The people at MVCreations were fans of the original toy-line and cartoon/comics so they included lot of easter-eggs and homages during the comic's run.
In a special Target-exclusive 2-pack of He-Man and Skeletor action-figures, there was a comic packaged in. The comic showed one panel where He-Man bends Trap-Jaw's mechanic arm.
This is an homage to Filmation series where in season 1 episode "The Diamond Ray of Disappearance" He-Man grabs Trap-Jaw's Lasertron weapon-attachment and bends it.
So you see how Trap-Jaw paying homage exceeds in both cartoon & comic. ;)
Ive yet to see this 2-pack comic and the one that came with the Gameboy MotU game...

Great Blog. Although not my favorite version of the Masters of the Universe, MYP was definitely integral in keeping He-Man alive through the years. I'll be sure to follow all of your posts!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing nods to the Filmation toon in other forms of MOTU media, and this comic is one of them :-) Thank you for sharing!
