Also I discovered something nobody has put on reviews.....turn on the lights then double press the button quickly. They will turn red and will slowly change through all colors including red, yellow, purple and others. So there is actually more than 3 colors. It will also keep cycling through them all. Press the button again once and it goes to orange standard.
I was on the fence, but after this, I’m getting it. Damn you, MC and AJ!! Based on the packaging art, Panthor and Snake Men are coming… I love what you did to the head, and I’m definitely doing it on mine as well. Excellent review, AJ.
LOL Another $70 syphoned out of your retirement fund. Sorry about that! 😬 Changing the head was definitely a game changer for me! Of course it is ultimately a personal decision... but personally I am so much happier now after not just altering the head... but swapping the bodies with the 2022 New Eternia Skeletor as well. I love it now! Masterverse Snake Men are coming? Yes please! From your lips to Zoar's ears, I hope so!!! 🤞
I only wanted Skeletor for the Alcala head, but this review has swayed me into also getting the throne. I already bought the Skelly from a guy, but I think I’ll have to buy a whole set and sell my double Skelly. Dag nabbit!!
I agree with you about the lack of vehicles and playsets. Masterverse is the only MOTU line ever to not have a Castle Grayskull. This throne is an awesome step in the right direction.
I think the problem lies in its scale, the figures are pretty huge compared to classics and origins. If we do get a Castle Grayskull I definitely see it being a kickstarter project. I wouldn’t mind more diorama pieces like this one though
Yes!!! Masterverse needs a Castle Grayskull at the very least and this throne is definitely a step in the right direction. 🙂 I personally would LOVE to see a Masterverse New Eternia Castle Grayskull based on the Mark Taylor original design. New Eternia is all about those "Classic Concepts"! 😀
To be fair, the Origins Wind Raider and Stridor (and now Night Stalker) have more than enough room for Masterverse figures. Stridor even looks better with Masterverse Fisto vs Origins.
I seriously can’t get over how they nailed this one… it’s as if they did it just for me, with all the right notes and the right style, the right scenes, compositions. colors. This packaging art right here - some of the best modern box art out there IMHO, comparing all figures & toys made, makes me ecstatic to say how much I feel it’s an amazing time to be a MOTU collector now. For me and throughout my life, the art is equally important to the figure in my collecting.
I get that. $70 U.S. is a big investment. Perhaps they could have offered a version without a figure, or maybe even scaled back on some of the packaging to soften the blow to our bank accounts.
My only problem with this fig they dont gived him a aword for the price they ask tjat would be not impossible. too give him the barbarian skeletor sword
Damn, I haven't seen so much chin since the Cartoon Collection's Man At Arms! And the boil/freeze hack really does work (shout out to fanboysforever for teaching me the technique). This is a nice set with well done lighting effects, but it's your head swap on Skeletor that really sends it over the top! I don't really collect Masterverse so this was a pass but your review has me reconsidering. That's a lot of throne for an Origins figure but Skeletor's ego is so big, it kind of makes sense.
The head swap was huge my friend! It took a lot of work to get me across the finish line with this Skeletor... but once I got there.. I was so happy. (He's actually right next to me as I type this.😀) True, it is a lot of throne for an Origins figure... but the positive is it is basically the Filmation throne brought to life! 😀
The Alcala Head is the real winner here, I bet it looks amazing on the 40th anniversary Skeletor. Great review AJ!
Great idea! I will be trying it when I receive my Throne set
I really love the body swap you did Aj. That was an excellent idea 💜
Accessories and playsets don't sale at retail. Most stores have killed their MOTU section.
Thank God for BBTS
Love it!!!!!! Can't wait to add on to my shelf, and surround it with the villains.
Yesssssss!!!! I just set it up the way you described and it's awesome!
Thanks for showing us a pic with classics
You bet! Thanks for the thanks! I wish I spent more time on it but I felt it was running long. Thanks again!
Also I discovered something nobody has put on reviews.....turn on the lights then double press the button quickly.

That’s fantastic!
Thank you so much, AJ! I perfectly agree with you, the head swap makes it way better .
I was on the fence, but after this, I’m getting it. Damn you, MC and AJ!! Based on the packaging art, Panthor and Snake Men are coming… I love what you did to the head, and I’m definitely doing it on mine as well. Excellent review, AJ.
Changing thr head ruins the figure
LOL Another $70 syphoned out of your retirement fund. Sorry about that! 😬

Look good okay love Dwight Jr 👍👍👍👍
The best thing about having accessories for the Masterverse is because it would fit every MOTU line.
Awesome figure, awesome display - really looking forward to getting this one! Nice review btw
Thanks Sunnyshine! Always appreciate hearing from you!
happy to see more of masters of the universe...i will keep watching,. i love he-man
Appreciate that and agreed! So much love for He-Man. Masters of the Universe is just the best!
I love the head sculpt, my problem with it is the it’s too long or rectangular.
I only wanted Skeletor for the Alcala head, but this review has swayed me into also getting the throne.
I already bought the Skelly from a guy, but I think I’ll have to buy a whole set and sell my double Skelly.
Dag nabbit!!
True !we need vehicles and play sets ✌️✌️
Definitely picking this up!! Also want to see how the SDCC Death's Head will look with it.
Great review AJ ✌🏻
I can't wait until i have mine ❤️
Can’t wait to get mine!

no way... get the motuc ones its the way more appropriate scale
Good review brother can’t wait to get mine kinda want to get a 2nd for Vader he would look dope with that lighting too
😊am going to think 1 before I buy can I use cartoon on throne
I'm excited to get mine but damn Entertainment Earth sent me an email telling me that it got pushed back all the way till Jan of freaking next year
Panthor is coming.
We need Panthor.
The packaging is the real star
I seriously can’t get over how they nailed this one… it’s as if they did it just for me, with all the right notes and the right style, the right scenes, compositions. colors.

For me and throughout my life, the art is equally important to the figure in my collecting.
Looks neat, but I only collect Origins. Great review!
How does it scale with MOTU CLASSICS Snake Mountain
Please can you tell me whatis size of the box in centimeters all three size . Thanx in advance
It's too bad the packaging is sooooo nice because it's be a crime not to open it
I was hoping for the new wider chest in this Skeletor, also if they had use the new "drop hips" he would have sit better in his throne.😒
Awesome review! I wonder how many hours the batteries 🪫 last🤔
Looks great. I'm not happy about the price though.
I get that. $70 U.S. is a big investment. Perhaps they could have offered a version without a figure, or maybe even scaled back on some of the packaging to soften the blow to our bank accounts.
My only problem with this fig they dont gived him a aword for the price they ask tjat would be not impossible. too give him the barbarian skeletor sword

Does anyone know the background of why the staff of Ka is included? Is it part of the New Eterina storyline?
Yes and is it removable?
@@sunnyshine2215Yes, the Staff of Ka is definitely removable. My bad for not pulling it out. Sorry!
You ruined the head smushing it , now his skull looks like it’s crushed. I would never alter a figure like this .
I am self-forbidden to do such an act myself, would never cross my mind.
Origins Skeletor looks like a baby in a high chair 🤣
Not bad for 39.99
Where you see that price? I’ve seen it for $69.99
That IS bad. Not bad for $39.99
BAD for $69.99
Shame for that price not include his sword tha alcala head is amazing but im not interested in the throne
Sorry i couldn't see much of a difference in the skull after you tried to fix it !!...
Anyone else think that head sculpt looks like Biden? Lol. Wish you would've thrown God Lyn on there. Otherwise great review. Ty
Thanks, not buying the skelemonkey after your review. Armor color is also horrible 😢
Masterverse is not hitting the right notes
