According to Roy Juarez and Fetch Etchart:

Skeletor discovered the mysterious Black Pyramids on Eternia. Now, with the strength of Mumm-Ra granted to him by the Ancient Spirits of Evil, Skell-Ra the Ever-Living comes after the Power of Grayskull, and he is more dangerous then ever before.

Skell-Ra Official Images

As this is Mattel revealing these images, of course they would focus a shot of just Skeletor!

Here we have the official dio shot images of the Skell-Ra features deluxe packaging!

• Skell-Ra, Ever-Living Evil of Eternia, has been created by a crossover of villains from two iconic 80’s brands –Master of the Universe’s Skeletor with ThunderCats’ Mumm-Ra.
• Skeletor discovered the mysterious Black Pyramids on Eternia. Now, with the strength of Mumm-Ra, Skell-Ra the Ever-Living comes after the Power of Grayskull and he’s more dangerous than ever before

• At 5.5-inch scale this figure has 16 movable joints and a double-ended Sword of Plun-Darr accessory. Swappable heads and armor transform Mumm-Ra to Skell-Ra, and back again
• The swappable elements include a Mumm-Ra head and a Skell-Ra head, a cape that reverses from red to purple, a Skeletor-style harness and skirt armor, and a Mumm-Ra style harness, arm wrap and skirt armor
• Character cards are included for Skeletor and Mumm-Ra. They fit together for a fuller picture

Evil awakens with the Skell-Ra Action Figure ($29.99). This is such a cool idea where you get two figures in one! The collaboration of two iconic 80s brands, Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats, yields an action figure of the Ever-Living Evil of Eternia, Skell-Ra! He comes with 2 swappable heads, a reversible purple / red cape, and swappable harness and skirt armor pieces, so he can evolve from Skell-Ra into Mumm-Ra. The Sword of Plun-darr completes the double-edged picture.

You can switch between Skeletor and Mumm-Ra with the figure’s Sword of Plundarr weapon, a reversible cape, swappable heads, and swappable harness and skirt armor pieces. 

A hi res close up of Skell-Ra’s face shows you what an incredible job Mattel did with these sculpts! Skeletor looks super cool with his red eyes and skeleton jaw! Also the face sculpt for Mumm-Ra is so classic looking!
