Description

Masters of the Universe Skeletor Series 1 / 8 Back AFA Y-75 (Mattel, 1982). Crashing onto toy shelves in the early '80s like a battle cry from Eternia, Masters of the Universe marked Mattel's bold leap into the booming action figure arena. In a world dominated by smaller-scale figures like G.I. Joe and Star Wars, MOTU's hulking, musclebound warriors carved out their own kingdom-backed by an animated series that launched He-Man and his universe of techno-sorcery into the hearts of millions. Featured here is the legendary Series 1 Skeletor, He-Man's most formidable foe, sealed on an unpunched 8-Back card that proudly bears the original 90-day limited warranty stamp along the bottom reverse. The vintage figure is encased in acrylic and graded AFA 75 Y-EX+/NM with subgrades of C75 B85 F85. This Lord of Destruction is more than a figure-it's a relic of villainy that helped define a generation of Saturday morning heroes and their foes.
