Happy Monday, MOTU fans! Today we’ve got another #MastersMonday post from the archives featuring another 1983 creature from the vintage Mattel Masters of the Universe toyline: Zoar!
Zoar, known as the ‘Fighting Falcon,’ is an orange-and-blue repaint of an eagle mold previously used in both the Big Jim toyline and the Louis Marx Lone Ranger line. Initially, Zoar was depicted as a mount for Teela and Man-At-Arms. With the introduction of the Filmation He-Man animated series, Zoar’s role was redefined: The Sorceress could only leave Castle Grayskull in the form of the falcon, Zoar.
This change resulted in Zoar having bright orange features, except in certain later mini-comics. My vintage Zoar also appears to be in Sorceress form at the moment, so this Masters of the Universe Classics version will have to stand in. This works well, as the vintage Zoar was released as a gift set with Teela, with packaging artwork inspired by Rudy Obrero’s designs used on Zoar’s solo release.
