| 585 | Video | Vaporman87 | That would old, not having a save system. Especially if you had been walking for some time and added a great deal to your collection. | Apr 19, 2013 |  | |
| 587 | Video | Vaporman87 | Frank Welker has been in so many cartoons and cartoon series that I don't know how he keeps track of all the voices. | Slimer Won't Do That: Part Two | Apr 24, 2013 | |
| 591 | Video | Vaporman87 | Hideo has always been a good storyteller. He just gets those stories a bit too convoluted and fantastical at times. | Snatcher - Sega CD Gameplay | Apr 26, 2013 | |
| 600 | Article | Vaporman87 | An awesome article that's right in my wheelhouse. As for my favorite of the two, I would naturally gravitate toward He-Man because that is the show I watched regularly in my childhood. But I can see why, having no prior experience with either, one would choose as you have. There is a bit more creativity in the characters and stories in She-Ra, but without He-Man there would be no She-Ra. So a bit of what makes She-Ra good is owed to He-Man. You mentioned Paul Dini who was very good at making the most of what he was given. But most folks in the "He-Man" cognoscenti will quickly refer to Larry DiTillo as their favorite episode writer. He is credited with creating some of the series most beloved (non-Mattel) characters (who are just now, with the advent of the Masters of the Universe Classics series, getting their first taste of action figure love). His most famous creation being Granamyr, the oldest and wisest dragon of Darksmoke (I own the "classics" Granamyr figure and it's HUGE!). Larry also did episode writing for the 2002 He-Man series, and there he is also considered to have written some of the best episodes... especially those dealing with origin stories. Thanks for this article shakin! I really enjoyed it. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | Apr 30, 2013 | |
| 604 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think with Bravestarr, you have a lack of interesting characters. With He-Man, you could introduce new characters from the line and kids would feel invested in them simply because they had the action figure of that character. With Bravestarr, you lack that connection because of it's success was more dependent on the show as opposed to a toy line. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 03, 2013 | |
| 607 | Article | Vaporman87 | Who doesn't have just a little love for Boba Fett. Sure he's a bit heartless and maybe not so nice, but he DID have to watch his dad get his head lightsabered off by Shaft. How would that make YOU feel? Anyhow, his figure is worth a great deal of money because of his cult popularity and this mail away status. Can you imagine if you had left him in the package and kept it locked away in a vacuum sealed safe? Yeah, me neither. But still... if you had... you'd be the envy of Star Wars Ebay members everywhere. Thanks for this OldSchool! A great read. | Boba Fett - My Favorite Action Figure | May 05, 2013 | |
| 611 | Article | Vaporman87 | I really enjoyed the image of your growing collection of figures from your past. Most of my figures were doomed to a similar fate as yours, with parents selling them off in yard sales (with, regrettably, my approval) or simply lost or tossed. It seems that, despite your not growing up in the decade you really wanted to do so in, you were able to capture a bit of it with the hand-me-down toys of the 80's. That's a good start. :) Great read vkimo! Thanks for this. | Masters of the Toybox | May 06, 2013 | |
| 613 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yup. I've seen it a few times. I never thought it was as bad as people made it out to be, but it certainly left a lot to be desired. And the "re-imagining" of the characters left a bitter taste in my mouth. After having read some interviews with the director, I felt less critical of the movie. He had so little to work with, and made the best product he could given the circumstances, budget, and studio red tape. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 06, 2013 | |
| 614 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awesome finds! I'm not often at yard sales or thrift stores, but when I have been I've never been lucky enough to come across such treasures. | Masters of the Toybox | May 06, 2013 | |
| 620 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wouldn't say it was "dreadful". A bit campy and unfaithful to the source material... yes. But not "dreadful. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 08, 2013 | |
