Skeletor was the inspiration for the 2019 self-help book What Would Skeletor Do? Diabolical Ways to Master the Universe by Robb Pearlman.

It features multiple points of articulation, allowing for various poses and play options. Skeletor is depicted wearing a blue and purple bodysuit with vibrant yellow accents, representing his futuristic makeover in the show. The show also explores a different dynamic between He-Man and Skeletor. Skeletor is initially not aware of He-Man’s identity and views him merely as a powerful force that opposes him. He-Man, on the other hand, struggles with the weight of his responsibilities and doubts about his own abilities. In "The Sword of Grayskull", when a now-adolescent Adam, living in the jungle with the Tiger Tribe and having forgotten his previous life, succeeds in transforming into He-Man, a stil-reclusive Keldor at Snake Mountain feels the power of Grayskull that he has always coveted. The 2002 version of Skeletor is generally regarded as competent, although unlike the New Adventures version, was unable to accomplish any real victory.The Italy factory produced 11 (5.5”) figures, plus both Giants (Tytus and Megator). Of those 5.5” figures, they produced both Laser figures just like the Spain line.

The figures tend to be colorful and beautiful, albeit fragile. Standouts of the France line include the 7 soft boot figures (He-Man, Fisto, Man-at-Arms, Jitsu, Triklops, Thunderpunch He-Man, and Battle Armor He-Man), as well as big arm Fisto with dark katana and Stinkor with blue He-Man mold shield.
