Bonus Round!
There really was nothing to change in Orko, but...
I thought he needed some accessory, so I know someone in my country who makes accessories for origin figures, so I bought this staff.

Just a correction you might want to make...your Trap-Jaw post on the previous page is titled "Custom Man-At-Arms" lol.
Thanks for letting me know!Originally Posted by depp76
That's really amazing!! It's harder to be perfect job on the face and eyes, I've done that on my other vintage Mego figures in 4 hours....
Custom Scare Glow
This customization isn't my favorite, but (modestly) it's one of the coolest ones.
Scare Glow never appeared in the Filmation cartoon or 200x, but he did appear in Revelation. I thought of basing the customization of Scare Glow on the Revelation version, however, I think his style in Revelation doesn't match anything with the origins collection or with the Filmation so I preferred to base myself on the verse art of the origins package.
Also, I came up with the idea of putting eyes that reflect light, like the head of Skeletor Rise of the Evil. I wanted to make the shading of the bones of the face, so that your face would be more defined, in both normal light and dark.
Modifications:
- I painted the dividers of your teeth.
- I painted the shadow of the bones in his face.
- I glued it to his red rhinestone eyes, so they shine when they reflect the light.
- I removed the paint on his chest using dye remover and scraped it off with a fine-tipped tool very carefully so as not to mark the plastic.
- I repainted his chest, following a more real logic to his ribs.
Excellent idea, I have another origins Scareglow for custom like that myself. I'll just following the instructions of yours.
Sorry I didn't understand,
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, then show me how it turned out, I want to see it.
Great painting, it inspires me to try to emulate what you have done.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks, do yes, then don't forget to show me haha.
Custom Panthor
The objective was to make the figure as similar as possible to the Filmation version.
I should have posted Panthor along with Battle Cat in the first post, but I just had the idea to put similar customizations in the same post when I published He-Man/Adam. So I apologize if it's repetitive.
Modifications:
- I painted your eyes green.
- I painted the pupules black in the shape of slits.
- I painted the outline of the eyes black.
- I painted the inside of the ears black, although you can't see it in the photo.
- I painted the middle teeth between the fangs of white.

Custom Zodac
So... Today's customization is extremely basic and simple, I'll only publish it here as a way to record everything I've done.
Naturally the goal was to make it more similar to the Filmation version of the character.
Modifications:
- I painted the strip on his head gray.
Custom Triclops
Purpose: Filmation Version
After these last customizations that were pretty basic, here's a really good one.
I need to comment a few things first, if you notice in cartoon Triclops and He-Man are exactly the same except for the face and chest armor, given that that Mattel "FORCED ME" to buy He-Man with the vintage head because of the full sword, I took his arms and legs and put them on Triclops. And I come to the conclusion, that I definitely like the Filmation version of Triclops better than the Vintage version.
One observation, as you might notice, I removed the orange paint from his chest armor, and it was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, and I do n't recommend you do it, I did and sincerely regret it a little bit.
The reason I did not make the shape of his eyes perfectly the same as in the cartoon is that his original eye would hinder me, and in order not to look sloppy, I decided to keep his original eye. But knowing me maybe in the future I'll try to solve this problem who knows...
Modifications:
- I removed the orange paint on his chest vest from him.
- I removed the eyebrow from his eyes.
- Using epoxy putty, I made her hair and dyed it brown.
- I swapped your original arms and legs with He-Man's.
- With paint remover, I removed the paint from the yellow hairs of the boot.

Stellar work as always. When you are done posting them individually, it would be cool to see a group shot. I don't know, maybe the details would be lost but it'd be cool too.
Thanks again. Well if you really insist on it, it's definitely manageable, when I'm done posting everything I'll take a picture of everyone together, I already intended to do that, but as they release new figures all the time I always postponing it for after the next wave.
Custom Hordak
It is because of this figure that the name of this thread is not "Custom of Origins Figures for Filmation Version", as Hordak is one of the few characters that I like more about his original version than the Filmation version, Webstor too. When I say original version I mean how it was conceived and not how the puppet arrived in stores.
Have you noticed that one of the heads of the Hordak Buzz Saw is the same as the head of the basic figure, but with the eyes a little bigger? And because of that the head of the Buzz Saw version is better than the basic version? Well, I noticed that, and I definitely don't like the original face of the basic Hordak version.
You might also notice that I painted the crystal under his chin, which is normally totally black like his outfit, in red. I based this decision on two things, the first was Netflix's She-Ra drawing that Hordak needs this crystal to power his costume and the Classics version of Hordak which also has the crystal painted. That wasn't the only thing I based on the classics version, I also painted the bat's eyes on its crossbow like in the classics version.
Now a question, if anyone can answer me, is the red Hordak shield originally thought of as a creature or is it just a bat-shaped shield?
Modifications:
- With epoxy putty, I enlarged his eyes and painted them red.
- I painted her dark circles black from one corner of her eyes to the other.
- I improved the painting of your nostrils.
- I improved your mouth paint.
- I painted the underside of her forehead marquise black.
- I painted the insides of their ears black.
- I painted the crystal under her chin red.
- I painted the eyes of their crossbow red.

You're welcome.
I mean painting the eyes are difficulty job. Harder to be perfect paint on eyes. Not many people can do that :-)
Oh yeah, some are actually quite difficult, I take advantage of the paint I use which is plastic, so before it dry, if it doesn't look good, I can mold the paint to whatever shape I want, by dragging it to the right place.
You definitely made Hordak look more like Hordak. The Origins version just isn't quite there...I think it's the eyes that are throwing it off and too much white in the face and ears. The red pupils are just too small on the Origins figure so great job on transforming him!
This Hordak might be the best yet. Great job.
Yeah, looks like Mattel didn't know what to paint in his eyes. But, I admit that I like Hordak better with that second head of Buzz Saw, smiling, that smile of his seems something more villainous.
Thank you so much!
I like the smiling head better too. It's kinda silly, but kinda awesome at the same time.
It's just that I'm not going to buy another one just for the head, but if I could I would have would buy head smiling, I don't like his normal expression. If I could I would buy the Buzz Saw just for the head, In my country, these figures are not cheap and besides I hate to stick with an unnecessarily repeated figure, and Evil Lyn, Mer Man and He-Man are enough,I had to buy 2 of each.
Bonus Round!
This was something I didn't intend to post, but, I don't know, maybe someone would be interested in the idea.
Clamp Champ had never appeared in any cartoon before Revelation, so this is the only reference we have for customizing and anyway there's nothing to change in the figura itself. But, I had another idea I painted the detail of the blue tubes of his clamp gun.
Custom Ram Man
Purpose: Filmation Version
Ok, this must be the customization done by me that was more like the Filmation version of a character.
After I made this customization and published it, I saw a person who did the same but painted the silver parts of his armor gray, I believe this is unnecessary because in the drawing it is gray because it cannot be silver, and you should interpret as if it were silver, so it ends up being an unnecessary effort, do you agree?
An observation, initially I had just painted the whites of his eyes, it didn't look bad, but after I got the idea to do the eye contour too, so I was like "WOW", it gave a much better effect. Other characters don't need the eye contour to look good, but as the Ram Man's skin is much lighter than that of other characters, for him the contour is essential to achieve this result.
I hadn't done that until now, but for the sake of standardizing everything, I made the same modifications to the second head of Ram Man.
Modifications:
- I painted the white part of his eyes and redid the black pupils.
- I did the outline of his eyes in black.
- I thickened his eyebrows.
- I painted the seams of your outfit black.
- I painted the details of the skull on his belt buckle black.
