SUMMARY:
The Spain Hordak can be identified by its striking white face paint, translucent leg bands, dark red hues, and dark glossy black tones. The figure and the armor are marked © Mattel. Inc. 1981 MADE IN FRANCE, the bat shield is marked MALAYSIA, and the crossbow is marked FRANCE.
The bat is very similar to a Malaysia bat, except that it is slightly darker, and appears to have a subtle texture. I can tell this by comparing them side by side, but it's so subtle it doesn't really show up in photos. The red bat emblem is slightly darker than a standard Malaysia Hordak, and the blacks on the figure are darker and glossier than a standard Malaysia figure as well.
