Featured in the cheesy shorts of Robot Chicken and created by Mattel, Mo-Larr VS Skeletor presents a great collector’s item.
The set features Skeletor complete with Havoc Staff, a complete sword and a Power Sword half, and his armor. In the diorama box, Skeletor is laying on a dentists chair and his face sculpt is toned green and he is missing a tooth as in the stop-motion short.
Mo-Larr is sculpted in the MOTU Classic’s form and has his lab coat, and a great selection of accessories including a box of floss, a scraper/pick, a mirror, over-sized pliers with poor Skeletor’s tooth and the F-ing drill. Just about all of Mo-Larr’s tools of the trade are chrome and the box of floss has actual string–really well detailed!
The back of the box was the biggest surprise, in the prototype or sales photos the set-up was quite different by featuring Mer-Man and Beast Man in their regular “also available” poses, however the true set-up as you can see in the picture are Grizzlor with the F-ing drill in his eye and a comical description and the other is once again Beast Man except he is tied up at the moment with dental floss–also with a comical description.
The character bio pictures are the same, except the Mattycollector.com website had the Keldor bio in the item description section for Skeletor, not the Robot Chicken-related bio.
I originally didn’t care for this set, but I figured once it sold out it would be gone forever (retail, that is) there is a small chance of a re-issue, but usually not with a SDCC exclusive, so I grabbed it and was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my purchase.
I don’t recommend opening the set because the packaging is collectible as it is by being a diorama.
If you want this set, try to find the lowest price on the secondary market.
Totally awesome!

Too funny! I’ve always felt that the dentist has the potential to be a real horror figure (sorry all you dentists out there)!
