Mildly off topic but does anyone know where I can see the Return of Faker episode that was made by Busta?

Add me to the list please if anybody knows. I split this off to its own topic. The whole episode was on YouTube a few years back and I knew I should have downloaded right then and there but next time I checked it was gone. {skeletor}:sad:

You will have to wait until the Kickstarter documentary is released.

I thought that was dead months/years ago...

My understanding was that legal reasons prevented the release and that nothing had changed. Was the kickstarter the workaround?

As I understood it, the ban was on releasing the episode as an episode. And the workaround was that they were allowed to release a documentary on the process they took to create it instead,  which more or less will have the episode albeit broken up into chunks and showing the process and interviews interspersed with it. 

"If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting."

Pretty much. I worked in a small way with this fan animation by James and Dusan. It's a terrific 30+ minute "new" episode. {he-man}:smile:  

It was featured at Power-Con as I recall, and it will be a part of the "Faking Filmation" Documentary. Backers for the documentary caught a glimpse of it last year (or 2021) around Christmas or so, and I think someone after it leaked it briefly. 

 

But the point is to feature it in the documentary as an exercise of how animation is created. Documentary features a ton of interviews with animation professionals.

Cool! Will it have the entire episode just in segments?

@he-dad The episode will come as special feature with the documentary. I was one of the backers and they sent us what the current version of the episode was like as a watch along (it's pretty great) but we can't share it, otherwise I would.

Thanks for the info bro. That's probably how it got on youtube for a short bit. One of the backers posted it.

Ahhh, terrific info guys! Thank you. I was wondering what had happened. Glad it's getting out there, and honestly, this documentary sounds like a better version of it than just leaving it as an episode because this way people will have context on it.

There is supposed to some more edits to it including people like myself who paid an extra hundred bucks to be a background character.  I kind of regretted paying that much afterwards since I'm sure it will be quick. Hopefully, it isn't too Where's Waldo-ish.  Also, I have also yet to be contacted by them for my likeness.  You'd think we'd be contacted by now with the documentary supposedly very close to done.  I have reached out a couple times about it.

I have the full 2021 version to stream.  Backers were given access to it.  It basically split up in two parts with talk before, in the middle, and afterwards.   They also have a border around it through out.  I think someone put it on YouTube for a short bit which really made them mad.

It is also part of the "The Eternia Collection" blu-ray box as a easter egg on the last disk: https://www.ofdb.de/fassung/5747,484898,He-Man-and-the-Masters-of-the-Universe/

While it was an Germany exclusive release all episodes also have the original voice.

Oh shoot really bro? I didn't know that! Busta worked on that blu set. He must have snuck that illegal episode in there!

A background character? Wowie! Even if it's quick that's gonna be cool. You not being contacted yet is concerning though. I would message James directly to make sure you're not forgotten

@he-dad 😆 No idea how it got there; but I do assume it was completely legal but through sneaky word-fencing when securing the rights. I'm just glad it is.

That freaking box... Its a big, massive love-letter to MotU in general and Filmation specifically. I really hope it gets a restock for all those who missed out.

I can deal with the menus being in German. My problemo was they wouldn't ship it to the US.

I never knew the episode was hidden in there as an Easter Egg. I just finished watching it. Its really amazing what they managed to achieve. 

The Eternia Collection is a really amazing set!

Now I'm really bummed I missed out bro. I had no freakin clue that episode was included.

So what is the popular collectible marketplace in Germany? Does anybody know? Do they use ebay too?

I reached out to the company who said "sold out".

 

🙁

 

I also didn't know it was an easter egg.

I found only one for sale on ebay:

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/285535623624?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=5282-175127-2357-0&ssspo=-0i9gyagsky&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=veZnHuWbTpy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Very pricey!

Maybe if everyone who missed out bombarded Plaion who made it with requests they might see dollar signs and do another run.
