When we were leaving my son's doctor's appointment last Thursday we came across a mom and her little boy, maybe he was 3 or so? I noticed he was carrying a He-Man figure in his hand and I was like "Waitaminute, that's ORIGINS He-Man!!" so as they came closer I went "Hey! You got He-Man!" and the kid turned to me with this big grin on his face as if I just spoke a secret code word. "Hey buddy, he knows He-Man!" his Mom said "My little guy loves He-Man! He has all of his father's toys too!". When I asked were they got him, she said Wal-Mart which shocked me as it's not even remotely Fall yet. Classics ran for 12 years. That's over a decade of Classics figures, which is a really nice run. I think there is a place for this line in the world now especially since it's A) In scale with the vintage line, B) Has a more MotU toy line style to it and C) Is at retail where kids can find them. My little guy just turned 5 in March so Origins is going to be how he remembers MotU when he's older. That makes me more excited for this line then anything else about it.
I’m 40, never collected he-man at all, or remembered it much from childhood. This origins line, for whatever reason appeals to me, and now I’m a motu collector. I guess whether you’re 5 or 40 this is where the first real memories of he-man begin....or shall I say “originate” :)
I have to say, I randomly bought this figure and I just adore it. I'm not even a MOTU fan. It's just a solid little figure that is a lot of fun in both the looks and posing dept.
Something similar happened to me. I bought the he-man and Skeletor figures only for nostalgia sake’s without thinking that I was gonna buy anymore figures. since I’m not a collector, nor I was looking forward to collecting this line. But I saw Cacp encountering them in the toy isles while I was looking for other toys it’s like they started to become more appealing to me. I saw beastman and tri-Klops at Walmart and I passed on them because I wasn’t collecting them. Then at another Wal-Mart I saw Teela and I gave to temptation and bought it. After that I started buying them figure after figure and now I became a collector. 😂and I’m a bit obsessed I can say.
When they reboot He-Man in the 2000 era. I really liked what they did with series. I admit I cherry picked a couple figures and got castle Grayskull...but I was always anticipating maybe a new snake mountain. Maybe with these and Kevin Smith's He-Man series coming out, maybe the Motu will resurface in a big way.
I'm hoping for classic heads on variant figures like Battle Armor Skeletor, or in some sort of accessory pack. I legit like this head better than the regular MOTUC head. Although I'd love to see that peg shaved down a little and the Alcala head on there, maybe with vintage harness and skirt?
I wonder if we'll get a Shadow Beast in the line as they feature in the mini comic? It would be nice getting something we haven't had before in the vintage style rather than purely vintage toy updates.
Mattel and Wal mart have really started this off horribly, really sucks they dont tell anybody anything, I guess they love these hording scalpers, I really dont even like these review videos, it's almost like "look what I got " Mattel SUCKS as far as keeping people up to date except for the special few I guess, if this first wave is not available for everybody then I'm saying the hell with the whole line, Sideshow makes plenty of cool statues I can spend my money on instead
thespaceram2, I grew up on he man, g I joe and transformers action figures, but I certainly love statues, HOWEVER this was a line I was gonna get behind big time, but Mattel and Wal mart have rolled this out HORRIBLY, why in God's name did they release a few figures and allow ebay scalpers to buy 30 at a time? Its truly unfair to allow this to go on, Mattel should care about the fans of this line not having to pay outrageous prices on ebay because of this type garbage release, if this first wave isnt released soon so everyone has a chance I'm out on it all and anybody on here that pays those Ebay scalpers is a idiot, and YOU are the reason they continue to buy them all
When you do a bad face sculpt for the two primary characters thats not a good start for the line, paint work is sloppy too. However i like the idea of interchangeable parts and they have a vintage look to them, so depends on price point if they are good value or not. Might be a toy you would get your kids to get them into the line.
It's cool they are trying to revamp the series and market it to the next s generation of kids. I think they are kind of cool trying to represent the vintage toys. But those heads!, ahh. Good luck to the line, hope it grows and sells Well as long introduces vintage head sculpt some how in separate packs. AS A COLLECTOR, THANK GOD FOR THE CLASSICS LINE!!. I could not ask for a better modern update to MOTU!.
