formal introduction...

just following standard forum protocols and introducing myself... name's Paul, and i'm from Chicago.

found this forum last year when i was sourcing for my Skeletor costume. found you folks again when i was checking in on whether or not Mattel was going to make Wizard World Chicago this year.

debuted my "final" Skeletor costume- ala the Mattel 2002 figure, at San Diego Comic Con's Masquerade a few weeks ago. but more on that in another thread.


so, greetings from the Windy City everyone.

Welcome to the friendliest home for Eternians around. Hope your premiere as Skeletor went well. Post some pics!!

Take care!

welcome aboard! there's a ton of Chicago .orgers on here... great city, been to Chicago Comic Con twice myself... had a BLAST both times!

Hello from the UK and the Vaults website.

thanks for the welcomes.

here are some shots from the San Diego Comic Con appearance...

SATURDAY: Skeletor & Evil-Lyn [follow the link for more photos]

being our first time to San Diego Comic Con, and maybe ONLY, we thought it'd be fun. so we hope folks got a kick out of our performance. if you didn't make it to Masquerade, check out our act, [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw1T-UgoeQc]here[/link].


is it really a surprise that Skeletor likes Motorhead?


we really wanted to get these costumes down to the Mattel booth, and storm Grayskull.


unfortunately, the photo pit was the only place to get real shots.


i think the photogs just wanted to see Evil-Lyn's derriere.




so if the photos didn't get it across, we had a blast!

maybe this video of our Masquerade performance will tell it better... [link]

Nice costumes. Is Evil-Lyn your friend, significant other, evil henchwoman?

my fiancee. i always thought Skeletor and Evil-Lyn behaved like the stereotypical portrayal of a married couple. in fact... aren't they the archetype for Al and Peg Bundy? ha.
