Gygor Evil Fighting Gorilla

Real Name: Gygor

Shortly after the Great Unrest, Keldor was driven behind the Mystic Wall and Gygor, Lord of the Vine Jungle, led an army of beast men in a series of raids against the long forgotten Castle Grayskull, believing the many tales of its great and mysterious power. It was only through the combined powers of Oo-larr — the jungle He-Man — and The Goddess that Gygor was defeated and placed in a state of suspended animation. Eventually, Hordak returned to Eternia and the savage gorilla was freed by Evil-Lyn in her attempt to bolster Skeletor’s forces against the new Horde army. Gygor uses his great strength to fight the Heroic Warriors.



Accessories: Battle Axe, Helmet

Ask Matty! September 15th 2010

Hey all! Here's the September 15th Q & A!



1.) You confirmed in the last Q & A that the possible reissues of characters like He-Ro and Tytus would now have the "Powers Of Grayskull" sticker affixed to their packaging. Is there any plan to make the stickers available separately to fans who own the originals but would like to have the logo on their packages, or are they just stuck buying the reissue if they want that look?

We are indeed looking into this, but nothing to announce right now.

2.) Since Buzz-Off uses the same feet as Whiplash, will he also lack peg holes or was this caught in enough time to fix it?

Yes, we did catch this and he will have holes in his feet.

3.) It's been a year since the first Art Book... Is there any chance we'll ever see a second volume or is that not something even on the radar any more?

The Art Book is something that was done by the design group, and this year they chose to do a set of art prints instead to help raise money for the Make–A-Wish Foundation. We’d love to do another book, but right now there are no direct plans.

4.) Since the upcoming DCUC VS MOTUC Mer-Man's paint scheme is directly inspired by his mini-comic appearance, can we expect that if Trap Jaw were to be included in one of these packs he would also get the same treatment (green skin, furry boots, etc.)?

This would be a great idea for a Trap Jaw repaint, but nothing to announced right now.

5.) It seems Masters of the Universe Classics has covered just about every incarnation of the MOTU mythos at least once now... except one- The 1987 Masters of the Universe live action film! We know we are getting a Cosmic Key with the Preternia disguise He-Man, but we're talking about a full-fledged figure release, not just an accessory. Can you confirm if we will be seeing at least one of the 3 movie characters done in the vintage line (Blade, Saurod, or Gwildor) as a Classics release in 2011? Pretty please?

Sorry, we can’t comment on any figures past King Hssss for now, but we’d love to get to this trio sooner then later! It would be fun to do Gwilder and a new, more “vintage toy” version of the Cosmic Key!

That gives me hope for Gwildor! Woo hoo! Thanks again to Mattel for taking the time to do this!

Whiplash Evil Tail-thrashing Warrior

Real Name: Torrant Krazut

Following their father’s untimely death, Torrant grew up bitter under the rule of his older brother Ceratus. After years of brooding in Sub-Ternia, he struck a deal with a surface dweller named Keldor and helped lead his forces in a raid against Randor’s army during the Great Unrest. Although Keldor’s plan failed, Torrant was banished from Sub-Ternia for betraying his people. He was taken in by his former employer and quickly rose up through the ranks, staying with Keldor even after his transformation into Skeletor, serving as his chief brute squad enforcer. His thick hide and stubborn intellect have made him more than a match for the Masters of the Universe®, often leaving only He-Man to defeat him. Whiplash uses his thrashing tail for doom and destruction.



Accessories: Spear, 200X-style Weapon



Additional Parts: Whiplash also includes an extra head inspired by his look from the 200X line.

1x Photon Crossblaster
1x Scimitar Blade
1x Pest Pulverizer

2 variations are available- The black version seen above, and this silver set:



The black set, called the "Dark Arsenal of the Space Pirate", seems to be a natural fit for the MOTU Classics Trap Jaw figure! The attachments fit easily into Trap Jaw's robotic arm socket, and Trap Jaw's existing weapons can plug into the Spy Monkey hilt and pistol!









The silver variation, known as the "Tools of the Master Strategist", look to be a perfect match for the upcoming MOTU Classics Roboto figure. Until he arrives, ol' Trappy will show us how they look-



Once Roboto arrives, I'll update this post with pics of him.

UPDATE- Roboto has arrived!
