Classics Orko : Heroic Court Magician

Orko was the 2010 SDCC exclusive figure. While he was available for non-attendees as well, there was a significant difference in the two versions: the SDCC Orko became transparent when immersed in warm water. Also, the book accessory that came with the SDCC Orko had the SDCC logo on it. While I did like the color change feature, I felt the regular Orko bore better resemblance to the vintage, as well as to the Filmation Orko. So, I kept my SDCC copy mint and opened my regular Orko. The regular Orko sold out under an hour.

Bio:
Real Name: Orko
After the rise of the Horde Empire, evil again outweighed the forces of good in the five dimensions. So in every generation, a Cosmic Warrior was recruited by the Overlords of Trolla to fight against evil. Each was given the Sword of He, a weapon infused with the Power of the Universe. They were also assigned a Trollan guide to watch over and advise them in their quests. On the planet of Eternia, after five centuries of being split in two, the Trollan Power Sword was at long last joined and bequeathed to an heir worthy of it’s power - Prince Adam of the royal household. Orko, a member of the Trollan magical elite, was assigned to watch over Adam. Although he was a powerful mage on Trolla, the hidden mystic properties of Eternia turned his magic into little more than entertaining tricks, which he uses to entertain his friends and remain undercover.

Orko comes with a scepter, book and a fully articulated Prince Adam. 
Yes, Orko comes with Prince Adam, who in turn comes with a power sword, a half power sword and an alternate head.
