I don't get Geldor...

He won the Fan Poll Vote last year... even when the winner was chosen and the polls were still open AFTER the fact that he was chosen... Not saying that Mattel chose Geldor regardless of who really won, but this fact makes them look bad.

I understand he has a huge following in Europe. If I recall correctly, he was the Champion of the German Forums. so, he DOES have a following. My question is WHY!?

His single appearance is on the Mini-Comic The Secret Liquid of Life...
Where unlike the cool cover where we see him standing toe to toe against He-Man, we see him standing around... Threatening an old man to kill his daughter unless he gives Geldor his "water"...
The Secret Liquid of Life (or PCP). I think it's PCP since the old man is tripping balls and his daughter was an illusion. So He-Man, being the Anti-Drug hero he is he gets the "water" and drops it as Geldor was about to take it.
Fluttershy kills him... and she felt bad about it!
Not only that, but the Heroes celebrate a wedding under the shade of the Geldor Killing tree!!

So, WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE GELDOR!? In his single appearance he did nothing except dying. I mean, Dakon, and the evil Wizard sidekick of Geldor did MORE than Geldor himself!! 
What's the appeal on him!? Unlike Madame Razz (who some people question her popularity when the answer is in the freaking She-Ra intro) who actually DOES Stuff besides being a comedic relief on her appearances on the She-Ra cartoon; Geldor DOES NOTHING!!!

Aside the Easy to make factor (which Mattel totally loves) He's pretty much a new head, armor, and maybe boots! (Unless they give him Bow's boots)

I think he vaguely looks like a Mr.T wannabe, but aside that, I just don't get why he is popular. OK I could understand nostalgic attachment to that mini comic, but he still does NOTHING!! Lodar did more stuff in his mini-comic than Geldor...
