anymore. By then it was BMX bikes and then girls. When MOTU came out all of the Star Wars and GI Joe figures bulked up as well, which most people didn't like. Which is why "The Power of the Force" figure are mocked and have low value these days. It was also when action stars in movies (like Sly and Arnold) were all bulked up.
Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in Hercules in New York 1970, Sylvester Stallone starred in Rocky 1976. Those were their first starring rolls in Action 🎥 🎥.
@@brotherkellymatthewbarnes8882 Your point?
I only ever personally owned He-Man, Battle-Cat, and Skeletor
What filament are you using? If you want to Resin prints some bits like the joints and such, I'd be happy to help with that.
Awesome! Thank you. We’ll definitely keep that in mind
@@TrueLegacyDesign I PM'd you on Facebook if you'd like to discuss it.
We will check that out! Busy day around here!
I've seen people who print action figures have success with magnets on the appendages.
Thatd be a great idea
True art!
Thank you!
So what was the figure you kept in your pocket???
Pocket man remember that movie?
Ok i NEED these. Hook me up a huge webstor bro!
Why not go back to the original blueprints and build up from there, i'm sure the original hasbro line has the original concept guidlines from where they built the original toy line from, it would add street cred bare minimum
Can you 3D print the GI Joe aircraft carrier?
That was, what, like 6' originally? The scale-up would have a colossus of a thing that was like 10 freakin feet long!
It is possible yes
Omg are you the guy are that selling these on ebay?
Watching this made me regret selling my vintage. Whatever money I got out of it I'll never be able to buy even half of what I had :(
I have a slight suspicion that's the story of most of us. ;)
Any guesses as to the toy he kept in is pocket? Im guessing Batman.
We posted a video on it

Who is "we"? Dude you're drinking your own bath water while you're infringing on copyrights
Woah, calm down honey.
Are you 100% sure they infringed copyright or did you maybe get a bit moody before you watched the whole video?
