Do you collect Evil Horde action figures?

It's my brother's Showbiz Pizza birthday party all over again.... SO MANY Horde figures that day as gifts......

It's a bit of a meme for Gen X to brag about what great toys and shows we grew up on, but Masters of the Universe was the pinnacle for overall quality and imagination. The 80's was truly a golden age for children.

the Horde has always been my favorite motu faction

I remember getting the Fright Zone for my 6th birthday back in 1986 happy days !

I loved my Modulok, I'd say he was my favorite figure of the entire line, or at least top 5. But I was a kid super into Lego, Capsela, Zaks, Popples, and later K'Nex, basically any kind of building toy that snapped together, I had some pieces of a set if not a collection, so it was right up my alley. I recall the plastic being difficult to snap together, but not overly so, it was tough enough you could bang them on concrete if you had to, to pop a joint in. And while he lacks a Horde symbol, that just made him fit into any other adventure as a monster, so he could be fighting the Ghostbusters (Real or Filmation) just as easily as the Super Friends or the heroes of Star Wars, it was a huge range of figures at that scale and we all just mixed and matched as we liked.

The Evil Horde Slime Pit was so incredible. I remember getting this as a kid at Kay Bee Toys on clearance and it was one of my top He-Man toys ever. I would bash it with my GI Joes as a Cobra torture device as well......I miss those days, thanks for the memories!

funny how these videos refresh my mind. suddenly i remember figures i used to have as a kid that i have completely forgotten about.

Can we just give Kieth David a round of applause for Hordak in Masters of the Universe Revolution?

Anybody remember GI Joe’s “October Faction”, the Soviet heroes?

There is a reason I het the bell on your videos, not that I give to rats ass about MOTU, but because you make the subject interesting and informative. Thank you Tony!!!

Fantastic video! A real trip down memory lane. Thank you. I had completely forgotten about how much spit we had to use whenever we played with Moduloc!

Mantenna was one of the most durable figures. Always enjoyed playing with him.

I’m very fond of Modulok, though I must say it’s likely because he’s the only initial Horde figure that I never had. I eventually corrected this by picking up his Classics update.

The hype surrounding The Evil Horde was immense. They lived up to the hype too!

I had Modulok as a kid and LOVED it! I also remember getting the playset for Christmas.

1:53 in and I'm hyped already! Great introductory friend!👍

Modulok was awesome, got him for my birthday. I credit this toy with my superior strength development as a boy.

While mostly forgotten by now, Modulok was the most unique character in history of MOTU. He made his debut on He-Man series as member of Evil Warriors and later on She-Ra series he defected to Evil Horde. While many characters from He-Man series made guest or occasional appearances, Modulok was the only character who was moved permanently and was semi-regular character on both shows.

Excellent video! I love your documentary style videos of classic 80s toys

Fantastic video Tony! While I'm not a huge MOTU fan I still found this video very interesting. Really liked the cobwebbing in the background, definitely added to the theme of this group!

Instantly takes me back to my childhood! How I felt and did 😊

I love this sub group! I collect the Origins version of MOTU figures, and I hope they remake the Fright Zone.

Great story, my dad once back in the day stuck my LEECH toy to his forehead while showing off after getting home from the pub. He left it on a bit long, and had a huge red round lump there for about 3 days.

My dad's favorite villain by far was Hordak. He was fortunate to receive the first release horde figures and the Fright Zone for Christmas. But he was always disappointed by the horde trooper, since he only got to town every few months it was always sold out. (Joys of living in rural America in the 80s) My favorite thing about the MOTU toy line (other than dad letting younger me play with them) is watching dad's face light up watching the cartoon episodes on Saturday morning dvd binges.

I had all of these. Damn, the nostalgia is hitting hard right now.

i recently aqquired a Hordak on Ebay, and figured he needed a "BATTLE ANIMAL" to ride on as well, not knowing NOW.. that he had his own insect battle animal. i went and bought a second "PANTHOR" and did some painting, and configured a "CAT BATTLE ANIMAL" for Hordak, painted largely to resemble the rider in color. i don't ever do customs but for my first i am quite proud of my concept Hordak "BATTLE ANIMAL", which i named "GARR-GOYLE"!

I love the Evil Horde toys. I wish the origins line would release Catra and Scorpina

Modulok was my favorite, the robo one was great too!

Main Evil Horde members were basically new versions of main Evil Warriors: Hordak of Skeletor, Shadow Weaver of Evil-Lyn, Grizzlor of Beast-Man, Leech of Mer-Man, Mantenna of Tri-Klops... While she doesn't really have an Evil Warriors counterpart, Scorpia does bear similarities to Trap-Jaw. Also, Catra's animal form is very similar to Panthor.

Excellent video Tony. I was born in 1971 but didn't have many MOTU figures. I've begun collecting the Origins line but I really enjoy your videos on the vintage MOTU stuff.

Tony, thanks for keeping that feeling of racing down to the couch on Saturday morning, alive and well in your content!

