Mosquitor has always been one of the more interesting Masters of the Universe characters, at least to me. It’s also definitely been anticipated by a certain well known MOTUC figure reviewer. As someone who has absolutely loved monsters, even as a kid, I always thought the Horde was really cool. So many of them had obvious homages to the classic Universal Monsters, so that appealed to me. I always thought of Hordak as sort of the Count Dracula of the Horde, but I think it’s safe to say that Mosquitor is definitely closer related to vampires, considering he actually drinks blood. And not only does he drink it, he forces his victims to watch as their own blood fills him up via that clear chest plate of his. It’s something that’s kind of gruesome for a kid’s toy line, and certainly something you wouldn’t see in any kids toy lines today.
With the addition of Mosquitor in the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line, it helps bolster the ranks of The Evil Horde, so I was excited to get him from Mattycollector. Join me as I take a closer look at Mosquitor and see if he lives up to the expectations.
MOSQUITOR
Evil Energy-Draining Insectoid™REAL NAME: Bliddeon Black
A Kribleen insectoid vampire from the Gluubux Galaxy, Mosquitor™ joined The Evil Horde™ on his own accord, preferring the Empire to life in a mud hole on his home world. Looking like a normal insectoid, Mosquitor™ moves in on his prey, then stings them hard and sucks them dry. He is extremely vicious though not particularly brainy. You can’t get blood from a rock, but Mosquitor™ has tried in his day. Mosquitor™ drains his enemies of their energy while his bionic stinger and chest oozes red with power. Even Hordak® keeps his distance from The Evil Horde™ vampire!
