Smash Toledo aims to showcase local foodWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Josh Wagy eats out — a lot.
The self-described foodie has worked his way through the menus at several Toledo-area restaurants and now wants to share his knowledge by offering the "inside track" on local eats.
On March 24, the 33-year-old South Toledoan will officially launch Smash Toledo, a website where he plans to post videos highlighting one local eatery per month. The first video will feature Barry Bagels.
"Smash is going to go behind the scenes of Toledo's staple dishes, its new and upcoming dishes, chefs and people doing really cool stuff in the city," Wagy said. "The best way I can describe it is it will be simple and functional, like a Yelp or an Urbanspoon, where you'll be able to search restaurants, cuisines, areas."
The site will focus on the positives, Wagy said.
"I don't want Smash to turn into Yelp — and I'm not throwing them under the bus; I use them all the time — but when people are upset they definitely leave more reviews than people who had a good time. Comments are often about the server having a bad day; they have nothing to do with the food or the history of that place," Wagy said.
"I'm all about being critical of a place; I think that is necessary. But all places can have a bad day and Smash is going to be way more of a lighthearted thing, a way to say 'This is why you want to go to these places and support these people and what they're doing.'
"Every time you go somewhere and ask them what they do best and they say, 'Everything,' it drives me crazy. It's not true," Wagy said. "Chefs are better at certain things and restaurants are better at certain things. Yes, everything might be good, but there are a couple things that are ridiculous."
Try something new
Wagy said he hopes the project will inspire people to try something new.
"There might be a restaurant a mile down the road from them they never tried," Wagy said. "It's a comfort food thing, a comfort zone thing. Someone might have made you go eat somewhere and you loved it so you always go back there and you won't try the place next to it because you know this place is good. That's where the video comes into play. The power of video is amazing. We want to show people what they are missing out on."
Wagy said the hardest part will be choosing which restaurants to feature.
"Barry Bagels, Packo's, Mancy's Steakhouse — there's a bunch of places like that. Toledo staples that aren't going anywhere and they'll always be doing something fantastic," Wagy said. "Then you have a bunch of new places doing stuff no one else is doing, so there's going to have to be a mix of both. I'm not sure how we're going to choose to be honest with you. We'll get to everyone eventually, hopefully."
Wagy said he chose Barry Bagels to kick off the project because the eatery is a Toledo staple.
"That's the No. 1 thing I'm asked for when I go out of town: 'I need a dozen salt bagels,' or 'I need a dozen everything bagels. Don't show up here unless you have bagels,'" Wagy said, laughing. "When I'm not in Toledo for a long period of time, you do crave it."
Mark Greenblatt, president of Barry Bagels, and his father, owner Barry Greenblatt, said they were honored to be chosen.
"The fact he asked us first, I really appreciate it. It just goes to show how much he enjoys eating at our establishment," Mark said. "I saw the video and he did a great job. [Smash Toledo] is great.
"It's great for my industry and it's great for Toledo to get the word out about how many wonderful independent restaurants there are in the city of Toledo — and there are a bunch. It's really cool and we're quite happy he's doing it," Mark said.
Wagy was born in South Carolina, grew up in New Orleans and moved to Toledo with his family when he was in fifth grade. He graduated from Bowsher High School and the University of Toledo.
By day, Wagy is an industrial engineer at Fuse Tech Inc., which provides ceramic welding repair on glass furnaces. He also has a background in Web and graphic design. His wife, Emily, manages her family's South Toledo restaurant, Caper's Restaurant & Bar.
Wagy said he can't pinpoint exactly what draws him to food, but he loves eating and the experience of dining out. He also likes to support local businesses and try new things.
"I've lived in Toledo for a long time and people will ask, 'Have you tried this place?' and I'm like, 'I haven't even heard of that place,'" Wagy said. "It's amazing. That's the point of all this."
Wagy's father, Bill Wagy, was a television sportscaster in Toledo for years and his grandfather was a newscaster in Washington, D.C.
