Opponent MOTUC (Pre-Flogg) (Masters of the Universe) Custom Action Figure

 And there cannot be Battlebeard without his Opponent :) . Sadly lost to the sands of time his original name, the only one of his concepts that have been lost. Maybe one day it will emerge some document with a scribble, or maybe simply he never had one.

Clearly this concept evolved into Flogg, by the red colours and whip. Man is this version cooler than him! always thought Flogg was a bit on the corny side. Curiously, the second version of Flogg, Hook Em Flogg, has it's whip nearly identical! as if they tried to fix a bit the idea by going to the more original concept.

Anyway, nearly my favourite of the concepts. Curiously he sorts of have his suit pierced in several places, although himself is red like the suit or maybe a bit more orangey.

Kickor with extensible leg (Masters of the Universe) Custom Action Figure

Here is Kickor, evil master of foot-kicking! lol. It sounds bad, but this nearly was a thing in the New Adventures era. Sadly, instead of a rather cool figure, we got I guess the two versions of Hoove, which are quite dysmal in all aspects. I stil remember some of my local shops having a Hoove unsold for about 10 years XD. Anyway, this concept was quite cool and MOTUesque, as it seems MAttel toyed with the idea of a kicking figure since very early on, like Fisto but with his foot. Most complex was his extending leg mechanism, that even if it is MOTUC, it just had to have it. #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #motu #motuc #mastersoftheuniverse #newadventures #na #newadventuresofheman #heman #kickor

Sluggor (Masters of the Universe) Custom Action Figure classics new adventures he-man

And here is Kickor nemesis, Sluggor! the Fisto of the New Adventures that never was produced. You can see vibes of him in Hydron's v2 version. Makes for a good MOTUC design I have to say, but probably if made in the same style of the NA would have been a poor figure all the same. Has a lot of Blade vibes to me! Made with MOTUC bits and a Wrestler's head. Most complex was fitting his central armour, using a top from a softener bottle! Based on early preproduction artwork for the new adventures of he-man. #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #motu #motuc #mastersoftheuniverse #newadventures #na #newadventuresofheman #heman #sluggor

Sledor MOTUC custom figure NA new adventures of he-man masters of the universe classics

This is Sledor, another early preproduction MOTU concept. Coincidentally, I had a custom of him made by another customizer, so I was quite familiar with the character. Most tricky was to make the missiles and missile launcher extensions, to which I took some inspiration from the custom I had from Shinigami PL if I remember correctly. 

In my opinion, Sledor is probably the best concept out of the 10 or so there are.

Battlebeard Masters of the Universe Classics New adventures of He-Man MOTU custom action figure

This is Battlebeard, a concept that evolved into Tuskador. You have to accept that the idea here was quite corny, and that Tuskador was arguably better. But still, is strikingly different and bizarre, and very MOTUesque in it's conception, having vibes from Man at Arms and Fisto.
