He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe
- Thread starter Maruten
- Start date
I never thought about that before, but that is a good point.
I kinda viewed it as metaphor for how she tended to directly deal with things. In which case she would have room to grow as a person and as a hero...
But then she wouldn't be ram ma'am anymore...

She was all 'don't leave me, I mean, us' near the start, haha
There was no one else with ramming ability in any of the series.
So did Harvey Dent.
As opposed to tinkering with technology and machines that we don't understand (Man at Arms), using "occult" magic (Teela), or using physical violence against others (He-Man/everyone)?
Ram-Ma'am is more "Sonic spin dash" than "Juggernaut" to be honest.
And quite frankly: the power is just underlinning her fundamental motion sickness problem.
Like I said, I'm only two episodes in, and I'm quoting her exact words. If it was in a powered-up state, I wouldn't mind, but this is before she gets any of that, and I don't like the idea of kids seeing this and becoming the next Chris Benoit, to be quite blunt about it.
I went out hunting and managed to find Duncan, He-Man and Skeletor from the basic figures of the new CGI show, no sign of Trapjaw (I THINK he's supposed to be in wave one??) Still looking for the Snake Throne playset.
Did see the Motorcycles, but I have no interest in those since they're just worse repaints of the basic figures with an included vehicle.
My Skeletor's hips are WAY too loose, but the limited articulation means he can still at least stand well enough to display. Same level of articulation (roughly) as the original MOTU figures, shoulders, hips, head. They also have wrist swivel and so far have each had a snap action waist gimmick to strike with their weapons.
For $10 bucks a pop I actually really like these and plan on collecting them, at least to get the whole cast.

I hope they become more widely available online soon since they'll probably never come here.
But maybe I won't buy them from Amazon. Every day I see MOTU fans moaning about the way Amazon ships stuff and how beat up the cards are. I've never had a problem, but today my New Heads, Full Swords He-Man and Skeletor arrived. Skeletor looked like this.
The dude and his various good are fine, but the bubble was entirely separated from the card and everything was floating around loose. I was pretty shocked that Amazon would just go "yeah, this is normal".

I haven't seen the toys yet. I will have to keep an eye out.
I believe the things I mentioned all occurred in the first episode?
I did drop them a line to say "uh...?" but I haven't had a response yet.
My bad, then. I didn't remember the spin dash thing, and that just sounds like a powers move.
So we are taking our time, and we just got finished with episode 8. My girls really like this show, and I am really digging this series. I am looking forward to the two part finale.
Oh it's a blast, you'll love it.
Graphic Novel for the new kid aimed show. Original story, by the shows creators, set between episodes and officially canon if that matters to you:
-ZacWilliam, Origins Eternian Godess arrived this morning. Makes me wish I had Teela or non-yellow Evil-lyn to swap the heads and see how that looks as the original Sorceress concept.
