Pigboy is a character in the 1987 movie Masters of the Universe by Cannon Films. The movie was based upon Mattel's best-selling toy line of the same name, although Karg was a brand new character created by the film's writers, who never had an accompanying action figure.
Played by Richard Szponder, Pigboy was a minion of the film's main villain Skeletor (Frank Langella). He carried his master's Havoc staff for him, and handed it over to the evil Lord of Destruction at one point.
Trivia[]
- Richard Szponder was eight years old at the time and won a contest by Mattel to appear in the 1987 film. Mattel arranged a flight for him and his family to Los Angeles for nine days, which not only included the time spent on the movie set, but also trips to Disneyland, Universal Studos and the Queen Mary. In addition, Mattel gave Szponder a collection of Motu toys (having first inquired which ones he already had) and arranged a special screening of the film for him and his friends.
