There's also one of Karg, and the bio leaves something to be desired 🤢 (That's the original Star Comics Andra, not the Revelation one. Not that that makes it any better).

I talked to Townsend Coleman when these reels came up, he told me they recorded 5 or 6 episodes before the axe fell. Given that Challenger was less than two months away, I suspect Ghost Ship was indeed the single episode that Toei always claimed credit for animating.

The thing that gave me hope there was the filming schedule: couple of days on the streets of London versus an entire month at Wells Cathedral, along with three days down Wookey Hole. Not to mention all the sets at the Amazon MGM studio that were picked up by drone footage.

Simon Letch @simonletch.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Amazon MGM are supposed to be making a live-action She-Ra show, but who knows what's going on with that. In the meantime though, the most recent demo build for the beat 'em up game coming this year has her as the 4th playable character.

Even without going to Etheria, there are a load of women to choose from who've had maybe one cartoon episode or a couple of comics over the years. In my own writing, I made an obscure pull: Lt. Dian from the 80s newspaper strips (best described as "rank of an officer, attitude of a sergeant")

Especially as going off what we've been told, we would have seen her be the warrior that she once looked up to, representing the duty her friend abandoned.
