Skeletor's (Frank Langella) armour with light-up gauntlets from Gary Goddard's Masters of the Universe. After taking control of Castle Grayskull and absorbing the powers of the universe, Skeletor transformed himself into a god-like figure clad in golden armour.
This lot consists of ornately detailed fibreglass chest armour with leather shoulder straps, shoulder plates, snap-button closures, and a belt marked "D," all padded with cloth-wrapped foam painted gold; a matching lame-blend high-collared shoulder; matching gloves with skull-shaped fingertips sewn on; a leatherette belt with matching pteruges; and a pair of cast resin gauntlets painted gold with fastening strip closures. The gauntlets feature multiple lights designed to illuminate in sequence when they are connected to an AC power outlet. Also included is a custom-made, velvet-lined wooden display base with gold-colour mesh gloves. This lot exhibits peeling cloth on the shoulder pads, wrinkling in the pteruges, and chipped paint throughout.
