    Anyone remember, maybe in the early 90s there was a short lived revamped He-Man series (different art style/voice actors/characters etc. . .)? It was a bit more sci-fi than the original and seemed to be aimed at early teens, rather than kids.

    I feckin' loved it! Can't find it anywhere though :(

    The New Adventures of He-man

    It think it's generally looked down on... But I certainly remember enjoying it a lot as a series.

    If I remember correctly they made Skeletor to be a bit more like the Joker out of Batman.

    A live action film scheduled for 2009 I think after a failed attempt in the late 80's *shudder*

    Never saw this show but I was mad into the original He-man stuff so I guess I might get round to seeing this 90's version someday (esp now with seemingly every tv show under the sun coming out on DVD at rock bottom prices).

    Oh the originial He-man cartoon was extremely gay.

    Sure, you had characters called 'Ram Man' and 'Fisto' in it.
