Likely Date

The display gives a month (October 1–27, 3–7 PM), but not a year. However, several clues point to a specific timeframe:

? He-Man popularity peak in Brazil: 1984–1987

• Brazil was a huge market for He-Man.

• Estrela (Mattel’s Brazilian licensee) ran many mall shows and displays.

? Artwork style matches Estrela/Mattel Brazil 1985–1986 promo art

The thick black-line comic style is almost identical to artwork on:

• Estrela MOTU cardbacks (1985–86)

• Brazilian He-Man magazines

• Posters used for traveling mall exhibitions

? Rio Sul mall opened in 1980 and ran MOTU promotions mid-80s

He-Man was one of the most heavily promoted toy brands in Rio Sul.

?? Most likely year of this event: 1985 or 1986
