It also has a yellow energy trail that fits over He-man's right fist. This is also one of the first figures with a closed fist which has been receiving mixed reactions. Overall, it's a nice looking figure and this is apparently what he wore to the Ultimate Battleground, so it's neat to have, anyway. I believe the Skeletor equivelant was Dragon Blast Skeletor which had a serpent backpack and it squirted water out of it's mouth. I have the vintage figure somewhere. It looked kind of cool in a weird way, but also a little goofy. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info man! What's the Ultimate Battleground? I bet it's only a matter of time before we see the Dragon Blast Skeletor in MOTUC. I don't mind a closed fist since it goes with the Thunder Punch theme.

That's cool that you got the figure. I watched some of the original motu cartoon but forgot about it. I was a fan of the New Adventures but forgot almost all of it.

In 2002 I watched the last toon but fell behind. I'm slowly watching it again on DVD. Impressed so far, and it only increased my desire for more motuc figures.
