More from alexreynard
Stinkor has to be the single greatest marketing coup in all of toy history. I can just imagine the pitch: "Hey! instead of coming up with an entirely new character, let's just recolor an existing toy, give him the armor from another figure, and the gimmick is... He smells bad!!! Kids'll *love* it!!!" And obviously it worked, since I swear Stinkor's one of the most common He-Man figures I ever see at flea markets and whatnot. Amazingly enough, most of them actually still stink twenty years later! That's some fine craftsmanship. (In case you have NO idea what I'm talking about: Clicky here plz)
Yeah, I was into He-Man back in the day. Don't look at me like that! You were too and you know it! If you were a kid in the eighties, it was impossible *not* to be into He-Man. Some of the character ideas were cataclysmically retarded (Fisto? FISTO!?) and they all had those disturbingly undersized legs that you could never position correctly, but some of the figures were damn cool. I had the see-through clockwork robot guy, the silver guy with the extendable body parts, one of the ones that transformed into a rock for whatever reason, the one with the pop-up rattlesnake head, the fat armor-headed guy with the springy legs, the blue and yellow guy whose arms spun around, the guy with three eyes AND the guy with three faces. Heck, I even had the Chuck Norris guy covered in guns and the robot in the gimp mask who blows apart. (And if I'd had any idea how rare those suckers are now, I might have actually held on to them.)
So here's my tribute to bizarre toy concepts gone by. Fifi looks quite fetching as a villian, no? I'll bet she could kick the shit out of He-Man's incredibly gay ass and still have time to anal-rape Orko.
Bonus points to anyone who knew that "The Stench Of Evil" was the title of the little comic book that came with Stinkor. (You can even read it here: http://he-man.org/primary_sects/com...../00cover.shtml)
And here's some more pics of Stinkor, just because I like the guy:

Panthor was Skeletor's battle cat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Panthor.jpg (I remember the toy had a velvet feel to it. Almost like a freshly shaved vagina.)
I figure Cringer can be Byron the goo dog in the coward mode and Arnold the Pitbull in Battle Mode.

Ohhhhhhhh! Right, of course. Battlecat with flock sprayed on it. Some article I saw wondered if He-Man ever noticed that he and Skeletor all had exactly the same shit, just colored different. ;)
Byron & Arnold = effing brilliant. Monty'd make a good Skeletor. They both have grating, evil voices.
Dizzy = Grizzlor.

The Obelisk? Hmm, I'll have to track that one down at the archive.
Oh looky! Here it is: http://he-man.org/primary_sects/com...../00cover.shtml
Actually, Transformers pwns them both in either category, but that's just my opinion. ;)

Transformers wins hands down in the comics category, at least if you grew up in Britain like me. But He-Man toys were perfect for playing with - big, durable lumps of brightly coloured plastic that you could bang into each other, whereas with the first range of Transformers at least, transforming them in the middle of a game took half an hour and really slowed things down...
I was a child of the 90s so I had only heard of He-Man through the Cartoon Network remake they did back in early 2000s, but I do love 80s cartoons and other pop culture memorabilia from that time.
Oh and recently, I was watching 100 Greatest Cartoons on Youtube (I have a thing for lists) and He-Man I was on there and the commentators were mocking the names by saying they had some very stupid and homoerotic names like RamMan and Fisto (seriously, they could've some up with better aside from Fisto, sounds like some kinda adult gross-out comedy, superhero porno villian). I was laughing pretty hard at those comments
Anyway, Fifi would make a luverly super-villianess since villianesses always seem more sexy and suductive.

Wolfblade told me he watched through the whole series and is _certain_ the writing staff was crammed with gay guys trying to see just how much they could get away with. Would not surprise me a bit if it were true.
Indeed! Bad girls just seem to have a certain allure, eh? Seen this one from my gallery? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/318871/

Fifi makes for an awesome villain.
I'll have to remember this fact for my superhero RPG.
Heck, I love Fifi so much, why don't I just make everything in the game Fifi? It'd be a league of super-powered Fifis protecting innocent, upstanding Fifis from the evil forces of Fifis everywhere!

Did he have a big snake head? This guy?

And I guess I'm weird, but I actually *liked* how Stinkor smelled!

I actually sort of want to see them now. I was always far more into the toys than the cartoon (I'm not sure I watched it at all), so I have no idea what I'm missing.
It would also explain why 90% of the characters are big, bulging sweaty muscular men, and why Rio Blast has a Chuck Norris mustache.
http://i20.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/bb/9b/b3_1.JPG (Did he ever appear in the show, BTW? I know Stinkor didn't. My god, the wasted comedy opportunities...)

