Mattel Creations Masters of the Universe Origins Skeletor x VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack

The Skelebrtaion begins with this new Mattel Creations Masters of the Universe Skeletor x VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack! Based on the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection Skeletor along with a VeeFriends Skilled glow in the dark Skeleton, this new 2 pack kicks off the Filmation inspired Origins line. GaryVee, the artist behind VeeFriends attributes early interest in collecting to Masters of the Universe. GaryVee says that “MOTU were some of the first toys I ever collected, and were instrumental in my imaginative play as a child with my best friend, Robbie. We played with all the characters in our backyard in Edison, New Jersey through two straight summers.” As we reported early on in the year, Mattel says that the Skelebration is upon us, and to join Skeletor and his henchmen as they seek to conquer the internet and all of Eternia with partnerships, product drops, content releases, and much more. The fun continues through October 13. We can’t wait to see what else Skelly and his vile henchmen have in-store for us, MYAH! This new set launches Oct 6th, 2023 at 9am PST and will retail for $45.00. You can purchase this set at : Masters of the Universe Skeletor x VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack – Mattel Creations

Skeletor x VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack

This special Skeletor x VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack comes in collector grade packaging with incredible artwork on all sides that opens up to reveal the Filmation Inspired Cartoon collection Skeletor packed with the Glow in the Dark Skilled Skeleton.

VeeFriends is an entertainment company that combines art, storytelling, collecting, events and innovative technologies to build a community around a movement of kindness and positivity. The company’s mission is to scale 283 unique VeeFriends characters and their attributes to create a better world. These characters foster a sense of community and inspire creativity, self-discovery, accountability, and personal growth and it is great to see a MOTU collaboration come to life.

The artwork is incredible and pays homage to the classic original mini-comics.

Skeletor includes 3 swappable heads, 5 swappable hands, flex chain, hood, and armor in that classic Filmation style. The Skilled Skeleton glows in the dark and features 6 swappable hands, hood, and armor.

The two style of figures go really well with each other, which makes us think there also might be a He-Man version coming down the pipeline. It’s also great to get another, more professional, look at the upcoming Cartoon Collection Skeletor figure, which uses the new MOTU Origins buck.

The Veefreinds version of Skeletor is glow in the dark, which is a cool feature! Who does not like glow in the dark?

We also have a good look at the swappable faceplates for Skeletor and it’s very cool that they are adding faceplates vs. alternate head sculpts, as this is a more scalable way to create different looks for the same character. Only a select number of figures would be able to utilize this, unless Mattel figures out how to make more figures come with faceplate swaps vs. alternate heads.

Official Product Description:

It’s a powerful thing to bring together opposing energies. The Masters of the Universe fans in us love the chaos incarnate of Filmation-era Skeletor. And we’re huge fans of creating the future through positivity, like GaryVee does with his VeeFriends characters. So it makes our universe complete to introduce Skeletor to Skilled Skeleton. Our MOTU Skeletor features faceplates and hands available only in this wickedly special 2-Pack; Skilled Skeleton has swappable hands and glows in the dark.
