He-Ro: Son of He-Man: Return of the Rant...

I was writing a REALLY LONG RANT about He-Ro: Son of He-Man, when I realized I already had done so last year. I still stand that it doesn't work and that it diminishes the whole He-Man and She-Ra thing.
There ARE some pictures of the pitch for that series floating around.
 No, Skeleteen is not there, but Since Toyguru loves him so much, here's Skeleteen... (and there we go... Now we're back on poking fun at the bad things that Neitlich allows!)  I'll be honest and blunt. The design for Skeleteen is ABSOLUTE CRAP! He looks more Monster High than MOTU. Now, I am not Completely against the "Son of Skeletor" becoming a nuisance to Adam and Company AFTER he vanquishes evil from Eternia. Something along the lines of Shocker and Rhino than Green Goblin or Doc Ock are to Spidey. Now back to Skeleteen's design... Mohawk plus Ponytail, shirtless with a sleeveless trenchcoat... The Eternian Leatherman... Pair him up with Rio Blast, Mini Comic version of Garn, Lt. Spector  and we could see the beginning of the Eternian Village People and yeah they stay at the Young Men's Zoarian Association! What? I had to get that one out of my system... If Eternos had a Navy, I would have made a reference to In the Navy and Macho Man has been overplayed for MOTU already.

 So, how to Make Skeleteen better? I say Look at Frigging HR:SOH SKELETOR!!! He looks like the Love child of Skeletor AND Shredder. take that, add Skeleteen's masked face with a sort of Helmet to evoke Skeletor and you have a more credible threat. If someone wants a more SOH Accurate Skeletor they can always pop on a Skeletor head. THAT would have been a Win-Win Scenario.
Village People Reject, not so much.

Now that brings forth Dare/He-Ro II (since Classics has the Original He-Ro on it)
That design is meh... It's pretty much NA He-Man's head on He-Man's body and A shoulder pad. Also, Riding Battle Lion...
He needs SOMETHING so he doesn't look TOO Derivative of He-Man. IF Dare/He-Ro II has to show up in Classics... Knowing Toyguru, he'll find a way to do so... He planted the seeds with the 2013 King He-Man figure. (not to mention Sir-Loser-Lot and Spector)
Dare needs something better than this  design from the alleged 90s pitch.

Another Reason why I'm against the He-Ro: Son of He-Man idea is that Making more toys... er, characters. We already have a buttload of characters that need development to entice the kids into getting them BEFORE relying on new ones. Rio Blast, Clamp Champ, Ninjor, Kayo, Quakke, Spinnerella, Double Trouble all come to mind.
The New Masters of this era are: Gimp suit Ram Man, Gimp suit Man-e-Faces... (Looks a bit like Spector.)
Air-Bag... He blows! Also we have a dude who is into jai alai  which I honestly don't understand and an albino replacement Teela. The closest to an interesting toy is Jai Alai dude... Followed by Albino Teela.

There is a reason why some things never leave the concept or pitched ideas stage. I think this one should have stayed there... But IF we must have some representation of He-Ro:SoH then, a Dare vs Skeleteen set should be enough.
