Much like He-Ro, Gygor the gorilla made it as a prototype into the vintage line but no toy has been made&#8230;until now. <\/p>\n<p>Originally based on the &#8220;Big Jim Gorilla&#8221; (much like Battlecat or Zoar) Gygor was set to be a large gorilla figure in the 1982 line. While he was cut due to logistics, we are proud to present the first ever MOTU Gygor figure in the new Classics line. Truly, this is what the MOTUC line is all about. <\/p>\n<p>Gygor will be the third oversized beast in the 2010 line and will go on sale September 15th. He will not be part of the subscription (but the beasts will be added to the subs in 2011 per fan demand!)<\/p>\n<p>The final oversized beast\/pack for 2010 will be an army builder two pack shown off at our fan panel at SDCC on Friday July 23 at 1:00 in room 29ABC.

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&#8217;s forces against the new Horde army. Gygor uses his great strength to fight the Heroic Warriors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mattel also shared a few more pics with us to show Gygor&#8217;s size:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"resources\/motuimages\/gygorPA3.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"resources\/motuimages\/gygorPA1.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"resources\/motuimages\/gygorPA2.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t have the Big Jim gorilla or Grodd handy, we tossed this together in photoshop to show Gygor next to He-Man &#038; Tytus:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"resources\/motuimages\/gygorscale.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h4>Gygor&#8217;s Bio has been added to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?page_id=5677\">MOTUClassics.com Bios<\/a> page.<\/h4>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon on Facebook, Matty showed pictures of Gygor in package.
