    When I saw it I thought "Man, some Terran just mugged He-Man and ran off with his sword."

    Not sure if He-Man is all that well known outside the US.

    German here. Well he is! B)

    He-Man was one of the big things of 80s Toys. Back then the whole hype was just a lil bit time delayed, by 2 years or so.

    There was also the 2006 (I think) Cartoon Network reboot (rather good IMO), and his sister just got a new show on Netflix, I'm disappointed in the animation style, but my daughter likes it.

    There was a second He-Man series in the later 80s, but it was pretty bad.

    Yea pretty much.

    200X He-Man was short bit nice, think only around 30 or 40 episodes or so.

    I watched the new She-Ra from Netflix on my phone on my way to work. The look is something to get used to but seems to be in line with modern stuff. While clearly aimed at children and not at grown up fans the show itself is still funny enough for adults to watch. Not bad at all I think. :)

    Yeah most female armor in MMOs and Fantasy RPGs looks straight out of the Bronze Bra Guild from "Chicks in Chainmail".

    On the occasions when they have a full bra. No thanks. I prefer my fantasy heroines with practical armour.

    I used watch the original She-Ra when I was a kid. My sister and I loved the Spot-The-Elf game.

    Well, my Lukari character commands the LSS Sheeraa, which I translated in the char bio as 'Lukari for 'Princess of Power'' (spelling adjusted for Lukari naming habits, the double vocals seem common).

    So... 😏

    You know, I did not see the gem in the sword in the first picture. It actually looks more like She-Ra's sword, only the gem is red instead of blue.

    The shape, with the tines on the side, is more like it was in the original Masters of the Universe promotional comics. The action figure line left a chunk of smooth plastic connecting the tines to the blade, presumably out of fear that they would bend or break off, and the cartoon kept those, so the thing looked like it had side handles.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    They just recently used the crew for a Geico commercial.

    But it's a space marine powersword, isn't it? Abd the armours are quite chunky - and completely useless 😄

    Armor isn't big, chunky, bulky enough. This sword is more appropriate!

    Yeah most female armor in MMOs and Fantasy RPGs looks straight out of the Bronze Bra Guild from "Chicks in Chainmail".

    In some of the Korean MMOs, "Armor value is proportional to the amount of skin is exposed." :)

    Kidding me??, i have the entire 200X collection, and i live in Chile.. so yeah, it was pretty popular... i had some of the original ones, but they where expensive for a kid back in the 80's, anyway.. I NEED THAT SWORD!!!!

    And that is only one downside to Korean MMOs.
