046 Willy

Willy is the TDD cyclops.

One-Eyed Willy.  Get it?

No?  Ask your parents.

Tales of cyclopes go back to ancient Greece and Rome.  Paleontologist believe that folks in those days found the skulls of prehistoric dwarf elephants.  The large nasal cavity (where the trunk used to be) was interpreted as a single eye socket.   Since they had no knowledge of modern elephants, they imagined this idea of giant cyclopes.

Yes, the plural of cyclops is cyclopes.

Willy has versions in G1 and G3.

I have found the G1 version with brown hair, blonde hair, green hair, and red hair.

The strangest thing about the G1 figure is that his feet are basically upside-down.  It is so weird.  His toenails are on the bottom of his feet.  Ralph and Booger have the same affliction. 

Willy's G3 version wears shoes.  I have found the G3 version with brown clothes, gray clothes, and purple clothes.

By the way, if you are looking for Wet Willy (the World Industries character), go here
