Last year Isaac and I started to watch the 2002 TV series reboot of MOTU. It had a more serious tone then the original series and better animation. Now whenever we see a cool MOTU action figure we want, we get it.
So we found the original 1982 Skeletor released by Mattel. This is a great classic action figure. Its in good condition but missing his havoc staff and power sword.
Here is the original back of the package it came from in the days...
i was just telling Reis over at Dork Horde that this was my "last hurrah" with toys as a child- 1982-83 were the last years I'd get them for Christmas. And '82 was a pretty cool haul of the first of these toys, including a Castle Greyskull, some of the vehicles, and even a Battle Cat! Great memories :)
ReplyDeleteYeah Mattel created some amazing toys with the MOTU collection back then!
DeleteI LOVE MOTU!! Glad you guys watched the 2002 reboot of the toon. It's a personal fav of mine.
ReplyDeleteYeah its an awesome toon!
DeleteThe 2002 figures are really cool too!
Love me some Masters of the Universe and that figure looks to be in pretty top shape too!
ReplyDeleteYeah its in great condition... considering its like 30 years old!
DeleteNice...MOTU never loose that nostalgic feeling when you see them. I think its because for the few years it was out...IT WAS EVERYWHERE! lol
ReplyDeleteVery nice find.
Back then they were "one of a kind". And some very unique and colourful characters were made.
