Faction: Evil Warriors
Faker is the evil robot of Skeletor in the Masters of the Universe line. Released in 1983 and discontinued in 1984, the figure came with half of the Power Sword and a removable Skeletor harness cast in orange plastic. He was essentially a blue He-Man with orange Skeletor accessories. Some versions came with Skeletor arms rather than He-Man arms. He was reissued starting in late 1986, with a solid head, instead of the original hollow head. Some reissue versions also had the larger feet from Thunder Punch He-Man. He had a spring-loaded power punch action feature and six points of articulation.
