The Fwoosh has a new post SDCC Interview up with Eric Treadaway!

Comic Conversation with Eric Treadaway Part 1

Draego-Man fans might be really interested in this...so would the fans of the female figures and the Star Sisters!

Comic Conversation with Eric Treadaway Part 2

Part 2 is up. Much bigger article this time with even more MOTUC goodness.

**Hordaiquiri** · August 8, 2011, 09:45pm

Great read!

I love how Draego Man was essentially made to fill a void in the Evil Warriors' lineup (not to mention Eric's own personal lineup

); I hope we get something similar with the other 30th anniversary releases (female Snake Warrior, male Rebellion member, etc).

ET: Oh man, Scorpia. I promise you she will be a killer figure.

My hype level is off the charts.

**RockinHard** · August 8, 2011, 09:45pm

Damn! That was too short. C'mon, part 2!

**Paul Justice** · August 8, 2011, 10:33pm

Eric fulfilled a dream of mine, since I was a kid, I always complained why don't the bad guys have a flying guy. Hungar the Harpie was never made, and I think she is the only bad character that could fly. Thanks Eric for making such a cool looking bad guy. Now bring on Scorpia!

**Dark Sorceress** · August 8, 2011, 10:54pm

all that and not 1 word on BG Evil-Lyn

**Judeh Simon** · August 8, 2011, 11:25pm

ET: Oh man, Scorpia. I promise you she will be a killer figure.

I will hold you to this Eric!!

(Now watch Scorpias votes double in the Idol contest)

lol she's a monster i think he will do a good job on her...unless he gives her a Muppet head....

**bcrduke** · August 9, 2011, 01:10am

THAT was awesome!!

He's really cool to listen to... I was fortunate enough to talk to him, and listen as he talked about design challenges (The Sorceress, for example).

I love that he mentioned Scorpia!! She's a great character... It sounds like he's finding the love for the POP characters, which is exciting, because I want to see the 4H versions of those women.

I want to see them brought into the Classics line.

That large pic of Draego-Man is great. His wings are excellent... and they make me think that Lord Dactys, Batros, and Hunga the Harpy are all possible.

God I hope so I also really want Vultak. So excited about what he said about Scorpia. I hope they really knock her and Octava out of the park!

It's not like they aren't going to do them.

Oh, no, I know. I mean I've heard they are all planned into the line-up...

I just meant I'm excited to see them redesigned... as long as they DO, in fact, get a redesign like Bow.

Gotcha. I'm looking forward to some of them. I like the Filmation look with updates here and there. I imagine Scorpia to be kick ass. As well as Frosta. I'd like to get Sea Hawk (though not a female).

But not before Ram Man!!!!!

**Darkspecter** · August 9, 2011, 01:54am

Wow, that was in-depth!

Cool interview and nice to see they are hiring more people!

I'm surprised he had such a hard time coming up with a MOTU character! I certainly agree that a Dragon-Man in MOTU is perfect though. It is one of the iconic/epic things MOTU was missing (outside of the actual dragons it has, I mean.

).

100% agree on his take about humans (especially women) being harder to get right vs. monsters. They're getting a lot better at capturing femininity (in my opinion). I wish they talked about why they went with the magazine versions of the Star Sisters instead of the toy prototypes though (that had more accessories)!

So...become a repaint of a NA figure?

Hunga's feathered (and not just the wings - which do kinda have that shape, I grant - but her whole body), and Batros' are caped like the Sorceress rather than off his back:

Not much to really say about a repaint with two new heads, is there?

However, there is another part to the interview where she could still come up. But I doubt she will.

yes there is *i did not have time to do a good job so i just got a teela out and panted it*

ok i don't know who Batros is but i want him! he looks like Batman of the horde!
Hunga looks so cool but ya she would need feathered...every thing lol

**adol** · August 9, 2011, 06:47am

Scor-Pi-A! Scor-Pi-A! Scor-Pi-A!!!

**mk476** · August 9, 2011, 07:44am

I can't wait to see what they do with Scorpia!

**lorde trooper** · August 9, 2011, 07:49am

Wow what a great insight to there day to day processes. Awesome reed and cant wait for part 2.

**nanoFatato** · August 9, 2011, 07:59am

It's a delight read an interview like this, it shows how much they care about every property they work on.
Would be a dream working with them

That was the number one thing I wanted from the interview as well.

**zodack** · August 9, 2011, 11:02am

I love that Eric looks at the over all line as a universe where anything can happen, all different kinds of characters are invited and sees it as a good thing.

**Tallstar** · August 9, 2011, 11:04am

Loved seeing all the discussion about the Star Sisters.

And Scorpia (Alex) is going to be so pleased. Hopefully that's a hint that she's already in the works.

**VaultsofGrayskull** · August 9, 2011, 11:51am

It's always reassuring to read about Eric's respect for the line's origins. I disagree with him about the Star Sisters though. They really do not sit well with the style of the line.

**JimPansen** · August 9, 2011, 12:25pm

Eric has a superb attitude but i have to disagree, that MotU has no limitation.
The girlie stuff is not acceptability for my shelf. I just don´t like the bubble gum look, i like the Frazetta look.
Im ok with women, but gimme some Babes not baby girls toys

So i have to cherry-pick from now on.
