The best part of the movie was Frank Langella as Skeletor. Now Langella's Skeletor has been immortalized in plastic as an action figure.
Articulation
Without me saying anything you already know that the articulation is problematic. Shoukderpads, cape, draping tasset-like skirt. All of these limit his articulation he doesn't have a boot cut.
3.5
Paint and sculpt
This Skeletor is far more colorful than I remembered. Escape is in a weird purple / blood red color and he has lots of accents I didn't notice before. Sadly the paint has a bit sloppy and in some of the details there is a little bit of paint bleed. it is not the end of the world as we know it but it's there and it's noticeable.
4.5
Accessories
Normal sized and movie accurate Cosmic Key.
Havoc Staff
Dark Sword
I wish we could have gotten a second head for Skeletor maybe screaming, because he needed a little bit extra
5.0
Overall
Skeletor gets a 4.33 as his final score. The figure did pretty well despite its limitations. I kind of wish he had got in interchangeable heads because I totally would have bought an extra of this guy just to swap in the langella skull for the toy skull... just to have a truly classicized Skeletor.
