yeah, i'm looking forward to this figure based on history, but they HAVE to give us more than a shirtless bootless he-man. I mean to do him properly he should have no belt or gauntlets either. maybe some 'jungle' style armour and weapons would set him apart (and an alcala head)Quote:

I hate the name. I hate the character. I hate this need to try and shove what was obviously a different backstory into the narrative.
I'm more naked He-man! I'm my own character! I'm Oo-lar!
Ugh no thanks.
An Oo-Larr by any other name would still be a jungle He-Man.
I need pics of him that would validate him (as a figure) NOT from the Mini Comics until then it's a "rumor"
Well it is a rumor.
He is Mo-Larr's long distant missing link relative, and his real name will be Oog Oogoo Ooo Ooh Ahh Larrenstein
Too late, no take backs :)Quote:

Oo-Larr is no better or no worse than a LOT of characters. I mean... Man-E-Face? Meckaneck? And the best for last... Fisto???? Corny much? :skgrin:

I agree with Executioner! Everytime I read the name "Oo-Larr", I cringe. I think it's because it's too close to "Mo-Larr" and we all originally thought it was a spelling error. :lol:
Plus "Oo-Larr" is He-Man for god sakes... grrrr!

Remember, however, that nostalgia blinds the most vocal critics of the current line's direction: Oolar=worst writing ever. Fisto=pure genius!Quote:

This is the only part of your post that I read. :hmlol:Quote:

It might be fine and more in line with the real names in the bios, but he needs a better superhero or working name like Fisto has while his real name is Malcolm.
This isn't a case where you bringing it up is a "conspiracy theory"- people are forgetting that this "Oo-Larr" name came right around the same time "Mattel" registered the name Mo-Larr so it seems like much more than a coincidence.Quote:

Why do you absolutely HAVE to know where and how the name came from? Whether it was a copyright error, or a cat thrown at the typewriter... What difference does it make?
Odds are good, that this character will not be CALLED Oo-lar, any more than any of the other 'real names'... So where that came from doesn't matter any more then where any of the OTHER names came from.
Toyguru really has no obligation or responsibilty to 'fess up' OR 'tell us where it came from'
If you 'Cant take it anymore'... or are really as invested as this message sounds... then I would recommend switching to decaf ;)
Though... it IS nice to see a complaint that isn't A) Spector and B) quality control related :hmlol:
By the time the figure is released, they can come up with a proper title for him on the packaging while making his real name Oo-Lar in the bio section for real name.
I wish I knew the secret to creating characters people demand to be made into figures....Quote:

"Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope!"
"I will buy 1 to open, and play with the rope. 1 to keep MOC so the rope stays fresh, and 1 for my nephew who loves Yellow... and rope. Then he can play MOTUC and have a tug of war with Oo-Larr."
Oh right... I forgot the normal protocol of this website. No fun allowed. :hmroll:Quote:

How do you know it was Scott who messed up and not the person filing the Trademark?? How do you know that Scott even does that as part of his job? Do you work at Mattel or are you just looking for yet another reason to stir the pot?Quote:
