Zodak...Is That Your Boy?

The 2002 Masters of the Universe series was pretty damn cool, often much darker and more character-driven than its 1980's predecessor. It was arguably the best-realized iteration of the MOTU brand and one of the outstanding characters was the reimagined Zodak, who we will be getting this month as a bonus figure in the Masters of the Universe Classics line.

But wait, you ask. Didn't we already get Zodac? Yes, but this is Zodak. With a "K." He is a kit-bashed figure with a new paint scheme and some different deco and is envisioned as a separate character from the previous Cosmic Enforcer. I'm hoping that they will one day come out with Zodack. Or Zodaq. Or maybe Zodax. The possbilities are limited.

"Warning: Avoid mixing Zodak with alcohol. Pregnant women should avoid Zodak. Use of Zodak may cause some side effects, such as glowing symbols on your body and a deep hatred of snake people. Ask your doctor if Zodak is right for you."

Zodak is also notable for being the first black character in the MOTUC toy line, although this would mean a little more if we could actually see his face. I mean, c'mon. The first brotha gets in the line and he got his face all covered up? Seriously, why not just put him in a birka? They could have thrown in a bonus head on this guy since he only comes with 1 accessory, his staff. But still it's good to get him. Although rumor has it that his cosmic tattoos glow in the dark.





I wonder if there are therapists on Eternia? If they have any they are probably evil, Psychor: Evil Psychoanalyst of Skeletor.


Zodak goes on sale on October 15th at 12PM EST at mattycollector.com, the same day as Teela, which is ironic as I don't remember those two really getting along on the show. If you order them together, don't be surprised if they don't both make it in one piece.
