RE: How Many MOTU/POP Fans are Girls?

As a boy in the early 80s MOTU was definitely something girls were into as far as our class in primary school went. I suppose there weren't as many female characters as in Thundercats and it could be ...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

No particular offence taken or intended. Civilised societies will hopefully keep instructional stories that have aged well, there are still lots of those. Plus if you go back to apocrypha such as the ...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

Well, there's the stuff about in what circumstances it's okay to kill kids and abuse women that tends to get glossed over -- for example. But there's some general differences in psychology. Appeals t...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

Took me a while to work out you meant the Entertainer. Been a while since those news stories and they stock magic-based stuff like MOTU and alien war robot stuff like TFs, apart from Smyths being more...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

It's interesting (and quite cool and reassuring, in a people-don't-really-change way) how the same observations crop up in most of recorded history, down to the Romans and Greeks saying things about k...

Mmm. I suppose that's the price of appropriating other religions' winter festivals and everyone else's need to do something to cheer themselves up when it's cold and dark, Coca-Cola and Hallmark will ...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

True, they did get a lot of publicity that couldn't have been bought, and I'm guessing (can't recall if it's come up in the many documentaries) that MOTU leaning into monster characters had an element...

RE: MOTU Satanic Panic in the 1980s

Satanic Panic* was more heavily connected with D&D, but part of the deal with deregulation of advertising to kids that Reagan spearheaded was shows having some educational content, and the PSAs ti...

RE: Masters of Madosaverse

Both awesome, and the Faker integrates those recognisable T parts really well. On the Hiss would suggest maybe there's still chance to add some pattern detail to the upper legs?

RE: Jon Likes Toys Custom Creations

Fantastic stuff. Clean, bright colours and all fits pretty well with the official figures. I think the only choices that seem a little out of scale are Classics accessories that aren't heads, such as ...

RE: Does SATPOP fans exist in their own community?

Gamesmaster (Flint Dille's autobiography) is worth a leaf through for anyone interested in the conditions 80s shows were created in, ditto The He-Man Effect (which isn't particularly to do with He-Man...

RE: Why did He-Man.org only give a 1 week notice?

In this case the options would have been upgrading vBulletin (financial cost + time cost) or converting the vBulletin install to something else, probably most practically phpBB and with the additional...

Plus probably a few hundred gigabytes of attachments, but yeah with a suitable hosting arrangement storage/bandwidth shouldn't have been that. But at some point in the past hosting really was that exp...

RE: Will She-Ra and He-Man fade away

Mmm. There are big gaps in my knowledge, but swords/sorcery/science were huge in the post-WW1 period with escapism being on everyone's minds -- including things like school stories that played on idea...

RE: Will She-Ra and He-Man fade away

People are still reading authors such as Frank Richards (Charles Hamilton) and Kenneth Robeson (Lester Dent) who wrote very different kinds of pulp fiction circa the 1930s and have had enough revivals...

RE: Why did He-Man.org only give a 1 week notice?

I'm going to guess it's down to server software dependencies, with a specific guess of PHP. vBulletin 4.2.5 doesn't run on PHP 7.2 or later. The site is probably running 7.0 or 7.1 at the moment. 5.6 ...
