Mattel Reveals MOTU Baby Skeletor

[Joe Moore]

I like weird cooky shit, but a baby with an acid burned face might be a little too out there for me. Plus it's creepy as hell.

It doesn't really look like the baby Skeletor from the Robot Chicken skits, he didn't have a shirt.

agreed guess they had to make changes to insure they dont have to share profits with robot chicken

Pathetic, that's just pathetic.

LOVE IT!!!!! I am a fan of the macomb though. My son drew Freddy and Jason at age 4 and my wife collects Living Dead Dolls. This would fit right in here. Should be a big hit with girls too. The Jack Skelington crowd anyway.

I like that they have thought outside of the box. I don't get Robot Chicken since I moved to the UK, so I am unaware of any parody but overall.... I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.... doubt it will ever make unto our shelves.... but I am happy that it exsists.

Edit.... coming soon to a Hot Topic near you, "like oh my Gawd and stuff. Can you believe that Jessica is totally a cutter and her mom....WAIT, look at that Skeletor... Oh em gee... I am like soooo buying it!"

I love how Matty dances around the show's name in explaining the inspiration for the toy. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't try to do a cross-promotion with Cartoon Network and Robot Chicken so they could actually release this to regular retail as an exclusive or something.

Regardless, I'd practically guarantee that Seth Green (or his assistant) will be buying one on June 16th. I mean, how often does a company take a joke you made about them and run with it themselves?

I'd be fine with the creepiness if the toy was smaller, like around 3-5" tall. Twelve inches is just too big for something like this, IMHO. I do think the "Born to Rule" t-shirt and Havoc Rattle are nice touches, though.

??? Do you mean macabre? Because when I first read your post, I though you were name-checking the writer of the RC episode or something.

I could totally see that happening if it weren't a Mattycollector exclusive. Right there between those shirts with the cute skulls and the wall of Hello Kitty tees.

I know the matty forum is non-plussed, but I had a friend of mine -who has no interest in MOTUC- ask me if baby Skeletor could be pre-ordered because his girlfriend wants one. Mattycollector should save some of these for comic con, get some interest to the brand and that.

Well they did make an official Mo-larr: Eternian dentist set in partnership with Robot Chicken.

I love this little guy. He's the funniest toy released in 2014.
