Skeletor, AFA EX+/NM 75

Masters of the Universe Skeletor AFA EX+/NM 75 (C75/B85/F85) Series 1/8 Back (Mattel, 1982). Masters of the Universe (Motu) was Mattel's first big dive into the action figure market of the 80's. In a competitive market space, Mattel saw huge success with their bulky, and muscular figures that towered over figures in other franchises like G.I. Joe and Star Wars. They also debuted a TV show which introduced kids to the Mighty He-Man in a science fiction/fantasy epic where he defended Castle Grayskull from the forces of evil. Featured here is an early release of He-Man's greatest foe, Skeletor! The 8 figures on the back of the card mark this as one of his earliest versions of the figure from Mattel. Despite his frightening appearance to parents, children immediately embraced the diabolical character and he has remained one of the most iconic villains of all time. Due to the rarity and desirability of this figure, you do not want to miss a chance to add this to your collection. AFA has graded this figure a EX+/NM 75 with the subgrades C75 B85 F85.
