Zodac has been set in the past with King Grayskull. Zodak is the present enforcer. We can introduce a new character called Zodax and he can be the future enforcer, set in the NA future.

This is the "alien zodac" version from the sketches of 200X series.
Green skin, robotic legs...
What do you think?
As far as I'm concerned the more cosmic enforcers the better. I've already done a mockup of what "Zodax" might look like.

I don't think he looks too bad all buffed up either. If they made him this way he'd require very little new tooling. He just needs a new head, belt, and hands (that would double as Tung Lashors).
Awesome, awesome awesome. But, help me out...was this actually used anywhere, or is it pure concept sketch? At any rate, I don't see Matty giving us lots of variations on the limb size, which is a shame, because it'd be nice to see some variety in dimensions (a short, wide Ram man, for instance).
I'd be fine with both. A group of enforcers would be neat. Sort of like the Green Lanterns of MOTU.
Works for me! I wouldn't even mind him with the standard MOTU body like Battle Brak showed.
this is kinda being covered in the polls section:

if i remember correctly this was the zodak we were going to get, but it was reworked into the one some of us know and love when either mattel or MYP asked for a little ethnic diversity in the cast. so alien zodak was scrapped and we got black zodak instead.Quote:

Brilliant concept, Battle Brak! I kind of hope he gets more armor to cover the torso, but that's really a great conceptualization.
I think he appeared in silhouette in the MVC comic along with other Cosmic Enforcers. Also there was a member of the Council of Wisdom (with He-Ro and Eldor) that featured a character of the same species appearing in issue 6 of Vol 3. Mattel can ignore it not, although if they used Wundar...Quote:

Actually, I kinda like the idea of Zodaa, Zodab, Zodac and so on, all the way to Zodaz. It's just that Zodac and Zodak are the only 2 we've been introduced to so far. :hmgrin:
when did zodac and zodak get spilt in the story i just thought the toys were a added fan bonus
I love your mockup and the idea of reussing the Tung Lashor hands is great.Quote:

I wouldn't mind if another Cosmic Enforcer is made but how about changing the color scheme a bit. How about black skin? There are a lot of MOTU characters with green skin already. The only one with black skin that I can think of off hand is Stinkor. The "future" is usually portrayed as a colder place so what better way than to have a black-skinned Cosmic Enforcer with silver armor (technology symbolism. I like Battle Brak's color scheme for the lower half of the mock up except how about some blood red inserts on the thigh pads. The Chest armor would be silver and the markings on the armor would also be blood red. The gloves silver and the helmet would be silver with blood red higlights. Just my thoughts on the subject.
Why stay with red. Lets mix it up with a dark blue outfit or black. Also, I thought it'd be cool to have a female enforcer.
Give me Zopdax!!!
I love that mock-up, Battle Brak! I wasn't sure about seeing him bulked up, but it could work! I really hope to see this character included in MOTUC. I also like the idea of a female enforcer. Toss me a Strobo as well and I'm a happy camper!
Hell, I'd buy him. Keep him in red though, please. Where did you find the original sketch from? I thought the Horsemen didn't do sketches.
I want one!
Nice work on that pic BB
I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to get him for MOTUC; especially if he keeps his E.T. like arms. I'd also prefer him green to go with with his "little green man" alien look. While you can mix up the design a little, I feel all of the "Enforcers" should keep their armor red & white(sort of like the various designs but always green uniforms of the Green Lanterns).
i would by that figure if they made it.
=)
Zodaq - I like that spelling better, as it ends with a hard 'k' sound, making all three names exactly the same when pronounced... X denotes a "ks" sound, like plural Zodacs.
As for the proposed figure, if Mattel cut every corner, gave us nothing but the basic repainted body with new hands and colors... I'd still be elated! The Cosmic Enforcers are a great concept, and the 4H Zodaq was a good idea to rejuvinate a boring, forgettable vintage character (Zodak was an equally good retake, btb).
Bring him on. I probably wouldn't buy more Zodaces after that, but the three major iterations of Big Z would totally make my shelf!
Yeah, i'd love to have the 4hm designed alien Zodak in toy form.... name it whatever you want... I'd just like to have that design in figure form on my shelf.
the mock up works for me.... if & when we get a tung lashor (for the hands), we could just make our own.:skgrin:
As a huge GL fan, that concept has great appeal for me.Quote:

Maybe the 4H had this idea in 200X already...
How do I manage it to show you pics like above that everybody can see it and no-one needs to click on the hyperlink?