Wow!! That took me back

Thanks for posting this, it's a great video. It looks like I dropped He-man in 1986 as I have some horde soldiers, the first 4, modiloc, few horde soldiers, Dragstor, and multibot, but I have never seen the next years releases before.

I stil have an unopened bottle of Evil Horde Slime.

From the original Evil Horde collection I think Modulok was the one who I liked the best. Mostly due to the endless ways to play assemble him. A very thought out toy. The robot counterpart Multibot paried really well with him

Loved the Horde faction! Universal monsters meet MOTU. My favorites are Mosquitor, Leech, Hordak. Then Grizzlor & Modulok(in the toon he originally worked for Skeletor). Also loved Monstroid. Lunataks in Thundercats were like the Horde for that series. Trap Jaw is my favorite character of all too.

6:01 M-133 salt vampire! You can skip all that MOTU mumbo jumbo and stick to the salt sucking. Sorry. I got distracted. Great video, Tony!

The only experience of he man and She Ra were the cartoons I never realised till now how big this toy line was

The gimmick toy-wise was nice in HeMan. Suction guy, the furry guy, the guy with moss all over his body, etc., etc.

I wish in the She-Ra show that the Horde went to Eternia way more, I thought in the beginning that it would happen , all we saw was the Etheria Heroes in Eternia for all ofe one Minute at the start of the Christmas special and Hordak at the memory portion of the secret of the Sword. great Video anyway, had those first Horde figures myself, thank you for your attention to them.

great vid, big collector, highlight of vid to me, mentioning Gregory the Bat, had that bad boy when a kid~

Really enjoyed this video. Took me back!!!

The Horde blew my mind as a kid

Tony, though I don't collect toys, it doesn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying your videos. Very interesting and informative. Thanks, mate. 👏

As a kid I was blessed to have many Masters of the Universe figures. I had the majority of the Horde toys including the base.

Best toy history channel on KZfaq! Cheers Sir and thank you💯🔥🤟🏽🙌🏽🤝🏽🤙🏽

Excellent video Tony!

As a kid and even today when I see the initial Evil Horde figures displayed next to each other I always kind of see the classic Universal Monsters. I wonder if the designers at Mattel in the 80s were inspired by them when designing the Evil Horde. Great video as always Tony.

Oh this video takes me back

Great vid thanks for the memories brother !!!

Waaay better than origins! Great video!

I definitely had some of those MOTU figures.

Always love your well produced documentaries on various parts of toylines. You are where I come tp broaden my knowledge on these lines, as I missed out on these toys as a child. Origins has helped me get the feel of the era at a reasonable price, however I do lacl knowledge of some of the figires from the line I have chosen, Mantenna being the perfect example.

Wow, this took me back. Thank u

Great stuff as ALWAYS Tony!

I never got any of the Horde figures...but that mosquitor is pretty cool. And you're right Tony, Castle Grayskull was the best of the best playsets!

Awsome upload and review - enjoyed every minute of it 🙂

I loved Modulok and the whole evil horde. I had all figures but no castles.

I was never into He man as a boy. But as a adult I really enjoy the design and all the features put into the figures and I am also checking out the 1980s Filmation cartoon too.

I still have my original Leech with crossbow, absolutely love him. I picked up Origins Hordak. Always reminds me of Christmas 1980s watching the He man She Ra Christmas special.

The evil horde and the battle damage he man and skeletor are the figured I have actual memories of getting because I was a little older by then. I had all of the classic figures and castle Grayskull but those were among the toys that I remember always just having because I was so young. Great video!

I'll never forget the first time I seen the Horde figures in their first commercial. I thought they were cool. I eventually got the first five. The Snake Men were cool too.

Another excellent and informative video, Tony. I have never collected MOTU figures, so this video was a great way for me to catch up on, " The Evil Horde! "

So awesome!! I always loved the Horde. Even as someone who’s not much of a ‘MOTU guy’, the Horre has always been awesome! Great video, Tony!

Nice documentary. I love it.

Loved those guys!!

Another absolute banger of a video Tony!!!!❤😎

I had forgotten just how MUCH I loved some MOTU before I was like 8 .. but for SUUUUURE the Evil Horde ALWAYS had better villains .. I like how they were for better or worse She Ra villains they still packaged them just as the Evil Horde so the boys still bought the shit out of them to fight the He Man figures . I got into transformers and never looked back after that but the older I get the more nostalgic I get for my first real toy love MOTU. One of the best Christmas’ I ever had was the year I got the fright zone and the slime pit. Didn’t know how good I had it back then. Makes me miss my dad 100%

Loooved the Horde Trooper when I was a kid. Always thought he looked so cool. Always thought Hordak was cooler than Skeletor when I was a kid too.

Fantastic video!! I was too young for the Horde figures, but just the right age to get Snake Men! What a great childhood I had,

Great Vid thanks Tony

Mosquitor's head reminds me very much of the alien resistance fighter "Nemesis the Warlock", from the comics of the same name in the legendary british magazine 2000.A.D.