"I grew up in news studios," Wagy said. "I always kind of wanted to do video, but never really got around to it. But with me having such a huge passion for food, bringing them together just seemed like the right thing to do."
Generating buzz
Wagy started thinking about Smash Toledo about a year ago. He came across the name while browsing available URLs.
"I just loved the way it sounded," Wagy said.
Next, Wagy and his friend Jim Korte, a former Sylvania resident now living in Cincinnati, tweaked the logo for months before they were satisfied.
"He's helped out so much. He's unbelievable," Wagy said. "We've always gone back and forth like that."
The project has already generated a lot of buzz, including partnership offers and inquiries about expanding to other cities. Wagy said he has a lot of ideas about the future, but for now he's focused on launching a quality product in Toledo.
"It's been unbelievable. It's been really actually overwhelming. It's been amazing that everyone's been so supportive," Wagy said. "Right now, I just want to not screw up. I just want to keep going. It's funny because I've started other projects and Smash just feels like it's the right time, right place kind of thing. I definitely think that's why it's going to be successful."
Dozens of local restaurateurs have already come out in support of the project, many of them featured on a launch video posted at smashtoledo.com.
Sandy Spang, owner of Plate 21 in South Toledo, said she applauds Smash Toledo's new take on an old concept.
"It's a new format, but what Josh is trying to do is almost old-fashioned, like the old food critics that used to be out there and who were really powerful because they knew food and wrote really informed, meaningful reviews," Spang said. "As much help as Yelp is — I use it myself — everybody knows it can be kind of capricious.
"Josh is the real deal. His enthusiasm is infectious. He's got a passion for it. That's what I think is going to make Smash different — that knowledge, that passion. Josh is going to find the little treasures, the unknowns, the unsung. I think that's fantastic. He'll raise the level for everyone. I'm all about making Toledo the best it can be and I think Smash can help do that."
Dennis Chung, owner of KotoBuki in Sylvania, agreed.
"I thought it was an awesome idea and it seems to be going really well," Chung said. "Toledo is very food-oriented and Josh is very passionate about food. It's kind of a fresh new take on dining. It's something easier to digest, especially for the current generation who probably don't get their news from print as much."
Moussa Salloukh and Tony House, co-owners of Burger Bar 419, said Wagy has been a regular customer since the eatery opened in 2011 and they are both excited about Smash Toledo.
"This is something Toledo needs to keep everybody in touch with the local food scene," Salloukh said. "He promotes a lot of local restaurants out there doing cool stuff, so I think it's going to be a great vessel. He's doing great things with this. It's going to be big."

'McFARLANE'S EVIL PROPHECY' COMES ALIVE AT E3
Short Animation Trailer to Premiere; Todd Signs at Event
Tuesday, May 13, 2003
In a first for Todd McFarlane Entertainment, computer graphics and traditional animation have come together to create a 90-second spooky short to open the McFarlane's Evil Prophecy video game. This short movie intro will be available to view at the Konami booth at E3 May 14.
For more background on our work with Konami, click here.
The movie opens in the creepy chambers of Dracula and takes you on a short journey of the horrific world of McFarlane's Monsters. It cuts back and forth between scenes of the monsters -- Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, Voodoo Queen, Sea Creature and Mummy -- and their hunters, Doc, Chic, Pirate and Shaman.
The idea for an animated opening for the video game was first thrown around between TME President Terry Fitzgerald and Mitch Ueno from Konami while the two were working on Spawn for Color Game Boy. The idea was made a reality this year. Directed by Todd McFarlane and Graham Morris, it was produced by Fitzgerald with initial sketches by Greg Capulllo.
Debuting to the public on May 14 at E3 in the Konami booth, the movie will be available for all to see when the video game hits shelves everywhere later this year. Remember, Todd will be signing in the Konami booth at E3 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Make sure you visit the Web site again to catch the trailer that will be coming soon!

