Horde Essentials: Filling out your ranks in the All-Star years ahead

[King Tamusk]

Out of the remaining Horde characters yet to be made as figures, which ones are essential for your collection. In this poll, you can select as many as you want. However, these are "essentials", so think of it in those terms.

[Colder Soldier]

I voted for all I want figures of. And by Force Captain Adora I assume you mean Despara. Because Despara is coming...



^speculation

[baronterror]

mantenna modulock and horde trooper. i added scorpia on principal. only fair. didnt vote for dragstor or multibot though clearly they would count. but i dont care if they were missed.

i really really want general sunder. would say he is personally manditory. and i desperately want slime pit he man and calix less so. clawdeen. but couldnt vote for them as manditory. but i want em very.

and a classic toy catra variant and proper filmation hordak.

but the top part of the comment is mandatory.

[Akai]

All that were released in the vintage line. Scorpia, Calix and Horde Wraiths would definitely be essential. Tung Lashor will always be a Snake Man. Let Force Captain Adora be packaged as Despara.

[Scorpia]

I went for:

Mantenna
Scorpia
Vultak
Dylamug
Horde Troopers
Modulok
Multi-Bot (with as much Filmation influence as possible)
Entrapta
Imp
Admiral Scurvy
Inspector Darkney
Prince Zed
Force Captain Adora

I see Force Captain Adora and Despara as different characters - I'd love a FCA figure like this from the UK comics:



Acro-Bad wasn't a member of the Horde.

[13977]

Horde Trooper
Calix
Horde Wraith
Mantenna
Modulok
Dragstor
Multi-Bot
Scorpia
Entrapta
Storm
Vultak

[Shadow-Ra]

I voted for Force Captain Adora, but I've already customised my own one. What I really want is Despara

[jdscissorhands]

Cool polls! I bet that after the NA and Horde Essentials, we'll see a POP essentials poll pretty soon, am I right?

[MegaGearMax]

I'd get these characters...
Mantenna
Modulok
Dragstor
Scorpia
Entrapta
Imp
Horde Trooper
Horde Wraith
Force Captain Adora

...I'm not too crazy about these characters....

Mantisaur
Monstroid
Clawdeen
Calix

And I would skip these characters if I could. I'm not too fan of Filmation diluting the Horde with these one-off characters. Keep the Horde small, but powerful! Heck, I've always hated Multi-Bot.

Multi-Bot
Vultak
Dylamug
Storm
Admiral Scurvy
Light Spinner
Count Sneer
False Face
Inspector Darkney
Prince Zed
Tung Lasher
Ferros
Rachney
Repta
Lohni
General Sunder
Slime He-Man
Slime Pig
Dark Riders
Spyster
Acrobad
Duke Drear

- - - Updated - - -

Acro-Bad wasn't a member of the Horde.

That's the second time this week you've corrected someone on that...

[Benedict Judas Hel]

1) Mantenna
2) Modulok
3) Dragstor
4) Multibot
5) Mantisaur
6) Scorpia
7) Vultak
8) Monstroid
9) Horde Trooper
10) Calix
11) Horde Wraith
12) Tung Lasher (even though to me, he is a Snake Man)

[slackrguy]

I'd be fine with

Mantenna
Clawdeen
Horde Trooper
Lohni
Calix

[DO4M]

The ones I voted Essential: (and a little explanation if needed)

