To me, few things scream MOTU more than a big yellow and green monkey with battle armor. Unmade guys like He-Ro and Vikor have a place in MOTU history, as does Wundar. And I have no problem with including some of the things that appeared only in the minis, like the Goddess. I hope we get more such things, as they give the line something fresh and new to look forward to. But, in this case, we have a character notable for basically being at a picnic with three established characters, who apparently did little memorable int hat appearance. If he was made, I'd basically only be using him as "third villager from the left He-Man needs to save from big yellow and green monkey with battle armor."
If Mattel were to make some generic viallagers and include him, I'd likely go with that; I've always hated that action figure lines give you no innocent bystanders for the villains to imperil and the heroes to save (at least in the old Mego days, you had Action Jackson, Dinah Mite, Happy Days, Waltons and other "normal folks" to fill that roll). But that's about the only way I could really look at him as being worthy of an actual figure.
