Blackstar in the MOTUC?

**Brian Ozone** · August 30, 2008, 09:43am

In the new Joe line they are using Matt Trakker from the MASK toyline. I don't collect that line but that is a really cool idea.

So if Flimation gave the ok and figured out a way to use there characters in the new toyline. Could it be possible to get a Blackstar figure. There was a bronze statue of Blackstar in the Motu episode Temple of the sun.

It would be really cool. Many feel that Blackstar paved the way for Motu. And there are way too many similarites.

I love Blackstar and think it'd be awesome.
I wonder who owns the Blackstar license? Is Filmation still a business entity that would hold those licenses?
Galoob did the toys back in the day.

But yeah, I'd love to see that. A 4HM Blackstar, Mara, Overlord etc. It'd be cool for sure!

I'm so down for this! As stupid as it probably sounds I would also love to see a Bravestar included in MOTUC, maybe as a counterpart to Reo Blast. But since both are probably owned by ER there's fat chance of that happening!

I want Judge JB from Bravestarr.

**JonDaMan** · August 30, 2008, 11:35am

This talk has got me thinking--

Would also be great if a company could do a 'variety' line of cartoon character figures. With, say, each release of figures having to do with a different cartoon (or have a "mixed bag", with a character or 2 from different cartoons in each release of figures).

**xBBestx** · August 30, 2008, 11:40am

Mcfarlane did that with Hanna Barbara,

**Flint** · August 30, 2008, 12:01pm

I think the Thundercats would fit in well.

**Brian Ozone** · August 30, 2008, 12:11pm

Guys please stick to the topic. I'd like see if we stir up enough buzz for Flimation characters maybe we will get a few. Thanks.

I started a thread on who would fit in the new toyline.

**Flint** · August 30, 2008, 12:32pm

Sorry Brian... Blackstar would rock... bring him on Mattel

I felt like a teacher telling his students in class.

I don't mean to be a weenee but I would to know what people think about Blackstar. Thats all. There doing it in the Joe line. And maybe they could to the same here.

Sometimes we could go really off the topic and well I didn't want that to happen here. Sorry.

I always liked the idea the Jon Blackstar and Marlena were astronauts from Planet Earth who got lost in space, ending up on different planets. Since it is Masters of the UNIVERSE (not Masters of Eternia), I think Blackstar would make a GREAT addition to MOTUC!

**capitalzero** · August 30, 2008, 01:56pm

I say keep it MOTU.

there's plenty of characters and eras to explore, that we don't need to start adding outside properties that have NOTHING TO DO with it.

I agree with you. But tell me it would be cool. I just got done watching all the Blackstar episodes. Man heman and Blackstar are like bobsie twins.

If it could happen I think it would be awesome. I'd rather a Blackstar figure then repaints and varients.

**Mike Bock** · August 30, 2008, 04:35pm

Awesome idea. I'd buy one, no doubt about it.

**capitalzero** · August 30, 2008, 05:21pm

Blackstar in MOTUC, would be like Geordi LaForge in a Doctor Who toy line.

similar properties, but they have nothing to do with each other.

From the thread "Name any DREAM CrossOver,TV,comics,movies,etc. that you'd like to see":

Planetary marshall of New Texas, Lucas Conway, retires after his deputy, Rio Blast, is crippled in an accident. Rio Blast travels to Eternia where he is fitted with cybernetic enhancements by Man-At-Arms, and Bravestarr replaces Conway as planetary marshall of New Texas.

Vipra, a Repton with the power to hypnotize, travels to New Texas to retrieve the Lost Book of the Ancients, which contains a spell that will free her ancestors, the Snakemen, from the Void.

nice fanfic, but it's not canon.

**adol** · August 30, 2008, 07:05pm

Masters of the Universe and canon are mutually exclusive.

**gnewton34** · August 30, 2008, 07:33pm

They've got enough on their plate with MOTU, POP and NA. I'd rather see characters from these shows than another. Why bring in something else entirely? It's Masters of the Universe classics NOT Filmation classics.

**TheShadow** · August 30, 2008, 07:59pm

Absolutely not.

Blackstar is not and never will be a He-Man character. He got to appear in some rubble as a statue in an episode, that is the one and only throw back. And, that only happened, because the same company did the cartoon. Blackstar is a failed property. The three eyed fish from the Simpsons (or whatever) appears in an MYP He-Man episode. I don't think we want that released as a He-Man figure.

We have plenty of legitimate characters through classics MOTU, POP, and New Adventures.

**motu77** · August 30, 2008, 08:18pm

It would be cool but stick to MOTU for now. Besides I think this was tried before and now we have "Savage/Wanderbread" He-Man

Makes sense doesn't it??

**CocoaSmooth** · August 30, 2008, 08:41pm

I think it would be neat to incorporate him much later.

Well since it`s Masters of the UNIVERSE we could also get a BA. Baraca figure, Michael Knight and Mork from Ork figures in MOTUC since they are all in the same universe.

but seriously NO

Agreed. Call me a purist.

**Brian Ozone** · August 30, 2008, 10:26pm

Agreed there way too many Motu figures that need to be done and Pop and Na and mini comic characters and the list goes on. BUT wouldn't it be cool regardless. In a few months or even years for that matter. But Id like to have him in my Motuc collection along side Superman. Why the hell not. If Matt Trackker is a Joe then Blackstar could be Motu.
