He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

The weird thing is, though I don't own one and know little about the character, Two-Bad looks like the sort of thing that you could get a MasterVerse figure, put it with Origins, and have it look appropriately oversized and monstrous two-headed-ogre style.

I don't recall him being in a lot of the media. Mostly have such a fondness for him because I remember owning the toy and playing with it on a very hot day while my father was playing golf. It's a small memory, but one that's always stuck with me. So...I just really like Two-Bad.

Kinda like I remember the first time I was ever in Sam's Club. They didn't have much of a toy section, but they did have the Evil Horde Stoorm Trooper. I carried that thing all around the place while my parents were looking for boring stuff. That memory is why I always liked the Horde Trooper toy.

Yeah, I think the wild character designs & toy action features in the original MOTU line lead to a lot of fans having favourite characters that never got into the show much. That's how I ended up loving Stinkor & Snout Spout so much.

Tbh, most new toy-characters brought in during the course of the Filmation run were little more than cameos, or had one focus episode at best. It was 200x that put in the effort to try and make them into somebodies.

I just looked to see if they ever released it physically. To my surprise, they did. Amazon has the complete series for $11. I'll probably get it on payday. But I only just now realized...only 26 episodes over 3 seasons? Dang, Netflix has some short ass seasons!

On some level this looks like my 40+ year old head canon, where I had Roboto as a Greyskull guardian maintaining all that tech in my toy of the castle (because it didn't make any sense on my head as a kid that a sorceress would be keeping it all working). In my setup now I have the two Roboto colors for that inside it and the two Skeleton Warriors flanking the jawbridge on the outside, for magical defense. I figure they work for the castle, not the occupiers at the time, so they'll work with Skeletor just as often as He-man because they aren't actually alive or have any moral compass, they're just task oriented.

Can you tell I paid more attention to the early mini-comics when I was little than the show...?

That's pretty awesome, though I'm mixed on the look. Far prefer the upper-right, though I'd be fine without the individual eyes.

Wait, that axe that came with the original Roboto is actually a circular saw?!?

I think it's always been depicted as an axe, but I'll admit I've looked at it and thought it would be neat if the blades spun, due to their shape.

I always used the gun attachment on my Roboto cuz the axe and claw hand were too small looking. If that circular saw in the pic was that big in the original toy, I would have used that more.
