Vintage Art Recreation: He-Man Cardback

It's been awhile... but we finally got out to do our second vintage art recreation! Since Teela just arrived this week, the possibilities for recreation expanded quite a bit. The He-Man cardback features her, He-Man, and Man-At-Arms so we went with that one.

Finding a hill with nothing but clouds behind it was a bit of a challenge...but the worst part was keeping all three standing! Everything would look great...then Teela would fall and take out He-Man or Man-At-Arms would fall down and I'd knock He-Man down trying to fix him. Grrrr... And then there were some poseability and scale issues that we had to try and work around (what works in a drawing doesn't always work out so well when using action figures). It all turned out in the end though. I'm especially happy with how Teela looks; she matches the cardback drawing really well in my opinion.

Vintage Art Recreation: Original Faker Cardback

One of the main things I want to do on this blog is photographic recreations of the original MOTU artwork using the Classics figures. Since the Classics seem to be so much inspired by that artwork, I thought it would be kinda cool seeing them recreating it. Everything is fair game- Cardback art, magazine posters, box art, mini-comics... if it's vintage art, I'd like to recreate it.

We started off with something simple: The original Faker cardback art. Enjoy!
