I never watched when it was on, but I catch re-runs on ION sometimes. Becker wasn't that bad. I never watched when it was on, but I catch re-runs on ION sometimes.

Ram Man will be excellent with some articulation, lets just hope he is a decent size like he should be. They can also reuse the Buzz mold for Whiplash and Clawful.

No not really, gave it a watch once or twice cos it had Ted Danson in it and I was a fan of Cheers, but thought it was rubbish so never bothered with it. The reason I remembered that guy though was he was also in The Flash tv series. "PrfktTear: you watched becker?"

If you believe the back of the box, here are the originals: <strike>He-Man</strike> <i>Teela</i> <i>Man-At-Arms</i> <strike>Stratos</strike> Man-E-Faces Ram Man <strike>Skeletor</strike> <strike>Beast Man</strike> <i>Mer-Man</i> <strike>Faker</strike> <i>Tri-Klops</i> Trap Jaw I've striked the ones that have already been released, and in italics the ones we know are coming. As for the rest, I'm not sure about Man-E or Ram-Man since they're "special molds" I think we can definitely count on a Moss Man, Evil-Lyn, Green Goddess (Maybe an exclusive), and Prince Adam. If they do either Buzz-Off or Whiplash, I think we can assume we'll be getting both. I'm sure Sorceress will come along since they've got the female body, plus they can always use DCUC Hawkgirl's wings... Okay, I guess thats enough speculation for now! ;-) @Elvis: you watched becker?

If you believe the back of the box, here are the originals:

He-Man

Teela

Man-At-Arms

Stratos

Man-E-Faces

Ram Man

Skeletor

Beast Man

Mer-Man

Faker

Tri-Klops

Trap Jaw

I would be nice to get better characters, but they said they were doing the original first figures first then the others. Its cool they are doing that but Stratoss, Zodak etc...so many cooler heroes the could have made, Man-At-Arms, Syklone, Mechaneck, Manefaces, Fisto, Mosman etc. Well its nice too have vilians….unlike 2002 line which was almost a 2/1 ratio for heroes to villains.

I don't think you could really ask for anything more than Poe does in his review (i.e. swivelling wings, the staff accessory - though I'm willing to forgive the lack of the latter to an exceptional degree). But I don't want the guy, and I admit to wishing that Stratos was pushed back a little so we could get Hordak sooner (which I want so my King Grayskull has someone to beat on). But I guess they do need to add some good guys so He-Man's not fighting a handicap match on our toy shelves, eh? Because Stratos is only the second good guy in the line proper released, after all, and the next two (Faker and Mer-Man) are bad guys. Pretty good hero to villain ratio for a toyline, right?

As for the background, for a long time I used a homemade light tent made from cardboard, tissue paper, and posterboard, but a few months ago my wife got me a real light tent for my birthday. I don't know the brand offhand, but it's fairly standard. It came with a tripod and a pair of small halogen lights. @Matthew K: I use a Fujifilm FinePix S5700 on the macro settings.
