Travelling Con Exclusive - Goat Man in MOTUC!

[zodack]

I'm down. Hopefully the art supplied on this thread gets noticed by the 4h.

[kolobosrexx]

...Hurry up with Da Goat-Man!! He's easy, and barely requires any new tooling!

[goatboy413]

As the heir to goat man I would love to see this figure made.

[scott metzger]

I don't remember ever seeing Goat Man before he was brought up here on the site, and I know zilch about the character. Nonetheless, I would be more than happy to add him to my collection. He fits in well with MOTU (then again, what really doesn't?), and especially with Skeletor's more beastly bunch (old bone head seems to have a monopoly on anthropomorphic animals as henchmen). And, as pointed out, he'd require precious little in the line of new tooling, so that should appeal to Mattel.

[Berserker79]

Count me in, he looks very MOTU...

[kenobi96]

Oh yeah!! He would be cool!!

[iron_pride]

It would be awesome to incorporate other media like this into the line. I hope they do soon.

I would love to add Goat Man to the collection!

He used the scare the stuffings out of me as a kid. He looked like part Clawful/part devil (Tim Curry) from the movie Legend.

[Chroniklor]

Perhaps some more vintage figures first but otherwise: yeah, sure thing!

[Prahvus]

A MOTUC Goat Man figure would be awesome ! Count me in !

But to be perfectly honest, I'd prefer to get Prahvus first...

I'd also support a Basher figure.

[Shecky]

Goat Man would be a great addition to the line !

Really glad they've got the rights to Goat Man now. I'd much prefer never before made characters like this over brand new characters for the 30th anniversary.

[baronterror]

want a Goat Man. Top tier comic character here. Make sure to give him unique bracers along with the unique armour and head. Boots not a big deal. Otherwise a very easy figure to do.

Make it so!

[Rodster6]

His real name should be Ambrose, then he won't just be a character from one Golden Book but also the NA cartoon.

[Greenskull]

Yes please, give me Goat Man!

[JoeyCruel]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Unless they seriously tone down the all too obvious Satanic overtones of this design (particularly the red color, which when used in combination with goat-like imagery is one of the most well-known representations of the Christian Devil), this would the only ever figure I would be totally passing on. I don't want my MotU world to be stained with Christian/religious imagery, let alone Satanic.

How do you feel about NA Adam and Queen Angella?

[uaxuctum]

How do you feel about NA Adam and Queen Angella?

Queen Angella is winged like an angel, of course; that's her name and "gimmick". But the fact is, she doesn't actually look like a typical representation of a Christian angel. She doesn't have an out-of-this-world angellic face with flowing silky hair, and doesn't wear long solemn white robes surrounded by a divine aura. Plus she is a female (Christian angels are prototypically males). It takes some imagination to visualize her as a "real" Christian angel (although her toy version seems to have a somewhat more "authentic" feel in this regard). In Filmation she looks more like an 80s girl-next-door with fake-looking wings and a combed-back "solid" hairdo, wearing a gaudy cyan-and-magenta leotard as if about to engage in some aerobics exercise (*).



(*) Which is the reason she's my least liked Filmation PoP gal design-wise. She doesn't have much of a regal, "queenly" feel to her. I would like her to look more like this:



Or even like this:



On the other hand, Goat Man does look too much like a prototypical representation of the Christian devil (an evil-looking horned guy in reddish colors, with cloven hooves as feet, often a goatee on the chin, and usually a pointy tail). It only takes the smallest step to visualize him as a "real" Christian devil/demon.




If at least he had a brownish face like a real goat instead of that "devil red". The goat-horned minion of Skeletor in New Adventures (bottom center in the picture below), in contrast, conveys no Satanic overtones whatsoever (if they made Goat Man more like this, I'd be totally OK with him).



As for NA Adam, I don't get it. Do you mean because the way he's dressed gives him a certain "Ancient Roman/Greek" vibe?

Are you for real?

[zodak74]

Gimme that Devil Man! Errr... I mean Goat Man!
Seriously though, how have I not chimed in before with my desire for this character?!
Goat Man for 2013!!!

Guys please remember all discussion of topics of a religious nature must be kept to the Tar Swamp.
Just a friendly forum rule reminder and word of caution be for this goes to far.

Thanks

I really hope Goat Man makes it into the 2014/15 line-up somehow
