The Unnamed One Revealed!
Don’t Click! Turn Back now!

I honestly entertained the idea of not looking at The Unnamed One when pictures inevitably made their way online. It would’ve been an interesting experience to just open him and… well be happy or sad or whatever.

But we live in a Facebook World, and so much like loud music with the base too high or second hand smoke, the Unnamed One came billowing out of the internet today. It’s all good. I think it was better for me to see it now anyway, but I will give any errant soul who wandered in here a bit of spoilery space. If you scroll down, you accept all liability. Just sayin’.


TEELA!! Just kidding… keep scrolling…



Yep, it’s basically evil Orko. Or, really, it’s Krona from Green Lantern, y’know the Rogue Guardian? Yep. See he even has a big green hand in the package there! I don’t really mind this figure, a Rogue Trollan is kinda cool. It’ll be interesting to get the bio and see the alternate head…

  1. The Anti-Orko? THIS is the guy Neitlich has kept under wraps all these months???

    Oh, dear Lord…

    I grow less reluctant to sell off my MOTUC collection with each passing day.

    1. LOL. Can’t you just see old King He-Man, coming out of retirement to save Dare, rising from his throne, the bones creaking, he draws his trusty electric sword to arm himsel for this one last, epic battle, and then he says…

      “I’ve got to go kick evil Orko’s ass”.

      It probably sounded much better when Mattel thought of it… 😀

  2. I’m personally OK with it. I fully believe that anyone expecting something worth a damn had their hopes up way too high, especially after the 30th anniversary figures. I mean for all complaining people had over many of those fogs, you’d think they’d learn to not get theor hopes up over brand new figurea

    1. Probably a good assessment. Figurewise, I’m good, whatever. Bio-wise, I was foolishly hoping Mattel wouldn’t go this silly fan fiction route.

  3. Widdle Mitch is so darn cute!! I’m calling him Mitch! He’s so adowable! He’s almost suited for Care Bears or G1 of My Little Pony… That’s how cute he is! This guy is so adorable that he makes the Popples look like Nightmare Creatures… I mean look at Little Mitch doing some FFVII or Kingdom Hearts Cloud Cosplay!!

  4. Honestly, divorced from the idea that he’s supposed to be the greatest evil in the universe or whatever, I like the figure. I think the idea of an evil Trollan is interesting, and it’s a design I like.

    I didn’t sub, and I’ve been selling off a lot of my MOTUC stuff lately, but if he hits and is a huge flop and thus available for non-crazy prices, I could see buying him.

  5. I foresee many canceled preorders…. Hahaha

    Yeah, so now we see the REAL reason this wasn’t shown.

    If anything would be a sub DISincentive at this point, it’s a new character from the couldn’t-be-lamer Neitlichverse, which I hate is even part of the MotU lexicon.

    It’s not the worst figure in the line or anything, but if anyone had any doubts of that dude’s true intentions with line, they should finally be obliterated with this yet one more ego-stroking stunt.

    Can’t wait to be done with this line and that guy.

    1. The only thing that I don’t really care for in NOTU is the time travel aspect. It’s too unnecessarily complicated.

      Time travel may not be involved here. The Unnamed One is an SoH era villain apparently though I assume he’s been around the whole time. He could’ve snake manned up 5k ago. I hope so, because if time travel is involved and he makes the snake men in the past, then the only right thing for Spector to do is shut down his tampering and destory the whole MOTU timeline.

      1. The “only” thing, really???

        The bio writing and “storytelling” going on here is so derivative and crappy that any fanboy who posted this stuff as fanfic should feel lucky just to get ridiculed for it. But more than likely it would go totally ignored out of sheer embarrassment that someone actually made that kind of writing public. 😀

        1. you know me… totally with lay ze on this one… the only good ideas thusfar in the NOTU are those ripped from the myp ‘toon.

  6. He’s the accessory; Toyguru said 4 accessories not including the head. Package shows 3.

    Lower right corner; isn’t that Skeleteen’s head?

    1. The 4 Accessories:
      -Second Head for the Unnamed one
      -Green Hand (So Green Lantern)
      -Staff
      -Flight Stand because it’s a Trollan.

      1. Thanks! I was just trying to work that out. Brain freeze today.

        The green hand, as an aside, is completely lame. If we didn’t know about Scott’s predilection for Green Lantern and his viewpoint that the Trollans are the Guardians of the Universe, it might not be. But we do and it is.

  7. Totally fine with it. Good to expand yet another species on the MOTUC shelves. (Seriously, look how many one-off species characters there are — besides humans & Gars (are Gars considered a race of human or a totally separate species? I’m assuming the former?) the only other species we have more than one character of are Snakemen and whatever Hordak / Horde Prime are called.

    I’m happy to have another Trollan is what I’m saying. :-p

  8. Until this shows up in multiple online reviews, I’m gonna think this is a practical joke. Not that I don’t like the figure; I think he’ll grow on me, if this does eventually make it to my doorstep. It’s just that I was expecting something huge, winged, and bubble-filling with two heads.

    Anywho, we’ll see.

      1. D’oh! I love how we’re all grasping at straws at this point. 🙂

        I just hate how this figure was sold us as “HORSEMEN UNLEASHED!!!! BRAND NEW SCULPT!!!!!!”

        That thing is representative of the 4H and their work in the most slightest of ways.

