they seem to be going all out with the creatures for motuc. first mention of the giants tytus and megator plus lord dactus amongst others from the 2007 line. i'm really excited since they are looking ino these figues and hopefully can get them out before the line ends. bonus releases would be the way to go and the best chance we'd have of ever seeing them.

i also have to wonder what shot gygor has as an sdcc exclusive next year? so far we've gotten two major heroic leaders and logic points to eldor as being next but heres hoping they shake things up a bit in motuc like they did with the wonder twins for the sdcc 2009 dcuc exclusive.

i'm w/ baena here, i could totally see him as another master, but not as a mount for he-man. he-man has ONE mount and that one was purrrfect (imagine eartha kitt saying it.)

now, you change up the colors a tad, like maybe GitD and some skeleton bones… and he's make a KILLER mount for scareglow!!

or maybe an orange and green as a MAA mount…

Not sure how I feel about him.

I've no doubt the Four Horsemen would do an amazing job. So I reserve final judgement until then. I know Eric especially loves sculpting the animals, so I know he'd do Gygor justice.

I'm just not entirely wild about his armor and cape… The armor feels more Star Wars than MotU.

Is he a heroic mount? Or just a warrior? I think I'd rather he just be a warrior of sorts vs. a mount.

If he is a mount, he won't be replacing Battle Cat in any way for me.

But like I said, I've no doubt the Four Horsemen would make him amazing. He's definitely a cooler figure to me than say, Adam, Orko or Mekaneck.

I agree–Grodd over Beastman–though a new sculpt would be preferred.

@mjturny23: I agree. Grodd does look like he would work as a base, and I'm betting that within a month or so we'll see a customized Gygor from one of the toy customizers. (Well, I hope we'll see one.)

I would prefer Grodd than Beast man as a base for Gygor, with a new head sculpt, armour and legs.

I hope it doesn't look like Tim Burton's Planet of the apes.

Speaking of DCUC sculpting, the lower legs on almost all the figures is really off looking.

@Crazy: I can't judge until I see it, but I don't like the idea of re-using the Grodd mold for Gygor. It's just not in the same sculpting style as MOTUC, and I'm not sure it would look good alongside the other figures. You can get away with something small like Zoar.

They could totally make one of those with the Gorilla Grodd mold.