PICTURED ARE: AHS Bearcat Band at Orlando included (kneeling from left) Andrew Cole, Chad Lewis, Cory Lewis, Bailey Woods, McKinley Payne, Carley Wayman, Shanda Hindman, Megan Cole, Heather Cole, Jessica Blan, Elizabeth Rowland, Emily Dahl, Kelly Gage; (back standing from left) Faith Folsom, Silas Maple, Ryan Lewis, Conner Copeland, Hannah Maple, Noah Payne, Caleb Harrington, Crystal Mallett, Tripp Sanders, Dyllynn Bell, Andi Routon, Shylor Lawrence, Daniel Anderson, Tristan Baggett, Jacob Brandon, Travis Petty, Kassie Bell, John Ables, Jessica Armstrong, Kali Clark, Kara Cole, Katie Paredes, Samantha Headrick, Susan Anderson, Amber Freelove, Ron Potter, Miranda Mack, Samantha Miller, Heather Scott, Regan Leathers and Katie Mitchell.
The Antlers High School Bearcat Band spent their spring break in Florida. The group had been chosen to perform in the Universal Orlando Resort's STARS Performance Program.
The Universal Orlando Resort STARS Performance Program is a musical program that allows marching bands, concert bands, dance teams and choirs a chance to perform in front of an international audience. Each group who wants to perform must submit an application months ahead of time, submit a photo of the uniforms to be worn, and a DVD of a recent performance. Groups who are selected will then be invited to perform at Universal Orlando Resort.
Antlers High School Band and the Band Boosters have been planning this trip since May 2012. They have been having fundraisers and receiving donations in order to lower the cost down for the band students. Fundraisers they held included a Krispy Kreme donut sale, a Halloween dance, a cake auction and a garage sale. They also sold Bearcat cups, gloves, and food basket chances. Angie Holiman Photography held a fundraiser for them where she donated all the profits of a sitting fee for a family session to the band. This raised $900. Curtis Video gave the band the profits from band photos they sold. This raised $622. Jack Austin, councilman from Choctaw Nation, gave the band $1000. Pushmataha County Chamber of Commerce gave the band an $850 donation. First Bank gave the group $100. Masonic Lodge #39 of Antlers held a bake sale for the band and raised $1198 to go for the purchase of new polo shirts that the band wore for their performance. The band students and sponsors then put in the rest of the money for the trip.
The band journeyed to Florida in a double decker charter bus and arrived in Orlando on Saturday, March 16. The group then went to the Universal Orlando Resort's CityWalk where they dined at the Hard Rock Café. Afterward, they explored CityWalk.
On Sunday, the group went to one of the theme parks at Universal Orlando Resort, the Islands of Adventure theme park. They went to the other theme park, Universal Studios, on Tuesday of their trip.
On Monday, the group loaded onto the charter bus and headed southwest to Tampa Bay/Clearwater/St. Petersburg where they went to the beach and ocean at Fort de Soto State Park. The band students, and many of the adult sponsors, enjoyed their beach day. They had lunch with a catered BBQ meal from a local restaurant. That night, about half the group decided to catch a performance of the Blue Man Group while others stayed at the hotel and relaxed by the pool.
Tuesday, March 19, before the group headed into the theme park for their last day, they performed on the Plaza Stage center view of the two theme parks and in the middle of CityWalk. The band was awesome and gave an excellent performance. Band Director Ron Potter was very pleased with the band students.
After their last day at the park, the group had to load back into the bus and head back to Oklahoma. The 73 people from Antlers had a great time but were ready to get back home. The Antlers Band and Band Boosters would like to thank everyone in the community for their support in helping make this trip possible and giving them a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves rallied from a 3-1 deficit to secure a point in the standings, but the Charlotte Checkers grabbed the game-winner in overtime for a 4-3 victory Thursday night at the Allstate Arena.
Forwards Andrew Gordon, Anton Rodin, and Darren Haydar scored for Chicago, which has dropped back-to-back contests for the first time since Dec. 27 and 29.
"We started off great in the first, but then had some defensive breakdowns and found ourselves down 2-0," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "It was nice to come back and get a point, but Charlotte is a talented offensive team and we gave them time on the power play and they were able to score in overtime."
