After finally getting my hands on Keldor, I have to say that this MOTU bonus figure is easily one of my top five figures of 2010. This has been a great year so far for fans of the MYP 2002 animated series as we will be getting four figures based on characters from the cartoon including the upcoming Count Marzo, Chief Carnivus and the triumphant return of King Grayskull in the Fall. Although Keldor was slotted as a bonus character, it is an A-list character which should have been part of the Club Eternia subscription.
Once again, the Four Horsemen have exceeded my expectationa by delivering this amazing MOTU Classics version of Prince Keldor. This highly poseable version of Keldor features new boots, a removable cape and a brand new head sculpt which looks fantastic. Although the chest harness on this figure is the same as that of the standard Skeletor figure, the crossbones are silver and the circular stone in between is painted in a vibrant ruby red color. The cape has an opening in the back which allows for the joined half swords to be slid into the strap on the back of his chest harness for easy storage.
Keldor’s blue flesh tone is also a lot lighter and livelier than that of Skeletor and stands out significantly among other MOTUC figures. For those of you who have wanted to display the Skeletor figure with a cape, it can now be done thanks to this great new figure.
Keldor includes two separate halves of the classic power sword that came with Skeletor. While the swords may look good in photos, it is very hard to keep them from falling out of Keldor's hands because of how thin they are. It is a shame that the 200X-inspired half swords are not included with this figure.
Overall, Prince Keldor is an awesome new addition to the ever growing MOTUC collection.
