Who is Ram Man from the Masters of the Universe Classic Toy Line from Mattel. He-Man Secrets!

Scott Toy Guru Neitlich from Spector Creative continues his behind the scenes look at figure by figure from the Masters of the Universe He-Man toy line. This time, non other than Ram Man himself!

[@JamesSerapio]

Every time I see the sculpts on the classic line, I feel regret that I wasn't collecting back then. You guys did fantastic work.

[@cheville2001]

Yeah same, I started collecting late and had to buy figures like Ram Man, Fisto and Jitsu at silly prices but so glad I got them. I love the grown up look to them and can inspire them being in a darker cartoon version of the 80s cartoon.

[@artnandez]

Don’t feel too bad, they weren’t the easiest figures to get a hold of, what with joining subscription plans, or those individual figures you really wanted, selling out in seconds on their matty collector site. Some were a pain to get

[@TitularHeroine]

Yeah.... I never got to grab any of them, and am so thankful for all the stuff we got on shelves now. But these look *so good* !

[@JamesSerapio]

Don't get me wrong, I'm really liking the Masterverse line, but the deco on those classics is pretty great. Also, 1/12 scale to match other collections is nice.

[@rootsnootthnute8598]

Same, I've jumped at the chance to collect Origins because of that, and I've gotten ahold of Origins versions of all 8 original figures, which reminds me of getting all 7 Barraki when I was a little kid.

[@peppermintspacecapsule9898]

My first ever MOTU character back in the '80s! I loved him (still do!) because he was so very different from the standard bodied figures. And he was spring-loaded! 🐏

[@joemartin5669]

He always looked like an Eternian football player to me.I could see him playing tackle for the NFL.I added the end points from.the 2002 version to mine and it really added something to him.one of the line's best figures.

[@johnmorey720]

Ram-Man’s appearance in the new cartoon, in all his goofy badass glory, was the biggest sign that it would have a happy ending.

[@jesseperry9602]

As an avid player of D&D, the first time I saw Ram Man with his blocky stature, thick corded muscles, heavy armor and wielding an ax....aside from the lack of a beard he just screamed, "Dwarf Fighter" to me. As I got older and more into comics I could definitely see a Juggernaut aspect to the character as well, which played well with the 200X line that beefed him up into a larger version.

[@farrisward2211]

I look forward to these videos in my late 30's like I did the classic cartoon as a kid! I always wanted to see Ram Man get the power of the Ram Stone from 200X for a power up. I'm looking forward to more videos about obscure characters like Tug O' War, Rotar, etc.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh yes their is a connection!

[@OSJ81]

Ram-Man was my first Motu toy. I still have him on my shelf in my office. The adventures I had in the backyard while I tried my best to earn more Motu toys growing up. The memories you've just given me is insane. I love this channel so much

[@ninjaspy658]

Thanks for your hard work. It take me back to the past. Now that magic!

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great video! Thank you! Ram Man is easily one of my favourite characters and MOTUC figures. I know they were going off the original Cross-Sell art, but I can't shake the feeling that whoever sculpted his helmetless head made him resemble Rondo Hatton, the "Brute Man" of Film Noir fame.

[@andrewmaclellan608]

This was a figure well worth every microsecond of the wait back in 2013. It lived up to the hype and expectations for me, and then surpassed all of those expectations.

[@robd1329]

This was the one figure I was really glad he wasnt made as a small guy! He new interpretation sculpt was a great new addition for the line!

[@user-do2ev2hr7h]

Quite possibly my favorite figure (or item) from the entire line. All you guys involved absolutely hit a home run with this one.

[@rodrickadamginsburg8960]

One of my favorite characters! Big heart!

[@JSBrown303]

Awesome vid! Ram Man has always been one of my favorite MOTU characters. I still regret not waiting to open the package that Christmas morning I got the original figure and lost the dang ax immediately.

