From international shipping issues at Mattel Creations to the Walmart "Cancel Con" debacle, in an effort to give a voice to the community, He-Mania.com tries to focus on issues impacting that community. And today, we thought it might be beneficial to shine a spotlight on frustrations some have been experiencing for years with a project called "Faking Filmation". "Faking Filmation" is a proposed documentary that surrounds a classic Filmation-like "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" fan episode titled the "The Return of Faker" by He-Man super fan James Eatock. It was a clever idea: repurposing backgrounds, character models, animation…
We have the Power!
Never heard about this before. I’m glad I didn’t because I would have slapped down the $99 to be in the episode for sure!
Great that you are shining a light on this!
I only pledged to get a DVD of the whole project.
If Faker is not on it, that defeats the purpose…
Films take a long time, but yeah, pandemic and all, it would be nice to get to the finish line.
I can’t afford that Eternia Set on the aftermarket!
No one asked for my likeness. I thought it was just me but I can tell now that it's a lot of people. Can he get my likeness in the episode in time if he showing it in Sept.?
I didn’t follow this, how many people were actually supposed to get their likeness in the episode? It has to be a lot and don’t see it happening. That extra 80k is probably long gone
James said in his response he promises to deliver on the likeness. I wonder if that means only emailing people digital images or does it mean everything including adding everyone to the Faker episode. It should be both. Maybe he has time to do it but I doubt the discs will be ready for Power-Con.
Does anyone know how they can show Return of Faker at Power-Con now? Isn't not being allowed to show it the whole story of the documentary but now they can show it? I don't get it.

That is a good question. If there are hundreds of likenesses to add how will they all fit in one episode? Unless the plan is to make 100 different versions of Return of Faker and each version has a different likeness.
@firefly Do you know how that is supposed to work?
🇺🇸 SNOUT SPOUT FOR PRESIDENT 🇺🇸
I'm confused - if they received the money in 2021, then why hasn't James even started work on the likenesses for the last 5 years? I'm not a backer but this seems outrageous to me.
@He-Dad I'm not sure exactly how the likeness will work out. I'd be surprised if we each got our own individual version or a lot of screen time, but I hope it is more than just a one second pan to a big crowd of backers that you have to pause quick just to see yourself. I don't know how many picked the likeness thing as it was a later add-on, so I don't see a direct number on the Kickstarter website like I do the initial items.
