Eldor Prototype Found. PROOF CARD

**Hollywoodheroes** · March 9, 2010, 08:40am

Hi Folks,

As some of you know I represent many former Mattel engineers and designers. We recently found this while cleaning out a storage room inside one of the client's homes.

I wanted to share. Enjoy:

Best to all,

WOW!
This is great to see!! Especially the back story on the Book Of Living Spells is great.

Thanks for sharing.

**Sir Reilly** · March 9, 2010, 08:57am

Whoa, that's so awesome! The cardback illustration even shows what Gray was supposed to look like!

**Tallstar** · March 9, 2010, 08:58am

*shaking and crying*

Noooo way!

So cool to see the back story.

**Sir Reilly** · March 9, 2010, 09:04am

So, could this be a coincidence, concerning a certain SDCC Exclusive that's gonna be revealed next month according to Toyguru? Hm...

**the.overlord** · March 9, 2010, 09:07am

Holy smokes! Wondaful!

**Sallah** · March 9, 2010, 09:19am

Oh... my.... Goddess....

That is fantastic piece!
If at all there's a chance for better scan that could be used on Org's features, that'd be awesome.

can someone write down for me the texts on the back of the card? About Eldor's profile and everything?

**Darkspecter** · March 9, 2010, 09:39am

And the accessory stuff:

**Poe Ghostal** · March 9, 2010, 09:57am

That's awesome. I'm seriously hoping we get an Eldor in MOTUC...maybe this will help inspire Mattel to make one. They can use the art for his bio pic!

**masterenglish** · March 9, 2010, 09:58am

Wow, this is awesome! He was gonna have holograms! Holograms!!!

Please tell me the towel is for tears and nothing else.

**Darkspecter** · March 9, 2010, 10:05am

I wonder if Mattel will re-use Prince Adam to make Gray...as he has the same body (vest, belt, furries and all).

That would be cool.

Also, the Book of Living Spells bio is the SINGLE most important discovery in MOTU history! This would explain all the different MOTU canons because the book of living spells CHANGES history.

It's too bad Mattel didn't know of this and went with the millions of He-Men idea.

**Facelessone** · March 9, 2010, 10:07am

incredible find!!!!! thanks for sharing!!! That is awesome!!!!!

**MegaGearMax** · March 9, 2010, 10:12am

Great find! It's nice to see some legitimacy to He-Ro and Eldor being in the vintage line.

**Sallah** · March 9, 2010, 10:13am

Ah... made out some more of the words on the pic! "...responsible for" Updated my original post...

**sathomaso** · March 9, 2010, 10:14am

Great! Thanks for sharing.

@ HollywoodHeroes:

Would you mind posting some closeup-photos of the 4 book action-feature illustrations, describing the assembly and how the holograms work?
As well as the character, profile and origin text on the top of the cardback?

Because unfortunately the small text is really hard / impossible to read on the screen.

THANKS in advance!

Check a couple of posts up... I think I managed to catch just about all the text on the back... with the exception of one word.

**Arkangel** · March 9, 2010, 10:21am

incredible!!! There is so much to look at !!

The book of spells contained holograms? He-ro's original art?? Has this last one ever appeared? Maybe in the dinosaurs?

**Sallah** · March 9, 2010, 10:27am

Dang... I wish those would have "come my way in 1987"....

Oh, and Jordan responded and will be hooking the org up with higher res pics, so kudos to him!
