Leech was always my favorite of the original Masters of the Universe toys. I didn’t have a lot, but Hordak’s power-sucking minion was in my collection. Even a as kid I was not a big fan of action features; as they almost always resulted in figures that were less poseable or aesthetically pleasing and didn’t work properly half the time anyway. But Leech managed to incorporate two functional action features and still looked great. The big, green guy had suction cup hands that worked fairly well. He also had a suction cup mouth that worked extremely well thanks to a pump built into the figure which also allowed Leech to squirt water out of his mouth.
I never got to experience Leech much as a character, as he was a part of The Evil Horde and thusly appeared on She-Ra: Princess of Power rather than He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and no way in heck was I going to watch a cartoon made for yucky girls. But in my mind Leech was a voracious monster that was only barely controlled by Cobra Commander.
