Just can't seem to get that little nudge that puts me into the top three! Aw well, maybe next time . . . . Anyway, next entry in my MOTU Hybrid line is a look at what should have been. Well, technically these are ALL "what should have been," since these are the toys we all WISH Mattel had made. But I digress, this one is a particularly egregious example of executive meddling, and yet, due to the awesomeness of the fandom AND the Four Horsemen, he STILL managed to become part of the greater canon. Let's hear it for Zodac!
MOTU Hybrid is my attempt to unify the best of all three MOTU eras. The ideas (i.e. color schemes and concepts) of the original cartoon, the sculpts of the 2002 toys, and the articulation of modern figures, at a far more reasonable cost. Of course, when your 2002 toy never gets released to the public, some improvisation will be required. Or a LOT of improvisation, as the case may be.

He defends Eternia from the Snake Men and King Hiss, who killed his brother. He is master of many fighting techniques (like an Eternian version of a Shaolin monk), and is determined to avenge his brother’s death.
I used a Jakks WWE Bobby Lashley head and painted the eyes white as Zodak was often shown without his helmet in 200X series. I chose this head because of the intense and enraged facial expression it had as if he was doing a war cry or a triumphant shout of victory.](userimages/customs/43500/43131-1.jpg) Zodak (Unmasked) |
![[Zodak] This is just for fun. Thought it was a cool idea and wanted to share it. This can be done for light sabers, light construct staffs, and any color laser beams. The reason for this simple custom is...guys, I put my hand threw a window and cut my tendons that go to my thumb. 18 stitches and now my dominant right hand is in a cast. I hope this teaches me to paint left handed but I tell you it's so hard switching hands.
Attach drink stirrer ball end with rare earth magnet-attach magnet on tip of gun. Do about 3 different layers of superglue to make it permanent. In the comic Zodak had a red staff so I gave him one. The laser beam can be removed on and off now that you got magnets. Typing one handed, sorry for the weird format!
I'm way behind, I just started collecting motu classics, anyone that wants to liquidate any of theirs...let me know what you got!

Her destiny however has yet to be determined. She is another character that will be making her appearance in action figure tales.
The figure’s helmet was sculpted from a modded cast of a 200X Zodak figure, then sculpted into a female head. I added some hair on her back to better distinguish her from the guys as the helmet alone looks too male-ish.
Since it’s a character created by me, has a brand new bio shown in her video, giving you an insight of who she is.](userimages/customs/39500/39205-1.jpg) Female Zodak (Zeehlara from Etheria Classics) | ![[General Zod] Okay back again with my version of Zod this is how I envision him upon his return from the Phantom Zone.

![[General ZOD] So This is my Ultimate Zod he had to feel like every Zod combined into one. So I went through ever pic of him I could find. And was amazed that his face has been more or less the same in every version of the character even the movie version had a similar face structure and hair color. Going through my head bin I found a Dr strange head and it was the most reminiscent of the face. Then I wanted to incorporate each look in to the costume he has had several hats through out his tenure as Zod but the beret fit in-between 3 of those so I chose a beret. Gave him the Kryptonian glasses. Now I decided against the Armored body Zod as he never seems to have that when Non or Ursa are present and there is some debate if that is General Zod or his grandfather Zod. And as I really liked the coat in his new appearance but the movie one still seemed the most all inclusive I chose a Shawn Micheal's Body and repainted it to match the look I wanted and took the DC Direct Zod coat of repainted it and the](userimages/customs/34500/34297-1.jpg) General ZOD D.C.

My love for these movies flooded back, I felt great emotion. I really loved the evil characters of the Phantom Zone villains, and how Superman would have been defeated if he did not quickly outsmart them. I have a love for figures in the 3.75 inch size, because that is what I had when I was a kid. I bought the Infinite Heroes Superman for my son. People complain that this line doesn't feature enough articulation, but I say it is just enough because they are much sturdier than Marvel Universe figs. So I thought that generally the current selection of Superman villains in this size was almost non existent. How many times can you use Lex Luthor? So I got an idea when I saw a fig that slightly resembled Zod. I had never made a custom fig before, and hesitated for days to get it. When I did, and made it, I was so pleased with the result that I bought two more figs to make into NON and URSA.

![[Zodak] Well it feels like forever since my last submission, I thought/hoped I'd have lots of customizing time this summer but I hadn't planned on the 10,000 jobs my wife would create. Anyhoo, here's the next in my MOTU Line it's the cosmic enforcer Zodak. I couldn't get one of his staffs in time so I just created this one, he is known to use many other weapons anyway. The gun is a nod to the vintage Zodak.
Recipe
Head = 200x Zodak - dremmel to fit.
Helmet = 200x Zodak.
Torso = DCUC Guy Gardner.
Chest plate and backpack = 200x Zodak
Upper Arms = DCUC Guy Gardner.
Lower Arms and hands = DCUC Batman.
Arm Armour = 200x Zodak - hollowed out then simply slid over batman arms.
Emblems on hands = 200x Zodak, sliced off then dremmeled to a thin piece.
Loin Cloth = 200x Zodak
crotch and Upper legs = DCUC Guy Gardner
Lower legs = DCUC Batman and 200x Zodak grafted to fit.
Feets = DCUC Batman, resculpted the details.
Staff/ sword = Lego Bionicle for the blade and some unknown missile for the handle.](userimages/customs/32000/31974-1.jpg) Zodak | ![[General Zod] General Zod is another one I've been working at for a while.

In my zeal to get that head for my Chris Reeve Superman, I forgot about my rule about not wasting stuff. SOOO I didn't want that cool NK Superman body to go to waste! I took the head of a DC Direct Superman from the Origins line and cut off his hair. I shaved it down with an X-Acto to get a clean scalp, then popped it on the NK Supes body.
Next, I sculpted his head in the style of Zod from the Superman II film. I then sculpted ALL over the WHOLE body, adding puffy sleeves, shirt, the collar and suit lining, puffy pants and those thigh-high 70's DISCO boots!
I sprayed him flat black, then did a very, very, very light dry brush of flat aluminum all over to give the suit that reflective look. Basically a dusting. For the collar, lining,and boots, I added a little extra flat aluminum, and then clear coat red. After several coats, you see the effect and I think it came out pretty cool.
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
