What are your thoughts on Gwildor from the 1987 MOTU movie?

[Anti-Guru]

I have to confess. When I was younger watching the movie for the first time, I wasn't impressed with the character. I thought he was goofy. As an adult, watching the film and appreciating it more for what it is... I have to say that I absolutely love Gwildor. I think he's a lovable character. He demonstrated some wit as well as some wisdom at all the right moments. Further more, I am very much looking forward to his appearance in the MOTUC line. I'm very confident that the figure will be awesome.

[MIDOR]

I don't get the appeal.

I don't question whether he fits in Masters or anything along that line.

I'm happy for those who will get him.

I just don't understand why someone would want him.

[MegaGearMax]

I'm not a fan. He's the "guy in the episode who needs help from He-Man".

[Captain Atkin]

Towards the end of the film - when He-Man is chained up in the throne room - Gwildor comes to his rescue

[Dark Angel]

I enjoy the movie for what it is, but have no use for any of the characters as toys. So I don't really "get" Gwildor, or Blade, or Saurod, or any of them. Also, he seems to me to be a painfully obvious Orko stand-in, which according to the makers of the film, he factually is. HOWEVER, all that said, if people want him, more power to them.

I had Gwildor as a kid and for some reason was always impressed by his figure. He was different. It was interesting to me that in a world where nearly everyone had the samebuild, Gwildor was short, slightly portly, and fully clothed. He has lots of interesting looking tools and gadgets on his belt and in his cloak, so that was always a plus.

As I got older, I began to really like the idea of different archetypes in MOTU (and particularly MOTUC). While Man-at-Arms is a warrior and an inventor, I see him as more of someone creating weapons or strange fixes for disabled and maimed characters (Mekaneck's neck, Rotar, etc.) while Gwildor is a bit more eruditely. I imagine him more like an alchemist or a professor. Man-at-Arms builds for a purpose, Gwildor tinkers because he wants to learn. Sometimes the result is weird, useless stuff while other times you end up with something world changing like a cosmic key. I see him as becoming more of a support staff for the heroic warriors. Wise, friendly, and perhaps just a bit unhinged.

[Draego-Man]

Not a fan. The one vintage character I couldn't care less about.

[Widukind]

Gwildor is probably one of the vintage figures I enjoyed the least, along with Extendar. Nevertheless, I like his role in the movie (the cosmic key creator and guardian), although I don't like his goofiness. He's an OK character, though. I'm not a huge fan of Gwildor, but I'll buy him in MOTUC if he's good quality and is not reubenized.

[Anti-Guru]

I like Gwildor better than Orko.

[Andy]

Yes!!! Way better than Orko.

[Barbecue17]

Gwildor. He was going to share.

[Captain Atkin]

Sure he was

[Battle Ram Man]

Never liked him, but I didn't like the movie at all

[OnCard]

I'd hope he'd be packed with something a little cooler. "Gwildor with Saurod accessory"

[Captain Atkin]

A grappling hook (with a string attached) would be cool. Also, Gwildor had some cool hand-held scanning devices that would be great as accessories.

[Robarr The Morbid]

Hated him. Today I refer to him as the Jar-Jar-Binks of the MOTU world. OK, yeah, Orko was goofy too, but I found him more tolerable than Gwildor.

[D.M.]

I like him as an Eternian scientist as presented in the Ehapa comics and newspaper strips.

[viendammage]

Gwildor using a grappling hook to steal fried chicken and ribs alone makes him a likeable and memorable character.

[Captain Atkin]

I always liked Gwildor. MOTU was a kids movie, and I felt he brought a certain charm to the film.

[Jyrki]

After seeing it first time. Not really liked...but when He-Man nostalgia hit back early 2000. I got film in DVD and rewatched. Then I started like it more and I admit it has some good moments. It's still fine film for that era film making.

[Mechanizor]

I didn't like the Gwildor character much back in the day, but I didn't hate it either. I was just fascinated and intrigued by some of the unknown characters presented in the movie, and I was so disappointed by the lack of the known characters from the vintage toy line.

At first I thought Gwildor was a new interpretation of Orko believe it or not!

[Andy]

I hated orko and knew Billy Bartley from Willow so i didn't mind Gwildor, plus he was hilarious in a cheesy kind of way.