I agree completely. I also hope this line grows the brand well and paves the way for the return of MOTU Classics . . . someday. In a couple of years or so. When we've had a chance to save up some money. Then, I'd be all in! 😉
I agree. Its almost like the vintage Battle Cat is more like Cringer and the Classics Battle Cat is this hulking beast like he's meant to be. I also think these figures scale better with the Classics Castle Grayskull and the upcoming Snake Mountain. BTW, I'm a big fan of your website. I've bought a few items there and it was a great experience.
I got lucky today. I found the whole wave this morning and got one of each. I still haven't found Battlecat and the Skysled with Prince Adam. These go well with the Masters of the WWE.
I am loving these from what I am seeing. The thing that seems to be being forgotten in all reviews I'm seeing is that from an 'introducing this to kids perspective' it will eventually be supported by the Netflix series.
I got him earlier today and broke him in 5 minutes, turns out the elbow joint in the left arm was defective, it got stuck and the peg snapped, so that sucks, but hey that’s what super glue is for I suppose
Jabba the Hutt or Cobra Commander One chains attractive women to his throne, eats live frogs, watches people die for amusement. The other is a giant slug.
Much like the He-Man...the head sculpts are the only thing I’m finding odd on these. Either way, I have made room on my MOC MOTU wall for when these are released.
It’s funny how we all have different opinions. What made me decide to collect this line was the fact of the new He-man face sculpt has a more filmation feeling without losing the vintage vibe making it appealing to me since I never quite like the vintage face sculpt at all.
I am VERY late to the He-Man party. :) Just picked up He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor and Panthor this weekend. And they are fantastic. I would like a better head for He-Man but I am VERY pleased overall.
Just got this toy. Didn't know about the part detach thing and immediately returned it to Walmart. I would believe you about this being a thing they did on purpose, but the arms were too easy to remove, especially since I was hoping to share this with my child . This seems more like a company gaslighting their customers to avoid complaining. Between this and the cuffed knees, it will pass on this series.
Oh man! The same thing happened to me. I’m not a big fun of re inventing the shoes so I disliked the other versions of He-man a great deal. But when I saw these I experienced the same euphoria I would experience when I saw these at toy stores when I was a kid. So I’m loving it!!
My 2 big complaints for Skeletor and He-Man are the head sculptures, the original sculps were awesome. Secondly, they shoukd have had the original mini comics. Those were so cool. Cooler than the Filmation cartoon.
My skeletor was picked up from Walmart online. Just moving the arm, it snapped right off. There is a little thin peg holding the arms together. I spoke to Mattel on Facebook and I'm getting a replacement. I also felt the figure felt cheap and the baby doll face made me not want to buy any others from the line.
Great review Dan! The nostalgia feels are strong with these, lol. I think I'm definitely down for the OGs. This Skeletor head gives me a Robot Chicken vibe, lol. The packaging looks so good I might get some to keep in package.
The UK release of this figure is missing a ton of writing on the packaging, including the bio, comic and cross sell ... vastly inferior to the USA release of the packaging.
Love these Dan's reviews, very enjoyable and informative! Greetings from Finland, keep it up! I've pre-ordered this Skeletor figure among He-Man and Man-at-arms. I already have Super7's He-Man, Skeletor, Man-at-arms and Trapjaw vintage versions. Very cool and reminds me from my childhood ^^
Hey dan I just found your channel yesterday and i also have just started my own he man collection with super 7 this week past. I,m loving your reviews I,ve collected anime figures before so im really excited about starting a new collection of one of my favorite 80s properites
All I can find at my local Walmart is he meant I can't find any other action figure could anybody please send me a Skeletor in the box if I give a PO Box please let me know from one collector to another thank you
I cannot overstate just how excited that I am for these. I didn't discover the Classics or Super 7's retro line until it was too late and really, that isn't my He-Man and I'm not interested in buying expensive toys made for collectors. I was 4 when the cartoon debuted and what I love most about Origins is that these will eventually be accessible on retail store pegs so that kids young and old will again be able to experience MOTU. More news on the cartoon sequel cannot come soon enough.
IMO the only good Skeletor head sculpt is the Alcala one that came with Demo-Man. Every other one he either looks like a clown, like he's wearing a baby bonnet, or both.
Another great review Pixel Dan. I'm surprised that neither you or Toy Bro covered the fact that these figures have peg holes in the feet. I think that is great for putting them on figure stands if necessary. I hate the loop figure stands for the vintage figures because the feet rarely fit in place and don't hold well. Also as others have noted, the face sculpts aren't the greatest on these. However, the fact that the heads are interchangeable gives me hope Mattel will give us an extra accessories pack with vintage heads that can be put on instead.