With Chicago (23-16-4-2) entering the third period down 3-2, Haydar knotted the score at three with 1:50 remaining in regulation. Working off the power play, forward Nathan Longpre skated down to the goal line and whipped a pass to the crease. Haydar's first shot was kicked out by Charlotte netminder Justin Peters, but the Wolves captain fought for the rebound and wasn't denied on his second attempt.
Charlotte (29-16-2-3) notched the game-winner 1:25 into the extra session when defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani faked a shot from the point, which froze the Wolves defenseman, and instead slid a pass to left wing Chris Terry at the side of the net. He beat Chicago netminder Matt Climie for the power-play winner.
The Checkers jumped out to a 2-0 lead with both goals coming in a three-minute span in the first period. The game's opening marker came at 8:36 when forward Brett Sutter walked into the slot and his shot was stopped by Climie, but he couldn't control the rebound and forward Nicolas Blanchard poked the puck over the goal line.
The Checkers second marker came after Climie played a dump-in behind his own net and left wing Justin Soryal beat the Wolves to the puck and tucked the puck past a diving Climie at 11:42.
Chicago cut its deficit to 2-1 with a power-play marker from Gordon at 5:10 of the second period. Defenseman Kevin Connauton's blast from the near point caught the back glass and the puck bounced back toward the net and Gordon swatted it out of mid-air past Peters.
Peters (19-11-1) thwarted 37 shots for the win.
Charlotte regained its two-goal cushion with a power-play goal at 6:59. Gragnani fired a pass from the near point to the crease when center Riley Nash was standing alone to redirect the pass over Climie's glove.

Channeling his inner Devo, Rings deep voice glides over hard beats. Part club music, part indie rock, "I'm Just Me" definitely improves on his sounds from his last album Special Affections which was already amazing. Boy dancers and Starck Club imagery punctuate the video with energy as we see Diamond Rings embrace his polished off new self.

A major network pulled an episode out of 'sensitivity' to the Boston bombings. It depicted a woman brainwashing children to kill other children. And we wonder why our society is like it is? I will no longer watch NBC News, either. The series is "Hannibal."
No power
Today, we ended up without electrical service. It appears that our power company, for some reason they don't think they have to call you and let you know you will be without poser – they just do it. I guess they have no way of calling people, or there's just too many people to call. There needs to be a system in place to let people know that they're going to be working on the lines, if it's nothing more than putting it on TV and radio locally first thing in the morning. It is a very big inconvenience, and yet they expect you to pay them promptly and on time. So something needs to be equalled out, here: if I'm going to pay you on time, you're going to let me know if you're going to cut my power off and inconvenience me.
Cutting pay
I wanted to say kudos to the person who called in the TalkBack recently about the sequestration cuts. I agree with that person: Why are we cutting the Americans' pay, but we're not cutting any of that foreign funding to any of these countries that absolutely hate us.
Sales tax
I recently saw an ad urging South Carolina residents to shop for large household items in Georgia because there is no sales tax for out of state residents. Sounds like a bargain, right? Well, here is what happened to me. I bought a leather sofa at a North Carolina furniture outlet. They didn't charge me sales tax, and I thought the transaction was finished. Two years later I heard from the S.C. Department of Revenue. I not only owed the sales tax, but also the interest on the sales tax, plus a penalty. Does this sound like a bargain?
Date night
Ah, the new date night destination for a romantic dinner – A parking lot to watch 18-wheelers deliver lumber. What a dining experience.
Gas prices
You noticed the gasoline prices being posted when they were high, so people could find the cheaper prices? That was a good idea. Why not for prescription drugs? Some of these places are really ripping off Medicare.
Why are the SRS retirees complaining? They are the ones that raised the cost of health care in this area.
Why should a student go to high school for four years, when he or she could complete all requirements in three months and take a G.E.D. equivalency test?

Your living room should be welcoming to family gatherings and visiting guests. The window treatments you choose should help create this inviting atmosphere while at the same time protecting your furnishing from harmful UV rays and tempering the heat gain from direct sunlight. Here are some ideas for living room window treatments to help you get started.
