Yes, he was. One of the eight judges, I think.

Both the figure and the way it was shoehorned in the mythos were an absolute disgrace.

**JimPansen** · July 13, 2012, 12:59pm

Cool figure! Better pics please! He comes with the shield from the Grayskull door? Cool!!!

**Whiplash7** · July 13, 2012, 01:01pm

I think it's a cool figure. Well done. I don't like the name, but it might be a cool concept if he is the personification of the Spirit of the Castle, or something...
Congrats Dan!

**Brad2dbone** · July 13, 2012, 01:01pm

I like it a lot. Congratulations Dan.

**vid.tracey** · July 13, 2012, 01:02pm

Was there a leaked bio too or can it not be mentioned until the fan panel ?

I love the swords. They are the design from the Grayskull flag.

And as RockinHard and a few others have suggested, the negativity is shameful. The winner is a kid. Let's let him have his day.

According to his He-Man.Org bio, he's 32. Unless it's his son that won.

**MasterBlaster** · July 13, 2012, 01:04pm

I like the figure.
Much better as "the naughty speckie boy" or "Sir Laserlot". Ok. It is not difficult... HeHe

Only the name...

If it is a single person i would named him Gragol (Grayskull Golem) That would be more MotU.
If it is a army builder i would named him "Skullman, soldier of Grayskull".

Yes, he is 32 and not a kid (as I mentioned a few pages back). I have been talking to him all morning since he found out.

**Squishy Duck Man** · July 13, 2012, 01:05pm

HUGE congrats to Daniel, I absolutely love your design. This figure is dozens of times cooler than the other 30th characters except Draego-Man. I can't wait to put him next to my Castle Grayskull and I also eagerly await bio information on him when it's released.

**Canada-Man** · July 13, 2012, 01:05pm

Awesome figure...meh for the name but the figure...just amazing. I really love it.

Hope the bio says he haunts castle grayskull or something along those lines...Good job...I think its my favorite figure from the bonus 30th line so far. Draego man is still up there tho

**Frogster** · July 13, 2012, 01:08pm

Now this is a 30th Anniversary figure! I was not expecting this at all, but this is a clever concept, and I like it as it really pays homage to so many things in the Alcala minicomics. It has a great legacy aspect for a new character. I still want them to make the Horde Shark I designed though; "Makor" ha ha!

**Snake Hunter** · July 13, 2012, 01:08pm

I dont like the blond wig, I hope that can be fixed...

I´ll wait until the bio is revealed, but this character must be a giant character (he is the personification of a Castle!)

Yeah, I posted before I saw you had posted the same thing. That's the Internet for you.

I hope not too many people hate this character. But as of right now, i'm the happiest ive ever been, so it'll take alot to get me down...

Dan, you're going to have yays and nays no matter what. I'm on-the-fence about the name, but the character is cool. The *name* had me thinking it was a joke, to be brutally honest. Can you put a spoiler up and tell us what YOUR bio idea was, or is that off-limits yet?

That would be me. I am Daniel Benedict. Man, I hope everyone likes this character. I can't possibly describe how happy i am right now. Oh my... I'm in shock.

Well done Masque, I really like the figure - I think the blonde hair looks freaky and strange but works!

**yoyuso** · July 13, 2012, 01:15pm

Congratz MAsQue!! I like the figure a lot, and yes, im gonna buy 2 of them. Dunno about the bio, but I like to think it is one of the ancient Eternian Titans that sacrifice himself to protect the power and secrets of He.

I collaborated with someone on here.

No! If you read what the matty site says your entry belongs to mattel it's now their theirs and they do not want anyone who entered speaking about their entry or posting pictures of what it was.

**The All American** · July 13, 2012, 01:16pm

Congratulations Masque! I like the figure, it almost reminds me of one of the ghosts from Return of the King.

**Bearshow** · July 13, 2012, 01:17pm

Congratulations, Daniel!

**hlinhk128** · July 13, 2012, 01:19pm

Cool! I've been wanting that sword forever. The one I felt that was my 2nd best design looked more like a knight. It had that sword and the shield looked like the symbol on the back of He-Ros cape. They were statues that came to life magically by the Sorceress to defend the castle like those ones in Harry Potter. Very cool to get CG parts on Fig.

Congrats to the winner

**Sompeetalay** · July 13, 2012, 01:23pm

I don't collect MotU anymore, but I do like the figure! He could have been a haunted soldier residing in the Castle, defending its secrets. I'd like him to be a 'good' guy, but absolutely loyal to Grayskull only.

**Barbecue17** · July 13, 2012, 01:25pm

Wow!! I saw this a couple of hours ago on PoeGhostal's site, but seeing it again I am still impressed. What a super cool idea!! I really like this figure and its design: its unique, barbaric, well thought out, tied to the line in a special way, and is a flat out cool concept. Congratulations, man!

**Mr. Shokoti** · July 13, 2012, 01:25pm

Congrats!!!

That's a very cool figure! Up until now, my favorite 30th toy was SLL, but I think this might have replaced him. As for the possible concept/bio, if we had to have a King Grayskull as part of the canon(I for one wish we didn't), this would have been the way to go IMO rather than a He-Man clone. I can't wait to see this in person.

**Gojira101** · July 13, 2012, 01:27pm

Looks like someone's kitbash or something. Like someone else mentioned previously it would have been nice if we were treated to something a little more original or they could have had a fan vote instead. That's my honest opinion though. Maybe in a movie year.

Can't wait to see the runner ups though then we'll know what we missed out on.

**Barezz** · July 13, 2012, 01:27pm

That's pretty neat! I see this character as being part of the castle's defenses maybe. When I saw the figure I envisioned a bunch of them literally coming out of the walls at the Sorceress' command to fight off invaders. The only bit I don't care for is the hair...but maybe the bio will explain that.