Was it like, you bonk it and it gets progressivly more 'battle damaged'? Both He-Man and Skeletor had figures that did that.

(And I'll be damned; I'm *sure* I had that particular He-Man! I remember his little axe. Probably one of many action figure accessories I chewed into nonexistence like some kind of beaver child.)
The only other one I can think of that did anything close to that was Sy-Klone.

I loved the gall they had with the toys. They weren't even trying, they just kept putting out progessivly lousier toys. Mayby they'd even appear in the cartoon, but only if they were lucky. By then they were on She-Ra and the whole thing had gotten just too silly. Stinkor may not be rock-bottom for the toy line, but he's a good depth marker.
Only years later did I discover the Conan connection. It was like Ed Wood movies.
I'm pretty sure AlexReynard knows about the My Little Pony names/ porn star names. Since the topic is 80's cheese it should be mentioned.
...
I don't talk about He-Man much, if ever.
I like listening to Machinea Supremacy's "Return to Snake Mountain" imagining Conan busting free of the He-Man sword and going on a brutal rampage that leaves few survivors. Kills Prince Adam. Beats up some of the heros who stands in his way. Does the unstoppable Rambo thing on the villians, ending with beheading Skeltor. Goes back to Greyskull with both swords, forcably beds the Scorceress, later opens the portal and walks through, leaving the entire frikking planet at defcon one shreaking panic.
That'll teach them the folly of screwing around with Conan.

Dude, are you kidding? I think the toys got *better* near the end! They might have slacked off in the middle there, but the later figures had Stonedar and Rokkon, Rio Blast, Snakeface, Dragstor, Extendar, Mosquitor and Blast Attak! Those guys had some of the most badass designs and creative, complicated gimmicks of the whole line!
I have heard only briefly of the MLP names/porn stars thing. Elucidate?
All i know of Conan is that he has red hair and a talk show. *being a prick for comedic effect*

There's dozens of MLPs. They have names that my brain refuses to record, but as for names there seems to be some crossover with the same names as 80's porn stars.
There are also dozens of versions of quiz games where you try to guess if the name is of a pony or a porn star.

Wait ... I think I might have picked up some of these action figures for 25 cents at a flee shop. Did the gimp guy have little target thigs all over his face and was tehre a guy who had some weird four sided drill for a hand and a spikey face?
Sorry, I was born in 89, and I'm the oldest of my cousins, so I had nobody to hand down 80's pop culture refernces first hand.

The gimp guy, Blast Attack was a gold robot with a mostly black head and no target things. Is this the other guy? http://i4.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/d7/49/49a8_1.JPG
I feel for you, bro.
I feel for you, bro.
I have some dvds of heman and his sister.Yea i love those cartoons.And i,ll admit i am still a fan of the transformers.Fifi as a bad guy thats something.That nobody would be ready for.But i think she,d go bad if some thing reallybad happened to her.And she would take her anger out on acme loo.Heck she would also take her anger out on her friends.I have read those storyies pretty good.I would like to see more.Come over and xcheck out my gallery.
I was born in '90, but I had nearly every MOTU figure from 1982 to 1984, and my dad just HAD to give them all away
I especially remember a guy called Buzz-Off who was a humanoid bee, and a guy called Clawful who had a lobster's claw for a right hand, which you could open and shut by pulling a lever or something.There was also Castle Grayskull, Mekaneck and a He-Man/Skeletor variation that had some sort of chestplate with fake cracks on it (if you punched them on the chest it spun and had a crack, then it had two cracks, then it went back to normal). I also had a mini-comic (only one, can't remember the name, it was the one where He-Man is a caveman who recieved the Power Sword as a gift and fights Skeletor for the first time) and a Betamax tape with two episodessdubbed into Latin-American Spanish.

I didn't have any tapes, but I had a few comics. I had the ones for Rio Blast for sure; the Chuck Norris lookin' guy with guns coming out of his body parts.
Slay him.

No need for that, he's already agreed to help me go through every online store we can in order to get them all back, so I'll spare his life for now
Actually, I did my research and it looks like I didn't have that many. I'm Venezuelan, and some law back in the 80's prohibited the importing of any toys into the country, so toy companies here had to get licenses from Mattel, Hasbro, etc. to make their own versions of US toylines. The Venezuelan MOTUs were made by a company called Rotoplast, and they only got around to making 25 of them before losing the license. I had 19 of them.
Aside from Spikor, Roboto, Ninjor and Sy-Klone, we never got anyone outside the '82-'84 period (and even some from that period were missing), which means we got no Stinkor. Also we never got any Snake Men (except Kobra Khan) or Evil Horde.