[@Bobbyholland901]

Another great video thank you so much ram man was always one of my favorites. 2000 X Ram man was definitely the way to go

[@Canoby]

I really love that Ram Man keeps getting love in every MOTU iteration so far. Dude is just such a fun, odd character you just have to love him. I personally prefer him as a dwarf for storytelling reasons but at the same time it doesn't bother me when I see him portrayed as closer to normal height and just a really thick guy.

[@JeffTheFutureJaros]

I always have really loved the Ram Man original figure, the feature was cool how you could ram guys with the action was always pretty sweet imo, great job on the video, gotta really love Ram Man as well, great character. ⚔

[@spectorcreative1872]

He was always amazing

[@MoteofLobross]

Ram Man was one of my favorites back as a kid. Funny this video came out a day before a friend sent me the Origins version for Christmas.

[@steve9021oh]

Great video Scott! I love that you always put out a video during my "wake up" time! Its a great way to start my day! thank you!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Glad you liked! And any suggestions for topics always welcome !

[@phantom1592]

Wow... Never saw the original designs for him before.... Gotta say, I think I like the growing dwarf named Jumping Jack Flash even better!!

[@geechie-don7157]

Excellent figure. I liked that the MOTUC stuck to his normal height like the mini-comics. I liked the Filmation one too, which kinda worked opposite of the mini-comics and clearly paid homage to his draft design.

[@oscarflores622]

this is one of my favorite character from classic line, in fact is the best version of this character, wow, the best upgraded ram man version

[@riaanvanrensburg3683]

Awesome video. Thank u so much. He was always one of my favourate heroes.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Ram Man and Ram Ma'am! The hits that keep on coming!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Never stop

[@babsbrit6300]

beautiful figure, spent 135$ on the after market. totally worth it when one misses the subscription and stuff.

[@swanofnutella4734]

I remember not liking the vintage toy. I didn't like that he felt more like a vehicle than a figure. That said, I also remember playing with him a lot. So, joke's on me I guess. Well played Mattel.

[@TrevorStasik]

Good Afternoon Scott, I've enjoyed seeing you pop up on a few other podcasts recently. Glad to see you advertising yourself and Spector Creative. Anyway, you brought up the packaging structure in this video - I think that could be an interesting topic for a future video. Thank you for your amazing work. Have a great weekend!

[@spectorcreative1872]

I have more videos on packaging in the way!

[@Themanchlid]

I'm happy I got my hands on both the matty and super7 versions of ram man! Super cool figure! I just wish he came with an alternative head without closed or squinting eyes.

[@JurassicRod]

Yeah I always hated the closed eyes look.

[@Themanchlid]

@@JurassicRod So it's not just me!👍

[@TheEyez187]

Still got my original Ram-Man, who still springs, and Mossman, who still smells! :D

[@benflay6038]

A good figure realy cool in classics I like the origins to one thing love on classic was the arms and face

[@FNHot]

You did a great job, he is my number 1 favorite MOTUC figure. He's the best of everything.

[@spectorcreative1872]

The Horsemen get the credit!

[@yellowgut]

This is one of the classics figures that really makes me regret missing the boat on this line.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Well I still hope it comes back some day

[@Bernhard2024]

I was never a big fan of Rammy, but in the Classics line he was stunning. No, he is stunnig!

[@spectorcreative1872]

The horsemen knocked it out of park

[@restock_1731]

I remember that I had this guy growing up. I wish I would have saved all my toys, really sad. Lol. I did have alot of pretty cool toys that got lost to moves, growing up and time. Funny thing is that I collect toys as an adult. Lol

[@thegeorgiealityshow359]

Ram man wasn't small he was just bouncing off into some action.I seen that episode b4.Happy holidays folks have a blessing Christmas & prosperous new year.

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

That bootprint is really cool. 😎

[@spectorcreative1872]

Right!

[@mikeyjhilli]

Now that you mention it, I would like to see a video about the real names. Especially since I had a question about them that popped in my head right before I saw this video. I'll hold off on it as it may get answered.

