80’s TOYS - Masters of the Universe - Ram Man

In this episode Adam and Mark dive in to the Studio Obscenito toy box and dig out some nostalgic 1980's gold.

The Ram Man action figure was released as part of the line's second wave, and was one of the first figures of the line to break away from the construction design of the standard figures. Instead, the figure has a hollow body, allowing his legs to slide up inside his torso and clip in place. A latch on the back of his boot releases him, causing him to spring forward with a headbutting action.

The original prototype for the figure gave Ram Man an orange tunic and red legs. The final release had a red tunic and green legs, but his original prototype colour scheme was still used on back of box listings and in a number of appearances in the franchise's other media.

Ram Man's first appearance is in the early Mattel mini-comic "He Man meets Ram Man". In this comic Ram Man is portrayed as a loner who lives on a stretch of barren land. He will attack anyone who crosses his land, believing their intention is to fight him, and although his past is not delved into it is implied he had retreated to this stretch of land after being continuously victimised by others. The story began with He- Man crossing his land, and despite stating his peace, Ram Man disbelieves him and attacks him. Left with no choice but to fight Ram Man, He-Man fights back and quickly beats him.

Masters of the Universe - The Motion Picture

In this episode Adam and Mark take a slight detour from the barbarian theme with the Sci fi fantasy film adaption of the classic 1980s saturday morning cartoon series ‘Masters of the Universe’. Produced by the notorious Cannon films in 1987, for a princely sum of $22 million, Masters of the Universe the motion picture is one part Star Wars, one part Flash Gordon two parts cheese. and even though it missed the mark at the time and was generally canned by fans and critics alike, it still features the mighty Dolph Lundgren as He Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor. Looking at it in 2020, the film kinda stands alone as a fun nostalgic trip back in time to the marvellous 80’s.
