The riders are pretty cool looking, I can't believe I forgot about these guys. The 4H would make these into fantastic figures. I think I would prefer actual bone sculpts to a 'Scareglow style' skeleton painted over a MOTUC buck. Even though it would be a bunch of new tooling, a MOTUC skeleton figure could be re-used as Skeleton warriors (as mentioned in Clawful's bio!).

I agree! I'd obviously prefer a new skeleton body sculpt as well, I was just throwing out random ideas earlier.
(Don't blame me if Mattel concludes from that post that the majority wanted scare glow bodies

)

Those are very cool looking. I'd pick up a couple in a heartbeat.

Anything that helps to bolster the Horde army is a great thing. Bring 'em on!

They look alright but they're executed pretty poorly in the series- Madame Razz and She-Ra beat them so easily. I always thought an army of them would like quite cool, but more the focus of a scary, more perillous episode. I guess they'd be cool in MOTUC.

Jeebus. I've seen all of them, of course, but I dont remember these guys. Thanks for episode refrence. Went by quickly huh? Guess that explains it.

Yeah, these things are pretty cool. I'd like skeleton fighter 2 pack army builder, with two armours. Normal curiass for Skeletor, and these horde ones for Horde.

Steeds? Well, they are cool. I wouldnt hold my breath though.

More Horde members.

**kylun flac** · September 8, 2011, 03:44am

very cool. like the d&d feel going on, but would rather have skeletors 200x skeleton warriors.

**scott metzger** · September 8, 2011, 12:20pm

They never made much of an impression in the episode, but imagining what the Haorsemen could do with them, I'd definitely be down for a beast/figure pack here.

**Benedict Judas Hel** · September 8, 2011, 01:24pm

If they can pull off a new skeleton body, then yes. I'd love me some evil skeleton warriors. But if it's just a Scareglow repaint (as I fear it would be in this case) then I'd have to pass.

**Rael** · September 8, 2011, 01:26pm

Totaly love them! Bring them on ASAP!

**StraightEdgeHe-Man** · September 8, 2011, 04:45pm

Those riders look sweet

**gbagok** · September 8, 2011, 05:51pm

I'm surprised people feel they weren't a striking presence. They were extremely effective for me at the time, and still are pretty awesome. I'd love to see these in MOTUC.

If anything these help build a case for making those warriors because the skeleton bucks can be reused here.

**Arvulis** · September 9, 2011, 04:28am

Yes for this Dark Rider but Included in the "Skeleton Warriors Army Builder set" would be fine for me.

**facet** · October 6, 2011, 11:04am

These guys look awesome, somewhere down the line I would like to see them.

**Megalodon** · October 6, 2011, 03:41pm

I'd buy a couple and Drago Man's wings could be used for their wings

**hlinhk128** · October 16, 2011, 10:50pm

Yes please!!!!! You know TG mentions that the beauty of being online is they can do two packs and boxes of all different sizes but we've yet to see them utilize it so far.

After seeing Fwoosh's Swifty review they could so easliy do that horse.

These guys will not be taken for the ass if they wound up in the sub for sure!!!

**kylun flac** · October 21, 2011, 02:54am

dark riders would be so cool. very d&d.
but i'd pick myp horde wraiths first over these guys.

**skeletorous** · October 28, 2011, 08:21am

I watch the episode the other day and now Im craving Dark Riders...just so cool and with Shadow Weaver coming perfect time to get them together..I could even imagine them teaming up with Shadow Weaver and Skeletor in my cannon...

**DO4M** · November 5, 2011, 07:49pm

They WOULD be cool, but I suspect that Mattel would go the Scareglow Route with them... Which would be OK-ish, but I'd prefer if they made them Actual Skeletons and release Scareglow 2.0 by reusing the Skeleton body...

**Eterniandreams** · November 6, 2011, 04:30am

Want! I was already goung to make such a horse for Scareglow.
Anther readon to have a Skeleton buck!

Just watched the episode again. I loved to see light spinner again, allthough I liked the UK version more:

I am a sucker for origin stories and figures

**Count Marzo** · November 6, 2011, 01:59pm

Very obscure...but also very cool. I'd definitely buy them. They remind me of something out of an old skool NES game like Castlevania or Zelda. They could really go well with Shadow Weaver like some evil **** she conjured up!

**HordeFan** · February 4, 2012, 03:56pm

From the POP episode "The Price of Power". Use the skeleton buck for these and Skeletor's warriors and pick a horse to use for their ride. It would be perfect!!

**VaultsofGrayskull** · February 4, 2012, 04:13pm

I'm not a POP fan, but they look pretty good.

**joseephus** · February 4, 2012, 05:41pm

This is a good idea. I already have a thread for this in the Character Support and Speculation section.

**fball13z** · February 4, 2012, 07:38pm

Oh ive never seen those, I would buy 2 of those in a heart beat!
