    Hey, gang!

    Hi there, I'm Mo. I wasn't a MotU fan growing up, though I had my older cousin's hand-me-downs (that it turns out were mostly late-series figures [Mosquitor, Two-Bad, Dragstor, Extendar, etc.] that got thrown away, d'oh) but I've recently really gotten into the franchise.

    Most of that is that I am an artist (and esp. pixel artist) who has been suffering some REALLY gnarly artist's block this year, and I thought I'd steal concepts from '80s toylines for inspiration to draw. So I ended up binge-watching Pixel Dan videos at the office for a few weeks. I still can't break my artist's block, but I'm really into watching He-Man and making the characters in the game Fire Pro Wrestling World instead!

    Anyways, I mostly want to ask two things:

    1. is it weird that as a kid I loved Mosquitor and Two-Bad ("Bloodman" and "the Brothers," respectively, since I didn't have their cardbacks) but Extendar and Dragstor freaked me right the heck out? Especially Extendar. I did NOT trust that dude.

    2. I wanted to post my progress on recreating the MotU cast as create-a-characters in Fire Pro Wrestling World, but I'm not sure whether or not I should post that in the Fanart forum? Thanks if you can help me with that.

    PS, I may have reconnected with another cousin because of my very, very recent delve into MotU, and she is VERY stoked to find out that there's going to be a new She-Ra that she can experience with her kids so, y'know, that's pretty cool.

    PPS, I think my favorite characters are now Trapjaw and Granamyr.

    I love Two Bad, and Pixel Dan loves Mosquitor, so there's nothing weird about your interests IMO
