This Skeletor looked so cool. One of the best ideas Mattel ever had in the 80s. Skeletor was a true beast physique wise to.

I wish they made the dragon articulated and the chain long enough so that you could pose Skeletor sat with the dragon on his lap like an old James Bond villian.

It's weird that they didn't at least make the mouth open to simulate it blasting.

For me the best Skeletor ever, maybe because I only had this one as a kid;)

So glad Mattel updated the armor. The original DB Skeletor figure looked like it had on a Sports Bra. Also, for people griping about action features...to make EVERY figure with an action feature would skyrocket costs of production. A company like Mattel, which uses Chinese Sweatshops to make the toys, and a Canadian company to ship them, works as cheap as possible.

Haha the baby Skeletor comment was hilarious. The dragon looks like its been hanging out, with the Super Mario Bros. movie version of Yoshi...

Pixel Dan, I am surprised to see that you have not reviewed the MOTU Origins Dragon Blaster Skeletor.

I feel they could have had the Dragon Blast water. Thanks for the review you HELP all my purchases.

These masters of the universe figures are so darn awesome!! And i love your review style!

My favorite Skeletor figure

The problem here seems to be that the 4H really dropped the ball on this one and forgot they were designing an action figure and instead made a statue updating the vintage figure's look. The dragon appears to have really suffered because of this. Even if they had've made him a solid piece, but instead used the leg placement of the vintage figure's dragon; it could still have worked as a standalone figure. Never thought I'd see the day when a screwup would be the 4H's fault and not Mattel's.

You forgot to say that his right hand is the same open one from The Original Skeletor figure.

Skeletor's Dragon has a smile like Mileena.

Coolest He-Man figure ever!!! :)

You know what'd be an even better combination? The Dragon Blaster body with the vs. Lex Luthor harness and head!

Interested now seeing how you can recreate vintage design. So what was the Classics based on? Filmation looks? Is the skin tone similar to Keldor's since it is lighter than Skeletor's?

dragon head plus skelator's body equals dragor and awesome!

you could use filmation skellator waste belt to make all purple armour

Have you tried using the head that came with battle armor Skeletor? That would make it even more like the vintage figure. Also I wish they had just made the green collar on the dragon removable. At lest then you could have him off the chain.

Great review! Thank you! I really like Dragon Blaster Skeletor, but the smudgy-painted black plastic limbs and ugly dragon head made me want to customise this one badly. I managed to swap the head, armour, and boots over onto an "Original" Skeletor, but I still need to do something about that dragon head. I don't know what went on there, but it's terrible.

It is sculpted around the neck and painted. It's not a separated item.

I hope we get Terror Claw Skeletor. That was my favorite Skeletor variant.

Totally agree about the blue coloring. It looks great on that Skeletor. I wished the original was blue like Faker. I still like the head on the original though. The two-pack Skeletor (with Lex Luthor) just doesn't measure up.

It's too damn bad they didn't release this last month..With all the figures coming out I have to hold off of this

Very cool, finally something that is worth the pick up !

Cool

Will we ever get a weapons pack with a Havoc Staff in it? Im still hoping so, my battle armor skeletor needs one to be like his vintage counterpart. Why did they put that axe in there?

I'm glad they did not. The current price is fine with me. Thanks Mattel :)

Exactly how many more He-Man & Skeletor Variants are there counting both Original & New Adventures & 20xx Series? Would you say this Figure is worth getting just to have a Complete Vintage Skeletor or Skippable?

I actually like the way he looks. But black painted plastic? No deal Matty

Hey Dan you should check out figure realm I'm gonna make my own marvel legends/ four horseman of the apocalypse skeleton figure using a toy biz wrarrl figure a life of cloth for the cape and hood and maybe a intergalactic skeleton head if its big enough. I'll send u a pic once its finished

you can put off the armor completely?

Is the figure very back heavy? will it be a challenge to get Skeletor to stand?

This action figure is so damn cool!

woooooohooooo! thanks for the review dan great job!

Dan, are you sure it's the black plastic from underneath his painted hands or is it black paint from the swords handle? My reissue skeletor has black paint chips on his hands from the swords handle! Either way, not happy is painting black plastic on these figures now.

Kind of a pain that Mattel takes your extras away. Do they ever send you the extra bits, or is Horde Prime still the Mighty Spector?

No my friend, i'm not saying that i want it to be articulated. The little dragon is just fine the way it is. I was just joking about the politics of Mattel, that would charge us $40 dollars or more for the figure, with the excuse that it would be super expensive to articulate the little dragon.

Draego Alternate head, or Draego was Skeletors pet?

Why does this need its own figure? Just make armour packs to put them on regular skeletor.

thats a good point

If the little dragon were articulated, Mattel would have to charge $40 dollars for the figure. Poor Mattel.

Want.

I got the original one. Well pretty damaged actually. :)

SKELETOR DRAGON BLASTER!!!!!!!! the next new 30th anniversary figure!!!!!!

out of curiousity, any reason why you upload these he-man reviews in groups rather than as you come by the figures?

Is that pet the mutant monster Grr from "The New Adventures of He-Man?" X-0

To hell with Dragon Blaster. Where's Disco Bonebrain!

the collar is part of him

00:38 Eyesore!

all that's left is Cy-chop

The vintage one is better in this case

Great review, but I think I'll sell this one...

Oh hholy lord is that silly hehehe this is why I love MOTU

OH EM GEE! It looks so awesome. It's like The Horsemen and Mattel took how I thought the toy looked back then and molded it into this beautiful looking figure. I know that's their intend, but no other figure captures this for me like this one. ^^

why would you want it to be articulated?

Haha poor Mattel indeed. One has to feel bad, for such a poverty stricken multi-billion dollar company that has been around since 1945.... Mattel could barely make ends meet at $30 a figure starting in 2013... My condolences goes out to them... Then again knowing Mattel, they would probably charge me for shipping it to them. Hopefully they don't also charge for sarcasm....

ha ha ha not suking change eads bery goot cridents from Mexico

Sad... no water blast; not cool, no thanks!

you should have kept it in the package for this one. No comic included error could have sold for 1000 dollars to manchild collectors on ebay.

why would they use black plastic as a base if the majority of the figure is blue? stupid stupid stupid.

8 figures was ruined by the Black Plastic Morbo back in 2012. After this fail, after the Digital River poor quality, after the Mighty Spector and after the Shadow Weaver psychological blackmail Mattel was wining about low sales... We don't need a marketing expert to have the answer...

dragon sucks.
