How She-Ra Rocked the 1980s Toy Industry
She-Ra: Princess of Power wasn't just a He-Man spinoff, but a standalone character with her own persona, legacy, and mythology. She was a bold experiment by Mattel and Filmation to crack into multiple toy markets at the same time, while also growing the He-Man brand. From breaking the "Smurfette principle" to its unique introduction, She-Ra quickly became a defining 1980s brand. Today, we look back at the creation, launch, and success of what ended up being a relatively short-lived toy and 1980s cartoon that still managed to make a huge dent in 1980s pop culture. 50% off your first month on Patreon.com/80s: codeword: MARTY Give the gift of the 1980s: Patreon.com/80s/gift
