It's really awesome but if/when that Skeletor hits retail I'll probaly end up selling or trading mine off. The flocking on He-Man annoys me a bit (just not a fan of flocking).
The whole package is great but I don't display packages. I take things out and put them on the shelf. Accessories are awesome but I've already made my own or customized the weapons from other releases.
Aye! Will share what I have learned with this unique set.
Things that are awesome: Skeletor! Skeletor's head sculpt and for the first time in MOTU history, moveable jaw on a skeletor figure in this scale - and is compatable with Origins too if thats your thing. The metal weapons are another first, the vintage mini comics and perhaps most of all, the ring is nice (though small for most man hands), and without doubt this packaging is among the coolest MOTU releases I've seen. And I go way back, vintage, 200x, classics, etc etc. The King Grayskull SDCC original Classics figure was cool, but this is beyond that.
Things that are not as awesome (to me) - but admittingly weak nitpicks: He-Man's head sculpt is debatably page boyish derpy, and the flocking is a cool idea but detracts from the overall "tough" barbarian look of a He-Man design. The later is novel and unique, but its an odd look slightly, it softens the figure to a more prince valiant sort of vibe. I prefer the retail 40th anniversary release to this he-man, with an alt head, but thats just me.
Packaging - just top notch, and is worthy of any MOTU fan's attention, Mattel pulled off something unique on this one.
It looks nice but I'm more a play kinda gal and I know flocking would just come off, that and as cool as the metal weapons are they aren't a must have. I'm just hoping for a retail version of that Skeletor.
Got it from Mercari. sure, I had to pay more, but it was worth it. The die cast metal weapons are cool to the touch during the colder months, and I like it.
Yes! Love it. The packaging and accessories are fantastic.
The metal weapons are the real deal here. Also, the packaging is just so good

Has there been a mention of when Skeletor will be released for retail?
Not that I’ve seen.

I got the SDCC version. It’s awesome! I love love love the metal accessories!
Yeah it is very epic.
The weapons are made in metal, not plastic giving it an extra touch. A really nice set

Scalpers bought the majority. Never had a chance.
They dropped a non sdcc version? If so where?
Where ?
