Ram Man's springs?
One very brief shot stuck in my mind as a child. In the episode "Wizard of Stone Mountain" Ram Man's feet are burnt by the Spirit of Evil causing him to leap into the air. The Filmation artists create a very nice, very brief comical moment where we see that Ram Man's legs really are just giant springs! I first saw this episode in 1984 and did not see it again until 1996; yet this shot always stuck in my mind!

Ram Man's legs look like spaghetti, here! :)
Good job capturing the full effect of the "spring legs," James. :)
The follow-up shot, that you once featured in the review of this episode, was amusing as well, with Ram-Man recovering as he sat on top of the chandelier! :)
Thanks for posting and reading! God Bless...

Got to love those springs man. I wonder if I am the only one who likes the spring leged Rammy. :P
Though it is goofy ( and I won't deny that) I find it quite useful for a character like Ram Man
Ram Man was always my favourite when I was a kid. And he still is. I even have a little Rammy on my keychain. I remember being a bit perplexed by the springs at the time, but now it just makes me love him even more.
I remember when you mentioned this on the Episode Review Website with Zadoc.
It's an interesting trivia about Ram-Man's legs and one I wouldn't have noticed myself.
Thanks for sharing it again in DVD screen-grab glory!
