Eldor test shot leaked pics on ebay

[Emiliano]

Floating on Facebook, there are some pics of a possible Eldor test shot

[Croc-O-Bite!]

Looking good so far. I can't wait to finally get an Eldor!

[Mechanizor]

The armor/garment he is wearing does look very much Rubenized! The sculpt on the other hand looks very impressive! He reminds of Socrates or Zeus!

[D.M.]

Are those boots final? Wonder if it could mean they'll make Filmation He-Man... (though the boots aren't quite exactly the same)

[Captain Atkin]

I like it. I wish the back of the shirt covered a bit more in the back, but overall it looks good. I like the look of the hood down with the helmet showing.

[Draego-Man]

The hood down looks wrong to me. The vintage had the hood up and so should this figure. I also don't like the mini-skirt.

[Captain Atkin]

Unfortunately, the way the back of the tunic is cut, it does look a bit like a skirt. Hopefully the back will be painted the same colors as the tunic so the rounded cut isn't noticable.

[Draego-Man]

I know that it is supposed to be part of his vest, but the way they did it makes it look like a miniskirt. In other words, it looks like another jacked up figure that has been done totally wrong.

[zombihamma]

Hmm I've got to agree, it should have been done like prince Adam,...but the reason they didn't is probably so that the front can be replaced with a 'hood up' version

[Matthew L. Martin]

Looking good ... almost worth the five years' wait. And the Rubenization doesn't bother me that much, since the cloak could hang a little loose.

I'm not sure about the non-hooded head. I wonder if the hood on the back of the armor is going to be designed so it could flip up and over. I do notice that it looks remarkably textured compared to most 'cloth' items in the line. Still, the skullcap look is vintage as well.

[Captain Atkin]

The hood down looks wrong to me. The vintage had the hood up and so should this figure. I also don't like the mini-skirt.

The figure was shown with the hood up, but the original card back artwork seems to show the point of a skullcap helmet sticking down. I think the character may have had a skullcap in the original design. The figure itself may have had one under the plastic hood.

[zombihamma]

It did there's pics footing around the net of vintage Eldors wax sculpt, and it does have the skullcap

[Tallstar]

The hood is essential to me.

[Captain Atkin]

I wonder if there is a chance of him coming with two heads? One with a hood, and one without? The test shos doesn't show any other items, so it may come with a second hooded head as well.

[MIDOR]

WOW!

That looks horrible.

They need to throw that away and start over.

Thead looks like a cross between Ming the Merciless and Daniel Bryan.

It did. Someone had the vintage prototype head at PowerCon last year; pics have been floating around.

EDIT: And here's the picture; thanks to Shawn (aka Lord Fallen Eldor):

No hood = No Eldor. It really is that simple.

I don't want a second head for this figure. That would make him have a hood up, with the hood down on the armor. What he needs is 1 head, but 2 armors, one with the hood up, and one with it down.

[Draego-Man]

The more I look at that thing, the worse it looks. Terrible. What the hell is going on with the bottom part of the armor on the back? Ridiculous.

[Redguard]

Nice find Emiliano. The figure looks interesting, but I'm holding my judgement until I see one that's finished. Though I will say this. I'm not overly fond of the how the boots look at the moment.

Though I can't help but wonder if there will be a hood that attaches as a separate piece. Something in the same consistency of plastic as capes have been made for characters like Scareglow or He-ro.

[JimPansen]

Only thing that makes sense would be a second garment with hood up.
NA He-Man also got 2 armors after all ;-)

[Mechanizor]

But that also means a second head, I'll take it...

[JimPansen]

Why would there be a need for a second head then?

[JimPansen]

He would only need a second tunic to recreate the prototype. Second head would surely concidered too expensive.

[Mechanizor]

Probably a second hooded tunic would hinder the head articulation I assume!

[JimPansen]

Of course.

Some larger pictures of Eldor:

[Guest]

Who is Eldor and why do people like him? He just looks like a generic old man in a brown tunic. Could someone elaborate?

[MIDOR]

old wizard dude who lived in pre-eternia/preternia. he's the one who came up with the transformation spell.

Originally Grey was going to turn into he-ro and it was Eldor who came up with that spell.

His working name, I guess, was Mentor.

He made it to prototype but that's when the original line died. he would have come with a spell book.

[Tallstar]

[Greenskull]

I think Eldor looks great. I am digging the Williamson Merlin look. I can't wait toget this guy in October.

[Mechanizor]

I never cared much about the character, but I do like sculpt of this figure.

[zombihamma]

"hands pivot at the wrists to hold the book of living spells" it would be cool if this one had a open left hand for holding the book, that way we could trade out with He-man for a more vintage inspired left hand

[JimPansen]

Someone mentioned that he looks a lot like a RPG Character and thats exactly what i thought when i first saw him. Thats an awesome thing by the way

[_RZ_]

Looking good. I hope they figure out a way to add a raised hood in there. Eldor is easily one of my most-wanted.

[Draego-Man]

They have released images of the final figure now, and he has a hood.
