Not gonna lie...the only hairstyle I've ever liked on He-Man is the one from the Filmation series. New Adventures and 20XX, wtf was that. The reissued toys, the ones currently on the shelves with more points of articulation...not a fan of his hairstyle there either.
Why keep trying to update the Prince Valiant hair? [I]Yes its dated[/I], just like the Conan the Barbarian look is but they don't try to put him in pants and a shirt. lol The whole look goes together.

[QUOTE=Güicho;5144091]For the record:
While Archie show was Filmation.
Josie And The Pussycats was Hanna Barbera...
So instead Hanna Barbera picked up the Josie And The Pussycats license to also have their own show to fill that cartoon band niche.
Honestly in the end I do feel HB was better at it, and ([B][URL="https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?118082-FILMATION-animation-studio-APPRECIATION&p=4015424&viewfull=1#post4015424"]Sugar Sugar[/URL][/B] notwithstanding) J&tPC was more memorable and fun than [B][URL="https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?118082-FILMATION-animation-studio-APPRECIATION&p=4015304&viewfull=1#post4015304"]Filmation's Archie[/URL][/B].

I was a fan of Archie, but I also agree that it wasn't as memorable. I watched it in the early 70s -- and the characters were dressed like it was the early 60s. They were much more up-to-date in the comics -- very mod. I think I preferred Sabrina -- probably due to the magic/witchcraft -- and the character. But of the three, Josie and the Pussycats was the most humorous.
Filmation wasn't great at humor, but I did like their serious shows -- such as Star Trek and even the Superman/Batman shows which were head and shoulders above the sappy Super Friends (I think those were HB).

As a child of the 70s/80s I have a soft spot for SuperFriends, but anywhoo
Filmation did try several more "series" shows. One of my favorites was their remake of Fantastic Voyage. Although the premise is somewhat ridiculous many of the story dealt with adult theme such as political tensions, love, even death that I think you would have a hard time totally redoing even today
Worth a view on YT or other places

has nine lives but has used up eight of them and is on
his ninth and last life where he wants to make it last.
When he says the numbers 1 through 8,
the ghost from that past life shows up and tries to help him,
but his ghost lives always goof up, getting him into more trouble.

That dude is long-winded. Too many tangents. But beyond that, cool story about the Faker sticker.
Anyway, I figured out all of the He-Man figures have a complimentary adversary. The only one that makes sense for Faker is Zodac/k, purely by process of elimination, though.
