They should make Evilseed into a figure.

[kylun flac]

was thinking about accessories for evilseed.
detachable/swap-able vine hand, plant blade hand & thorny vines to entrap his enemy's.

[Neal1972]

I wouldn't mind both versions, but if push came to shove I'd prefer the 200x version by some distance.
Anyway, it's cool that we'll be getting him at some point.

[Eternian Poet]

I'm in the camp for the Filmation version. He was a far more interesting character; the 2002 version fell into the common trap of "generic big bad who wants to capture Grayskull and is majorly powered up." Filmation's Evilseed was a bit more dangerous to my mind, as he was actually trying to begin a plant revolution, which likely would have meant no more animal life. A fanatic with a cause he sees as right can be a trully powerful foe. As far as the look goes, the 2002 version reminds me way too much of the animated version of Swamp Thing, so he feels way too derivative. Filmation's asparagus head was a pretty unique look.

Bingo!..........

[Baena]

I'd actually like to see a mix of the two designs if that's possible.

Love the more monster body the Filmation version had.
Love the spikes and tendrils of the MYP guy. I tend to like more his head design a little better too.

Maybe the Classics version is his own thing? "As though he were produced in the 80's!"

So with that last sentence, it'd be cool if he had two pairs of legs, a reverse if you will of Hiss, more like Mermista, where his legs could be switched out for vines and stuff?

I'm just ramblin' don't mind me.

[Eternian Poet]

I think we need two dolls:

EvilSeed
and
SeedofEvilSeed

I'm definitely pulling for the MYP Evilseed. It looked bad@$$!!! The walking vegetable wasn't my cup of tea even when I was 8 years old.

[KingRondor]

200X all the way.No contest

[Rassilon]

Yup 200x for sure! But we never seen the Filmation body so couldn't we just make an interchangeable head? What if they looked the same underneath? Also he should come with an extra hand shooting those purple vines AND a little baby killer plant!

[bribri4u]

200x all the way absolutely

[Telkan2]

The best way to deal with this is to make him as the 200x version using the MOTUC buck, then giving him the filmation head and brown cloak (similar to Marlena) to cover up his body, in the filmation series, you never even see his body under the cloak, that way if you want to make him the the filmation version, give him the cloak and filmation head and if you want the 200x version just take off the cloak and give him his new head, maybe a a shoulder pads to give him that high collar around his neck. Its the easiest way to give you both versions in one figure, u choose how to display him. No need to make 2 versions, just takes away from different figures.

This is the same thought I have--I think this is one of those rare cases where Matty can easily meet the wants of both Filmation and 200X fans in one-shot. As far as accessories go (in addition to the second head and robe): maybe a "bag" of magic seeds (Filmation) and some bendy vines to "shoot out" from his hands and feet.

200x Evil Seed for the win !

[He-Boy]

200X for sure! IMO Filmation is tragic by comparison – fish lips on an asparagus head.

Evilseed isn’t A-list enough to warrant two releases. I wouldn’t mind an extra Filmation head (to keep others happy) and maybe a cloak, but the design needs to be 200X IMO. He is one of the characters that I’m really looking forward to.

Yeah, seeing what inspiration the 4H can bring to an Asparagus headsculpt is frightening!

I think they should save the Asparagus for a spin-off line called Filmation Classics.

[Veebs]

FilMation version is much cooler design, he would be like nothing else in the display. That is the Evilseed that I want, original first. Plus, as some have already noted, his characterization was much better than the MYP version.

[Master Jokubas]

Personally, I think both of their heads look utterly ridiculous. He was still a memorable character, though, that deserves some figure or another.

[Chroniklor]

I'm a big fan of the '80 cartoons and toys and I always like to see many vintage feats in the Classics line. However, Evilseed is one of the few exceptions. Although I like his part in the original toons as well as in the new ones. As far as the design goes, I guess 4H is confronted with a real challenge here: if they could succeed in mixing some part of the original Evilseed (his toon version I mean, since he was never released as a toy) with the new one, that could be one hell of a figure. BUT, if I had to vote: a) 100% old school or b) 100% new school, I would most definitely go for the latter. 100% old school is just to silly, imo.
Further more I agree with Kylun Flac: give us vines and stuff :-)

[13977]

200x for sure never cared for the Filmation Evil Seed.
But what accessories do you think? Would a mini-evil seed be too much? I mean it would only be like getting a torso with Hssss. A thorned staff and sword would also be cool.

i would dig a 2-pack like that

i so want to have an Evil-Seed
i really like the character
would prefere the MYP-style
something like this:

Well, to each their own. Although I grew up on filmation, it isn't the end all be all for me.

For example, the filmation Roboto was a duck-billed robot who walked and talked with the characterization of a 1950's b-flick robot. Being from a place called Robotica didn't help any. Some would say that this filmation background story is superior to MYP's Chess playing strategist. I'd strongly disagree, but there are those who would say it.

Obviously, I disagree with your stance on filmation's Evilseed. I never liked the Asparagus headed character or his story but I did like the way they animated his demise. I think it was some of the best animation in the He-Man series.

Getting an Evil-Seed like that would ROCK!

How about the MO2K body with a removable Filmation cloak, and interchangeable heads?

I'd be all for it! In the past, I have noticed that there were some on these forums who had a problem with Mattel including the additional Mer-Man or Whiplash head because they didn't like it.

No one was forcing them to use the head, they weren't being charged extra for the additional head, and it wasn't even on the figure in package but there were still those who were upset it was included at all. It seemed pretty selfish to me.

Hey Mattel, quit giving us additional AND OPTIONAL stuff for free!

Glad I could find a solution everyone liked!

I personally prefer his Filmation look simply due to the symbolizing of it being from one of my all time favorite episodes.

I can see why people like the MO2K look though; so let's combine the best of both worlds; the Horsemen have shown fully capable