Great video!

Fantastic retrospective. I thought I knew all about the Horde, but there were a few toys here I've never seen before. I loved the atmosphere of the Fright Zone, partly because of the box art. The puppet monster reminded me of the local legend of the Lambton Worm.

Oh, yah. I most definitely collect The Evil Horde!

Always love videos 👌

I look forward to the day a 3d printed show accurate Fright Zone will exist. Among all of the backgrounds and title cards in the cartoon the image of the Fright Zone actually looks frightening.

I had the Slime Pit as a kid, but I never poured the slime over any of my precious He-Man action figures...

Agreed 100% about the sub groups being more interested! 😮 Disagree 100% about Mantenna & Leech... they were awesome!

I enjoyed that thank you Tony Good work cheerio

I had two sets of the bad guys, i called them "The evil twin team!"

Horde Superior, Skeletor Inferior! great video Tony!

Leech - the master of clearance sales!

New MOTU movie announced, hope the Horde make an appearance!

Mattel actually had a full size version of the Slime Pit for a promotion at Universal Studios, along with actors dressed as He-Man and Skeletor. (I don't remember if Hordak was there, as only He-Man and Skeletor are in the photo my parents took.) Kids got a free Man-E-Faces that they could get autographed by He-Man and Skeletor, and that's when I started getting into the toys. I had Mosquitor, but a lot of these later guys I don't remember at all, like Dragstor and Multibot. The Modulok I had as a kid did not have the problem that yours had, so I guess they really did fix it.

Great video as always. The hoard marked my exit from He-man. I only had hordak and Leech. But the fact that the She-Ra figures were not compatible with He-Man (always weird to me) along with some odd concepts in the later years I just felt it had run it’s course. Dragstor is a prime example. Just too far into the weird. I also remember reading Modulok being difficult. It got to be a frustrating time.

Great video. I am not sure your intention was to have so many funny parts, but I laughed many times (maybe more than I should have)!

This video is absoLukely awesome! A Snake Men retrospective next?

Another top video. I had Hordak, Mantenna and Modulok as a kid. Never watched the She-Ra cartoon tho so I just thought they were more of Skeletor's goons.

Modulok (however it's spelled) was a super fun character. I think I got it when I was 5 or 6, and I don't remember having any problems with snapping parts together.

The Evil Horde, alongside with The Snake Men, were amongst my favorite MOTU figures growing up and, more often than not, I favored them as villains over Skeletor and his Evil Warriors. I was lucky enough to have most of The Evil Horde figures back then, with the exception of Modulok, Multi-Bot and the 2 Hordak variants (Hurricane and Buzzsaw); as well as having both The Fright Zone and The Snake Pit. Great video as always, Tony; it brought back some good memories of simpler (better) times.

I have collected since '82 (with a hiatus during New Adventures) and as a kid The Evil Horde quickly became my favourite team. They were big and imposing and seemed to come out of nowhere with a totally new look. Leech is still my second favourite character (not strictly the toy, but in art, sculpts, etc) and my number one favourite character since 1983 is still Trap Jaw, so it's always cool to see others who hold him dear to their hearts. I love your videos and obviously found you by your MotU videos, but learning of other lines from your videos is so enjoyable. As a kid we had to make difficult choices as to which line to mainly dedicate ourselves to. I stopped collecting Star Wars when MotU came out. But I was also intrigued by Transformers, Dino Riders and Insectoids among others. Thanks for another great video mate! PS: I agree, Mantisaur was the king of the steeds and one hell of a memorable toy in the line's declining years.

U have no idea how much i love motu

A GREAT video, as always, Sir! Your Mantisaur seems to have his legs on backwards, though it certainly makes him look imposing!

The Evil Horde were awesome, but my fave "3rd faction" were the Lunataks from Thundercats.

Tony, thanks for another great video. Generally speaking, I've always considered the first two years of He-Man figures to be the best ones of the line. I passed on the Horde when I was a kid, but they've grown on me over the years, and I'm now happy to own them. If anyone is a big Hordak fan, I recommend the DC Comics He-Man series from the 2010's. He's a very terrifying and powerful villain in that story.

I got into MOTU in 85 so many cool guys like Stinkor Syklone Twobad Spikor then they released The Evil Horde I remember thinking these guys were mindblowing and thought that an evil guy against the hero and the main evil guy Skeletor was really clever it really blew the boundaries of just Heroic vs Evil. Heman teaming up with his hated enemy Skeletor against Hordak was a really cool spin on MOTU, Cool how GI Joe had a similar arc ie Destro/Hordak and Zartan/King Hiss... Awesome Tony 👌

This is perfect timing. I’ve completed the MOTU collections thru 1984, and just recently decided to go for the Horde next. Tony, maybe you can do the Snake Men after i get these completed!!! Ha Ha…. Great content!!

Very nice video. I never heard of Monstroid....I would have definitely begged Mum and Dad for that one.....😂😂😂
