Sorta. I'm an older millennial. A lot of the He-Man, Transformers, and GI Joe toys had already been out for a number of years by the time that I was actually old enough to really play with them as a kid, and they could be found in yard/garage sales or flea markets. The episodes were either on reruns or you would watch some of these episodes by renting them from Blockbuster. But in terms of new episodes and new toys coming out fresh? Not so much.Wrong age
Older millennials and young Xers were kids during the HeMan through Transformers era.
With Transformers, it was mostly the tail end and decline that I experienced: e.g., Micromasters, Powermasters, and Action Masters. Likewise, Generation 2 Transformers was a failed attempt to revitalize the series. It was not really until Beast Wars in the mid-90s that Transformers swung back up in popularity. He-Man really was already dead by this point, and the New Adventures of He-Man was an absolute forgettable dud.
