"Bloody Brilliant mate!". I can totally see this as something Mattel would have/should have brought out in the 80's. Once again the K.I.S.S principal is the best method. Keep up the great work.

Idk why but I always get excited for the _LEGO Destruction._ 😂👍👍

Always my favourite parental guidance warning.🙂

This is the sort of custom toy I'd happily buy from an online seller. One that looks every bit as good as the original toys but taken just slightly further.

The restorations are awesome but I love when you do something custom. This came out great!

Once again another amazing custom and a great use of a broken piece

A neighbor put about 2 & 1/2 5-gallon buckets of LEGO on the trash pile last week. I have some sorting to do. Thought of you as I snagged it all.

This is a remarkable customization. I always had a feeling that this Zodac character was heavily inspired by the Jack Kirby's "Metron", of the New Gods. Metron also had a "cosmic chair". Other characters in Masters first waves, where I surmise an influence from Kirby's earlier work, are Merman and Man-e-faces.

i've only few masters accessories beside the figures, never liked so much them back in time as kid. This? this is something i've could bought in a millisecond as kid. i can already imagine it as deluxe pack with Zodac on shelf in stores. AMAZING, as usual.

nice! for another custom idea, you could use white plasti-dip to give Zodac white gloves like in the cartoon

Looks well great fits Zodac well and with the added detail gives it a great all round look.

You did once again a marvelous job by making Zodac`s throne. I`m really a fan of you.

Very creative Toy Polloi if only Mattel at the time in the 80's would of released this, it would of been awesome though. You creating this yourself is unbelievable and showing us how to make/create our very own. Great job, You Rock!!! ;)

A great way to make use of the throne. I expect my son will want one.

Love the idea of making retro style accessories! Very nice as always

What an amazing result. That looks so cool. I love that a broken piece gets saved and also you have something on display that nobody else has. And when people see it, it looks like an unreleased toy! Congratulations! Clever and amazing.

Smashing work 👏🏼 The colour choice was right, had the vibe of motu

Dave! Wow!! What a phenomenal custom!!! It really looks like the one from the cartoon but with that little added detail to make it really pop. Excellent use of the throne. Cheers!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Brilliant.

I love it!! I really enjoy watching you fabricate pieces from styrine! If you ever do another chair like this, might I recommend that you create a few custom decals? I think that adding some decals would cement it into the look of the vintage MOTU toys even more! You're such a whiz at recreating and creating decals, that would be extra fun to see! As always, you've done a dynamite job of taking something old and broken, and giving it new life! That chair makes for a fun Zodac display!

Well done, Dave!

Excellent custom 👍

Great idea. I have an extra throne in my castle Grayskull and Zodac has been sitting in it. I can't wait to make this . great video.

You know what? In my opinion, just with blue color, looks much more legitime than with the rest of paint, because all that motu toys, had just the plastic colors (as much, stickers) with de rest of colors, it looks like a modern toy. Anyway, super cool idea and I love it!

The front piece of styrene could have been textured to stand out more and look like carpet, thats how i imaging they would have made it back in the day

Wow! Brilliant custom work Dave. Loved this video.

Brilliant custom. It's easily something I can see Mattel having released back in the day. The only thing I'd maybe add is a clip on the back for Zodac's weapon (even though it wasn't present in the show).

This looks absolutely phenomenal. Ironically enough. I've been thinking about doing this myself for a while. I had been waiting to come across a throne that was sorta damaged, but not to much. I don't like taking perfectly good toy parts and modifying them. I like to use ones that are already broken. Like you do. Just did receive the one in the mail I got off of eBay the other day for $3.00. hadn't had a chance to start it yet. You read my mind the way you did this one. The Only real difference was I planned to make the rocket rails a slightly larger diameter. Simply to match the styrene tubing I already have. I'll have to send you a picture of mine when finished. I also thought about using some glow in the dark paint to accent some of the details. Should look pretty cool. As always Dave thank you for all you do. I absolutely love this style of video. I'm all about the construction, or reconstruction of pieces and parts. Original or some kind of cool custom. Thanks again Dave. Looking forward to your next video, and receiving this year's annual. I'm still reading the last one. Lol I'm sure this one won't disappoint either.

Great video!!! Just to throw out another idea using a broken throne... The character of Zodac is a riff on a Jack Kirby created character from the New Gods universe, Metron and his Mobius chair. Perhaps from some broken MOTU figures and a broken Grayskull throne, you could create a custom Metron figure and Mobius chair to display with your new Zodac chair and figure, a bit like a family gathering. Keep up the great work!

A few people have mentioned that. It's not one I know so I will do some research.

So I love and appreciate the restoration videos, you've helped me fix some stuff over the years, but this kind of video is what I love, its creative, it's recycling, repurposing something old into something new, LOVE IT, I am doing something similar myself right now. keep it up!

Hey Dave. I very much like this idea of building something and then going a bit further. Quite imaginative to say the least. Nicely done. Thanks.

Wow, that turned out great! As a kid I snapped the throne off of the Castle Grayskull on accident just to make a flying Zodak throne so it's neat that you did that :D (edit) Taking the throne off the base was NOT an accident but snapping the peg off of the bottom of the throne was :D (edit 2) I feel like to make it something like what you might see as a vintage toy it could use a sticker on the back of the chair. Not that you can see a sticker anyway with Zodak sitting in it.

A cup holder would have been nice,well a goblet holder seeing as its MOTU.

increiiiible!!!!!!!

Awesome work!

Yes, you are right. They do look like that. Could be a simple way to making them.

You should use skateboard grip tape on the part that is raised under his feet. That would bring a lot of depth tonit

Nice. Been toying with that idea for quite a while for my spare throne as well. I think the version depicted in the DC comics from '83 is somewhat more interesting to look at than the Filmation one, but that's personal preference.

I used to pretend castle grayskulls throne was zodacs cosmic chair as a kid. I would just sit him in it in the castle though. Never removed it with the fear of breaking it.

Have you shown Pixeldan he loves a bit of MOTU

Zodac's Mobius Chair.

I’d be curious to see your design for some custom stickers for the chair back and floor panels (maybe a TP2 video). For the coup de grace, what about LED lights for the jets?

@toypolloi

I did think about stickers on this, but with Zodac in place you don't see much on the chair. And the simplistic look of the cartoon is quite pleasing. But I could certainly come back to this in future and add more to it.

I recently purchased a second hand Zodak on ebay and then got to wondering what side of the MOTU he stood? I really should watch the MOTU Animation series again on YT.

He's a cosmic enforcer. So I don't think he is on either side.

Was Zodac a take on DC's Orion?

Hi, this is now in my collection. It's easy and fun to make your own. Give it a go.

Well done, Dave. However this further illustrates how much Mattel/Filmation aped Kirby’s Fourth World with many of their MOTU concepts. The Cosmic Chair is a shameless rip-off of Metron’s Mobius Chair. Hey I love MOTU as much as anyone but credit where credit is due.