An interesting thing is that the Snake mountain wrestling ring from the MOTWWEU line has like a ramp (based on the Snake Mountain bridge) with peg holes on it.
The sword that came with my vintage Skeletor had a male attachment on the sword like He-man's did so I never knew the two were supposed to click together. I just thought it was some weird design. Did anyone else have this?
That often came with the Dragon Blaster Skeletor sword. The Original and Battle Armour Skeletors usually had the "slot" sword. My DB Skeletor had the tab version, too.
Use a hairdryer on your MOTUC heads. They fit fine on the MOTWWEU figures. I'm also not a fan of this Skeletor head, reminds me of the car commercial that was done a few years ago
I'd love to see Mattel re-issue the Classics Shadow Beast as part of the Origins line. It'd scale well with the smaller figures and make them look really large and imposing.
man, I was excited about this line when it was announced, but if I am honest, I am disappointed with what I've seen so far. the heads on both he-man and skeletor leave much to be desired. there's a few other little issues I have too but they could make them simple yet have nicer head sculpts and paint jobs.
Okay, I just looked online to see if I can pre-order these. All Walmart.com only says is that it's out of stock. So, are they already available for retail? Walmart is really fudging up this whole thing to me.
As I've said before, if they marketed this as "Robot Chicken Skeletor", it would've gone from an 'Eh!' figure to an awesome figure. It's all in the marketing...IMHO, of course! Happy for people that think he's an awesome figure and I personally hope they offer a new head sculpt with future variants.
@@eddiemus78 I loved the articulation on this figure, however I'd been collecting the Masters of the Universe Classics line since 2009, so I was used to the amazing sculpts by the Four Horsemen, loved the 6 inch scale and hated that a line that seemed to be a step back had taken its place. Since then, the Masterverse line has come out and the New Eternia subline in particular has calmed me down and somewhat alleviated my hatred of Origins. It is what it is, Classics is done and Origins have their fan base. I've moved on and am happy to collect the Masterverse line while others enjoy Origins.
True, but the LJN toy for MumRa was rubbish (I had it as a kid), when you took of his head piece he looked stupid (Like a bald man) and the scale of the figures were bad too.
Hopefully they release a weapon pack with the whole sword for both and the vintage head for heman ! maybe some extra hands, a holster for skeletor's sword , etc !
In my opinion the motu classics vehicles, beasts, fit very good from its size to the origins scale. I miss a little the real Action features. But it is just the beginning...
They made a huge huge mistake not writing a new comic for every figure . If skeletor had a new comic it would be a no brainer to get this figure . Just to read the comic but now I don’t know if I really need this figure . I’m happy wit the super 7 one
This Skeletor figure along with the He-Man classic figure are so cool and fun that even a no fan could have a big interest to buy them. Great work from Mattel.
Ya know...after seeing your reviews for these I feel like they're not worth the mad dash and supreme disappointment of Wal-Mart shopping. Both online and in stores. If I see them, I'll grab them, but I'm not wasting time or effort for these. They're not offering enough to make an effort. They should have come with full power swords. The two halves gimmick was always dumb. There, I said it. In fact I love the movie swords. Similar, but different.
I should have asked the Mom I ran into which Wal-Mart she got him at, she had just said "we got him at Wal-Mart", but she didn't say if she got him online or not. Gah! Oppurtunity missed!🤦♂️
Kids have higher expectations in regards to toys quality. This skeletor is a joke. If you buy it just because is a MOTU figure, you need to seek professional help.
Love the idea, I like the figures for the most part, but not a fan of the heman and skeletor head sculpts. That's what has me on the fence whether to get them or not.
Very true.... If you exclude F'l'mation (all right, except for the Oppenheimer voice), Skeletor may be able to grasp a candle and carry it towards Megatron's general direction, perhaps....
First he-man and now skeletor. With those faces and heads, It almost gives the impression the guys at Mattel are making fun of the brand (and the fans). It's almost as bad as the latest thundercats reboot cartoon
The faces are really what is bothering me the most with this new line. Not a fan of that open mouth on Skeletor. I understand they were trying to differentiate these from the vintage figures, but to me, most of these new faces just look inferior to the vintage ones. I do enjoy the vibrant colors on him, though.
the left elbow bend on mine is locked, looks like excess glue in there. any fixes? i have one still in package. I bought two so i could customize one a little.
