What’s the connection?” Well, at Redmond Swimming LLC, we believe in passion, dedication, and bringing joy – whether it's perfecting your stroke or rediscovering the heroes of your childhood. We’re a small but mighty team, operating from 902 5th ST, Kirkland, WA, 98033-5634, and you can reach us at 330-766-5971 if you have any questions. We've always been collectors ourselves, and recently, we decided to share our love for vintage and modern Motu (Masters of the Universe) collectibles with fellow fans. What are Motu Collectibles? For those who grew up in the 80s (and those who’ve discovered the magic since!), Motu – Masters of the Universe – was the action figure line. Think He-Man, Skeletor, Man-At-Arms, Teela… the list goes on. These weren’t just toys; they were characters with amazing backstories, cool accessories, and a whole universe built around them. The original line, launched by Mattel, ran from 1982 to 1988, and has seen numerous revivals and continuations since. Today, "Motu Collectibles" encompasses everything related to that iconic franchise. That means: Vintage Figures: The original 5.5-inch action figures from the 80s. These are highly sought-after, especially those in good condition and with all their original accessories. Finding a mint-condition Battle Ram or a complete Fisto figure is a dream for many collectors. Mini-Figures: The smaller, articulated figures that were also popular, offering a different scale for play and display. Vehicles & Playsets: From Castle Grayskull itself (a must-have for any serious collector!) to Battle Rams, Wind Raiders and all kinds of futuristic transports, the vehicles and playsets really brought the Motu world to life. Newer Re-Issues & Remakes: Mattel and other companies have continued to release new versions of classic figures and vehicles, often with updated sculpting and articulation. The “Masters of the Universe Origins” line is a prime example – bringing back the classic 5.5-inch scale with modern design. Statues & Busts: High-quality, collectible statues and busts are becoming increasingly popular, offering a different way to display your favorite characters. Artwork & Memorabilia: Original packaging, promotional materials, animation cels, and fan-made art all fall under the umbrella of Motu collectibles. Funko Pops: The popular Funko Pop line also has a Motu collection, bringing the characters in a cute and collectible form. Why Collect Motu? There’s a lot to love about collecting Motu! Nostalgia: For many of us, it's a chance to reconnect with our childhood. Those figures weren't just toys; they were a huge part of our imagination and play. Art & Design: The original Motu figures were surprisingly well-designed. The Four Horsemen (the design team behind the original line and many of the modern revivals) were incredibly talented, and their work continues to influence toy design today. Community: The Motu collecting community is incredibly active and passionate. There are forums, social media groups, conventions, and local meetups where collectors can share their finds, trade figures, and discuss all things Motu. Investment Potential: While collecting should primarily be about enjoyment, some Motu collectibles can increase in value over time, especially rare and sought-after items. Display and Creativity: The figures are great for display and sparking creativity. Many collectors create custom dioramas, photo shoots and stop motion videos with their Motu collection.
