Guy Masters Universe, Builds Giant Skeletor Action Figure Replica

If you are a He-Man fan who finds the 80′s action figures just a little too small, check this out. Oh and clear some floor space if you want to make one of these yourself. This is a giant replica of the Skeletor action figure, no doubt made by the power of Grayskull.

This giant action figure was made by Diego D. Gonzalez of DDG Colecciones. I guess the standard action figure size wasn’t big enough. Skeletor even has his staff accessory, which has been super-sized as well.

Here are some images and video documenting the build…

Boy that stand being used to hold Skeletor up during construction doesn’t look too comfortable.

Blacksmith Forges He-Man’s Sword of Power

By the power of Grayskull. A blacksmith named Tony Swatton has made a real life version of He-Man’s sword of power. Tony has made weapons for a bunch of movies and TV shows, so hey, why not?

He has made swords for Game of Thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batarangs for Batman, and the list goes on. Now he makes weapons for his YouTube series, Man At Arms. And now he has made He-Man’s sword.

This impressively large sword has a 36-inch blade and it is the real deal. This one could kill somebody.  The build video is definitely worth watching – especially when he puts it to the test on that poor car.

Look out, Skeletor! No word on whether the blade has the powers of Castle Grayskull, but it sure is a beauty.
