Songster discussion in MOTUC

[Darkspecter]

Awesome! well theres three 'Doug Howards' on IMDB, but only this one sorta seems close!

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1362051/

right era of activity -1987

Doug Howard (III) has only done film editing and was a script supervisor in the one film.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1899310/

Doug Howard (I) was only a special thanks:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1362051/

Doug Howard (IV) is the only one who's an actor. I'm watching the show he was in right now to see if it's him or not.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3042012/

EDIT: I have NO idea if he's in the show or not. I watched both episodes and never ONCE heard the name "Michael Ferguson," or any short forms of it. There is a boy in the show that *might* be him though. Hard to tell and I don't think they ever said his name.

EDIT part 2: I FOUND HIM!!!

He probably isn't any of the IMDB people. He's a musician (duh to me!). He was part of a few bands, the newest being Reservoir Road and he has an album out this year!

Yay me for finding him and his official website!:

You can listen to some of his music in the media section:

Yay, now everyone can ask for a variant head to have old Songster.

[Cringer_luvr]

All I can say about a songster figure is NO NO NO please NO!

[mikescab]

Songster, seriously? Good grief, looks like an 80's nightmare.

[krosfyah]

if they were to make songster for classics then they should go all out and make him the way he appeared. don't try tomake him cool or update him, he should be just as he was an intergalactic bard, hell give him some weight and sayhe's the records keeper for the cosmic enforcers but he has a penchant for creativity and often turns his observations into sonnets and songs. as people have been saying elude to the fact that he's kevin from the 87 flick. if they tried to make him cool those who don't want him won't buy him anyway, might as well go all out and sell him to the crowd that demands him.

now that doesn't mean I want the guy but if he IS going to be made then do it right in all his 80s cheese.

[SAMURAI36]

Okay, I'll bite: What's the appeal for this guy? I just don't get the appeal for all these wacked out characters: Mo-Larr and such.

I can't believe there are so many people who wanna see all this stuff, but then complain about 200X, NA, and POP.

It just boggles the mind.

Well, I think he looks awesome and his concept is awesome. As krosfyah said, he's an intergalactic bard or rock star who tells the stories of He-Man and She-Ra to the people. Someone has to tell of their adventures.

Heck, the "Power Tour" could be a group of dancers, singers and actors that act out his stories. Spinnerella and Man-E-Faces could have parts!

I think him being Kevin would be kind of cool. Mattel would just have to say real name "Kevin" and leave it at that. Nobody owns the rights to the name Kevin, but we would all know who he's supposed to be.

I've liked all the characters so far. Mo-Larr was really left field because he wasn't MOTU at all...but I supported him. At least Songster IS official MOTU.

[King Kahn]

no...just no to songster. it is a very horrible character...

[Jon-O]

Sign me up. I'll take one. I wasn't familiar with him until recently, but in this expanded universe, why not? Give us your quirky, your bold, your intriguing characters, and we shall give them a place on our shelves!

[13977]

Nar I'm really not bothered about him.

[Maestro]

No disrespect to anyone that likes Songster, but I have zero desire for this character and would not buy one.

[lorde trooper]

Saw the clip and want him even less now. No way to songster.

[Kei Liger]

i ABSOLUTE WANT HIM!

I WANT SONGSTER AS A MOTUC ^_^

[Matthew K]

I love this line and I'm pretty open to any character that would make a cool toy. I'm also a big fan of the 4Horseman and they make some of my favorite toys, but I don't think that even they can make a good figure out of that. No interest here.

[danielsan52]

If they did this character as a con-exclusive two pack like Mo-Larr, it might be worth it. As a monthly figure, no way.

[Arvulis]

Here is my own interpretation of a Bard :

[Kei Liger]

please we want SONGSTERRRR!

[Pixel Dan]

After watching parts of the Power Tour on YouTube a week ago, I've decided that I'm on the Songster bandwagon. It's just fun to support these obscure characters!

So let's do it! Songster for MOTUC! ...but not before Mosquitor.

[Brian Ozone]

After reading the new thread by MegaGearMax the new Toyguru question thredsomeone wrote this......

Songster doesn't have to be a joke character.

Recently Songster was referred as "to be used as a joke character."
I disagree. Orko was a "Joke character" yet made "serious and relevant" to the MOTUC lore.

Why this can't be done to Songster?
Yes he's a Spoony Bard that dresses funny, but he's a Bard!
A Bard is the most suited to spread the exploits of heroes and villains past and present.

He could have musical instrument themed weapons... Guitar/Axe is kinda obvious.

With an awesome bio, cool accessories and a cool figure, Songster COULD be awesome... P.S. Songster IS more MOTU than Mo-Larr (Who I own and enjoy!)

Is it possible to treat SOngster seriously and made as an awesome character... He isn't as ridiculous as Snout Spout, or the Energy Zoids.

No, we totally get it. And "joke" character was prob not the best description. Hey a MOTU bard is actually a really cool idea. What say you fans, should Songster make it into MOTUC? I will tell you right now he is not planned, but we do have rights to him. I'll leave it up to the fans. Lets us know if you'd like to see him on the line!


Id take him. why not new characters in the MOTU that was once apart of a canon would be cool. I would think that the 4H would give him an awesome revamp look. And some sweet weapons. Like drum stick nunchucks and a fender strat that the neck is a huge drill bit. Stuff like that.

But id want him why not. So if you want him let your voice be heard then we might just get him. I think it would be cool to get characters like thid that could be apart of the new line since that is what this line is about.

[RockinHard]

A big, solid "NO!"

[JVS3]

I've said it on the podcast. I definitely want him.
But NOT as he appeared on the Power Tour.
Actually, I don't want any of the versions from the Power Tour.

But having a bard-like character in MOTU makes perfect sense,
so updating his look for MOTUC would be awesome IMO.
I already know that the 4H can update his look to include some subtle nods to the Power Tour, without making him look like a glam 80s reject.
In the 4H we trust!

[Uncle Jake]

Yes, but only as an exclusive, like SDCC or the yearly bonus figure.

Ditto!
The 4H can work some magic as they usually do, they can take any silly concept from the 80s and change it in some badass figure, just look the awesome job they did with Gygor!
Or the magnificent Bow update; we shoul trust the 4H blindly

And I like that idea of Kevin becoming songster too, maybe with a Robby's Rib bucket as an accessory!

BTW, speaking of bards... I'd love a Willawind too, but that is too obscure and Filmation...

[Beastmaster]

I like him.. Bring him!

[Alec77]

He's cool! I would love to see a 4HM designed figure of him!
