#250 of 365 MotUC Orko

I finally got my normal Orko from matty, so I'm opening him up today.


There's no packaging difference between this Orko and the colour-change version.  Even the white mailer box has the same numbering.  The only difference, of course, is the content - this Orko does not have the colour change feature, and the spell book that comes with him does not have the colour-change SDCC logo on it as well.



I have to say I like this version better.  Unlike the colour-change version, this one does not look like a spectral ghost version of Orko.  He fits in better with Prince Adam.


I know there have been complaints about the paintwork on his ears.  My version only had one bum spot, but it's livable.  It's not even very noticable unles one goes looking for it.


Are the two versions of Orko the same?  I've no idea, but I think there might be some difference in the way the hat is affixed to the head.  Otherwise, the sculpt is the exact same, and I have talked about it when I opened the colour-change Orko a few weeks back.


The good thing about this pack?  I get to do customisation!  I like the smiling face He-man head a lot better then the grim normal version, so I've swapped BAHM's head for the more pleasant version.  Oh and I saw someone put the pink Zodak armour from the Weapons Pak on Prince Adam, well I'm gonna go one up and use Man-At-Arm's unmoustached head instead.  Yup, Cosmic Enforcer-At-Arms!  He'll make a good addition to my Cosmic Enforcers!

  2. That Prince Adam body is sure great for customs. I still thinking which head would go well with Stratos' backpack on PA's body...

  3. I was the one who put the armour on Prince Adam! I'm glad to see it's catching on. lol

    The hats on both versions of my Orkos look the same, but yours do look different. That's weird. Maybe one was glued higher up on his head or something?

  7. That is weird with the differences in the two hats. Somehow, my Orko always seems to have his right eye covered by his scarf.

  8. @BBQ17: You can adjust the black head piece with the eyeballs so that the eye is above the scarf.

  9. Cool quick custom. You should paint that helmet pink too. :)

  10. That's a good idea LJ. Now, where did I put the pink nail polish! LOL.

  11. That pink Zodac armor with the Man at Arms head actually looks pretty good Novelty.

  12. I really should paint his helmet pink as well. Then I'll have a whole horde (pun not intended) of MotU fans after the figure. LOL. Whoever said there's no use for the pink Zodac armour needs some educating :) I'm sure that figure will fit right in with the PoP girls. Maybe Cosmic Enforcer-At-Arms works on Etheria? Who knows?

  13. The pink Zodak armor has some limited use. I posted my pic of it on Faker on Poe's blog.

    Quite frankly, they should have made it purple to match Skeletor. That would have opened up much more uses for it I think.

  14. Ooooh, purple Zodac armour. I like that idea!
