Emilliano's MOTUC Visions: Filmation Hordak

**MegaGearMax** · June 13, 2012, 08:42pm

Hi everybody,
I want to take a shot at bringing back this blog.
I'm awful at keeping this stuff up to date, but maybe I'll be able to share something here and there.
Hopefully I'll be also allowed to share some of the work I do for Hasbro (I already have a few images ready and approved) but of course the main focus will remain He-Man and She-Ra!
But also expect some random thoughts here and there, as I recently found myself with a lot to say, and not just art.
(always in my broken English - for those who don't know, I'm Italian and I live in Italy)

And to kick-start this, what was better than one of my ideas for possible MOTUC figures?
So, here is the variant figure (almost) everybody want!
Hordak in Filmation colors!
And since Mattel already tooled swappable arms (the shoulders discs and the torso) for Trap-Jaw/Kronis, why not selling him with two sets of arms, to simulate the different robotic arms he had in the cartoon?
BTW, Hordak had 2 different mechanical arms styles. I think asking Mattel to staty true to that would be too much, but I think most fans would settle down with something that works good enough for both.
Still there can be different iptions: they can go for almost a simple repaint, or just add a few new parts:
I'm presenting 2 of these options her, what would you like most?

Version B, please. The head and the armor just HAVE to be different from the regular Hordak release in order to get me interested in this figure!

**Nemisythe** · June 13, 2012, 10:08pm

Hot damn!!!

**bribri4u** · June 14, 2012, 12:00am

Another absolutely perfect figure. This plus Imp for SDCC.

**Darkspecter** · June 14, 2012, 02:13am

I like Version B with the new head and armour, BUT I would re-use Icarius/Flipshots biceps from Version A. It saves money and they look nearly identical to the new biceps, in my opinion. Great design! I really like it.

**Zargon** · June 14, 2012, 10:12am

WOW! I love this!

Either version would be fine with me, although version B would be better. But it should be called Battleground Hordak instead of Filmation....

I totally agree with this.

Beautiful work, Emiliano!

**Bulkhide** · June 15, 2012, 01:20am

Awesome as always! I hope we get the second, more expensive version.

**Barnster** · June 15, 2012, 05:20am

Awesome work as always.

Maybe they could take out two birds with one stone, by releasing him with an additional head, so we can also get Filmation's "Concept Hordak":

He doesn't match 100%, I know, but is close enough so you could display him as another Horde general.

PS: Emiliano, could you draw your "Vision" of this Concept Character please??

**Alexx** · June 15, 2012, 12:28pm

Now here's a good use of swappable arms! WAY back when Trap-Jaw came out I made a post asking about the possibilities of the swappable arms, and honeslty I thought I would have seen more uses of them by now.

Anyway, I'd be up for this variant. I'm afraid they wouldn't do something so interesting if they got to it, but this is certainly the coolest way to do it. I love the robot arms and the use of the Hurricane forearms!

**13977** · June 15, 2012, 01:10pm

Now I prefer to call this version mini-comic or Earl Norem poster colours

not a variant I'm desperate for but would buy him if released. Hopefully he'd come with both heads.

**Scorpia** · June 15, 2012, 06:02pm

I hope they think of something other than 'Battleground'... 'Ruler of Etheria Hordak' would do! But they seem to want to distance MOTUC from Etheria...

**slackrguy** · June 15, 2012, 06:13pm

There are parts I like from both of them I'd need to combine to create version C, no removeable arms for me.

Hey could we make this guy The Brother's Horde FATHER and have him as a whole new figure?

**Count Judas** · June 16, 2012, 07:15am

I really hope we get Filmation/Earl Norem Hordak in 2013 with a new head sculpt! Call him "Cyber or Techno Virus" Hordak.

That concept art for Hordak looks great! I'd love to see this head added to the Horde Tropper set. The 2 packs come with 4 heads so we can have Horde Trooper - vintage style, 200x, concept Hordak and a battle damage one. People can swap them and create many combinations with those heads.

**kylun flac** · June 30, 2012, 07:25pm

nice reuse of flipshots bicep. I didnt even think of that. it looks so good how you have it. filmation hordak that is.

**shadowfall1976** · June 30, 2012, 07:45pm

B....B....B....B

This is the Hordak I have been describing that should be made, new head, new armor, and the swappable arms are something I never even thought about.

Bring it on, this is what we want, not some straight repaint, which wouldn't be Filmation at all....Hordak should be done like this, not like BGEL at all.

But honestly, I would be happy with A, ONLY IF, it came with the FIlmation head.

**dark knight** · July 1, 2012, 09:02am

just wicked as always!

they did a pretty bad job of that by releasing a map of Etheria with PD He-Man. lol

**Cosmic Falcon** · July 7, 2012, 07:17pm

You know what would be interesting (if it was possible) is to have a Hordak like Emiliano's but one that could be transformed into his rocket form or something as well...like the Transformer toys but maybe I'm just fantasizing & it just ain't possible. Lol, I never was good at engineering or physics

**Fright Zone** · July 8, 2012, 01:01am

Wow. Version B is so perfect. I want that more than just about any other possible figure right now!

The problem with Emiliano's designs being so amazing is that if/when they do ever release him it's bound to disappoint unless it looks this good.

**kylun flac** · July 8, 2012, 09:29am

This would be a proper variant.
not just some repainted hordak.

**Dynamo of Eternia** · July 8, 2012, 12:55pm

I would love it if we could get the more expensive version.... even if it had to be released outside of the sub as a "deluxe" figure at a higher price point.

**baronterror** · July 13, 2012, 02:21pm

if we only get the first, I'll accept it. I admit that the "cheap" version is only less preferable as I want/need that classic cartoon headsculpted. BUt I can accept the "cheaper" one.

**nebezial** · July 13, 2012, 05:45pm

mm that right one really tickles my nostalgia, brilliant!
