Fly Away with Stratos
He-Man.org has pictures of the new Masters of the Universe Classic Stratos figure and it looks like the original Stratos figure only cooler. There’s also pics of Mer-Man with his two variable heads! These new figures look great and I’m especially liking the new Skeletor. (He was one of my favorite characters, next to Webstor.) It’s too bad that these new figures won’t be out for a few months though, but I’m patient.
The Stratos character in the cartoon was one of the cooler characters in the show. I think he was like one of the only guys that could fly on his own. Since he appeared regularly alongside Ram-Man, I imagine being able to fly away from any unwanted, ramming would be useful. (Ram-Man always creeped me out a bit.)

you know. I LOVED He Man growing up. Skeletor was my fav of the bad guys and for the good guys, I think my 7 year old brain was stuck on Orko (sad to say). I still have my old He Man stuff in the attic along w/Castle Grayskull and the figures. I forgot how cool the figures were (including the battle armor series) until I saw this page (from the 02 releases:

I had a Roboto figure growing up. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Interchangeable axe/fist hand. And mouth-like motion when you spun him around. It was cool to see the gears inside his clear body spinning around.
I also checked out He-Man.org to see if they had some 2-headed dragon w/ a spiked tail. Didn’t see a pic of it there, but I think it’s from He-Man. Any ideas?

Zach: Thanks for the link!
Misterbot0: It wasn’t Two-Bad or Modulok, but perhaps a character from the Evil Horde.

ok…weird. My (and I think everyone elses) grandparents had a bad habit of getting us generic action figures (opposed to the real deal).
Well one of the action figures was a two-headed dragon figure with a red head and a green head and removable silver armor. And he came with an axe.