Mantenna: One of the First 4 Hordesmen It's like having Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Human Torch and no Invisible Woman!
Modulok: The Horde Large-scale beast... Not to mention evil Scientist.
Scorpia: She's an Enforcer. I see her like the Horde's Whiplash
Entrapta: Like the Horde's Spikor, but I hold her in Higher rank due to her standing as the only Non-Catra villain in the original toyline.
Horde Troopers: Not having them is a sin!
Imp: I know that the non-Filmation fans think of the bat-pig-thing as an abomination, but used correctly, he's kinda like a MOTU Lasebeak. While not intimidating by itself, he's like an extension of Hordak. Perhaps something like a Familiar from his days as a Warrior mage.It never hurts to have an extra set of eyes and ears when you're an interplanetary conqueror.
Horde Wraiths: While Shadow Weaver is the head witch of the Horde, there must be other magic users (raised, enthralled, brainwashed, etc.) by the Horde.
Force Captain Adora/Despara: The Ultimate act of Horde Villainy.Corrupting one of Graykull's twins and molding her into an agent of destruction. She is important because it makes She-Ra's tale of Redemption stronger... Besides how cool it would be to have a FC Adora figure. (to use in a PRE SOTS display or as a physical manifestation of her inner demons)
Lohni and General Sunder: cause it kinda makes sense to have normal people who were fooled by the horde and become Horde deserters... at least storywise.

[hadley]

I only voted for the vintage figs that aren't out yet. That's not to say that other characters wouldn't be cool to have, but I don't know what world you're in to count someone like Callix as essential. I'd love to have him but essential?

Oh, and I voted for Mantisaur too. I guess it's not essential either, but I'm a hypocrite.

[shadowfall1976]

Mantenna
Dragstor
and I don't see an option for Batros....he is Horde.

I never watched POP, so I only care mainly about the 2 Vintage figures I had, and one I saw on the Filmation toon.

[He-Dad]

Mantenna

Batros was a one-off from the He-man cartoon...not Horde. Just had a similar symbol.

I prefer the UK comic version of Force Captain Adora, too. And I was told Acrobad was an agent of the Horde, which is why I included him. Whoops.

Mantenna
Dragstor
and I don't see an option for Batros....he is Horde.

Yeah, Batros isn't part of the Horde. This much I know for sure. People just started saying he was, because he also has a red bat symbol.


At 50 votes, here are the results so far...

1st - Mantenna
2nd - Horde Trooper
3rd - Scorpia
4th - Modulok
5th - Dragstor
6th - Entrapta/Imp (tie)
7th - Multi-Bot
8th - Horde Wraith
9th - Force Captain Adora/Vultak/Mantisaur (tie)
10th - Calix

A couple things surprising me here...

• 3 people didn't want Mantenna, one of the original Horde members
• Horde Wraith is beating F.C. Adora, Vultak, and Mantisaur
• Calix is more popular than Dylamug

I am guessing Horde Wraith is doing well, since Shadow Weaver was the exclusive in 2012 and therefore harder to come by.

Keep voting.

[swind15]

Essential:
Mantenna
Modulok
Scorpia
Horde Troopers
Imp
Dragstor

Would like to have:
Vultak
Multi-bot
False-Face

[shadowfall1976]

Well I consider Batros a Horde member, mainly because his story was never fleshed out, and it was neither officially denied or acknowledged in Filmation as such, he could go either way. So to me, He is a former or stranded Hordesman. And since he's a bat....that even makes him more a Horde member to me. And since I am not alone in my consideration of him, I am perfectly OK with aligning him with the Horde.

So since I have read no official Filmation confirmation, How can you know for sure, he is not or was once Horde?

In my canon Batros is Horde, so I would like to see him made, but admittedly not before my other 2 essential Hordesmen, Dragstor & Mantenna.

[sirsniffy]

I actually voted for 5:

Mantenna
Modulok
Scorpia
Imp
Horde Trooper 2 Pak

^I think this is all you need to round out the horde. I am going by two criteria:

-characters which had a vintage version (Mantenna, Modulok)
-Characters who appeared most in Filmation cartoon (the more regular goons).

Wait a moment... were's Colonel Blast?

Poor ol' colonel

[Count Marzo]

I can't be the only one who would want a Duke Drear figure:



Watch She-Ra episode "Troll's Dream". One of my FAVORITE She-Ra episodes that has some of the best scenes in the entire Filmation He-Man/She-Ra library! Skull Path! You'll probably end up wanting a King Ahgo figure too.

+ Colonel Blast
