We have some sad news to report. We were notified about 7 hours ago that Roger Sweet died this morning on Masters of the Universe Day, at the age of 91. Roger Sweet was one of the legendary creators behind the vintage “Masters of the Universe” brand. Roger Sweet Most notable for coming up with the name “He-Man” among many other great contributions, Roger Sweet's health recently took a turn for the worse earlier in the year, so much so that his wife Marlene Sweet started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Roger's medical bills. Marlene and Roger Sweet The outreach and support…

Well I'm the first one to post in this forum, so I'm just gonna say this

 

I've only been in the fandom for a year compared to probably two or three decades like a lot of you. I have come to know lots and lots about this franchise and have collected countless figures in only more than a year, but I'm not what I would call an Ultra fan yet who knows at least 90% of the important things. Giving myself a few more years.
 
Nonetheless when Mattel wanted to rival their biggest mistake, Kenner Star Wars aka saying no to the toy rights to some stupid space movie a guy named George was making in 1976 and their new toyline needed a name for the main character, sometimes a very simple yet unique name is all a hero protagonist needs.

Paying my respects
 
Rest in peace Mr. Sweet

One of the architects of our childhoods. 

A dedication is not only a respectful thing to do, but a necessary tribute to one of MOTU's founding fathers.

I agree... both Sweet and Taylor deserve a memorial in the film.

 

Good Journey, Roger.

I am so sad to hear of the recent passing of Roger Sweet (the creator of Masters Of The Universe and by extension Princess Of Power, New Adventures Of He-Man and later parts of the franchise). It is these wonderful creations that not only inspired my love for fantasy and science fiction but also helped shape my lifelong ideology regarding equality and humanity in a world without hateful bigotry and learning to be kind to others. His legacy will not be forgotten, by myself or other fans. Another reason to watch the new movie in June, to keep the magic and lessons learned in my heart forever.🥹😍

Roger, you were one of the greats. I'm sorry that you had to spend your later years fighting for credit. You didn't deserve that. Rest in peace.

R.I.P. I meet Roger at a Power-Con. He was very nice. I thought the same of Mark Taylor when I met him. I always thought it was a shame that they had a feud. They both deserve credit for being the fathers of MOTU. I agree with dedicating the movie to them.