[@AintNobodyAtAll]

I LOVE that Classics Ram Man is not a dwarf. Him being a giant in 200X is one of my favorite aspects of him. But I don't like that he essentially has chronic post-concussion syndrome. In the version of MOTU that exists solely in my imagination, he enjoys history, gardening, and is home boys with Moss Man. :) And since you mentioned Disco Skeletor...man, I really wish he could have snuck out in Classics somehow.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Yeah me too

[@collincutler4992]

I recently found my original Ram Man

[@spectorcreative1872]

Worth finding!

[@knightwolfpro4494]

Prince Adam keeps being released as an accessory for other characters / items. First with Orko in Classics then the Sky Sled in Origins (stupid decision to add a main character with a small army building vehicle in my opinion). I'm not sure why you're surprised they'd keep using the "real" names you created in classics, they've become part of the lore that people use (unless you're Kevin Smith then the lore goes out the window).

[@spectorcreative1872]

Guy just can’t get a break

[@AintNobodyAtAll]

Hey, Kevin Smith got friggin Goat Man and Pig Boy into animation. That's worth something!

[@grimlock1471]

The economic and technical reasons never occurred to me as a kid, but I looked at OG Ram Man, saw that he had no neck articulation and thought, "Oh, that's so he doesn't hurt his neck." So the way 200x had his helmet separate from his shoulder armor always seemed wrong to me.

[@darkwoods1954]

I'm glad we got Tuskador out of this, such an amazing figure! As much as I like Ramman, I hated the closed eyes on the Classics figure. Really ruined the face.

[@mainelyretro]

Not brown nosing but I honestly think classics is the definitive MOTU line.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh that is just speaking factually

[@tonyjackson4078]

"Ramming Speed". Please don't hate my correction, it comes from love. Just like Man-E-Faces I felt He-Man's "second" line up of reinforcements really went out of the box in design. Ram Man gets picked on for his vintage version, but I know every kid had a Ram Man if they collected MotU and used the toy just like it was designed, barreling over baddies.

[@MoCa1979Jr]

I remember getting the vintage Ram Man as a kid & recall thinking how heavy he was. I prefer the 200X version of him being the "hulking muscle man" of the team (even making him less intelligent was also a nice touch). MOTUC was a great upgrade to the vintage & 200X versions. He's got more of a Ben Grimm (Thing) build, being tall, but not too tall, making up for it by making him exceptionally bulking. It'd be interesting to see more character that are created re-using his mold. The concept for "Hammer Holder" is quite intriguing , but I think he should also have a "gimmick" like Fisto. Give him a metal gauntlet (which won't be confused for a "metal hand", because it would be "regular" sized--like the vintage PoP Bow fig.), that can transform into a hammer (so he'll have dual weapons). I always thought "krass" was just a typo for "Krash" (aka "Crash") when I got my MOTUC fig. 🤣But I guess it was so good that the name is now canonized. Congrats. 👍

[@Chuloloc]

Classic figure.

[@frognanana4646]

Watching the cartoons when they initially aired I always thought Ram Man knew Adam's secret.

[@Daoloth]

I always liked the RAm Man toy growing up as could make it do the thing though I don't think I chipped the paint or rammed it into things. I could tell he was different from the others He-Man toys who were like my AWA Wrestlers. Its funny even somebody called Ram Man they will try to make Female hehe. I guess when Beast Man came he took a bit too much bris turning into Sis hehe. I thought he was supposed to be like Asian when I saw the head sculpting. Faker is my favorite though he had to be the most memorable from the line for his unique build and mechanism.

[@tommywalker5348]

mr guru I missed out on your classic figures 🤦‍♂️ not a one😪 so these revelation figures to ME are probably the closest I'll get to your classics🤷‍♂️ so that's why I hope this line succeeds so I can have a nice collection 🤞👍

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I think making Ram Man tall was a mistake, as it makes him too similar to Juggernaut. I like the idea of him being small and powerful.

