You could just call it the evil shadow of skeletor - kinda like Peter Pan lol

I really am so jelly of all the people who get these test shots or prototypes. I really want one!

Skeletor looks really cool grey! I really hope that down the line, they release him with an all-black body, armor and hood. If Frank Langella wins that OSCAR(tm), they should do it in his honor! ...lol.....

I got these recently and thought I would share a few pics using my wimpy camera. Sorry for the mediocre pics. Skeletor has two tones of pink, a more solid pink color on the torso and neck, and a more translucent pink for the arms and legs. Skeletor also has white foot bottoms and Beast Man has gray foot bottoms. Both figures lack any stamps or markings.

This is a really cool thread. Thanks for taking these pictures and showing us that these are the real deal! Those are great pieces to have in your collection!

I think that the test shot heads looks better, it`s more round and looks more like the classic He man!!! the one we got seems like it`s more long and angular

**sircory-1** · January 10, 2009, 02:08pm

My question is, how many of these test shot figures would they have made/used? I know we can't know an exact number, but a lot? few? I also have a gray-painted beast man and notice some differences compared to the official MOTUC figure.

**Agent-GHQ** · January 10, 2009, 05:30pm

Idon't see a significant difference other than the obvious.

**claw guy 3** · January 10, 2009, 08:26pm

Notice the skin colour? It's lighter. The same as King Greyskull's? Seems obvious maybe

Thanks to share your photos with us.

**Motorthing** · January 11, 2009, 06:30am

You are a brave man to take them apart like that - what if they broke? Doesn't all that handling make the gray come off?

The test-shot looks more fierce somehow, but I'm OK with the finished version.

**Pixel Dan** · January 24, 2009, 11:21am

Wow! another great proto figure! These pics are awesome, thanks!

**sircory-1** · January 24, 2009, 11:44am

Nice pictures. I have an unpainted MOTUC Stratos test shot in comparison to your gray one.

**Son of Keldor** · January 24, 2009, 11:48am

You beat me to it. That's what I was going to say.
Anyhow, must be nice to have a Stratos already.

Seeing as how alot of people are getting protos and test shots already Mattel should step it up and release more then 1 figure at a time.

**hhhelmsley** · January 24, 2009, 09:55pm

Cool chase figure indeed.

**Evil Ed** · January 24, 2009, 10:18pm

Cool!! The prototype with yellow belt!!

**Zuff-Man** · January 25, 2009, 12:48am

I was concerned orignally that the gray on Statos would be to flat but his body looks nicely textured. Great Photos

**capitalzero** · January 25, 2009, 01:20am

I can't wait to own Stratos.

but if he comes in with a yellow belt, he'll be sent back. We were assured he'd have the correct, red belt.

**Tiggerbeast** · January 25, 2009, 06:39pm

He looks like the Spitting Image puppet (UK adult puppet show that was shown in the UK in the 1980's - the characters were charactures of politicians, celebs ect) version of John Major (Former UK Prime Minister).

I really wonder why they sculpted the wings that way. We now know it wasn`t any kind of production error
