So now they will have to deal with Marvel! Maybe it will be brought up when they go after TMS?
Clever, very clever.
And now it's Magneto's Helmet!
I FULLY SUPPORT THE INCLUSION OF ILLUMINA IN MOTUC!

do a youtube search for "Scott "Toy Guru" talks Vyrkon MOTUC SDCC 2012"
vid of TG talking about vyrkon
the ignore list is my new best friend
I haven't read all 30+ pages but it's Vykron right. Well what is his actual name...Vykron or Vykon?? Check this article from the P&H book. Page 10 last paragraph & line 2 specifically.

I'm happy. I'm soooooooo happy. Not because I'm looking forward to getting the figure. I'm thrilled because I DON'T WANT IT AT ALL! Which means that I can avoid giving Mattel and Digital Rivery any business for this item.
Pass for me!
I get to keep my money! YAY!
Just saw the the Guru's Video. I am not to thrilled with the onesided Snap on Armor. Since I display my figures and dont really spend time playing with them. Like BA He-man and Skeletor. I have never changed the battle plates since I got them. So with these you will have to display them from the front only which I normally try not to do. I think I am going to pass on this one. Might get one to keep in the box though..I will Probably decide at the last minute..
Okay, I definitely see it now; that's Boba's noggin, alright.

I'd thought that was a typo referring to Vikor actually.
Very interesting. Why the change? Is the P&H book wrong, is TG wrong, or was it changed on purpose?
After learning a little bit more about the history of this character, I think it's a great way to celebrate the "30th" Anniversary.* I can't say I'm too excited about the figure. As someone who opens his figures, I am glad that I only have to buy one, though. Still, it's a nice tribute to the origins of MOTU.
*30th is in parentheses because I refuse to give in to the idea that 1982 was the year that MOTU was founded. I received He-Man, my brother received half-boot Skeletor, and we received Castle Grayskull together for Christmas 1981.
Incidentally, George R.R. "Game of Thrones" Martin's first novel, "Dying of the Light," has a character named Vikor in it. I just got to the part where they mention a guy named Vikor.

ARGHHH! No Game of Thrones spoilers! I love the show and I am so happy I don't know what's coming next. Please be careful!Incidentally, George R.R. "Game of Thrones" Martin's first novel, "Dying of the Light," has a character named Vikor in it. I just got to the part where they mention a guy named Vikor.
OWWW He-Mandalorian I like that as much as my name Dia-por
Yeah NorthCoast i think Tank-or might work too
Now that I see them in comparison... they're awesome!
Μπιστ Μαν, ανόητε τριχομούρη!
And I would say that it's far too early to be making those kinds of calls. This has been an absolute bombshell of a year for character selection and so far it only gets better with Mosquitor and then we still have a few months that we don't know about. There's absolutely no reason at this point to think Ram Man is off the table for 2013 with the way Matty has been knocking it out of the park with characters.
I know everyone wants Ram Man. Frig, I want Ram Man. But imagine the rage that would ensue if they made him an exclusive and he sold out instantly or people missed out? It would be pandemonium. It's a much better idea to put him in the regular sub so nobody misses him since he's such a crucial character. Otherwise he could end up being Shadow Weaver 2.0 and look how awesome that went over for Matty's reputation.
I have faith that they'll get around to Ram Man. And when they do and he's awesome, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
...and immediately start demanding Two-Bad for SDCC exclusive.
When do we get to see the VW Hot Wheel?

LOL, one of the worst ones yet. He looks completely ridiculous in every outfit.
Yeah I was checking things out again in the P&H book & the name didn't seem right. I mean it could be a typo but that's a huge error to miss in the book. So officially I don't really know which is actually correct. We need to call Mr. Sweet to clarify(yeah right). If the name is really supposed to be Vykon then that's even a larger error on Mattel's part.
It could be deliberate to be a little more different than Vikor.

Pretty cool vid! Thanks for bringing that up!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
Vykron sounds better to me.
I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that it's supposed to be Vykon, but maybe someone should submit the question to one of the Q&A's. And by someone, I mean someone more ambitious than me.
It's possible Vykon just didn't check out trademark wise, so they had to go with something close. Although a TESS search only brought up some software trademarks.
I wondered the same thing but when you type Vikor on the keypad. How do you mix up the "r" which is in the top row and the "n" for Vykon is on the bottom row. Too far apart I would think to get wrong. But things happen & it could be a typo.
I need Mr. Santalucia,Mr. Pelt,Mr. Eatock,Mr. O'Donoghue or Mrs. Gelehrter to chime in on this wether or not it's spelled correctly in the P&H book.

Congratulations Mattel, Not only is this figure an abomination... but you didn't even get his name right.
Happy 30th everyone!
Yes, I agree. In fact, we haven't heard much from the historians since the reveal. I'm curious.
