I see too many armored Sith Lords at cons but Zorro with a lightsaber? Now, that would be cool
No such thing as "too many Sith". I'm open to suggestions
Well, the first three are all of substantial body mass (beed caaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkeeee), so start there. I'm seeing something akin to Thor in gladiator armor and mashing elements of He-man and the Sith into it. The saber will be the real trick. I know Ripper Blades makes a Power Sword blade, but I was also seeing a hammer head with an opening for a standard blade to "emit" through. Possibly an acrylic hammer head, so that it could illuminate, but that might be a stretch. And then mashing elements to bring out He-man's shield. Maybe Thor's gladiator shield, with the round section replaced with He-man's shield, done in Sith colors. |

He-Man/Thor shouldn't be hard...adding the Sith into it is where it gets interesting. Hmm.... Perhaps a Power Sword with Sith Runes up the blade (Like the Dark Side Blades of Old) and a barbarian looking Lightsaber. Of course it might evolve into a Barbarian Sith  |

Of course it might evolve into a Barbarian Sith I had a rather interesting argument with a vendor at Grand Rapids. She argued that her barbarian rage was more than a match for my dark side powers. It was adorable.  |

What she failed to realize is that Dark Side adepts are not unfamiliar to rage. So her rage grants her increased strength, where as my rage grants me increased power. But back to the barbarian.....you think you can rock the furry loin cloth?  |

Yes.... fun fact: The only reason they aren't loin cloths is that it would have been expensive to sculpt them or have cloth on the figures. |

So it boiled down to furry diapers were cheaper to manufacture. Lame |

and later to animate. The cartoon was ridiculously underfunded...which is why Adam and He-Man were the same character model. Of course the Original story from the mini comics there was no Adam. |

You're not kidding there, Tepes. Recycled character models, animation cells, long scenes where characters do nothing but talk, and I mean that NOTHING moved but their lips...yeah, even as a kid I knew that at least certain things for the cartoon were done on the cheap. Ah, memories... So it boiled down to furry diapers were cheaper to manufacture. Lame
...And yet almost every figure had 'roided out musculature that Arnold would be envious about. Go figure  |

I had a pretty good collection of those comics, but I remember Adam being in them. Not a lot, but he was there. |
