Skeletor was first introduced into the Classics line back in January 2009, and took almost a day to sell out. This was mainly because the line was rather unknown at the time. Once the news about the classics line grew, the demand for this figure grew as well.
In the end Mattel had to re-release the figure at the end of the year - and it sold out in around 40 minutes. This was mainly because everybody wanted the figure - including the ones who had the first release as it had a different left hand. The left hand in the re-lease was sculpted so that it could hold the havoc staff, or power sword. The left hand on the first release was open, like it was in the vintage line.
Real Name: Keldor
Mortally wounded in battle with his half-brother Captain Randor, Keldor turned to his dark-arts master Hordak to save his life. Hordak merged Keldor with an extra-dimensional being Demo-Man from Despondos, Keldor was forever changed into Skeletor, Overlord of Evil! He gathered together many of Eternia’s greatest outcasts and evil warriors in his quest to gain entry into Castle Grayskull and obtain what he believes is the universe’s ultimate power source.
Skeletor comes with a havoc staff, a power sword and a half sword.
