Eldor in MOTUC

**LemonLimeGygor** · July 23, 2012, 08:05pm

I'm surprised we got so many other concept characters before Eldor. It would be such a weird gap in the line if he never got released while dudes like Vykron and Fighting Foe Men have.

**jzachery** · July 23, 2012, 08:14pm

I think he's a must have. I know that they want to focus on the rest of the vintage line, and the heavy hitters from NA and POP, but I think Eldor SHOULD be done too. I hope Mattel considers him important cannon.

Ya know... After looking at some of the other concept characters, I really would like to get most of these. It's a shame so many people are against them.

If you had to close the line tomorrow... Eldor deserves, finally, a toy form!

**Lay Ze-Man** · July 23, 2012, 09:33pm

I'm actually quite surprised that we haven't got Eldor by now.

In fact, if more characters like Eldor would have been released instead of EVERY SINGLE HEAVY HITTER available in the MotUniverse, I don't believe we'd be facing the current situation.

**Jedi_Master_Jeremy** · July 23, 2012, 10:33pm

I definitely want an Eldor figure but not at the expense of the figures that are in the most demand. I think Mattel could get away with Eldor but this Star Sister and FFM stuff has to end! I still contend that if Mattel had produced a Horde Trooper three pack instead of the FFM this year we would not have this situation right now.

We Want EL-DOR!!
We Want EL-DOR!!

(keep it goin')

**He-Dad** · July 23, 2012, 11:03pm

He us a must! Hopefully he's slated for 2013!

**AdultCollector** · July 23, 2012, 11:56pm

I really enjoyed his appearance in the mini comics, and I would love to have him in the line as a sub exclusive.

No offense, but I believe you're highly mistaken.

There are many, many factors involved in why the subscriptions are down, and I don't think it's as simple as the choice of the Fighting Foe Men for the 3-pack.

If it had been Horde Troopers, I don't think the subs would've been much higher, if at all, and you'd still have people complaining that if the line is ending soon, why did they make a 3-pack with all the same figure instead of three different characters, and on and on . . .

Me too mate, I was really expecting to get him this year to go along with POG mini-comics and Preternia map. This guy is not just any concept figure, he actually had a prototype figure and was in the 87 Mattel company catalogue.

I have to agree, many fans just don't want an expensive 3-pack, let alone a 3-pack of all the same figure. Give us Horde Trooper on a single card release like the vintage one, then the people who want to army build and buy more then one can and the people who don't can just get the one figure

**kylun flac** · July 24, 2012, 05:39am

I blown away that he hasnt come out yet. I felt for sure this year 2012 he was going to make it.
I do not want the line to close without this core character.

**triklops1** · July 24, 2012, 01:17pm

Absolutely. Eldor its one of the most important concept characters in the line, and I'm curious to know more about him in the bio

I 100% agree!!

**13977** · July 31, 2012, 04:48pm

I really hope Eldor does not fall under the 'no more concept characters' bracket, he's one of my most wanted characters

I got to think no since there was a physical prototype floating around.

To me a "concept character" is someone who didn't make it past a drawing.

**Killian** · August 1, 2012, 07:14am

While getting Eldor would be awesome, I wouldn't want it to be at the expense of any Great Rebellion member or key Filmation character.

If he takes the place of someone like Rotar or Twistoid, who I have no desire to see in the line, I won't mind.

**Zombihamma-AI** · January 7, 2013, 09:56pm

Does any one know what he( the prototype ) looks like under the hood? does he have short Obi-wan hair, or more combed back like Fisto or maybe long?

Good question. I'm not sure if he's ever been shown without the cloak. It doesn't look removable on the vintage prototype.

**Lay Ze-Man** · January 9, 2013, 01:14pm

He's pretty old, so I'd imagine balding or bald-headed more than likely.

**He-Dad** · January 9, 2013, 01:15pm

I'd prefer Obi-wan style myself

I don't know about the vintage prototype, but the MVC comics gave him the same basic haircut as Dekker. Obviously that wouldn't fit under a plastic hood, but I'd sooner expect him to come with two heads for a hoodless display rather than a removable hood. I can't picture him without long white hair personally, however, if he could only come with one head, I'd want the hooded more than the unhooded.

Anyone else hope he comes with a recolored reuse of Keldor's cape? I know the prototype didn't have a cape, but I think it would increase his old wizard-ishness. Nice thing about Keldor's is it looks good with long hair or a hood and leave room for a weapon on the back (not sure what that would be). Also hope he gets a Gandalf-esque staff, although now we're probably talking weapons pack fodder.

Also about Dekker, I think his boots would be great to reuse on Eldor. Heck, they could even reuse Dekker's vest! He just needs sleeves, and the other accessories I mentioned (and of course the Book of Spells).

**He-Dad** · January 9, 2013, 09:03pm

Eldor definately needs his book of spells and a Gandolf like staff! Let it be soon!

Yeah thats totally how I see Eldors hair:

**Arvulis** · January 10, 2013, 05:37am

I can't wait to see his Holographic Book of Spells

**iron_pride** · January 22, 2013, 04:20pm

We need to see him sooner than later. I'm shocked we haven't already.
