Being a huge MOTU fan, I was brought into Mythic Legions because of characters like Kronnaw and Purrrplor. I love it when artists or franchises pay homage to the cool stuff that came before.

In the late 1970s, Mattel released the Shogun Warriors, huge toys based on japanese anime and tokusatsu. I got aware of those giant toys the day my girlfriend snaged me a Shogun Warriors Godzilla at our local flea market. This was around 2015 or something. As much as I love the big G, I was a bit upset by the the look of this beast. I didn’t understand why he had wheels and why he could shoot his hand like Goldorak. I came to justify all this by thinking it was in reality Mechagodzilla hiding under that green skin all along. Time passed, and my love for that toy kept growing.

This brings us to last summer, when Senior Manager Ruben Martinez and Designer Terrence Higuchi at Mattel thought of the unthinkable. What if Skeletor would find a way to cross dimensions, steal Shogun Warriors tech and build a giant mech version of himself. And they didn’t only thought about it, but released the Shogun Masters Skeletor in all its glory through the Mattel Creations website. And the craziness doesn’t stop there. Since, they also released two other versions of the Mecha Skeletor, the Shogun Masters Golden Havoc Skeletor (limited to 2,000 pieces and the only one still available) and the ultra-rare Dark Malice Skeletor (super limited to 250 pieces).

Now it seems only right that I pit the King of the kaiju against my MOTU figs…Poor Mer-Man.
