far more intriguing to me are the comic and mini comic characters of a similar bend, demons, wizards, background characters that he-man had to stomp or ally with for a short story... case in point was procrustus. i still think that character is one of the most intriguing ideas introduced into the mythos... and then motuc released a sub-par giant figure of him, which i don't own and don't intend to own. it's a damned shame, cuz four, five years ago, i honestly thought i'd never get offered the character, but that i'd jump through a flaming hoop for a shot at one... and then we got than unarticulated lump of rotocast chicanery and my heart sank.
so herein lies my dilemma... i like a savage he-man, and to be honest, i don't think motuc is the line to provide that. motuc doesn't have the personality, which is why when you see a third partier or a caster offering kits that savage up the barbarian, half of them look out of place. for example, the recent huk kit from zombihamma, looks GREAT, i would love to own that set, but let's get honest for a moment here, it wouldn't look fully like it belonged on the same shelf as king he-man, stand-or, and vikor. so like, for example, the mask of power demons... i don't trust that motuc would give them to us in what i would consider an acceptable form. i think they'd be grafted onto the gy-gor body, which i personally don't have much respect for. i feel like i paid an articulated figure price for a vinyl funko POP! figure. so there's that. i'd love more savage elements from motu, but i want them in a new line that isn't motuc.
separate but related thoughts, that veebee dude kind of raises my hackles. sometimes, he seems very reasonable and well thought out, sometimes he seems very sycophantic and apologetic. i don't broker that. so like, he writes this piece, which in theory, is on a subject matter i'd appreciate. but then he gushes on filmation, which is just not my cup of tea. that's fine, i know some people like that filmation stuff, that's great for them. my issues lies in him using the two as if they were complimentary concepts, and i don't think they are. the savage barbarian era of he-man is clearly, at BEST, a pg-13 concept, but filmation is all ages, all the time. the look, the design, it's just aimed at a simpler, kinder, gentler motu. i'm curious to see if you agree with me or not, and what your reasons are for that position beedo.
