MOTUC Visions: Orko

**radrcks** · April 12, 2009, 01:35pm

I really like the design and look of your Orko, but is it just me or does the picture of the ball jointed head make him look like a duck.

**RocketPunch** · April 13, 2009, 08:22am

He looks a little too chubby to me. I'd also like his cloak to be a little longer.

If the Classics figure ends up looking sort of half-way between the 200x version and your design, Emiliano, then i'll be very happy.

**Slackbot** · April 13, 2009, 08:26am

Excellent work. Looks just like the Filmation Orko. It blew my mind how they could foul up that simple a design when they made the '80s toy.

My one critlike comment would be the hands. I know that generally action figures are meant to hold things in their hands, hence the kung-fu grip, but I'd think that outspread fingers would be more appropriate for a magician.

This is the way Orko should have been done in the vintaje line, and later in 200X!!!
It's excelellent!! As usual, coming from you, Emiliano!

**Vorgon** · April 13, 2009, 05:06pm

That Orko is so friggin awsome.I hope that we get him soon.

**oICEMANo** · April 14, 2009, 03:26am

Well thats as much a Classics Orko as anything!
Good job Em.

**Mike Bock** · April 14, 2009, 09:42pm

Orko looks great man! I love the scale!

**AnnnaMot** · April 17, 2009, 11:14am

looking good , He should come with his magic medallion

**keldor18** · April 17, 2009, 11:25am

It would make a great addition to man at arms accesories!!! (lets hope)

**Mike Bock** · April 17, 2009, 01:47pm

Oh cool it's almost Saturday. I can't wait for another one!

Looks Great. I hope the new fig will have a removeable hat though. Like The original

Extra cute

**ghost lion** · April 18, 2009, 08:40am

Anything less than that would be a crime. That is spot on!

**artodron** · April 18, 2009, 05:09pm

Spot on Orko! I think it'd be cool if you designed a wand & amulet accesory

**Scorpia** · April 18, 2009, 06:03pm

Emiliano, you know I would buy these in a flash (and I stopped collecting!). I just wish Mattel would wake up and utilise this potential - I'm curious about Hasbro though!!

Thanks!

I'm doing, guess what, action figures design for them.
Of course I can't talk what that is about for legal reasons, but I'm having a blast

It isn't much different from doing what you're seeing in these threads, but it's also a paid job and I'm pouring all my efforts into it because I enjoy designing Action Figures too much!

If was working for MOTU, Mattel would have the added bonus of my heart, but... *shrughs*

But we still have the 4H keeping up the Honor of Graykull for us!

**wilee4** · April 19, 2009, 09:48pm

i love this but if i had 2 requests it woud be that one hand would have the pinky, thumb, and index finger outstretched for the magic element and that the eyes have some sort of movable feature. since orko is so limited in expression and posability having eyes that could even just rotate slightly would add a lot. just my 2 cents

**Ghost of Vapor** · April 20, 2009, 12:47pm

No! Orko is dead, DEAD I tell you! He doesn't exist in MOTUC!!!!

Filmation intorduced Orko, so to me that's the definitive version.
How I execute them hasn't to do with my personal preferences and design style.
I try to follow the same logic the 4H do: Eric Treadaway went back to the source and tryied to portray the first 8 figures like they had been designed by Mark Taylor at the avery beginning.
So I wanted to go to Orko's root as well, and give a portrait of what he was at the beginning and how he's creators envisioned him.

Which, we must admit, is still the most iconc and recognizable look for Orko ;-)

That's why I hope no one is expecting anything fancy or crazy by this collection of designs.
For that I have a bunch of unseen 2002 designs I may post later on ;-)

I love your orko...

but for a figure.. he looks a little chubby.. maybe he should be a little leaner

(not much) just about 15% or so....

I love your artwork!

if you ever do a portrait or something or all the people you should sell it

**CRAZYMOTUFAN** · October 5, 2009, 05:08pm

Again, awesome work. Hope to see this little guy in figure form soon.

**eternios** · October 5, 2009, 07:59pm

**PaoloKr** · October 8, 2009, 05:19am
