It's the final day of MotUC week of Spooktober 2011 here on Toy a Day, and although this isn't very scary (lets face it, we've had lots of time to get used ot a pig snout on a bat faced character), I still think Hordak is the Dracula of the MotU-verse (with Grizzlor being the "wolfman" hairy monster, Leech the monster from the deep and Mantenna the creepy crawly. There's also the mummy in the concept sketech and I'm sure a Frankenstein monster can be found somewhere).
He comes in the standard white mailer box, and the standard MotUC card. Surprisingly, they got his name to fit in a single line in both instances.
Hordak comes with his usual accessory... and a vac metal chest and abs. It's shiny!
The kinetic sheild is a straight update of the vintage version, but has some small spots of paint. This was probably my favourite arm attachment as a kid, and I'm a bit sad that I can't get it to turn like a fan remotely somehow...
The thunderbolt mace is also a straight update of the vintage, but has three spots of paint on it. That probably cost Mattel quite a bit to get that level of paint detail in.
The propeller is probably the most updated version of the three. It has a spot of paint, more exaggerated veins and is a lot larger than the vintage version. All three accessories plug easily into Hordak's "cannon" hand and spins rather easily thanks to the design.
This Hordak is just a repaint of the first MotUC Hordak to match the vintage character, but of course, his right arm has been replaced with the canon arm. I like the silver highlights on the other Hordak better though.
Evil leader of the Evil Horde with Hurricane powers? Well, OK. I liked the vintage character better than the original Hordak, but this time around in Classics, I think I prefer the other version to Hurricane. Still, it's nice to get a vac metal character, and this is a good addition to the evil Horde. I think I might even do what I did when I was a kid... made the different versions of Hordaks brothers!
