​He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Skeletor Action Figures Based on Animated Series for Storytelling Play, Articulated Battle Characters, Gift for 4 Years and Older, MOTU

This reimagining of Skeletor really is an excellent figure. It's well constructed and has a truly beautiful sculpt that doesn't fall into the error of being overly detailed and I get the sense that whoever designed these has a love for graffiti, just a hunch, because the lines are SO bold and the proportions remind of a writer whose name is frustratingly escaping me at the moment. Whilst it doesn't have the overdone articulation many adult collectors crave, it has something far better: PLAYABILITY and an action feature that doesn't destroy the aesthetics of the toy. For this is a toy in the truest sense of the word, its a little poppet for children to create adventures with, an avatar to quest through new worlds and ideas with. The action feature comes as a spring-loaded mechanism in his torso, this allows him to deliver classic sixties "Karate chop" type strikes as well as punches, gives him the power to menace people with his staff (which is a work of beauty in itself) and his dojo was obviously the pub car park because that spring produces a mean headbutt too. So look out defenders of Greyskull, Skeletor is here and he's fighting dirty! This figure is for an even newer He-Man and the Masters of The Universe cartoon and judging from the packaging it is made by people who truly love and know He-Man as there are even nods to the live-action film in that packaging art. I watched He-Man as a small child and loved it, hopefully, this new version will bring a new generation of children to love that most courageous and kind of heroes too, hopefully, the new material will keep in mind the good messages He-Man would deliver to us back in the eighties too. I'm sure many people have enjoyed the re-issue line and the line aimed at adult collectors but for me, this is the one to have. It's fresh-looking, the colours on all of the figures I have seen from this line are deep, they are sturdy, they feel like they will last and they just about scale with the reissues and they don't look as deformed as the ones for the "adult collectors line" (seriously that way of making action figures needs to end, those are not good figures) which are hideously miss-shapen.

Great detail and colour. A fab figure from the new He Man.

This is a nice figure of the nasty Skeletor. It comes in a card back with clear see through plastic cover. Looks good quality for the price. Is it a 'collectable', as advertised? Not so sure. With so many 'toy art' figures around, mainly new and original characters, these mass produced figures may have had their day in those terms. That doesn't mean they're not worth buying. I have a couple of 'toy art' figures, individually hand produced and painted. Similar packaging. They are for sure collectable, as very small production runs for a specialist market. But I like Skeletor here. He's posable in lots of different ways. Maybe see him as a great toy in the truest sense. Easy 4****.

I'll say this first thing, Skeletor's new design works very well, especially considering his old 80's cheesy look. Broad and robust, this thing can be posed in a variety of ways and it's got good balance, so won't topple over easily. Obviously since it's an action figure for children it's also quite sturdy. For collectors, the box arrived sealed and in ok condition - Don't expect the cardboard to be unscratched and pristine, you need a specialist retailer for that. All in all, excellent toy, for myself, as I'm trying to recapture my youth.

Great toy for my little he-man mad boy. Got it on offer and excellent value for money!

Really cool toy, a lot better than expected!

My 5 year old son plays with this ALOT, he is a big he-man fan! And got for a brill price too

Great update of the greatest villian ever. Fabulous quality. Looks incredible and great value too. Possibly my favourite Skeletor.

Même si le geste présenté sur la boîte est vraiment basique , le jouet reste tout de même bien fini et bien solide. Et pour un prix raisonnable.

Very cool, well made and a great addition to the collection.

Figura ben fatta e articolata, perfetta per i fan di He-Man e i collezionisti. Accessorio incluso aggiunge valore. Ottimo per giocare o esporre, anche se alcune giunture potrebbero risultare un po’ rigide.

Th e material is tough except one point, the guys spear. considering I have a toddler I would assume it’s normal but usually he breaks his toys after a week. That’s why I gave 4 stars.

Super Qualität Männe ist zufrieden