Living room window treatments such as sheer shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will softly filter light while blocking UV rays. Wood blinds and shutters can bring the warmth of real wood into your home while providing great light control and privacy. For rooms with a sliding door, there are great alternatives to the traditional vertical blind - instead, try a modern panel track blind or a vertical sheer blind. Many of these products come in fabrics that coordinate to other window treatments, such as roman shades, to give you a matching look for all your windows.
Specialty lift options can offer flexible choices for operation and light control. For windows that are very high or difficult to reach, motorized lift or tilt options available on many blinds and shades to let you control the shade remotely. Top down/bottom up is another great living room window treatment that lets in light from the top while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom of the shade closed.

Compulsory pooling issue elicits questions, concerns
No risk, no reward.
It's a simple mantra that applies as easily to investing as it does to deciding whether or not to sign a lease with the energy companies that will likely be coming to Lee County en masse once hydraulic fracturing begins, according to state officials who visited Lee County on Friday morning.
The Compulsory Pooling Study Group of the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission [MEC] held a meeting at the McSwain Center on Tramway Road to disseminate information to the community and address questions and concerns from locals. For those who missed it, Study Group Chairman Ray Covington — a Lee County landowner himself — said he has tentatively scheduled another such meeting at the same place for Feb. 8. and that all the documents presented Friday will soon be available online at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/mining-and-energy-commission.
Noting several times that most North Carolina laws governing compulsory, or forced, pooling were written in 1945 and haven't been updated since, Covington and several experts and other commission members reiterated to the audience that they will be starting nearly from scratch while writing rules and, as such, they value input from those who will be affected.
"We need to make sure that the work we are going to be doing in the next six, seven months ensures that North Carolina has the best regulations in the country," Covington said.
Forced pooling — in which landowners who don't want to take part in drilling can be compelled to do so if enough of their neighbors sign leases with oil and gas companies — is governed by different rules depending on the state. North Carolina's 1945 law, including all the regulations and guarantees given to property owners in such a situation, is a paltry three pages long.
Because there are almost no regulations in that law — except for the protection of surface water rights and a few other matters — owners who sign a lease and include the proper stipulations can get many guarantees. Those who own property that's forced into a pool, and who don't sign a lease, are given almost no rights.
Some of the perks that could be attained only through a lease (or improved regulations) include but aren't limited to:
* A bonus payment per acre of land.
* Royalties for gas production higher than the minimum 12.5 percent, plus details on how the royalties were counted and the ability to audit the process.
* Access to a list of hazardous materials that will be used.
* Replacement of structures damaged by mining activity.
* Fair market value for damages to crops or timber.
* The ability to establish a buffer zone between drilling activity and water sources, livestock areas, etc.
* Advanced notice, or even consent, before a company can transfer the lease to another company.
* Renewal terms shorter than the standard 10 years.
* Tougher environmental regulations than are provided by the government.
With everything in that list — and much more — not guaranteed by current state law, presenter John Humphrey said there's a clear disparity between the rights of energy companies and the rights of landowners.
"There are huge gaps in regulation. ... There's an enormous need here, if there's going to be pooling, that landowners get protection," said Humphrey, a Sanford native and property attorney in the Washington, D.C., area. He said that even if the regulations the MEC comes up with aren't what local landowners are hoping for, they can always get better deals through a lease, especially by joining forces to form a pool of their own in order to gain more bargaining power by controlling more acreage.
But like anything, there's a downside. The leasing company could go bankrupt and leave owners strapped. Also, there are many people morally opposed to fracking — at least a dozen vocal ones showed up at Friday's meeting, getting into spats with Covington and MEC Chairman Jim Womack, who is also a Lee County Commissioner — who might oppose their neighbors in such a venture. And in many states where forced pooling does occur, only those who consent and sign leases have to help pay drilling-related operating costs up front.
If there's little or no gas to be found, there's no way to recoup those costs through royalty payments. But if there is gas, lease-holders get paid back in part from shares of the royalties given to the non-consenting neighbors, so the money from the gas company's royalties are pure profit. It remains to be seen if North Carolina will follow that precedent or not.
