The souls collected in the Skelcon’s mouth is a minuscule detail that I was so surprised that they included. I mean, they are tiny, and many, all on that narrow jaw.
I was contemplating swapping their three-toed feet onto a more classic looking Skeletor. I would do it with both Skelcons.
New Eternia Faker is in stock on BBTS. Feel like he was difficult to find at list price for a while.

Dang, I broke my "no reseller" rule for Faker last year, guess this is just how it is!
My NE Evil Lyn arrived from amazon and not only is her helmet too high, it's crooked and she has glue on her face. Big oof. Knew I should have cancelled the PO and just bought it from Target.com, at least it would be easier to return.
EDIT: Watched some reviews and I saw someone with the same Evil Lyn issues with a copy from Target. Nowhere is safe! Some talk amongst comments that it has to do with them moving their production from China to Vietnam. It wouldn't surprise me because my MOTU x TMNT Leatherhead has a lot of QC issues and he's made in Vietnam. I'm not going to open this Evil-Lyn to find out but I'd be curious, if anyone here has her and wants to check where their copy is from, it'd be neat to find out if this assumption has merit.
I finally got the Skelcons as well after they were delayed in the mail for a while due to the weather. I really like this figure a lot. I got 2 of them, but I may get more. I love all the weapons, and it's just a cool, imposing looking troop builder. Mattel did great.
Now, on Wal-Mart.com my Vintage Collection Skeletor and Zodac are still delayed. Not only that, but now the preauthorization charge is no longer on my credit card bill.
I imagine eventually Wal-Mart will cancel these on me. But maybe they'll ship out. I wish these would just go up on BBTS.

I haven't opened my Lyn yet, but she does not have these issues. I got her off Target's website. The packaging says "Made in China. Accessories made in Vietnam"
Apparently my Skeletor and Zodac Vintage Collection figures from Wal-Mart.com are now time travelers. They are no longer marked as "Delayed", and instead now say they are arriving January 19th, 2025.
So, they will be arriving 8 days in the past. If this works, I am taking back everything I ever said bad about Wal-Mart.
It had been so long since I placed these that I'd completely forgotten about them. My Skeletor shows an expected date of March 1 and Zodac says May 1. That's still better than the DC Multiverse Darkseid with throne that they simply canceled on me for no reason whatsoever.

Darkseid doesn’t like people watching him on “the throne.”
Better check your shelves! They may already be displayed!Apparently my Skeletor and Zodac Vintage Collection figures from Wal-Mart.com are now time travelers. They are no longer marked as "Delayed", and instead now say they are arriving January 19th, 2025.

Walmart updated my delayed Skeletor to Jan 18, so similar situation, but Zodac from the same order is still delayed.
Got a replacement Evil-Lyn from Amazon and she looks way better. At least in her face. Her body has it's own issues, like fuzzy glue on her loin cloth thingy and some weird indents on her boobs (NNOOOOOO!!!)
Guess I'll see if I can frankenstein two mid QC figures into one good one.
Similar to cmoney, they both say "Made in China. Accessories made in Vietnam" on the box, and again on their butts. The newer one with the better face seems to be more matte and thus has a slightly-lighter skin tone. It's kind of weird. I think the shiny one with the bad face's skin matches her head skin tone better but the matte, lighter one looks like a nicer toy.
One last thing, I charged both their sceptres with a black light and one glows vibrantly and the other barely glows at all! So I think this figure is going to be very divisive depending on QC.
Sounds like Faker has been confirmed for the Masterverse Vintage Collection. No details when and where he'll be available, but he will be joining the vintage collection figures like He-Man, Skeletor, and Zodac later this year.
Well Walmart just canceled my retro Skeletor. Zodac is still back ordered. This company…..
Yup. Canceled my recent Skeletor order as well, glad I kept the original order just in case. Sigh.
Also got my recent order of Skeletor/Zodac canceled, but my original orders are intact, March/May ETA respectively.
Add me to the list of cancelled Skeletors ..... 😡
