Baby Skeletor?
Someone at Mattel is having too much fun. How did a Baby Skeletor toy makes its way onto the web as an upcoming product, and just how many people are going to grab this thing when it is released?
It’s funny, but I’m gonnna pass. Instead of spending $35 on the toy (plus tax and shipping, so probably $50) I think I’ll find something else to do. Despite not wanting one I had to share it, though, because this is simply too damned weird not to point at.
Show of hands! Who is ordering one of these?
The Evil Lord of Destruction™ goes back in time… and turns into an itty bitty blue baby! This tale of a tyrannical tot, an unexpected detour, and buffalo wings comes from the twisted minds at one of our favorite stop-motion TV shows, and was the inspiration for this little guy. A must-have for true MOTUC fans, Baby Skeletor™ measures 12†tall (a total of 15†when sitting on his evil royal potty, including the potty) with articulation at the legs, shoulders and neck, and a face only a mother could… nope, sorry… even she thinks he’s hideous. The childish commander and his commode arrive in a unique closed-box throne package, and comes with a removable “Born to Rule†baby t-shirt and his Havoc Staff rattle. Baby Skeletor® may seem harmless, but remember… 80% of his body weight is in his horrible head!
cute but pass. maybe if it was 3″
Yet another connection from Robot Chicken!
Somehow Toy Guru is trying to merge the Robot Chicken universe with MOTU! NERD RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!
To be honest, it’s cute. I love cute things, but I don’t know how much I necessarily need it. I wouldn’t mind the design on a t-shirt or something — but to spend $35 on this guy? I’m not quite so sure. I think I’d rather take the $35 + $2.19 + $10(+/-) for shipping and spend it on the Funko MOTU POP! Vinyls.
This is an expensive year, especially with two conventions I am attending, I really need to watch my pennies. So my gut reaction is “aww, cute!” but if my good sense wins out I will pass.