  9. this one is obvious TROLL(: …there is no way that matty would uncover whole mystery just like that. but if everyone is so cool about that maybe whole 2014/2015 should be like unnamed one :D… little more than half of articulation and… lack of accessories- remember orko? he have Adam, right? :]

  10. LOVE….this….Figure!!!!!!

    He…..Looks….Like…

    …EVIL ORKO…

    From…the….He-man and the Masters of the Universe…. D.C. comic!!!!!!

  11. So, Nega-Orko?

    hurm.

    So, you He-Manners, tell me, is Scott going ‘all in’ with his epic narcissism now that the end appears to be nigh? How many ‘fanfic’ characters has he green-lit now? I would include all those 30th anny figs as it seems he went to all his special friends…

    1. The list of figures Scott has admitted to (inadvertently or otherwise) forcing into the line, with actual fan-demandedness varying, or non-existent:

      Chief Carnivus
      Mo-Larr and Lame Toothless Skelly
      “Mixed” Deco Man-E-Faces
      Lt. Spector (Scott boss-guilted the 4H into putting his likeness on the figure)
      The Mighty Spector
      Sir Laser Lot
      Cy-Chop
      Spirit of Hordak
      Nepthu
      Plundor
      Standor

      I think you also have to include the 3-packs. Even though I like FFM a lot, 3-packs with no discount was always a bad idea with this line, and the choices for the 3-packs couldn’t have been worse as far as widespread fan appeal.

      Beyond that, I’d lay the “vintigitis” blame solely at his feet for ruining potentially badass figures that were neutered at his “just like you remember” insistence.

      And I’d also include Mosquitor as an ass-kissy, “See I’m cool with the fans” move with Pixel Dan. No reason why Mosquitor couldn’t have been a 2013 or beyond figure.

      1. pretty sad when standor is the least objectionable addition to the line you’ve forced into it…

        though i have to call shenanigans on the vintigitis call… there was a very vocal end of the fnabase that were and still are that market. they exist, outside of scott’s imagination. i think they’re sick, but they’re there.

        1. Scott’s obsession with vintagitis was apparent and deeply entrenched from the outset.

          The packaging of the figures mimicking the original vintage layout, imposing nonsensical and sometimes aesthetically inferior parts recipes to duplicate the vintage figure recipe, the whole Keldor sword thing . . . I could go on . . .

          True, he likely felt bolstered by some lame vintage purist collective out there, but if we know anything by now, it’s that he does what he feels like, with or without ANY fan group’s approval.

      2. But it’s NOT “just as you remember it”, as far as I can tell. There’s a distinct lack of punching, sparking, squirting, blood-sucking, spinning and all the other things.

        Thank you Lay Ze-Man, for the hard work. I’ll give the Fighting Foe Men a pass because I like the idea, but agree they were overpriced.

        So then, the list as posted. Scott basically got an entire YEAR’S worth of releases done as ‘vanity’ work. That’s pretty impressive. And a little bit depressing.

  12. Now, remember kids, its not fanfic if the current brand manager approves it – it’s canon. And that is why people are so annoyed with things like this.

    Its a weak figure, a let down as an exclusive, and a ridiculous bio (The Ultimate Evil? Really?), but I have been ignoring figures and bios both for so long that I hardly have any excuse to get upset about this. I am annoyed that it is supposedly a $25 + shipping figure, with lots of new tooling and paint apps. We’ve already gotten an unpainted shield with Two-Badd; remember this when (not if) other established characters get shorted in some way again later this year.

  13. Maybe for 2015 we’ll get an apology?

    I keep hoping there’s more to this story like a lurking pack in fig (skeleteen would be fine)

    1. …unless Mattel has managed to break the laws of physics, there is nothing hiding in that package other than the second head and some kind of stand.

      1. A) we don’t 100% know this is legit
        B) we don’t know that the mentioned accessories are true either
        C) orko’s packaging pretty effectively stashed prince adam, so there’s figure-sized space under that trollan, if indeed he is legit.

        i know, i might be wishing on a star here, but, well… maybe wishes ARE fishes and the world’s an ocean! 😉

          1. Yes, Orko had an oversized bubble/card (not gonna say it, sorry). As for whether this is legit…you know what? Enjoy your dreams while you can. I’m not going to be the one to stomp on them. 😉

              1. you know what there homeopath? i don’t know what you get off on, so i don’t tamp down my inquisitive nature at your word. i got reasonable proof, that’s all i was after…

                but, i hold out hope that this not a legit reveal. might it be? sure. but much like screwing your own sister, i hold out hope that at some point in the shenanigans, both parties will realize what a mistake is being made and stop… so too here, i hold out hope that this travesty is not the disaster it appears to be. it may be legit, but given the diversity of custom orkos out there (which i find completely inexplicable), and the quality of average joe customizer, yeah, i’m suspect. especially given that while the leak was initially over facebook, the first many people i saw discussing it were all, perhaps merely by coincidence but perhaps not, all customizers. that does leave me suspect.

                i have yet to read anything official sounding, or even from a verifiable source, that this is legit. all it is at this point is a rumor repeated enough times to be real. till i get word from a horseman or tg or someone at mattel, or the figure starts shipping, i’m going to be skeptical. color me kooky. 😉

  14. My jaw dropped when I saw “Son of He-Man” on the package and I thought for a moment that He-Man had illegitimately fathered a child with Orko’s sister or something.

  15. Buncha whiny babies on this site. Reminds me why I stopped coming here and Poe’s Waaahmbulance shop.