[@barthakingsley6482]

Wow Spector, this is by far the BEST Ram Man ever made. That helmetless head sculpt, is it available in a weapons pack or head sculpt pack or simply compatible with the 200x?

[@barthakingsley6482]

Ram Man should probably be selling for more than any other MOTU Classic around $800

[@JediJunkie247]

When life closes a door...........call in Ram Man.

[@chauncey3759]

My favorite character growing up from motu. I missed out on the classic and now they are too expensive to collect for so I started collecting the origins I like them better than revelation figures.

[@joeholtster1891]

The new Ram Mam a cool surprise? LoL

[@lilformersmatt]

Still disappointed we neve got a Hans Hammerholder figure. Great reuse concept.

[@mikeyjhilli]

Ok. Ok. Ok. I got to take a guess since the clue is way out there. And this is without checking the other videos in this series. Jitsu.

[@AdrianCeroni]

I remember owning an original Ram Man but never noticing the locking mechanism. I remember him as being a hollow (literally) disappointment.

[@JurassicRod]

It's MA'AM! IT IS MA'AM!

[@DomCim]

The other character Ram Man reminds me of is Volstagg from Thor's Warriors Three.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I did not know about the shoe easter egg

[@gerrysabron]

Who is Ram man ? He is a $250 figure on eBay..glad I got him from Matty, obviously, he, Fisto, Beastman , & Trap Jaw would appreciate greatly over time..but if I didn't, I would have gotten the one from the current Origins line, since its what he's like in the 80 series

[@Daoloth]

Is that 250 loose for any Ram Man or just like the new ones? I think I still have my old one its been a while though.

[@robd1329]

Their all around $200 now! Matty was the time to had jumped into collecting this line

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Funny thing is, Beast Man was hanging around on the site for AGES. Took months and months for him to sell out after his second run.

[@gerrysabron]

@@Beedo_Sookcool got lucky myself with the DCUC two packs, some characters I missed as I wasn't sure if the line would continue, but was able to fill some void through them

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

@@gerrysabron Those were excellent packs! The only one I missed out on was He-Man vs. Superman, but as I already had a MOTUC He-Man, I wasn't too bothered about missing a slight recolour.

[@daximil]

I have been wondering what you thought about the Ram Mam character. Been wondering if she was supposed to be Ram Man's daughter, what with the whole "my helmet is the only thing I have left of my father" thing. But if that was also supposed to be Ram Man's name, then I suppose it puts that theory to rest.

[@TitularHeroine]

Not necessarily; a lot of names are unisex, and even though it's male children that are usually given the "Jr.", I know women named for their mothers too. Good theory I think!

[@machineman6498]

👍

[@adamofgrayskull7735]

🤘😜🤘

[@robertwishin2868]

It is a shame we couldn't get Hans and other characters using this buck. Really Skeletor needed a big battering ram kind of guy.

[@AaronJediKnight]

Speaking about the ewok battle ram, there was an episode of the animated series dedicated to it (Wicket's Wagoon) Do You think it was a 20 min comercial for a toy released one or two years prior, or a kind of wink for those kid who already had it?

[@SausageVillan]

Fun fact: Ram Ma'am pees in her own helmet on missions. Not sure why and not sure why they included this in the show. However here we are and now you get to be burdened this knowledge as well.

[@Daoloth]

Well better than doing it in my helmet ;).

[@nwobw]

Ram Man was one of the few outright masterpieces in the Classics line joining the ranks of Modulok, Merman, Teela, and Kobra Kahn; there are a few others. Ram Man is such a iconic and brilliantly designed character. It's also funny because I was always up for the orange card back repaint but I was never dying to get it. I actually bought 2 of the Super 7 orange Ram Mans. One to keep mint on card and one to display. I *love* the orange version. He's one of my absolute favorite figures in the line. I don't know why but the orange version really hits the nostalgia buttons.

[@chrisvellner3922]

I heard, someone tried to increase the value of the vintage RAM MAN figures, buying up as many as they could find. Creating an artificial shortage of the figure and cornering the market.

