Happy Monday! For this #MastersMonday post from the archives, we’re continuing with 1982 releases from the vintage Mattel Masters of the Universe line. Today, we’re doin’ some time with Skeletor!
Long before the Skullhead became a villainous staple with humorous quips in the Filmation He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series, the character was part of a different narrative. The Lord of Destruction was a mysterious, spooky skeleton in the early mini-comics.
In reality, the look of the character was inspired by a mummified corpse that designer Mark Taylor saw as a child when visiting an amusement park funhouse in Long Beach.
