In-package photos of MOTUC Skeletor and Stratos

105009The German site Planet Eternia has photos of Masters of the Universe Classics Skeletor (due in January) and Stratos (February).

A lot of fans on He-Man.org are bothered by Stratos’s yellow/golden belt…the original figure had a red belt. It’s no big deal to me, but it’s odd Mattel doesn’t get these little details straight.

Stratos was one of my favorites of the original He-Man figures as a kid, but I never warmed up to the 2002 version. His lack of knee and proper shoulder articulation, and the swivel neck which didn’t let him look up to fly, really bugged me. Fortunately, the MOTUC version should correct all those issues.

It’s too bad there won’t be variants, though, because I would have liked to see a red harness/blue wings version, like the original toy had.