To be hounest: Skeletors open mouth bothers me. He looks not good with it. But at least that is the only thing in that complete first Wave that I don´t like.
When we were leaving my son's doctor's appointment last Thursday we came across a mom and her little boy, maybe he was 3 or so? I noticed he was carrying a He-Man figure in his hand and I was like "Waitaminute, that's ORIGINS He-Man!!" so as they came closer I went "Hey!

He-Man had an Alcala head, why couldn't Skeletor?
The face looks a little goofy but I'm glad they have made him a bit more unique from the original rather than looking exactly the same.
I'm hoping for classic heads on variant figures like Battle Armor Skeletor, or in some sort of accessory pack. I legit like this head better than the regular MOTUC head. Although I'd love to see that peg shaved down a little and the Alcala head on there, maybe with vintage harness and skirt?
Strawberry Princess kit bashers unite
Can you put the classics head on the origins figure?
I wonder if we'll get a Shadow Beast in the line as they feature in the mini comic? It would be nice getting something we haven't had before in the vintage style rather than purely vintage toy updates.
Yay I can get a Skeletor under $50! :D
Scalper: "Lol funny joke-"
Same here. It really hurts considering it was originally going for $15.
Don't give in. Wait until next damned year if you have to.

One word megatron
lol even skeletor is bending the knee theas days.
Jabba the Hutt or Cobra Commander
One chains attractive women to his throne, eats live frogs, watches people die for amusement.
The other is a giant slug.
Cy-kill?
Bowser?
I can't wait until next year when these stop being exclusives so I can get them.
I see you getting Teela, Queen Marlena, etc.
@@thespaceram2879 at this price point, I plan to collect the entire retail range. I missed the boat on Classics.
The heads on the Power-Con exclusives look much better. It's a shame that the regular He-Man, Prince Adam, and Skeletor heads look so poor.
I just found this today at my local walmart....and thanks to this review i had to pick it up to go with my 80's tri-klops
I am SO sold on this line. "Pre"-ordered the Castle Grayskull for the next wave, and I am all in.

"I'm drowning!"
Looks like a fun figure. Excellent review as always, Dan.

A home run! These Origins MOTU figures have brought me back into the franchise for the first time since the originals back in 82'!
Oh man! The same thing happened to me. I’m not a big fun of re inventing the shoes so I disliked the other versions of He-man a great deal. But when I saw these I experienced the same euphoria I would experience when I saw these at toy stores when I was a kid. So I’m loving it!!

I’m happy that Mattel has released this line. The figures are a nice throwback. I’m not a big fan of the Skeletor and he-man faces though.
I was so psyched I thought I found this at Target last night, but it ended up being the 200x one. Great video as always.
Love these Dan's reviews, very enjoyable and informative! Greetings from Finland, keep it up! I've pre-ordered this Skeletor figure among He-Man and Man-at-arms. I already have Super7's He-Man, Skeletor, Man-at-arms and Trapjaw vintage versions. Very cool and reminds me from my childhood ^^
Hey dan I just found your channel yesterday and i also have just started my own he man collection with super 7 this week past. I,m loving your reviews I,ve collected anime figures before so im really excited about starting a new collection of one of my favorite 80s properites
Watching your videos had helped renew my interest in MOTU 😎👍
All I can find at my local Walmart is he meant I can't find any other action figure could anybody please send me a Skeletor in the box if I give a PO Box please let me know from one collector to another thank you
I'm loving these so much. My childhood has returned!
Looks really cheap. Won’t be buying this line.
I really don't like the head sculpt/deco on this figure. It just looks overdone.
My origins skeletor has a closed mouth. Also have seen origins he-man with a different heads. Are the re-issues?
Could you do a video, showing the new origins skeletor wearing the vintage armor? I'm interested to see if the vintage armor fits the new body types.
I cannot overstate just how excited that I am for these. I didn't discover the Classics or Super 7's retro line until it was too late and really, that isn't my He-Man and I'm not interested in buying expensive toys made for collectors.

Butterface Skeletor lol, really makes me question buying these
Again terrible head sculpt. Sorry I am not excited with this new Motu line.