Some members of the audience wanted to expand the conversation beyond property rights and regulations, and into the realm of environmental regulations. They asked what would be done about fracking fluid from a neighbor's property contaminating their water supply, for instance, which Womack said is a non-issue since government studies have never discovered such an instance.
"We will probably err on the side of caution, but we won't write a rule based on speculation or conjecture," he said. "We won't write a bill that makes it so onerous on the drilling companies that they will never come here."
And when critics cited reports of animals found poisoned near drilling sites, among other anecdotes, Womack again said the Environmental Protection Agency has never found proof of a well contaminated by hydraulic fracturing — and that he can only write laws based on science and not on unconfirmed beliefs, even if they're held passionately.
"There are people who say they've been taken up in UFOs as well," he said, eliciting shouts of outrage from the audience before Covington got the meeting focused back on landowner rights.
Finally, Covington said, he wants to hear from people both sides but has not yet been contacted by any skeptics or critics despite repeatedly asking for comments from the general public. He said anyone who wants to talk landowner rights can call him at (919) 775-5227 or (336) 312-3320 or can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The next local meeting of an MEC group will be Wednesday from 9-11 a.m. at Central Carolina Community College's Emergency Operations Center, with a session of the Local Government Regulation Group, which is led by Sanford City Council member Charles Taylor.

Madam Razz and Broom definitely MUST look like they did on the Filmation POP cartoon.
Ram Man has already had 2 versions released. If Madame Razz had already had her time to shine like a character such as Ram Man then I would say absolutely, go ahead and give us a new interpretation. I would be shocked if this happened though. When we FINALLY get The Great Rebellion's den-mother witch I believe (and hope) that she will be straight out of Filmation land just as Shadow Weaver is.

Madam Razz and Broom definitely MUST look like they did on the Filmation POP cartoon.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Dylamug - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets - King Ahgo - Filmation Grizzlor, Mantenna, Leech, Modulok and Multi-Bot
UPDATE: Hey everyone, I just created a group to support Madame Razz and Broom's inclusion in MOTUC. If you're a fan of them (or POP in general) then please head on over to the group page and sign up so we can build our ranks and drum up support! We need these two (and characters like Kowl, Loo-Kee, and the Twiggets) to make our core whispering woods group complete!
I also just added some fantastic pipes including a lot of fan art and customs I'd never seen before. So head on over already!

Since Razz and Broom never had vintage figure releases, chances are highly likely they'll get Filmation design treatment. She might takes some tooling to be able to ride on Broom without falling over.
I hope the 4H give Madame her nice bubble ass (Madame Razz charm ). The other ladies in the line are too pancake in the back.
Lol, she better arrive in all her frumpy gloriousness ... If she's not released in 2013 or 2014 I think I may explode!

My Feedback
God save the Queen Zhal!
It's great art but the 200x styled Razz & Broom is not how this Filmation staple should look in classics IMO.
I don't get it, is this some sort of big" Snakes on a Plane"-type joke I don't get, or do people actually want Madam Razz (with Broom)?
I'm new to these forums, so maybe I'm missing something here. Every time I hear people talking about the new figures they want, I always hear people say "Madam Razz & Broom." Seems kind of silly. Are people actually serious about wanting this figure, or is this some sort of ironic joke that I'm not getting?
(I looked for a good thread to put this in, but couldn't find anything so please excuse and move if I'm in the wrong place)
There is a Madame Razz discussion thread that this would best be discussed in. And yes, I want Madame Razz and Broom. She is in my top 10 most wanted figures.
