By the Six! Is it Friday already? Actually, I’ve been longing for Friday so…yeah! Let’s see a flashback! The pictures are small this week so remember to click to enlarge them.
Allura is Adam’s (He-Man’s) sister. She was kidnapped by Hordak when she was a child (which is why we never heard about her previous to her release). He raised her and brainwashed her to serve as the captain of his guard on Etheria (another planet). At some point she finds a mystic sword of her own and snaps out of her brainwashing and leads the rebellion against Hordak as She-Ra. The line was aimed at girls and didn’t match the Masters of the Universe toys so I never bought any of the figures. The cartoons replaced the He-Man series and I wasn’t able to get into them even though they look to be of better quality. There were a couple of crossover specials, including a Christmas one. That pretty much sums up my knowledge of She-Ra.
Nektara returns as She-Ra. Not a lot to say about this one, it turned out well. No special stories on drawing it.
Comparison to the original. The limbs were spindly as always, but the original was otherwise pretty good for the time. The headdress hid how poorly I drew curved lines.
That’s all for this week. Come back next week for another flashback from the Masters of the Universe mythos!
