Classic Snout Spout was another figure that was doomed to fail right out if the gate. Too many fans had seen the 200X staction which was bad assery personified. Classic Snout Spout was received with a resounding thud outside of the ever uncritical reviewers who received free samples. At least we got the 200X head. I always liked Snout Spout and I always liked the vintage figure, but I never would have taken it over the 200X design I would have liked a mini-comic head with thinner trunk and goggle like eyes.

I just vehemently disagree walking into a situation where you already know a significant portion of your customers are going to hate the product and give you bad feedback. Vintage Snout Spout was always one of the least popular figures (I always loved him but I recognize most didn't). Again, classic could never escape 200X. Not embracing some of the cooler designs right out if the gate was a mistake. I think Mattel's new Origins line is going to fail to catch on due to not updating the characters a bit more.

Whoever designed Snout Spout had to have been thinking of Ganesha based on the early version having a third eye and the backstory. Ganesha's origin was that he was the son of Shiva and Parvati, and like most Hindu divinities, looked human. Once Parvati asked him to stand guard while she was bathing and not allow anyone admittance. Shiva tried to come see her, and Ganesha refused, so he decapitated him, unable to put his original head back on, he put on the head of a passing elephant (I'm not Hindu; I don't understand this) and brought his son back to life with it. I suspect Joe Morrison or John Weems came up with this during their tenure at Mattel. They put Ganesha in the Monster in My Pocket line and has a lot of offended Hindus in Britain come after them. So many people whether Hindu or not love Ganesha, so it's hard to say with absolute certainty that it was one of these two.. I remember seeing "Hose Nose" on She-Ra. I think he cleaned Horde slime off She-Ra. He cleaned something off She-Ra. I immediately wanted the figure. Later, Snout Spout appeared in an episode of She-Ra, with Adora saying he was He-Man's new friend. That makes it sound like two different characters (or at minimum a changed backstory) that they were hoping kids didn't notice. Kobra Khan's misting is what made me want the figure, which I'm pretty sure I bought after Snout Spout. I don't think he came in Snake Men packaging despite the timing. I was never a fan of snake characters but always liked elephants. I did have Tung Lashor and Rattlor and may have had King Hiss. I do remember playing with King Hiss. I never got Squeeeeeze, and Snake Face creeped me out too much. I was the kid other kids tormented with rubber snakes. This kid Scotty Armstrong promised to leave me alone if I touched the tail, so I did, and he kept his word. Later on he went to the prom with this girl I liked. She ended up getting married to a Woodstock-era hippie.

Was this character not also the product of a create-a-character contest?

Honestly, Snout Spout was the last nail in the coffin for me, as Snout Spout had to be the worst character of all time in MOTU, after Orko obviously. The line had started to offer more and more characters that were terrible, and I just gave up hope the line would go in the direction i though it should, ie develop more around the core characters, and instead it was intent on offering anything and everything just to sell more toys. That is, it seemed the standards for characters had fallen so low, that I just wrote off the series entirely until just a few years ago. So, Snout Spout will always hold this place for me, in that he was the "last straw." I felt used by corporates who werent looking out for fans.
