By combining the Skeletor and He-Man model sheets you can see below what the character may have looked like in the hands of Filmation. Below are two versions; on the left is Faker colored as the action figure; and on the right colored as he is pictured on the backs of the Mattel cards.

Faker; possibly one of the most wasted characters in the He-Man series.

I agree completely, he was very wasted, which is a massive shame :(
Faker deserved something bette.
He didn't even have a chance into the 200x MOTU era :(
Love the Filmation touch-up, James, and the colors are brilliant as well! :)
It would have been a treat if a follow-up episode was created, featuring Faker being rescued from the Abyss, by Skeletor, and Skeletor casting a spell on Faker to give him more power and capabilities ... The different colors would have been a visual extension to the character becoming more powerful!
Thanks for posting and reading! God Bless...

Awesome that you made both color-versions. Though now I am waiting for you to do a mock-up of Filmation Faker with "skeletor arms" and/or Skeletor's loin-cloth.
If you don't, I will make that mock-up sooner or later. ;)
