** Supplementary material often went back on forth on who was She-Ra's friends or enemies. Castaspella is unambiguously good in the Filmation cartoon, but some media made her a villainess. Entrapta was a villainess in the cartoon, but was neutral and on somewhat friendly terms with She-Ra in the comics. One confused reader even sent a letter in asking about the latter.

* FollowTheLeader: Creator/{{Galoob}} Toys tried their hand at a competing line with ''Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones'', a range of female warrior figures that mimicked the ''She-Ra'' aesthetic mixed with a bit more ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'' (which resulted in the characters wearing skimpy outfits that could easily be mistaken for 1990s Creator/ImageComics), and had the rubber band legs of ''[[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse MOTU]]'' figures. It didn't catch on.
** Based on the trademark dates it may have been more that they were trying to do the same thing (create a version of He-Man for girls) at the same time rather than specifically copying She-Ra. The trademarks for the two lines were filed only ''weeks'' apart.
** Ironically Galoob's decision to make their figures an inch taller completely ruined any cross-compatibility with clothing accessories once the two lines were released, which no doubt hurt sales further.

* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: For whatever reason, few of the characters looked at all like their toys did- minor changes included Hordak (recolored mostly blue and without the cape) and Bow (given facial hair and a heart emblem on the chest), from major changes such as Catra (completely different outfit), Imp (red winged demon to blue pig-like winged comedy relief) and She-Ra herself (again, completely different outfit not to mention swapping her unique sword for what was basically He-Man's blade with a jewel). Most notable is the Crystal Castle, which was originally a pink, glitter-covered palace, which in the show, became a tall, golden tower whose visage closely resembled She-Ra's helmet. This actually caused some fandom complaints when ''Classics'' used the Filmation models as the basis for the toys (the exception being Hordak- toy colors for the main release, cartoon colors as an exclusive), with only two toy versions released (Bow with alternate parts, and Bubble Power She-Ra).

** She-Ra's original name was going to be 'She-Ro', as a MythologyGag to He-Man's original planned name of He-Ro. Lou Scheimer felt that the name didn't sound feminine, and it was writer Larry [=DiTillio=] who came up with She-Ra - inspired by the Egyptian god of the sun.
** Adora's name was also considered to be Eve, as ThemeNaming with Prince Adam. This was dropped since the characters were twins. Glimmer was also changed from Shimmer, because the former was easier for the voice actors to say. Hordak was originally called Reaper.
** Spirit was also written to be female, but was changed to male. Also, in the FiveEpisodePilot, only Swift Wind is able to speak. It was later changed so that both could speak.
