Mo-Larr: Eternian Dentist, SDCC Exclusive

**Spectror** · February 16, 2010, 11:17am

I don't think that there would have been such a huge reaction from the fans and comments from Val if the Illumina affair was just a "red herring"...

I don't think they'd do that because, if for no other reason, no one would ever believe them again when they say they can't do Filmation.

If I feel "negative" toward Mo-Larr, I have my reasons, which are at least as good as any reasons of the "Mo-Larr lovers". And I still feel that any MOTU fan in his right mind and who cares about the line shouldn't support an idea that clearly goes against the Masters of the Universe canon.

Its your right to not like or not buy any of the characters.

Its NOT your right to determine who is or isn't a fan, or what kind of fan they are.

Well, I for one would like to get this set (preferably 2 to keep 1 MOC and open the other). I just hope that some will be sold on MattyCollector since I won't be going to SDCC.

**KUZEH** · February 19, 2010, 01:52pm

Robot Chicken paid for producing Mol-larr...
I'm sure if MVC pay for Ilumina, Mattel wouldn't have a problem issuing her...

With that said, I "might" get this one...

**SLO-MAN** · February 19, 2010, 06:37pm

I'm a bit disappointed that Mo-Larr will be a 2-pack with a Skeletor with a new head.

Still, I'll most likely pick it up since I'm not opposed to joke characters, and MOTU is a natural for parodies.
I used to make joke stories with MOTU figures a few years ago myself.
In one story I had He-Man defeating Spikor by kicking him you-know-where.
In another I had Skeletor trick He-Man into opening the door to Castle Grayskull by pretending to be pizza delivery.

Making jokes out of my favorite characters is nothing new to me,
so having a joke character on my good guys team doesn't bother me one bit.

I agree with you completely, but sadly this kind of dictatorial behavior is the norm in most fandoms. Either you follow the given dogma to the letter without question or you're a heretic unfit to be part of the group. Full stop. It doesn't matter if the majority is disastrously wrong and you're right, it doesn't matter if they're hysterically overreacting to nothing whatsoever, it doesn't even matter if they don't have a clue what they're talking about, the mere fact that it's the majority means they win regardless and you're not welcome. It's all about who yells louder and is more bullying than actually liking a property, and it's all about enforcing groupthink and stamping out anything contrary.

As you can kinda guess, I have a very, very low opinion of fandom.

**Ray H** · February 20, 2010, 04:00pm

I just thought about something how much do you want to bet this set has super fancy electronic talking packaging?

I'm betting thats a big reason why they included a full skeletor and not just his head. There going to make this a big presentation piece. And it will probably have have sounds recreating the bit in the package.

Every year mattel makes one of the SDCC figures with super deluxe sounds and and packaging.

I wouldn't care that much, but this usually makes those figures more expensive than the others, like Grayskull was. So we have mo-lar which i want, thrown in with skeletor to jack up the price which i don't want. And then again jacked up more if it has electronic packaging. This has a big gouging potential, But I'm really curious to see how much this costs.

where did you get this info?

**Eterniandreams** · February 21, 2010, 05:41am

Will the Mo-lar 2-pack be available on Matty like He-ro and Faker?
Or do I need to hit Ebay?

It wll be on matty. They haven't said if there will be any changes from the SDCC version yet.

**RockinHard** · April 30, 2012, 12:05am

Some people state that the Mo-larr set is a "joke" set or that Mo-larr is a joke character and do not consider it part of MOTU or MOTUC, while others maintain that it fits right in and is equally part of the line. What say you? What is your take on Mo-larr and Toothless Skeletor?

**bamf1980** · April 30, 2012, 12:44am

I think it depends on where we go from the bio, but I have a hunch he'll never be heard from again.

**cbomb23** · April 30, 2012, 01:51am

He is a joke character and not a part of MOTU, but he has a figure and is a part of the MOTUC line.

**He-Dad** · April 30, 2012, 01:55am

He's a Robot Chicken creation.....I doubt too many people really include him in their cannon beyond him having a figure.

**Prahvus** · April 30, 2012, 02:12am

Mo-Larr is not MOTU at all. He's part of Robot Chicken, and that's what he'll always be to me.

**Mern-Ra** · April 30, 2012, 03:03am

To me he's a joke, but he rules! I love that they made him and think he's hilarious, and I have him loose (displayed on my variants shelf) and MIB, one of the few MIB items I kept when I decided to stop also collecting MOC.

**Count Judas** · April 30, 2012, 03:49am

To me he doesn't exist at all in any form in my collection. I always saw him as a joke and not part of MOTU at all. Its cool if people like him in their collection though but he just never appealed to me as a real character. I got the set (for cheap) only to use him and Skeletor for parts and to add weapons for my TRU Skeletor.

**Snake Hunter** · April 30, 2012, 07:58am

In several FICTION UNIVERSES comical characters are in the same world that "serious" ones:

MARVEL - Howard the Duck, Deadpool, Great Lake Avengers
DC - Gnort(the Dog Green Lantern), Manga Khan & L-Ron, Captain Carrot
STAR WARS - Jar Jar Binks, Jaxxon (the green bunny)

In the same way Mo-Larr can exist in the same universe where Orko, Snout Spout and Plundor exist.

For me Mo-Larr was an eternian doctor who got mad. Now he is an insane evil warrior obsessed with teeth and armed with scary dental tools.

**krosfyah** · April 30, 2012, 08:20am

to me he's a real character a la Chef Allan.
just kind of fun to have someone with a REAL and useful profession in Eternia.

**Uki** · April 30, 2012, 08:24am

Right on! Mo-Larr was once a respectable dentist in Eternos, but was driven mad (as dentists often are)

and began randomly attacking Eternians (both good and evil), performing unnecessary dental work. Eventually, the Evil Warriors recruited him, but he's a barely caged animal among them-feared by even the scariest of scaries.

**cobrakahn** · April 30, 2012, 08:28am

Mo-Lar! He is very reminiscent of old Filmation characters, kinda cheesy kind of dumb. I would consider him Robot Chicken cannon much more than He-Man.
Great question. I think as He-Man continues to grow there will be more figures like this popping up. I think Star Sisters are another question.

**Benedict Judas Hel** · April 30, 2012, 08:31am

If Crackers, the Widgets and Orko can be in MOTU and MOTUC, then so can Molarr and Toothless Skeletor. However, I think the most people will be able to include Molarr in (if at all) will be into MOTUC.

**Charlie Brown** · April 30, 2012, 08:48am

well, i really liked captain atkin's custom as medical officer of the eternos army, so i borrowed that idea:
it works just fine to me.
