Bad News for He-Man Fans

[Dr Kain]

Tommorow eps is ep 23, next Sat is ep 24. CN is going to wait until mid-summer to air eps 25 and 26, the "Council of Evil" pts 1 and 2. This sucks. Oh, and it movies to 7:30 on Sats on April 26.

Welcome to last month. We've known this for awhile now, bud.

Well I just looked at the schedule now because I wanted to make sure today's wasn't a new one.

Sorry if that sounded rude though, I guess sometimes over the internet I can come off like a jerk.

Actually, it's not CN that decides when episodes air. It's Mattel. It's part of their contract agreement. In a Q&A with Mattel at He-Man.org, this was confirmed. Back not to long ago when He-Man was airing 5 days a week, it was Mattel's call to yank them out of the 5 day a week rotation so as not to burn out the episodes.

So, it's actually Mattel that decides when Council of Evil airs. And us fans hope it happens before June 11th as that is the date that issue 72 of Toy Fare goes on sale. What's so important about that? The cover of the issue will feature He-Man in his new costume that he will sport in season 2. This will NOT be another variant but a permanent costume change for him. Also in the issue we'll be getting an episode guide for season 2. So that is why I hope at least we'll get COE before. Because I don't want to read something in the new episode guide that will spoil something in COE.

What's wrong with his current look? Are they going to change everybody's look? Meaning we would have to buy all the same characters again? I doubt CoE will air even before July. Oh yeah, and I never visit He-Man.org, so I don't know any of the news when it comes out.

i haven't been watching week-in/week-out
i intend to record the series when it begins anew, from #1 on...

Great... chances are by the time they air Council of Evil, I'll be on the road to Baltimore. :(

As for the new look, Clown Prince is right, we will see what it is in Issue #72 of Toyfare. (it's an action figure magazine if you didn't know) Judging by fan reaction to the news, I have a feeling this issue will be sold out before ya' know it. *laughs*

Along with the costume story, there's gonna be some cool customs of Faceless One, Count Marzo, Cringer and Evilseed (by the incredible Joe Amaro) too! :D But I digress...

I can live with times getting pushed back. I keep up with Justice League and they were notorious for doing that. Bad news for me would be if they canceled He-Man. :p
