In what may be an ordinary reveal–or an attempt to divert fan attention from Tuesday’s fiasco–Mattel has posted images of the packaged Optikk, the MOTUC May figure, on their Facebook page. (Pics at the bottom of the post.)
Bio:
Space Mutant Spy for Skeletor
Real Name: (pronounced through a series of blinks)
A Space Mutant from the foggy polar region of the planet Denebria, Optikk’s spyeye eyeball is specially adapted to see through the dense Denebrian fog of his homeworld, making him an ideal spy. He carries a Photon Neutralizer which has made him one of the most feared of the Space Mutants in the Tri-Solar System. Optikk allied himself with Skeletor shortly after the Lord of Destruction defeated Hordak and turned his ambition to the Horde Empire, forming a coalition of mutants and outcasts to conquer the universe. Optikk serves Skeletor by keeping an eye on He-Man and all of the Galactic Protectors of the planet Primus.
My thoughts:
–The “Space Mutants” logo is awesome. Love the tentacles. Kind of looks like something out of Futurama.
–Looks like he does come with the alternate eye–it’s not a variant. That’s cool, if perhaps unnecessary…still, it’s great to get the extra head as well as that badass blaster and the shiny new shield. Mattel and the Horsemen went all-out on this one.
–Looks like the storyline of The New Adventures of He-Man is now more or less canon for MOTUC.
