GRIZZLOR arrives as the latest addition to our MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE collection. I think I could probably write a whole series of articles in which I go on and on about how little I know about Masters of the Universe. I could even include my own write-ups where I desperately seek to explain my own misconceptions about the characters, trying to tell a story based on their appearances alone.
Fortunately, I’m going to spare you that and just get the text straight from the folks at Mattel:
With utter and total mindlessness, this brutal beast has a single mission: to defend his beloved Horde Empire against the good that is Eternia! As an homage to the original, Grizzlor is protected by “fur” that feels just like the vintage figure, plus a breast plate, classic-style green crossbow, axe, machete, sword, and a removable loin cloth. Underneath the fur exterior is a fully-articulated figure sculpted in fearsome detail by The Four Horsemen.
Originally a peaceful creature from the planet Jungulia, at the young age of 428 Gur’rull was kidnapped by the Horde Empire who erased his memories so he would serve loyally in their armies. Renamed “Grizzlor” he traveled with Hec-Tor Kur to Eternia in search of He-Ro. His ferocious attacks were so frightening that even after being banished to Despondos along with his master, Grizzlor’s legend lived on, becoming a myth told to young Eternian children. Prison Guard for the Horde, Grizzlor is ready to unleash his fierce claws to attack the forces of Eternia!
