Happy Horde Day!!! MoTUC Style

**Moondrake** · April 15, 2009, 10:24pm

Greetings from the Chicago Horde.

Today at the Graham Crackers comic book store in Wheaton, Il. the Chicago Horde held our open house style Chicago Horde meet and greet. We were giving out free 200X comics(thanks to Graham Crackers and JimmyPSHayes), had a He-Man cake!(Thanks Dynamo of Eternia) and the guys built a Castle Grayskull for the occasion. What would a Castle Grayskull be without hero's and villans to fight. Very special thanks to Mattel and Toy Guru for loaning us the figures! Enjoy the pics!

AWESOME pics!! Hordak and Man-At-Arms actually look like production figures and not prototypes! VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing!

Love the Mer Man picture!!!!!

**radrcks** · April 15, 2009, 10:45pm

Those pictures just made my day. You have no idea. I can't wait for Hordak and MAA now (not that I could wait before

) and I wish I didn't miss out on the figures that I did, hopefully they'll be rereleased soon.

That Castle Grayskull is EPIC!!!!

A Big thanks to Mattel and all of the fellow Chicagoland and .org Fans who helped make this event possible! Also, a big thanks to Graham Crackers Comics for hosting the event! The CHICAGO HORDE HAS THE POWER!!

I had a good time tonight guys.

**MossMan710179** · April 15, 2009, 11:07pm

Awesome as always!...

**Dynamo of Eternia** · April 15, 2009, 11:15pm

Here are a few pics that I took.

**Rainboy** · April 15, 2009, 11:19pm

Bah! Why was I not informed about this?! Lol, ok, maybe cause I'm not very well known around here yet...still, I was off today, and GCC of Wheaton is maybe 20 min. from my apt tops. I soooo could have been there! Would have loved to get a glimpse in person of MAA, Hordak, and Zodac before the general release. Nice job on the castle for all who worked on it, looks great!

**RockinHard** · April 15, 2009, 11:26pm

He-Man is actually the worst figure of the bunch to me. He'll look better, though, when they take that red away from his eyes. Even King Grayskull is a better looking FIGURE than He-Man, though I have zero interest in King Grayskull--or He-Ro for that matter.

**Zodach** · April 15, 2009, 11:45pm

Thanks for the large pics! Hordak's armor doesn't look that bad now that we've seen it up close.

**Dynamo of Eternia** · April 15, 2009, 11:54pm

Here's a pic of some MOC figures that were on display as well.

**whiteshadow2** · April 16, 2009, 12:38am

wooow..soo cool too bad I live nowhere nearby there..wouldnt forgive myself if i did and wouldnt have assisted..congrats for such enthusiasm and creativity Chicago Horde..you sure put the Heman collectors name high.

**donsegar** · April 16, 2009, 12:51am

Why couldn't they give Hordak the normal waist piece that all the other figures have? That longer fur makes his legs look too short.

**GrtEternal** · April 16, 2009, 01:38am

MAN! THESE ARE AWE-SOME!!!!!

I want all the MOTUClassics figures out NOW!!!!

That's a good observation. I didn't notice they used King Grayskull's loincloth for Hordak.

I hope they re-release He-Man with that loincloth. I like his initial released L-Cloth but I like the longer look.

That looks like you folks had a fun bash. Hopefully someday soon we'll have an annual Masters Of The Universe convention.

G.I.*JOE gets theirs, Transformers has one, it's our time now!
C'mon every body, say it with me, "I have the POWER!!!"

I was also curious to see how Hordak would look in this picture, because I noticed before in some pictures of a carded Hordak that he had KG's furry pants, but the prototypes we've seen from NYCC and the pictures from Matty have the regular loin.

So... Will Hordak be like the pictures on Matty or will he have KG's pants?

**Dynamo of Eternia** · April 16, 2009, 07:57am

To be or not to be.... that is the question...

**oICEMANo** · April 16, 2009, 08:13am

Nice exposure for the Classics line guys!!

**Tallstar** · April 16, 2009, 08:17am

Lucky!

*steals figures and makes a run for it*

**Son of Keldor** · April 16, 2009, 08:19am

No. Mattel helped out by loaning the figures for the event. We don't get to keep them. All of them are getting sent back. The only figure that wasn't from Mattel was the loose Skeletor. Since that one wasn't sent, I brought mine in to complete the display for the day.
