🎄 Filmation’s space western gets a dickens of a backstory.

💬 Topics & Tangents: 

The Fisher-Price Western Town I used as a backdrop for the much larger Bravestarr action figure. 

Joey’s interview with Pat Fraley (Marshal BraveStarr). 

This episode uses flashback scenes from the movie “BraveStarr: The Legend,” which explains why the animation quality isn’t consistent. 

Young Tex Hex looks like a purple Faker from “He-Man.” 

Stampede, the show’s even bigger bad, grants Tex Hex the power of transformation, because Filmation really wanted to teach kids that things that transform are evil. 

The “present-day” husband of Tex’s former love, Ursula, looks like Fred Ward. 

The time BraveStarr found a kid dead of a drug overdose.