I agree, but you gotta figure they will do a head pack of other heads of He-Man and Skeletor at least, that you can swap. I'm hoping. :)
I hope they release a head pack that look much more close to the originals
IMO the only good Skeletor head sculpt is the Alcala one that came with Demo-Man. Every other one he either looks like a clown, like he's wearing a baby bonnet, or both.
this head looks like a knock off figure.. making it simple doesn't mean making it cheap looking. I hope they take notes and improve upon these things.
you should be it's an awesome toy line
Like with He-Man, I am so not okay with the head-sculpt. Hope we're getting alts.
Another great review Pixel Dan. I'm surprised that neither you or Toy Bro covered the fact that these figures have peg holes in the feet. I think that is great for putting them on figure stands if necessary. I hate the loop figure stands for the vintage figures because the feet rarely fit in place and don't hold well.

Oh boy! You could foresee the future.
The face reminds me of the animation from the original advert back in the 80's
I hope someone makes an Alcala style Skeletor head for this version.
I love these new figures, reminds me of my childhood. Seeing them on store pegs again is something i never thought id see again
Why is it that my Skeletor has no fingers on his right hand the hand that he needs to hold the Havoc staff or his sword
So where can I get one of these Nancy Pelosi dolls?
Tim Pool: New Skeletor action figure released, does this mean civil war?.
Poolor - Heroic (?) Master of Mass Hysteria.
I love the expression on Skelly's face. Myah! Have you played with the mixing and matching with the WWE figures?
Masters of the WWE gave me hope that the origins line would be good. I'll definitely pick up He-Man and Old Uncle Bad Bones when I see them.
as with any plastic figure/doll... the more you "dismantle" them, the looser they will get... so BEWARE
I'm not so happy about the paint app on the face.
I think it looks awesome
The heads sculpt and paint job on these new figures are painfully ugly...as well as the crotch era, but at least Skeletor's crotch era is hidden
The thick black lines on his mouth especially look so sloppy.
The sword that came with my vintage Skeletor had a male attachment on the sword like He-man's did so I never knew the two were supposed to click together. I just thought it was some weird design. Did anyone else have this?
That often came with the Dragon Blaster Skeletor sword. The Original and Battle Armour Skeletors usually had the "slot" sword. My DB Skeletor had the tab version, too.
would the havoc staff from the super 7 skeletor fit?
I would’ve liked to see these in comparison to the classics Grayskull! I’m surprised Dan didn’t add that.
Use a hairdryer on your MOTUC heads. They fit fine on the MOTWWEU figures.
I'm also not a fan of this Skeletor head, reminds me of the car commercial that was done a few years ago
What about the shredder
I'd love to see Mattel re-issue the Classics Shadow Beast as part of the Origins line. It'd scale well with the smaller figures and make them look really large and imposing.
The Obscura Toy Files Fantastic idea!!!

As I've said before, if they marketed this as "Robot Chicken Skeletor", it would've gone from an 'Eh!' figure to an awesome figure. It's all in the marketing...IMHO, of course! Happy for people that think he's an awesome figure and I personally hope they offer a new head sculpt with future variants.
I love this one!! I don’t get it why people don’t like it! I guess because it’s not exactly the same as the original?
@@eddiemus78 I loved the articulation on this figure, however I'd been collecting the Masters of the Universe Classics line since 2009, so I was used to the amazing sculpts by the Four Horsemen, loved the 6 inch scale and hated that a line that seemed to be a step back had taken its place. Since then, the Masterverse line has come out and the New Eternia subline in particular has calmed me down and somewhat alleviated my hatred of Origins. It is what it is, Classics is done and Origins have their fan base. I've moved on and am happy to collect the Masterverse line while others enjoy Origins.
Ut oh what happend to the face paint on broski skeletor I will still play with him though
Not big on He Man but love the Nostalgic feel in general great bid thx
I love He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
I think the Skeletor looks better then He-Man
I love Skeletor. But compared to Mumm-Ra... Skeletor is like a Care Bear riding a pink My Little Pony.
True, but the LJN toy for MumRa was rubbish (I had it as a kid), when you took of his head piece he looked stupid (Like a bald man) and the scale of the figures were bad too.
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 mumra got male pattern baldness after a thousand years and due to his corpse rotting in his casket.
