He was the stand out stinky figure for me when I was a kid. I could tell he was a Mer-Man repaint, even then I could see through the paint of lies but I didn't care. I always keep an eye out for him MOC for my collection but whenever I do see one the card or blister is in a terrible state. I will find one eventually.
@he-dad I love MOTU and their repaints.
Did we ever get a situation bro where the padawan overtook the master? Like Beast Man is still loved more than Moss Man and Mer-Man is loved more than Stinkor. But is there any the other way around?
🇺🇸 SNOUT SPOUT FOR PRESIDENT 🇺🇸
@he-dad I don't know all the repaints. If somebody has a list of them that would be neat to look at.

From the vintage line, there aren't that many figures that are 100% made from existing tooling.
Stinkor, Moss Man, Panthor, and Screeech, and Faker. Of those Faker and Panthor are well-loved, especially Faker. But probably not more well-loved than He-Man and Battle Cat.
But of course Battle Cat's body was an existing tool from the Big Jim tiger, and Battle Cat is way more beloved and iconic than the Big Jim figure. The Big Jim figure didn't have the saddle and helmet of course. I would say the same for Zoar as compared to the Big Jim eagle.

Great post. Thanks bro!!!! It would have been awesome if there was just one. Maybe Panthor comes the closest but I guess there is nothing that outshines the original except for MOTU itself over Big Jim.

Thanks guys. I don't know why I never considered Panthor a repaint until now. I guess it's because it was flocked and not really a repaint. My brain never went there. It's the same sculpt as Battle Cat so I see it belongs.
Looking outside today it's like this guy showed up and got in a fight with Frosta.

I always liked Icer. I think he deserves more love.
All looking pretty and proper. Love that Plundor gets some attention too! 😍
sorry for the delay in posting more. These bios together give a breakdown of the Horde's history and power structure:
My explanation for why the Horde emblem is Hordak's face if he answers to Horde Prime. See my idea is that it's not Hordak's face in the Horde emblem it's actually his ancestor's. Hordak strongly resembles him, though it should be noted that they both look that way due to their messing with dark magic and their people normally look basically human but with pointed ears -as evidenced by the other Horde World people we saw in Filmation (Prince Zed, Inspector Darkney, Professor Tempus, etc...)
Horde Prime, I had long since decided was Hordak's brother-in-law allowing him to both be father to Hordak's nephew Prince Zed but also having the completely different look from the UK comics. (he's of a different race obviously) The name Academica for the Horde home world also comes from the UK comics. In Filmation it was just called Horde World and when shown looked like an asteroid field instead of a planet -thus my explanation: "Horde World" is the exploded remains of Academica.
The name Vespertili is from Latin meaning "of or resembling a bat"
Dorina is 99% my original character. I mean obviously Prince Zed had a mother so I didn't completely make her up. A detail I failed to mention in the actual bio (mostly due to limited space on the card) is that Adora bears a strong (though coincidental) resemblance to her which is one of the reasons Hordak became attached to her. (that's actually a picture of Force Captain Adora from the UK comics) Behind the scenes this is the reason I chose the name Dorina -I should mention I came up with this long before the Four Horsemen released the She-Ra inspired Mythic Legions figure that they too chose the name Dorina for.
The main point of this was to write in an excuse for why the Snake Men weren't causing problems during the time He-Man was away on Primus. Working in Hiss' alternate look was just an add on.
Note: No She-Ra does not go to the future with He-Man for the New Adventures part. She goes off searching the galaxy in the time between defeating the Horde and the "He-Ro: Son of He-Man" era. LONG before the Classics continuity I had already mapped out my story which took most of its inspiration from Lou Schiemer's unproduced series. In that version Dare was found and adopted by Adam and a major plot point would be discovering his true parents which was ultimately (like season/series finale) going to be revealed to be Adora and Sea Hawk. I made a lot of changes for my version of course but always stuck with the "he's Adora's long lost son" angle.
My original reason for going with the name Derrick was that people called him "Dare" which was a shortened nickname version of his true full name. Ultimately I kept making changes to the point I ended up dropping the whole name of Dare altogether. My version is named Derrick and people call him Derrick.
...and yeah, while originally inspired by the "He-Ro: Son of He-Man" story idea, I made so many changes and kept putting my own spin on it until he became almost entirely my original character. I honestly don't remember why I originally decided to give him the scar (which by the way disappears when he turns into He-Ro II)
Here's a batch of alter ego bios
