Thanks for the review. Though Dawg-O-Tor is neat, the proportions of the Battle Ram is off; I owned the toy back in the 80’s and Archon’s rendition, though detailed, is simply too small for the driver, alas. I agreed that a more recognizable driver would have been good; perhaps an Eternian Royal Guard instead, as the Battle Ram (in my head canon) was always a Heroic Warriors vehicle. Looking forward to your take on Leech and Scorpia!
I think they might have truncated it slightly for the base size but I don’t think the proportions are too bad compared to the Classics line it’s based on (based on looking at pictures as I’ve never seen the Classics toy in real life). A royal guard would have been a better choice for me, but again, I do understand why they have gone down this route.
Ha. I genuinely didn’t think it was too bad. It doesn’t quite have as much length as it probably should but on the whole I thought it was a good miniature. I like it more than the Leech and Scorpia miniatures that are coming up, although I think that is overall a better expac than this one.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I just find 3rd party eliminates add alot of texture to war gaming. and i really like the idea of mercenary parties benefiting off the war between skellitor and he-man but im just ranting.
Not exactly. Sherri Lynn Cook, Shane Dittsworth, and Owen "O-Dawg" Oertling weren't official members of the Four Horsemen Studios design team when the Fighting Foe Men figures were created. The four founding members of the studio named those three figures after their employees as a "thank you" for their hard work.
Larry Elmore's artistry continues to echo in nerd culture. I shouldn't have been that surprised.
This was a little chapter that I knew nothing about. It was nice to find out something new about him.

I agree. It looks pretty bad. It's like the Little Tykes kiddie version of the vehicle.

I like the vehicle and may pick one up.
Are you releasing any more painting video of the characters from the base set.
Yes there are more painting guides to come. The school holidays really take a toll on what content I can produce but I am working on it!
I think that's a nice mini for the price. And it sounds like a neat addition to the game.
I think the miniature is lovely, and the price is good. I do wish it wasn’t a Fighting Foe Men, but I do understand the decision.

They named the characters based on themselves ….?
Huh.
Good models and review. More Masters of the Universe!!
Apparently. It was all new to me!