Personally I find it a bit silly to criticize people for wanting to have any MOTU/PoP characters as a figure. This thread I'm sure will be merged or closed soon, but please be a little more considerate and open minded in the future
I know this thread will get moved, but I don't get it either? She has zero appeal for me, granted I didn't watch POP when I was younger but I thought I had seen episodes and she seemed like an even worse Orko? I wish Hordak would have just eliminated her as she would have been easy prey But for some reason the fanbase seems to love her? Again I don't get the appeal, but she'll be a character I have to live with getting along with that damn bunny after watching Toyguru's presentation at Toyfair (I'm imagining that Plundor will be the unexpected Filmation figure in that sub)
Why would it be weird? People wanted Orko, right? Maddam Razz was basically the Orko of POP, and Broom is always with her. These are amongst my most wanted figures, too... much more so than anyone shown so far in the Filmation sub (which I did sign up for), and more than most of the characters released in the vintage POP toyline.
In the name of the Lloyd!
She's She-ra's version of Orko. Personally I never liked the character, but she was VERY prevalant in the cartoon... and as one of the '3 others that share her secret'... she's a LOT more important to those fans than people like Shokoti and Icer...
PErsonally I hate Orko too... but in a world that tolerates Orko's existence... Madam Razz is no less important, and should have had a figure back in the 80's...
Frankly THIS is what I want from the filmation license. Filmation Randor, Madam Razz, Marlena, Sea Hawk, hover robots, Things that we saw all the time on the tv show... but never had toys of.
One shot villains like Icer and Batros??? I don't care about them.
That being said, regardless of her appearance, Madame Razz and Broom did appear in most episodes of She-Ra (every episode if you count the credits) so she definitely was a prominent character who many fans love. I don't think anyone's joking who says they want her.
I serve up lots of hot, fresh action figure reviews on Action Figure Barbecue!
"We have a Ram-Man"
For me growing up, I did watch the POP cartoon along side He-Man. I can't say that I remember too many specific episodes, but in general I remember watching it. And in particular, I was (and still am) a big fan of The Secret of the Sword. I remember seeing it in the theater and renting it a few times on video (before obtaining a used VHS copy from a video store in the mid 90s, and then of course buying the DVD a few years ago).
She has similar appeal as Orko. If you happen to hate Orko, well, then you probably won't like Maddam Razz either.
Back in the 80s, most of the regular, major, reoccurring characters that were in most episodes of He-Man were made into figures at some point in the vintage line (with the likes of Randor and the Sorceress being pretty late in the line). About the only major character that I can think of that didn't get a figure was Marlena, and we have her now in MOTUC.
With POP, there was a good handful of regular occurring characters (including the Horde) in the cartoon that never got made into toys at all like Shadow Weaver, Scorpia, and Maddam Razz & Broom. That combined with the fact that the POP toy line from the 80s was aimed at girls, were made into fashion dolls, and some of the main character differed greatly from their cartoon looks.
Now with MOTUC, we are getting the characters in their most iconic looks, characters that we never got at all before, etc. Maddam Razz very much falls into that.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to criticize anyone, I'm just honestly confused. I wasn't sure if it was something like "Madam Razz with Broom!" lol wink wink nudge nudge kind of joke thing like Snakes on a Plane or "Derpy Hoof" Brony type thing, or if she was an actual important character on the show somewhere (keep in mind that I haven't seen all the original MOTU episodes, and 0 She-Ra). But saying that she's She-Ra's Orko makes sense to me, thanks!
I have no data to back this up, but I think POP fans tend to be a little more voracious than your average MOTU fan. They're a kind of superfan that wants everything related to POP in every imaginable variation. You rarely see someone who only kinda likes POP, at least on this board. That's super cool in its own way.

I can't of course talk about the seriousness of others on the forum. But for my part, I'm dead serious in wanting Madame Razz. She may have been there mostly for the comedic relief, but if we take a long hard look at Princess of Power cartoon, well, most of it is comedic relief. Besides the cartoon, she had a major role in many of the vintage books, many I happen to like even though I'm no fan of She-Ra.
Very vast majority of MotUCs are basically just a bunch of parts reused+new armor+new head. Madame Razz would bring welcome variety. And having already most figures from previous lines, I'm not also quite sure if I need some of the characters for the 35th time...There has already been, and undoubtedly will be more, figures which I see as a waste of character slot. But she's not one of them.
"She-Ra, Princess of Power was no more. That had been the price of freedom."
