Spotted Online – Masters of the Universe Classics 2014 Subscription Exclusive Figure Reveal
The 2014 Masters of the Universe Classics (Amazon.com search*) exclusive figure, Unnamed One, is revealed in this he-man.org thread . . . and I love it! The evil Trollan looks great to me and I’m left a bit stunned at the negative responses in the thread.
Why do so many seem to hate this? It seems to do with expectations. A lot of fans were following the various Mattel teasers and they got a bit more excited about the figure than they probably should have. I basically ignored everything that was posted, so the first I really even noticed what was happening with the exclusive was when I saw these pics a few hours ago.
I guess being too busy to follow everything online worked out to my advantage this time. Good thing my subscription headaches got resolved last week.

Yes, “HOW TO COMPLAIN” was inspired by the brouhaha over this figure. Well, and lots of other stuff, but this last one was the tipping point.
Dude, how about a spoiler alert?
I’m not up on my 200x MOTU history, but this character was revealed to be the biggest of the big-bads, right?
Anyways, he’s pretty neat and a unique addition to the line. I can imagine folks complaining (because it’s such a big part of our hobby) but don’t think they have reason to.
From my perspective, the figure is a little underwhelming for an exclusive. Match him against Light Hope and it’s not even close
I think he’s fabtastic!
Although I think it would be confusing to people who don’t pay close attention to MOTUC that he has a huge sticker saying “Son of He-Man!” That and the Unnamed One actually has a name :-/
I wish people would really consider this, “if you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all.” I did not get the MOTU line this year but this is kinda making me regret it.
I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers but the pussy is out of the box now. Just from Twitter I gleaned that Unnamed One was going to be an Evil Trollan i.e. Gorpo.
I swear I don’t say this just to be contrarian, but I really like this. Honestly, a lot more than another “big bad” which would roughly translate to the standard male buck with a cool newly sculpted head by the 4H. Take Horde Prime for instance… they didn’t reveal his face and when they finally did it was like, “okay, he looks like Hordak, only with facial hair…”. I wasn’t sure if Unnamed One would turn out to be some sort of snake faced dude or perhaps an evil version of an existing character.
I don’t know who/what fans expected and why people are reacting like this, but as with pretty much everything else with this line it’s to be expected.
too many people enjoy getting butt hurt about MOTUC to the point where the lose sight of just enjoying the line for what it is. This is a cool little figure. Like you I ignored everything about this (I even forgot what it was supposed to be.) so now that it’s coming out I can honestly enjoy opening him up