I bought one last night at my local Walmart. Believe or not, all they had was Skeletor. No He-Man or any of the other characters. Just Skeletor!
My Wal-Mart had the same problem too for a while
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 It's not a problem for since Skeletor is my favorite character haha!
@@nb_cash *MYAH*
Hopefully they release a weapon pack with the whole sword for both and the vintage head for heman !
maybe some extra hands, a holster for skeletor's sword , etc !
In my opinion the motu classics vehicles, beasts, fit very good from its size to the origins scale. I miss a little the real Action features. But it is just the beginning...
Not quite as awesome as the Classics line, but if they come out with a Saurod in this style, I might just have to start buying them~
Saurod rules.
They made a huge huge mistake not writing a new comic for every figure . If skeletor had a new comic it would be a no brainer to get this figure . Just to read the comic but now I don’t know if I really need this figure . I’m happy wit the super 7 one
This Skeletor figure along with the He-Man classic figure are so cool and fun that even a no fan could have a big interest to buy them. Great work from Mattel.
Something is off about this figures. I mean they look cool, but something makes me don't want to buy them.
They just seem cheap and junky compared to the last few lines that came before them. Even the last kids line beat the pants off of these.
Ya know...after seeing your reviews for these I feel like they're not worth the mad dash and supreme disappointment of Wal-Mart shopping. Both online and in stores. If I see them, I'll grab them, but I'm not wasting time or effort for these. They're not offering enough to make an effort. They should have come with full power swords. The two halves gimmick was always dumb. There, I said it. In fact I love the movie swords. Similar, but different.
OH NO !!! Terrible face . I think it's most terrible than HE-MAN. Toyline ORIGINS don' t see it a good future.
Disappointed. MOTUO feels like expensive dollar store knockoffs. Happens when retro becomes the new retro.
Sleketor: l'm not fight you here he-man, but I'll leave this pretty statue for remind me boy *evil laugh*
Answer me this guys: why did Walmart put them online for sale for a couple days? Is that it or are they coming in stores?
They’ll be available in stores this fall
I should have asked the Mom I ran into which Wal-Mart she got him at, she had just said "we got him at Wal-Mart", but she didn't say if she got him online or not. Gah! Oppurtunity missed!🤦♂️
Kids have higher expectations in regards to toys quality. This skeletor is a joke. If you buy it just because is a MOTU figure, you need to seek professional help.
Horrible head sculpt, horrible paint deco, I'm sorry pixel Dan, I don't understand how you can say its fantastic when its obviously terrible
Love the idea, I like the figures for the most part, but not a fan of the heman and skeletor head sculpts. That's what has me on the fence whether to get them or not.
In my case the new head sculpt is what made me get into collecting them.
Why did Mattel stop making classics line figures 😔 ?
Because they didn‘t sell enough.
@@melkor2301because they were impossible to buy with the stupid matty collector thing only
Insert pizza quote here
Do you really gotta look at them for what they are? AFTER we know what Classics is and could have been?
Dan do you think I they will make origins mosquitor
megatron wants a word with you.
Very true.... If you exclude F'l'mation (all right, except for the Oppenheimer voice), Skeletor may be able to grasp a candle and carry it towards Megatron's general direction, perhaps....
First he-man and now skeletor. With those faces and heads, It almost gives the impression the guys at Mattel are making fun of the brand (and the fans). It's almost as bad as the latest thundercats reboot cartoon
The faces are really what is bothering me the most with this new line. Not a fan of that open mouth on Skeletor. I understand they were trying to differentiate these from the vintage figures, but to me, most of these new faces just look inferior to the vintage ones. I do enjoy the vibrant colors on him, though.
Megatron would have words with you regarding who is the best 80s villain.
He would lose. Skeletor has never been killed. Megatron has, many many times.
@@Rocket1377 Name two.
the left elbow bend on mine is locked, looks like excess glue in there. any fixes? i have one still in package. I bought two so i could customize one a little.
To be hounest: Skeletors open mouth bothers me. He looks not good with it. But at least that is the only thing in that complete first Wave that I don´t like.
Two words Robot Chicken!
Skeletor not even close to being the best villain of the 80s. Megatron is 10x the villain Skeletor was
Ok I do not even collect MOTU and I want this!!!😁😁😁
I have to get this guy to complete the he man power sword cuz I don't like the half sword
