Hello

My name's Brandon and I'm 26 years-old. When I was three I got my first He-Man action figure for christmas (Battle Armor He-Man) and I've been a fan for life. I discovered this website around 1999 or 2000 when I was a senior in high school and have used it as a valuable resource for many fan-created projects. I've already posted one fruit of these projects on here. Here's a list of what I've done. Let me know if there's something that you're interested in and I'll be happy to share information. Some things might take a little while to post since they're on a different computer and also it might take me a while to knock down a file's size so I can attach it to a post. In other words, please be patient with me since I'm a borderline Luddite and a total nerd.

My labors of love:
Casting Ideas geared towards a He-Man/She-Ra movie trilogy and spin-offs (Text posted in the "Casting Solutions" thread.)

MOTU VS system TCG sets (It'd be cool to find some VS players here because the last time I checked my card preview post at vsrealms.com, I think I got the "subtle" hint that no one in that VS community gives a rip about He-Man.)

MOTU and Thundercats CAWs (So far I've only made 16 of both franchises on SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain.)

MOTU Overpower TCG (RIP) characters cards and specials (Yes, I know the game was somewhat complicated, but I've always thought it was fun. I've got some homemade cards, but file sizes are my biggest concern.)

Discussion ideas for an MOTU video game RPG (Just imagine He-Man, She-Ra and the whole crew battling evil on the next gen consoles like "Justice League Heroes" or "Marvel Ultimate Alliance." Don't you think it's about time that these characters star in an avenue of entertainment they've hardly breached?)

haha what took you so long to join the forums!!!!! ???

Welcome!!
And Matt's got a point.. what took you so long?

Sorry I need to make a correction to my above statement about what thread my cast is in. It's actually in the "Dream Cast for MOTU" thread.

Also, to answer you folks' questions as rhetoical as they may be, I'll share a little as to why it took me so long to join the boards. I just got into message boards and stuff of the like within the past year and a half when I got into VS System. When I saturated myself into the Internet during my time at college, I had a few projects I relied on this site for shelved to keep from mixing in and throwing me off track in the pursuit of my degree. Well, I've got the friggin' degree (which is Theatre by the way) and I'm not using it. I figure while I've got a steady paycheck and so forth (which is kinda hard to come by in the profession I got my degree in) I can tie up some loose ends I've had unraveled for about eight years.

Welcome wallbie, it seems like you have all kinds of creative ideas for MOTU and a passionate fan is always welcome here. Looking forward to seeing your ideas in the weeks to come, especially having to do with the videogame we've all been dying for! Welcome!

Welcome on my behalf also even thought you've been lurking around here longer than me

If you check out the fan art forum, I've got my recipe for He-Man on SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain. I thought about putting it in the custom figures and such page (it does say "and such" in the title and it's information for a "custom" wrestler) just in case anyone who has the game and doesn't look in the fan art thread that much can catch it there too. I just wasn't sure if that's considered spamming by putting the same information in two threads. Yeah, that's how much of a Luddite I am.

Besides, it tooks me a couple of hours each to make these guys along with their moves. Even in playing them in season (which you have to do if you want their stats to be worth a pile of caca, unless you perform the memory card cheat) I've had a few light bulbs go off on how I could tweak their appearances here and there to make them look a bit better. Also, it seems like I'm finding better moves to suit their abilities as well as looking like something that they would do natually in combat. So far there's 16 of them right now along with 16 characters from Thundercats. I've got the stats completed for only eight of them and three of those are of MOTU.

I've asked my wife to help me get these things on the computer this week, so I'll give you a sample with the emoticons of what you can expect. I will also put moves lists on here so you don't have to waste time on that, unless you really want He-Man to kick someone in the nuts or Skeletor to shake his butt like Stacy Kiebler. If so, that's your prerogetive.

Also, once I finish up everyone in season (I'm on Lion-O right now) I plan on making another 16 MOTU characters. I'll keep those identities a secret for right now. Just as a hint as to who not to expect, I wouldn't bank of seeing anyone with a cape that's longer than waist length.

Okay, here's who I've made so far:
He-Man
Skeletor
Mer-Man
Beast Man
Teela
She-Ra
Hordak
Catra
Man-At-Arms
Glimmer
Stinkor
Mekaneck
Fisto
Jistu
Tung Lashor
King Hiss

Peace.
