MOTU 30th - Dreadaway

Finally finished, my set of the Four Horsemen (The Toy sculptors for Masters of the Universe Classics) for my MOTUC 30th Anniversary Meejitz.

This is Dreadaway ( Based on Eric Treadaway), representing Death in the line-up.

BIO: Once part of Vikor’s nomadic tribe, Dreadaway is the leader of The Four Horsemen. Before he was known as Erik, a mighty warrior, who sought glory and honour. When asked to protect the Sword of He, Vikor also sent his best warriors to find other great relics of power so that they would not fall into evils grasp. Erik went to find the Armour of Muerte, said to be indestructible and would bestow the bearer with immortality. After many years of searching, and losing his entire band of men, Erik discovered the armour. He decided he would don the armour and arrive home, a hero. As he placed the final piece on, he felt a surge of pain like electricity, and with that Erik was no more. His soul lost in the void, only his body remained (Which would become the skeleton that inhabits the armour now). The armour was cursed, needing a willing body to bring it back to life. Now called Dreadaway, it went on a rampage, killing and feeding the souls of its victims to his Scythe. This caught the attention of Vikor, who met with the demon armour and a great battle ensued. The armour was over-confident and didn’t count on the Sword of He being of great power. Vikor sliced off the face plate of the helmet, revealing Erik’s face underneath. Saddened by the revelation, Vikor swung his sword again, knocking the stunned Dreadaway into a gorge below. It would be a few years before Dreadaway resurfaced again, now in charge of a group of outcasts known as The Four Horsemen, Hordak’s Team of Destruction. How it came to be in Hordak’s service is unknown, but the hate for the Sword of He burns brightly and Dreadaway won’t stop till it has destroyed the blade which took a piece of it.
