The sides of the packaging also include several creatures as well.

I love the illustrations on the inner flap which shows how to use his arm attachment action feature.

Figure Details

Here we can see the pack out for Hurricane Hordak. He comes with three spinning accessories – double blade, gripping claw, and bola, plus his arm cannon. He also includes an alternate punk rocker head based on his original concept sketches.

Taking a closer look at the figure, you can see the gorgeous gold VUM (Vac metal) chest. He has a large red Hordak bat on his chest and a sculpted bat on his back as well.

Close ups of his chest and back.

Mini Comic

We have the entire mini comic “Eye of the Storm” here for your reading pleasure. There are several teases in here as well! Love the use of Jet Sleds!

After Hordak’s exile to Despondos, the people of Eternia celebrated — but their joy was short-lived. Dark shadows and cold winds swept across the land, followed by a fierce red light bleeding from the horizon, signaling a new danger. Despite his banishment by Skeletor and She-Ra, Hordak had found a way to launch one last attack. The Sorceress reveals that to defeat this new threat, the heroes must venture into the heart of the storm and face the Storm-Maker.

He-Man and the Masters brave the blood-red skies, flying straight into the violent storm while others would run in fear. Battling brutal winds that toss them like ragdolls, they push forward. At the storm’s core, Sy-Klone uses his own spinning power to counter the twister’s force, revealing the true mastermind behind the chaos.

At the storm’s center, the Masters confront Hordak, who reveals he’s using the storm as a bridge to permanently merge Eternia with the dark realm of Despondos. Refusing to back down, the heroes face him head-on. Hordak transforms and attacks, but a powerful clash between the forces of good and evil erupts. Just in time, a lightning bolt strikes, and Hordak is once again banished back to the Shadow Prison of Despondos.

Update Hi Res Images:

Roy Juarez has posted the hi-res images of the Hurricane Hordak box art and it looks stunning! Be sure to check out our Hurricane Hordak MOTU Origins Box Art Teases Despara, Dragstor, and Bug Eye for more information on the incredible box art teases on this artwork.

We can see a cool scene that features Hurricane Hordak front and center with his bola and Despara, Dragstor, and the new characters that were featured on Modulok’s box art! We believe the green character could be Bug Eye, a deep cut concept from the Masters of the Universe Classics era created by the amazing and talented Axel Gimenez, but he confirmed that is not is this Instagram post!

Calling all vintage collectors! Hurricane Hordak, the ruthless first variant interpretation of this hostile Horde leader, swirls into the Origins line. Pulling his design from the figure first released in 1986. Staying true to his original look, he sports shiny VUM golden armor and wields a robot cannon arm with multiple threatening attachments. Etheria, be warned: this alternate reality version is even more powerful and dangerous than the villain She-Ra has fought before.

Angled views of the packaging are below. You can see how the art work wraps around.

We can’t wait to see and hear what the new character’s name will be once he (hopefully) makes it into plastic form.

As we got an early peak at Hordak’s official images a couple days ago, these are much clearer and show more of the details. The arm cannon fits over his hand and you can see all of the fierceness in his alternate head, inspired by one of the character’s original sketches.

Here is a short video of Hordak’s action feature:
