MOTU Revelation Skelegod Masterverse Action Figure Review | Masters of the Universe

[@MultiStormywaters]

It's a bit silly, but you can also swap Skelegod's hands with origins figures and vice versa, giving skelegod tiny hands, or Origins figures GIANT CLAWS!

Skelegod looks totally different to me....but different is not always bad. Happy to get mine soon (hopefully the ankles will not be so loose). Great Review, thank you @pixeldan !

[@JurassicRod]

I suspect the awesome trailer footage will be mostly from the first episode and then the series will ditch He-man to become the Teela show so I don't have much excitement for it yet. A series specific figure like this will have to wait till I've seen the cartoon before I decide if I want it or not depending on if I like the series.

[@rayvenkman2087]

Found him earlier this week and he's cool for what he is. Problems? For sure, but overall a fine and cool-looking figure. And big props for getting me into the Origins line with your reviews. Picked up He-Man and Skeletor and liked them so much I preordered everything BBTS had listed lol.

I dont think there is a lot of complaining about this show here. I think fans in general have to much respect for Pixel Dan positive attitude to try to bring it down with complaints. I hope you guys dont try to drag Pixel Dan into your internet quarrel. Lets keep this comment section positive and focused for the most part on the figures.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Regardless of how I feel about MOTU Revelation (the trailer looks great, but I’m doubtful given all the leaks; nevertheless, it’s good seeing He-Man onscreen again), Skelegod looks GREAT. I’m honestly tempted to pick up this big lug. If the Masterverse line continues past the Revelation stuff, I’m personally holding out for that whole “anything MOTU is allowed” statement to be proven true. She-Ra 2018 Hordak and Entrapta two-pack, anyone? What about giving Skeleteen (Skeletor and Evil-Lyn’s boy) a proper figure so He-Ro II can have a proper rival? The possibilities are endless with this line, and I for one welcome it.

I just got mine in the mail today, I love the look of him, including the cape. Unfortunately most of the joints on mine were scarily tight, but it's nothing a little hot water couldn't fix. The head on mine does not easily come off. I'm not interested in any of the other figures in this line I've seen photos of, I got him solely for his imposing stature against origins. If he's God Skeletor then he should TOWER over the other figures and with origins he does.

[@Kooster69]

If you like Skelegod, I recommend that you don't wait too long to get this one. Mattel, unless they work out something with Universal, will only be able to do Masters of the Universe until the end of 2022. In 2023, the entire Masters of the Universe license officially goes to Universal. A copyright loophole lets Mattel use the Masters of the Universe license until 2023. Additionally, Mattel is well known for getting rid of the tooling (aka molds) for a toy line after it ends. Mattel no longer has the tooling for the Masters of the Universe Classics line, which is why we will never see reissues for the Masters of the Universe Classics.

My ankles are loose as well. He flops around like a mer-man with out land legs. I also do not care for the dirt paint pass they apply.

[@Rocket1377]

Some of the sculpt looks weird, especially those skinny elbows, but what I *really* hate is that he has He-Man's logo on his chest. Just...why? It makes no sense for a villain to use a symbol that is associated with the forces of good. Skeletor has several symbols of his own already anyway (the crossed bones & the Battle Armour bat insignia). I suppose the idea is that this represents Skeletor stealing the power of Castle Grayskull, but She-Ra also possesses the power of Grayskull, and she doesn't have that logo on her outfit. The God Skeletor from the live action movie was better than this, and that was just a gold version of his regular costume with a new helmet.

[@nflfanatic4life]

I honestly hated that too. He shouldn't be wearing He-Man's letter H whether he defeats him or not.

[@FandomEntanglement]

My guess is that Skeletor will acquire the ability to harness the power of Grayskull through the power sword and in essence become… He-Man. Like how Prince Adam says “By the power of Grayskull” and transforms into He-Man, Skeletor will subsequently transform into the embodiment of He-Man… which in this case would be Skelegod.