[@lalomontoyajr.9282]

Ram Man vs. The Juggernaut!

[@rootsnootthnute8598]

My Tuskador broke right out of the package, irreparably, so I've "had to" turn it into a giant cyborg Skelcon

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh no!!

[@tonlito22]

Ram Man isn't wearing a kippah, it's a a cervallier, the under-helmet helmet prominent in the High Middle Ages. Which fits Ram Man, if you're gonna use your head to bash through everything you're going to want some extra protection. Not that Ram Man couldn't be Jewish, though how Judaism got to Eternia before Queen Marlena is anyone's guess.

[@spectorcreative1872]

Oh it was a total joke. I know that isn’t a yammuka

[@BainesMkII]

Would it have been too expensive, or too fragile, or whatever to do a replacement leg gimmick? Full legs for 200X, swap to "short" legs for something similar to Filmation or the "loaded" version of the toy. Honestly, that seemed a better gimmick extra to me than a helmet-less head.

[@masterfarr8265]

they got Danny Trejo for him?

[@GenerationX-WingPodcast]

Love Ram Man. HATE the fact that funko only made specialized versions that people ask between 150-200 for here in Canada. Ridiculous!

[@spectorcreative1872]

Well Funko is Funko

[@grimlock1471]

What's RCR?

[@spectorcreative1872]

Rough concept review

[@nathanwallace3337]

Anyone else see Lee Marvin in helmetless Ram-Man?

[@thochaos13]

I just see French Stewart.

[@SirBlade666]

Most of the early figures and vehicles/beasts had a counterpart on the other side, so why wasn't there an evil counterpart for Ram Man in the original series?

[@TitularHeroine]

Dragstor maybe?

[@sxhbk]

whats rcr?

[@spectorcreative1872]

Rough Concept Review

[@PuertoGeekan]

I think you missed an "m" on "Ramming Speed."

[@spectorcreative1872]

Thanks, I’ll fix!

[@salud7432]

HODOR!

[@Warrior8bit]

Has Origins really been cancelled by Walmart? :(

[@BainesMkII]

With all the reused parts, did any company ever consider just creating tools for a bunch of parts, running them and then boxing them up to sell to collectors and fan artists as "create-a-figure(s)" kits? Done properly, it seems like a potential way to justify making tools for more "specialty" parts (heads, other limbs and bodies used for only one or two figures) as well as getting a bit more use out of more generic body parts. I'm guessing there just wouldn't be enough of a market to justify the extra work involved.

[@AintNobodyAtAll]

Mythic Legions KINDA does this. They have their regular figures, and then they have cost-reduced "legion builders" which have less paint and details. You can buy a bunch of different builders to mix and match parts. They've done deluxe builders with additional torsos and armor so you can swap things around.

[@charleschamp9826]

Do you think Ram Man is a descendent of the people of Zalesia? You know, the culture that, if their ruins are any indication, worshiped a great big Ram. Said ruins being the home of the Ram Stone, a mystical artifact that summoned Bash-Or, a ram shaped God who's whole schtick is crashing into and through stuff.

[@spectorcreative1872]

He isn’t but it is where his armor comes from

[@magnumrex]

The original Ram man is not only the worst motu figure, it's one of the worst figures of the era. I was so disappointed when I saw him in stores. The classics figure is great.

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

I've always hated Ram Man for some reason. He's like the Applejack of the team. Although, I kind of liked the female version from the new cartoon reboot. Go figure.

[@AntiDecepticonCampaign]

YUSSSS!!! First

[@AntiDecepticonCampaign]

Patrick Warburton. Like, how did they not get him or even think about it for revelations? 2x was a fantastic rendition and probably best but then classics happened.

[@spectorcreative1872]

No prize!

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

Ben Grimm is Jewish? this is awesome, i wonder if Thanos… wait, no, i’ll leave it

[@spectorcreative1872]

Wait what?

[@TheRetroDepot]

Im a life long MOTU fan, but the Netflix CGI show is AWFUL!
