Fearless Photog is a character created for Mattel's Masters of the Universe toyline. A heroic warrior with a robotic camera-shaped head, he has the ability to 'focus in' on his enemies and drain their strength. His chest plate displays silhouettes of his defeated enemies.[2]
Development[edit]
In 1986, Mattel sponsored a contest for children to send in designs for new characters.[3] 44,000 people submitted their designs.[2] Five finalists were chosen, and more than 150,000 people then voted for their favorite.[3] In the last page of the Spring 1986 issue of The Masters of the Universe Magazine, they announced 12-year-old Nathan Bitner as the winner of the contest with his submission of Fearless Photog.[4] Nathan was awarded a scholarship for 100,000 dollars, plus a five-day trip to Disneyland.[5][3]
Despite the contest's premise, however, Fearless Photog did not go into production after the contest.[6] While claiming they no longer have the rights to produce an action figure of this character, Mattel gave it a small nod in 2011 on the bio of its Masters of the Universe Classics figure Captain Glenn. At San Diego Comic-Con International 2011, Mattel later revealed that Fearless Photog would finally receive a figure as the first entry in their six-figure Masters of the Universe Classics 30th Anniversary series.[7][6]
